Animated sci-fi movies have traditionally not fared well. Two examples are Titan A.E. and Treasure Planet which were both considered flops.
But if it is made by Pixar, which is batting 1000 for hit animated movies, it is almost guaranteed to be a hit.
Pixar’s success started with computer animated short subjects before making Toy Story, their first feature length film. They went on to make A Bug’s Life, Monsters, Inc., The Incredibles and last year’s Ratatouille.
This year it is WALL-E, the story of a robot cleaning up the mess on an abandoned Earth for 700 years after everyone has left. His name stands for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class and he did what he was programmed to do for all those years until something happened: He developed a personality.
After a research robot named EVE comes to Earth and discovers that WALL-E may have stumbled upon the key to the planet’s future, she races back to space to report her findings to the humans who are eagerly awaiting the chance to return home.
Unbeknownst to her, WALL-E is in hot pursuit, chasing EVE across the galaxy, setting off one of the most exciting and imaginative comedy adventures ever brought to the big screen.
It is directed by Andrew Stanton, the Oscar winning director of possibly my favourite Pixar movie, Finding Nemo.
