Short description
What if mankind had to leave Earth and somebody forgot to turn the last robot off? After hundreds of years doing what he was built for, WALL•E discovers a new purpose in life when he meets a sleek search robot named EVE. EVE comes to realize that WALL•E has inadvertently stumbled upon the key to the planet's future, and races back to space to report to the humans. Meanwhile, WALL•E chases EVE across the galaxy and sets into motion one of the most imaginative adventures ever brought to the big screen.
What's left behind the scenes
- This is the first Pixar film to use real actors.
- The idea to create an animated film about the WALL·E robot originated at Pixar Studios back in 1994. It took 14 years from the idea to the film's premiere.
- Jonathan Ive, the designer who gave the world the iPod, iMac, and iPhone, was involved in developing Eve.
- The film has another slogan: “He’s been doing his job for 700 years. Now he’s about to discover his true purpose.”
- The teaser contains a piece of original music by Michael Kamen for the film “Brazil” (1985). Michael Kamen was going to write music for “The Incredibles” (2004), but died before filming began.
- The name "WALL-E" is an acronym, and in the Russian version it stands for “Universal Annihilator Landscape Light – Intelligent.” The robot’s original full name is “Waste Allocation Load Lifter, Earth class,” which can be roughly translated as “earth-class waste loader.”
- Most of the robots are voiced by Ben Burtt using mechanical sounds he created himself.
- Jim Reardon left his post as director of the series “The Simpsons” (1989) to do animation for this film.
- WALL·E has an entire collection of Zippo lighters, some of them even work – 700 years after they were manufactured! This is obviously a reference to the well-known quality of Zippo products.
- The film is dedicated to Justin Wright, a 27-year-old Pixar animator who died of a heart attack.
- The protocol to which the autopilot (AUTO) is programmed, A113, is a reference to an animation class at the California Institute of the Arts, where many Pixar animators were educated.
- In the World of Warcraft game, there is a robot mailman named M.Y.L.L.E. specifically for engineers.
- WALL·E collects numerous items from the 60s-80s, including a VHS tape of the film “Hello, Dolly!” (1969), a Rubik's Cube, and even an Atari 2600 with the Pong game. Despite the fact that the film takes place 800 years in the future, these items are still in working order.
- The end credits contain not only paintings in the style of many ancient cultures, but also imitate specific performers, such as Vincent van Gogh, Georges-Pierre Seurat, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir.
- After charging the solar batteries, WALL·E makes a sound, the same sound that Apple computers make when booting up.
- A model for the hands of the cleaning robots was found in the handles of the toilet stalls at the Pixar studio.
- Many note the similarity between the robot characters WALL-E and Johnny 5 from the film “Short Circuit” (1986), even extending to the film poster design.
- The scene where the captain fights the onboard computer to the music of Strauss is a reference to the film "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968).
- The last piece of trash that WALL-E throws away as he leaves Earth is the first artificial satellite of Earth, launched by the USSR.
