Wall-E by Pixar is a wonderful cartoon computer animated movie that is sweet and easy to follow. Great Disney cutsy-ness. Soothing visuals, not too complex, that today's film's should take as an example. The playful lovemaking scene around the Space Colony is pure art, pure joy to watch, the best of cinema. As usual there is a romance in the story which the story hinges on, same old-same old Disney formula. My problem with this Disneyana, is that the writer-director Andrew Stanton worked pretty much off the top of his head, as revealed in the Special Features on the DVD. This movie is irresponsible in the fact that it shows it's audience, largely kids, that if we inhabit space, live in a space colony, we will become spoiled blob-like babies, who've even forgotten how to walk. Today, when children should be learning the positive aspects, and evolution, of our inhabiting space, this movie discourages the dream. We're in big trouble, folks, with Wall-E. One can't help sense Disney has some political agenda to promote the "greening" of Earth, and the hell with our future in space, Wall-E being a post-evacuation dystopia. With all the millions of dollars for this Pixar production, it's time Andrew Stanton, Disney, and Pixar grew up and took some responsibility for our societal situations and our children's future. This aspect of Wall-E reminds me of the damage that Peter Blatty and William Friedkin did with "The Exorcist" in 1972, during a very hard time in America, with the Vietnam War and Nixon. Yet they still consider themselves to have produced a wonderful enlightening movie for society. Everything looks great when computer animated, but there's deeper consequences for our indifference. Let's not toss out the baby with the bath water. WALL-E just may toss out the inspiration of our young people to evolve into space, believing we will become fat lazy idiots out there. A self destructive notion, at the wrong time in our history. But Disney’s ethics joined the decay of our society a long time ago.Read full review
The case is damaged and shows a lot of use, and this case in particular is very different and annoying than typical DVD cases. You have to pull out a slit with the DVD in it and it doesn't pull out all the way. The DVD itself also has signs of use with some minor scratches and a lot of smudges on it. Thankfully I watched the movie and it worked fine with no skipping or pausing. The only problem I had was that I couldn't get sound to work for the first few minutes but thankfully I was able to fix it and was most likely not the disc's fault. Basically, if you're looking for a very cheap way to get this movie rather than spending $20 new then this works although I would probably spend a few dollars more to get a "like new" or slightly more expensive version that has the case in good condition.

A Great Disney-Pixar Film. It is a story about a little robot that is on earth. Earth is covered in nothing but filthy garbage and mess. It seems like it is set in the time period of a post-apocalyptic society. The only thing that survives on this planet is roaches. Nothing more than filth. This earth removed most of society's people and placed them onto ships, sending them off into space. Wall-E is a robot that collects odd objects, putting these odd objects into his arsenal of everyday items. He is a quirky robot indeed, touring around, being an individual. The humans that were sent into space all of those years ago, about 500 years, into space were fat, large and moved around by floating chairs. They sent probes out to find life on their old planet, earth, to find life. One of them found a sign of life and sent a signal to the ship. This robot, that found the required item, made friends with Wall-E on the Earth. The animation quality of this film is stunning, and looks very exceptional on any format. Highly recommened, Great Movie! A++Read full review
I really love this movie, the character reminds me of the early 1980's Short Circuit robot. This movie is about a little cleaning compactor robot that was part of a large force left behind to clean up mans trash and garbage that grew to the point that man could no longer stay on earth. Wall-E is the only robot that survived by using other out of commission robot parts to keep him in service. He ends up meeting a robot female from a ship where all of the earthlings have been living for many years waiting for earth to get cleaned up so they can return. He runs into all kinds of issues on the ship with a robot that looks like the one from flight of the navigator from the early 1980s landing him into all kinds of trouble but ends up getting the humans on the ship to come back to earth and clean up their mess and teach their young kids how to take care of earth and it will take care of you.Read full review
My grandsons love this movie so much. They were really upset when our copy of it started to glitch. Was great to find another working copy! Great movie with a good message, especially as we all get so used to doing a lot more online during Covid-19,and relying on more technology.
