UAC Film: WALL-E

With snow on the ground and the holiday season finally here, a classically heart-warming film from Disney is just the thing to enjoy during the cold month of December.
From the outside, WALL-E appears to be a story about a robot. Slightly boring to watch an animated film about a tiny electronic that wheels his way around a desolate Earth. But from the very beginning, the movie captures the eye. This movie is gorgeous in terms of landscape.
Because of the lack of interaction among living things, WALL-E is just continuing his job cleaning up all of the junk humans have left behind. Which means that almost all of the sound, involves no dialogue. A refreshing change when done right.
This little robot ends up having a big adventure, meeting EVE, a pristine and advanced robot sent to Earth by humans hoping to return. The two form a bond and as time progresses, events become more complicated for the tiny electronic organizer and the fate of the future eventually rests in his hands.
WALL-E combines the best aspects of narrative. Aesthetically pleasing backgrounds, calming, pretty music, and a cute little character just looking for a companion after having been completely alone for so many years.This film nicely covers topics that adults can easily grasp, but may also be learning points for children. Any audience can appreciate the way in which the writers and illustrators have taken  a machine that was built only for cleaning up garbage and given him such a big heart.
