Product ReviewsWall-E (DVD, 2008)

Great movie with a good message!

My grandsons love this movie so much. They were really upset when our copy of it started to glitch. Was great to find another working copy! Great movie with a good message, especially as we all get so used to doing a lot more online during Covid-19,and relying on more technology. Read full review...

Not great but it's worth the price

The case is damaged and shows a lot of use, and this case in particular is very different and annoying than typical DVD cases. You have to pull out a slit with the DVD in it and it doesn't pull out all the way. The DVD itself also has signs of use with some minor scratches and a lot of smudges on it.
Thankfully I watched the movie and it worked fine with no skipping or pausing. The only problem I had was that I couldn't get sound to work for the first few minutes but thankfully I was able to fix it and was most likely not the disc's fault.
Basically, if you're looking for a very cheap way to get this movie rather than spending $20 new then this works although I would probably spend a few dollars more to get a "like new" or slightly more expensive version that has the case in good condition. Read full review...

WALL-E DVD - Irresponsible - Our Future Hell In Space?

Wall-E by Pixar is a wonderful cartoon computer animated movie that is sweet and easy to follow. Great Disney cutsy-ness. Soothing visuals, not too complex, that today's film's should take as an example. The playful lovemaking scene around the Space Colony is pure art, pure joy to watch, the best of cinema. As usual there is a romance in the story which the story hinges on, same old-same old Disney formula.

My problem with this Disneyana, is that the writer-director Andrew Stanton worked pretty much off the top of his head, as revealed in the Special Features on the DVD. This movie is irresponsible in the fact that it shows it's audience, largely kids, that if we inhabit space, live in a space colony, we will become spoiled blob-like babies, who've even forgotten how to walk. Today, when children should be learning the positive aspects, and evolution, of our inhabiting space, this movie discourages the dream. We're in big trouble, folks, with Wall-E. One can't help sense Disney has some political agenda to promote the "greening" of Earth, and the hell with our future in space, Wall-E being a post-evacuation dystopia. With all the millions of dollars for this Pixar production, it's time Andrew Stanton, Disney, and Pixar grew up and took some responsibility for our societal situations and our children's future. This aspect of Wall-E reminds me of the damage that Peter Blatty and William Friedkin did with "The Exorcist" in 1972, during a very hard time in America, with the Vietnam War and Nixon. Yet they still consider themselves to have produced a wonderful enlightening movie for society. Everything looks great when computer animated, but there's deeper consequences for our indifference. Let's not toss out the baby with the bath water. WALL-E just may toss out the inspiration of our young people to evolve into space, believing we will become fat lazy idiots out there. A self destructive notion, at the wrong time in our history. But Disney’s ethics joined the decay of our society a long time ago.Read full review...

Wall-E

A Great Disney-Pixar Film.
It is a story about a little robot that is on earth. Earth is covered in nothing but filthy garbage and mess. It seems like it is set in the time period of a post-apocalyptic society. The only thing that survives on this planet is roaches.
Nothing more than filth. This earth removed most of society's people and placed them onto ships, sending them off into space.

Wall-E is a robot that collects odd objects, putting these odd objects into his arsenal of everyday items. He is a quirky robot indeed, touring around, being an individual.

The humans that were sent into space all of those years ago, about 500 years, into space were fat, large and moved around by floating chairs.

They sent probes out to find life on their old planet, earth, to find life.
One of them found a sign of life and sent a signal to the ship.
This robot, that found the required item, made friends with Wall-E on the Earth.

The animation quality of this film is stunning, and looks very exceptional on any format.
Highly recommened, Great Movie! A++Read full review...

