Wall-E

-by Ann Marie

"Wall-E" is an adorable story all age groups.

"Wall-E" follows the story line of a robot left on Earth named Wall-E (Ben Burtt) to help clean up the waste left behind by the humans. Wall-E follows the same work pattern of waking up, charging his battery and working on compacting garbage. One day the pattern is changed, when a spaceship comes to earth and Wall-E meets Eve (Elissa Knight). The two robots go on an adventure to bring the humans back to Earth. This all triggered when Wall-E shows Eve a plant.

The cast for this movie had some huge stars in it such as John Ratzenberger and Sigourney Weaver. However, there were some new voice actors such as Ben Burtt and Elissa Knight. The voice actors worked well together and their inflections helped to tell the story.

"Wall-E" stands out in the animated film because throughout the entire movie dialogue doesn't play a big part. The storyline is told through how the characters react to each other and through their motions.

Andrew Stanton has worked with animated films before such as "Finding Nemo" and "A Bug's Life." All these movies follow the same pattern as many animated films, but "Wall-E" sticks out because it doesn't have dialogue and forces the viewer to watch the reactions of the different characters.

This movie would be recommended for someone who are fans of Pixar and animated children movies.
