Wall-E: 3 Disc Special Edition
In this animated film, the delightful and lovable Wall-E is the last of a vast army of robots built by an all-controlling corporation to clean up the trash mess we earthlings have created. Once humans ship off to the stars, the machines break down, leaving only lonely Wall-E to trash compact himself through the long days...until he meets EVA, a sleek, modern robot sent to Earth to check for any new growth of long-extinct plant life. In love, Wall-E follows his "lady" back to the giant mothership where he becomes part of an effort to bring humankind back home to repopulate the planet.
Special Features: On Disc One - In his Audio Commentary director Andrew Stanton goes into detail on the origins of Wall-E (he's based on a pair of binoculars) and the way the film progressed, it's themes etc. More interesting than most. I loved the animated short films. "Presto" was seen in theaters with Wall-E and is a very funny tale about a magician and his hungry rabbit. "BURN-E" is not as great but cute as it explores a side story of a repair robot who is locked outside the huge Axiom ship. Cute and charming.
