FILM FACT: ‘WALL•E’ was the most complex PIXAR Animation Studios production since ‘Monsters, Inc.’ because of the world and the history that had to be conveyed. Whereas most PIXAR Animation Studios films have up to 75,000 storyboards, WALL•E required 125,000. Production designer Ralph Eggleston wanted the lighting of the first act on Earth to be romantic, and that of the second act on the AXIOM Starliner spacecraft to be cold and sterile. During the third act, the romantic lighting is slowly introduced into the AXIOM Starliner spacecraft environment. PIXAR Animation Studios studied Chernobyl and the city of Sofia to create the ruined world; art director Anthony Christov was from Bulgaria and recalled Sofia used to have problems storing its garbage. Ralph Eggleston bleached out the whites on Earth to make WALL•E feel vulnerable. The overexposed light makes the location look vaster. Because of the haziness, the cubes making up the towers of garbage had to be large; otherwise they would have lost shape. The dull tans of Earth subtly become soft pinks and blues when EVE arrives. When WALL•E shows EVE all his collected items, all the lights he has collected light up to give an inviting atmosphere, like a Christmas tree. Eggleston tried to avoid the colours 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. Andrew Stanton also wanted the lighting to look realistic and evoke the science fiction films of his youth. Andrew Stanton wanted the AXIOM's interior to resemble Shanghai and Dubai. Andrew Stanton wanted WALL•E to be a box and EVE to be like an egg. WALL•E's eyes were inspired by a pair of binoculars Andrew Stanton was given when watching the Oakland Athletics play against the Boston Red Sox. Andrew Stanton wanted EVE to be at the higher end of technology. In 2001 ‘WALL•E’ became the second PIXAR Animation Studios feature film (after ‘Toy Story’) to be selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.” Alec Azam was a conscious homage to HAL 9000 from ‘2001: A Space Odyssey,’ and the usage of Also Sprach Zarathustra for the showdown between Captain McCrea and Alec Azam furthers that.

Andrew's Blu-ray Review: ‘WALL•E’ [2008] is a PIXAR Animation Studios film is one for all ages, a total masterpiece to be savoured before or after the end of the world, assuming, like the title character, you're still around when all the humans have taken off and have access to an old video player. WALL-E is a trash compactor, the last of his kind from an age in which cleaning up garbage was mankind's highest priority and before people threw in the towel and the broom, and apparently rocketed away. Now, this robot with his pivoting goggle eyes resides in a metropolis surrounded by skyscrapers that turn out, on closer inspection, to be compressed trash bricks piled high into the soot-grey sky. This animation film, directed by Andrew Stanton and his PIXAR collaborators have taken all cultural detritus, especially bits and pieces from cherished film genres, pop icons, visionary sci-fi tropes, half-remembered bric-a-brac from childhood and compacted it all into a sublime work of art. This PIXAR Animation Studios animated film is widely recognised as a critique on society. It brings up real issues that the world, and especially densely populated areas, are dealing with today and even more so in the future. Katherine Ellison asserts that “Americans produce nearly 400 million tons of solid waste per year but recycle less than a third of it, according to a recent Columbia University study.” Landfills are filling up so quickly that the UK may run out of landfill space by the next decade.
There were advance rumbles that ‘WALL•E’ would be tough going for children and go over their heads, that its story would not be understood, with its grim outlook in its storytelling experimental. Although the images are frequently flabbergasting, the narrative is as simple as Chaplin, Keaton, Jacques Tati, even the Teletubbies! Maybe the animation film only seems experimental because it's evenly paced, linear and doesn't call for viewers to do the perceptual equivalent of multitasking, which viewers these days seem to like!
Although there's plenty of silent film slapstick, the apocalyptic context adds a hefty dose of melancholy. We laugh when WALL-E finds a little box with a diamond ring and then tosses the ring and keeps the box, but the thought of the couple that left it behind is rather poignant. Dust storms drive WALL-E into his lair, where he endlessly re-watches clips from the film ‘Hello, Dolly!’ and particularly the opening number with Michael Crawford warbling about going to the city and kissing a girl. It's WALL•E's only link to the 1990’s senses and the world of limitless horizons and conspicuous consumption and crowds of people. For companionship, WALL•E is limited to an evolved cockroach that's virtually indestructible and also indestructible are cream pastries he consumes that are clearly modelled on Twinkies [American confectionary] and a great punch line to all the jokes about the perishability of that synthesised cake like product.
