Wall-E [DVD] [2008]

Product Information

There is the setting of outer space, which since Toy Story 2's emphatic opening has seemed like one vast canvas begging the studio to tell more stories there. Ben Marwick has written how the character of WALL-E resembles an archaeologist with his methodical collection and classification of quotidian human artefacts. Each home entertainment release contains the feature film and a payload of fantastic bonus features, including an exciting all-new animated short film BURN•E, the story of a stalwart repair robot by the same name who is determined to do his job, but is foiled at every turn by WALL•E's adventures aboard the Axiom. It won Best Animated Feature Film at the 66th Golden Globe Awards, 81st Academy Awards, and the Broadcast Film Critics Association Awards 2008. Transport yourself to a fascinating new world with Disney•Pixar's latest adventure, now even more astonishing on DVD and Blu-ray Hi-def and loaded with bonus features, including the exclusive animated short film BURN•E.

In the 29th century, Earth is a garbage-strewn wasteland due to an ecocide, caused by rampant consumerism, corporate greed, and environmental neglect. Eggleston tried to avoid the colors yellow and green so WALL-E—who was made yellow to emulate a tractor—would not blend into the deserted Earth, and to make the plant more prominent. Back in the days of Pixar's earliest releases, that total would have made it box office king for the year. It says more about ecology and society than any live-action film—all the people on their loungers floating around, brilliant stuff.This makes it both the first Pixar feature film and the eighth Walt Disney Pictures film to be released [a] under the Criterion label. Stanton chose angles for the virtual cameras that a live-action filmmaker would choose if filming on a set. In the centuries since the Axiom left Earth, its passengers are now morbidly obese due to microgravity and the lack of physical activity (they move on hover-chairs instead of walking), with robots catering to their every whim.

It won the 2008 Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Feature Film, the 2009 Hugo Award for Best Long Form Dramatic Presentation, [9] the final Nebula Award for Best Script, [10] the Saturn Award for Best Animated Film and the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature with five additional Oscar nominations. That tradition is admired with clips of vintage animated shorts and films compared to the effects being generated by Jimmy MacDonald in a 1983 Disney studio piece. Academy Award®-winning sound designer Ben Burtt (the Star Wars and Indiana Jones franchises) provides the endearing voice of WALL•E, the little robot who never quits. The stunning Blu-ray release (both two and three-disc versions) of WALL•E offers audiences the chance to really enjoy the true colors, depth and sound exactly as the filmmakers envisioned it! Auto was a conscious homage to HAL 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey, [25] and the usage of Also sprach Zarathustra for the showdown between Captain McCrea and Auto furthers that.

But, Newman remarked that animation is so dependent on scheduling he should have begun work earlier on when Stanton and Reardon were writing the script. All these ads and sadly, none of WALL•E's trailers make the cut on DVD; they're exclusive to Blu-ray along with a gallery and some BD-Live features. Every film presents new opportunities for Pixar to interpret and design environments, imaginary or not.
