This article is more than 13 years oldAndrew Stanton, 2008He is a scrawny yesterday's man and she is a sleek, top-of-the-range supermodel. But he makes her laugh, pokes pinholes of light into her work-centric worldview and knows where to take her to get the best views of the setting sun. And that's how he winds up getting the girl.
Set on a future earth which has been reduced to a deserted wasteland choked up with landfill, this brilliantly imaginative Pixar-animated tale of the relationship between WALL-E, a rust-addled waste disposing machine, and EVE, a vegetation-evaluating robot, unfolds with all the poetry and emotional pull of the greatest movie love stories. WALL-E is one of Pixar's most successful creations; he has the geeky comedic value of Michael Cera and the cross-generational allure of the baby-eyed ET, but, guided by wonder and hope, he is also a strangely credible romantic lead.
When WALL–E and EVE kiss in zero gravity, they spin around each other in a space-dance that leaves twinkling trails of stardust in their wake, the central force in a Fantasia-like explosion of colour and light which beautifully sums up this heartening film. As a gush of love spreads around the human-run ship like a virus as a result of their robot union, only the most stone-hearted viewer's spirits will not soar alongside.