From the beginning, PIXAR Animation Studios was a beacon for the future of animation film technology, explored themes of loss, decay, and the dark side of materialism. The old-fashioned toys of ‘Toy Story’ were soulful repositories of childhood love rendered obsolete by newer and fancier models. Even PIXAR Animation Studios most routinely plotted film, ‘CARS’ was steeped in the romance of old machines. It's as if those machines hold memories that humans forget and beauties that have been overlooked with growing up in a fast-paced cyber-world.
Here, director Andrew Stanton of ‘Finding Nemo’ extends that theme to the ruination of the entire planet, which he explicitly ties to an unchecked free-market embodied by a giant corporation that took over with the "Buy ‘n’ Large" and I feel they are more aiming their target at Wal-Mart. And its message is aimed at too much consumption, that helps to soften and fatten the human race, which you can see the results with the humans on the AXIOM Starliner spacecraft and separate them from the natural world. The storms, meanwhile, conjure up the planet's most catastrophic man-made environmental disaster and especially the Dust Bowl, born of greed for corn profits that left topsoil suddenly vulnerable to winds.
The first part of ‘WALL•E’ has no verbal talk, apart from the ‘Hello, Dolly!’ VHS Tape Video and Fred Willard on an old massive video screen as Buy ‘n’ Large's global CEO. Then a rocket descends, accompanied by Thomas Newman's film music score, which, like the animation film, is a gloriously inspired mélange, like Warner Bros. cartoons. What emerges from that ship is Eve, a smooth white egg like robot with a head that floats above her unattached, but vaguely Japanese look, with violet cat eyes, like a sprite out of Miyazaki. WALL•E is instantly smitten, even though Eve blasts anything she deems a threat and culminating in an edgy courtship at the start of their contact.
Eve's mission and where it leads eventually to Eve and WALL-E discovering each other. But humans are sort of involved, and there are rollicking chases and eventually a tender love story. When a little-girl giggle comes out of Eve, WALL•E suddenly seems like one of those animation films where two lonely robots discover each other and share wordless adventures. There's a rocketing Pas de deux space between WALL•E and Eve in which the lyricism is positively transcendental. Somehow these two robot machines have to rein supreme with what is left of mankind with the joy of play. Their electronic coos and twitters recall ‘Star Wars’ and ‘E.T.’ especially with their only visual aid is a tiny pot.
Like all previous PIXAR Animation Studios films, the meaning of ‘WALL-E’ is deeper and more profound than the merchandising opportunities found therein. It's a love story, yes, but it's also a story about staying true to your own heart in the blandly evil face of authority. It's a tale about saving the small things and cherishing the world you live in, no matter how imperfect its surface might seem. Andrew Stanton, who won an Oscar in 2004 for ‘Finding Nemo,’ has certainly earned his place in the pantheon of animation pioneers, but with ‘WALL•E,’ it has taken not only the art of animation, but the art of storytelling to new, unimaginable heights. This animation film ‘WALL•E’ is a character who is a very poetic figure of the robot drawn to human splendour, remains powerful throughout and PIXAR Animation Studios loveliest creation.

Blu-ray Image Quality – ‘WALL•E’ gets a direct-to-digital transfer presented in a stunning 1080p image and with a brilliant 2.39:1 aspect ratio. PIXAR Animation Studios has said that there is not a pixel out of place, and the hyperbole is justified. ‘WALL•E’ is a visual masterpiece, and the sparkling surfaces are as sharp and clean as any high-definition image you are going to see. Much of the animation is photo-realistic, and the level of detail to the picture is five-star. A good portion of ‘WALL•E’ takes place on dusty planet surfaces, so there is some intentional diffusing of the picture, but it's absolutely appropriate to the intended look of the film. Shadow delineation is also superb, with even the darkest areas of the picture revealing the finest of textures still visible. The colour palette is expansive, and one of the best examples I have ever seen. Comparing the Blu-ray to a bog standard DVD edition of ‘WALL•E,’ it is clear how much smoother fine gradients of colour are in high-def. Hues are also richer, especially primary colours. Flesh tones, as they are, are also accurate. But most impressive about 'WALL•E' is the sense of depth to the picture. This is as close to 3-D as you are going to get without wearing glasses and on a large screen the effect is magnificent. Predictably, the encode image is rock solid, with no artefacts, edginess or moiré patterns, and an absence of noise. For my money, ‘WALL•E’ is the new reference standard for an animated presentation on Blu-ray. Please Note: Playback Region B/2: This will not play on most Blu-ray players sold in North America, Central America, South America, Japan, North Korea, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. Learn more about Blu-ray region specifications.