Wall-E

I really love this movie, the character reminds me of the early 1980's Short Circuit robot. This movie is about a little cleaning compactor robot that was part of a large force left behind to clean up mans trash and garbage that grew to the point that man could no longer stay on earth. Wall-E is the only robot that survived by using other out of commission robot parts to keep him in service. He ends up meeting a robot female from a ship where all of the earthlings have been living for many years waiting for earth to get cleaned up so they can return. He runs into all kinds of issues on the ship with a robot that looks like the one from flight of the navigator from the early 1980s landing him into all kinds of trouble but ends up getting the humans on the ship to come back to earth and clean up their mess and teach their young kids how to take care of earth and it will take care of you.Read full review...

Wall-E

Even for Pixar, this might be a first: an animated film that contains not only a fully realized world as photorealistic as it is full of wonder, but also the Gargantuan themes and visuals of 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY, the stripped-down sad-clown pathos found in classic Buster Keaton comedies, and one of the most moving and simply unique love stories in a long time. Director Andrew Stanton kicked up the visual acuity of an already-stellar Pixar Animation Studios in 2003 with a reflective, refractive, color-shimmery realization of the oceanic world of FINDING NEMO, which genuinely felt as though it spanned the entire earth. With WALL-E, Stanton replaces an apprehensively fishy estranged journeyer with a love-struck and curious robotic one, allowing the quest for eternal love to expand from a desolate, dust-covered, palpably polluted future Earth and into an even more mysterious abyss: the far reaches of outer space. With virtually no dialogue, WALL-E's neatly contained vaudevillian first act eerily and tragically introduces the robot of the title as the last living thing on Earth (aside from a little cockroach friend) amidst dilapidated skyscrapers and equally tall compacted trash heaps. WALL-E has developed a tender and inquisitive personality doing what he was built to do day in and day out for the past 700 years--allocate and dispose of human waste--simply because no one turned him off when the human race left the hostile polluted planet. When the directive-oriented Eve robot comes crashing into his life from above, WALL-E immediately becomes infatuated with her, and is willing to follow her to back into dangerous outer space, where two robots gliding through the ether, dancing via fire-extinguisher propulsion, are among the many memorable and grandly romantic moments of an expansively beautiful, deceptively simple story.Read full review...

Great DVD & storyline for kids & works great in my grandson's player~!

Seller worked fast in getting this to my autistic grandson. Although he had it on Blue Ray and Amazon for the living room, my daughter had purchased a flat screen/dvd combo for his room. He is 4 yrs old and loves Wall-E and is content at times to watch 2-3x in a row but til this arrived, it had to be watched in living room which would sometimes disturb his siblings. He also didnt understand that the blu-ray wouldnt work in his DVD player so this was the perfect solution~!

The DVD arrived a few days after the auction and was in perfect condition. He began watching it immediately. He typically asks for movies by naming them and saying "Now on DVD" which is very funny the first few times but til this arrived he was constantly asking for it. Now he is happy again and still enjoys watching Wall-E almost every day and is learning to talk better by repeating parts of the movie.

The storyline is good for all viewers but especially good for my autistic grandson~!He loves it~!Read full review...

WALL-E

This is a great movies for children's, usually the children material in the recent years is full of violence and we don't know how the new movies and general cartoons are going to be an influence in our children's life, and we can have an idea about the directions of their life if they just watch violent movies or play violent video games, so we as parents we can prevent this.
And that is why i choose this movie is about friends and love for your friend, and is about how many great thing we can conquer when we work together to save our planet, it shows how great life can be when we live in peace and harmony.
I highly recommend this movies and for parents to watch it with their kids as a family the most valuable thing that we have....our family....our children's.Read full review...

Top 5 Movie of All-Time

While at first glance, Wall-E might seem juvenile, the plot is the exact opposite. I definitely won't give any of the plot away, but this is a multi-faceted story of what -true- romance is all about, an attempt to make us step back and look at where society is headed, and a humorous interpretation of what twists and turns life might have in store. The -entire- film is filled with superb animation, sound quality, and one of the top 3 best soundtracks I've ever heard in any movie.

Overall, this movie was thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish and maintains pure content with an exceptional storyline to create the type of movie that America has been deprived of.Read full review...