Blu-ray Audio Quality – The 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio track is offered for ‘WALL•E.’ There are no other mixes offered and not even standard Dolby Digital or any other foreign language dubs or subtitles. The audio is superb, delivering a fully immersive experience that is sure to dazzle. Animated films are always a treat to enjoy on high-definition because their soundtracks are constructed wholly in the studio, from the ground up. Every element sounds in the right place, with an expert balance of effects, music and dialogue. The added surround channel helps open up the rear soundstage wonderfully, with excellent seamless pans between all channels. Discrete effects are numerous, and subtle ambiance is almost always sustained. The score is also perfectly integrated and bled throughout. Dynamic range is rich and robust, with excellent clarity and attenuation across the entire frequency spectrum. Low bass is as tight as a drum and never overpowering to the rest of the mix. Though ‘WALL•E’ is surprisingly light on dialogue, particularly the first half of the film, the spoken word isn't given short thrift and the mix is always perfectly balanced. Finally, it's no surprise, given that this is a PIXAR Animation Studios film, how well- recorded ‘WALL•E’ is. The mix never sounds artificial or processed, and the source is as clean and slick as a newly-waxed floor. ‘WALL•E’ sounds as good as it looks.

Blu-ray Special Features and Extras:
Special Feature: PRESTO [2008] [1080p] [1.78:1] [5:15] ‘PRESTO’ is a 2008 PIXAR Animation Studios amazing imaginative and visually-gorgeous Computer Animated Theatrical Short Film, was released with the theatrical release of ‘WALL•E.’ ‘PRESTO’ was directed by veteran PIXAR Animation Studios animator Doug Sweetland who made his directorial debut with this animated film, and also voices the two main characters Presto and Alec Azam. This short is about a magician named Presto DiGiotagione and his cute hungry rabbit, Alec Azam. At the beginning of the short, Alec Azam is seen locked in his cage in Presto's dressing room, trying to reach a carrot inches out of his reach. Presto comes in, having finished a meal, to test his magic trick of pulling Alec Azam out of a hat. After he sees that the trick works, Presto is about to feed Alec the carrot, just as he hears a knock on his door, letting him know that it's time for him to go on stage and do his act. Now extremely angry, Presto chases Alec Azam behind the stage and gets pulled by a rope into the air, but soon slips and falls with many heavy objects falling above him. Alec Azam then saves Presto from being crushed by making him fall into the hat. After a short pause, the crowd begins to cheer for Alec Azam and Presto. Alec Azam, in a bad mood, begins to walk away when Presto beckons him to come over. To cheer Alec Azam up, Presto makes the carrot appear again, which Alec Azam immediately eats when he comes out of the hat. They end the show as friends and Alec Azam becomes an even bigger part of Presto's act. Yes, this is a totally imaginative animated cartoon.
Special Feature: BURN-E [2008] [1080p] [1.78:1] [7:35] A beautifully-animated and very whimsical PIXAR Animation Studios short film. ‘BURN-E' is a Repair bot who is a welding robot who is determined to do his job, but is foiled at every turn by WALL•E's adventure aboard the AXIOM Starliner spacecraft. The BURN-E (stands for “Basic Utility Repair Nano Engineer”) and the character is first seen briefly as a welder robot in the film ‘WALL•E’ when WALL•E and EVE fly around the AXIOM Starliner spacecraft, and enter through a door, locking BURN-E outside of the spacecraft. BURN-E is seen banging his fists against the door, and ultimately realising that he has been locked out. After the credits, an arm comes out from SUPPLY-R's body and pats BURN-E's head and he says, in a dull, motionless voice, “There, there.”
