hey guys! just to make sure we’re on the same page. 90% of my videos is me either joking or being sarcastic, it’s not that serious. I don’t think WALL·E is a crazy stalker, just that some of his actions were odd 😅
anyways, hope you enjoyed my reaction! ❤
I'm glad you commented on the creepiness of the stalking and the objectification of the unconscious female robot who's moved around like a little trophy/blow-up doll. Nobody tends to comment on that bc 'wall-e is cute and innocent and it's just a movie!' but frankly it's a very dubious message to send to little kids.
WALL-E grew up alone, we meet him befriending vermin, wearing a dead man's shoes, and doing self-surgery.
His immature attempts at care are a sign that he does not know what to do.
You were right to say that this is not how things are done. (Even if EVE is designed to interface with machines in her shutdown state.)
the fact that you have to explain that means they are not your audience. You are doing great girl
I'm moreso just confused the point of being sarcastic while watching a movie. If you're gonna be like that all the time I don't see the appeal of watching more from here. If you're not immersed and being genuine what's the point?
@@IceCenders Education begins at home. Its parents who have the obligation to educate their children, not movies. The sole purpose of movies is to entertain. I grew up watching Wall-e and I didn't become a sexual harasser. Those who blame the cinema for people's bad actions are cowards and irresponsible, because only cowards search culprits for take a load off their shoulders.
Pd: It's ridiculous that men can't even ask a woman the time anymore because they risk being accused of "sexual harassment". 🙄.
I genuinely, absolutely can’t believe Pixar told arguably the greatest romance story ever, and it was between two robots.
Same!
With barely any dialogue.
While also being an original dystopia.
@@StoryMing and being a lesson about pollution at the same time
Not just two robots, but a trashcan and an oversized earbud.
I think the captain refers to earth as “home” as in its the home of our species and where we ultimately belong. Their voyage on the ship wasn’t (originally) meant to last forever so despite whole generations living and dying on the ship it’s more like a *really* drawn out quarantine than anything else.
Yikes. Two years of quarantine was unpleasant. Seven hundred years would be an absolute nightmare.
"I don't want to survive I want to live" 27:32
God damn masterpiece.
Quote throughout life. Always a benchmark to think when choosing ways.
Of all the WALL-E, our WALL-E is the only one who had a glitch in his system that led him to have a personality. He is made to help others and not hurt them. Notice that he didn't use his laser against Auto but used his laser to help EVE inside the ward.
🥺🥺🥺
Actually, it is all about living vs surviving. The Other Wall-Es were just like the people, Auto, and the other robots. Sticking to their "directive", working till they eventually died. Thats how our Wall-E Lived by doing other things than his directive. When the answer to survive was to not always follow the easy directive route.
Robot: *Has been completely alone for over probably over 750 years (who knows when the other robots finally all died, and could they be social to begin with, wall-e may have had a software glitch that made him a real living thing) except for a cockroach*
Sophie: *Expects him to have social skills and understand boundaries*
What boundaries there is for a robots?
thank you, so many reactors say the same things. I'm like, but their like robots that don't have the same boundaries as humans, and don't even know the word boundaries, they are both completely free, peaceful, and understanding.
Girl, auto is not a bad AI, he's actually a very good AI, he's following his command, if there were able to turn his command off, he'll probably immediately go to help
yes.
That being said it has Hal 9000 vibes from Space Odyssey.
Ironically, following his command is what makes him a villain. Every other robot in the film has developed a personality and motives that extend beyond their directive, and have basically become living things in their own right - more human than human, to quote Blade Runner. AUTO on the other hand rigidly follows his programming and thus has not developed any semblance of humanity, making him the embodiment of the apathy and detachment that created the problem in the first place
@@christianwise637 Blindly following commands has the potential to turn anyone into a villain, I think.
@@christianwise637 Not to mention, the command was given by the very people responsible for all of this. They created a problem, couldn't figure out a good solution, and proceeded to stop anyone else from trying to fix it in the future.
true but like the title says she was watching it for the first time so she didnt knew
This movie is absolutely incredible. I love how Wall-e is so expressive and relatable without saying a word. This movie made a love story between two mostly silent machines, not only work but soar. Wall-e and Eve have more chemistry than most of the couples in romance films. That's insane to think about. And of course, the environmental message is more relevant now than ever before. I'm surprised a corporation like Disney allowed Pixar to make it.
Same! This movie was the reason I started loving technology and science in general, in the first place!
Most of the “sounds” Wall-e makes are actually words, which are easier to notice with subtitles
with barely any dialogue that’s very impressive
I think Wall-E was the last movie Pixar made before Disney bought them.
Wall-E doesn't understand the concepts of personal space. For one he's only been around himself, a cockroach, and a copy of Hello Dolly for who knows how long. To us, yes it would be considered creepy. But, if you haven't been around another sentient being for hundreds of years how would you react? The best example I guess I could give is with Disney's Tarzan when Tarzan meets Jane for the first. He'd never seen another human being since he was an infant and Jane and her father both recognize that he had no understanding of personal space. It had never been taught to him because there was nobody there to teach it to him. Same thing with Wall-E if there is nothing or nobody there to teach boundaries to him, how would he know about it?
And he's a ROBOT. Tarzan was human. You can't expect WALL-E to know what human personal boundaries are. And if we are going to personify them, Maybe EVE has different boundaries or no boundaries at all. Why project our own?
@@zedwpd Way back when I was in college, I took an anthropology course. Our professor told of his time in the field having to study other cultures -- not some tribe in the south Pacific, but just Hopi Indians, Mexicans and others living their daily lives. He said the hardest thing to get used to was the lack of concept of personal space most societies have -- strangers standing almost against him, talking right into his face from inches away. Americans like a LOT of personal space.
Sophie: "To be honest, this is stalker behavior."
Very next scene: "Oh, that's so cute!" 😀
Repeat a couple dozen times😂
What Wall-E was doing was not harassment. It was the equivalent of attempting CPR on an unconscious person. She apparently stopped functioning, he was trying to help bring her back.
-okay, so yes, he WAS a bit stalkerish- though in a non-threatening way- and granted, maybe it did get a little odd when he starts toting her around everywhere on a string of Christmas lights, and true, some of his efforts to help may have been more well-intentioned than particularly well thought-out; but still, he was trying the best he knew to _take care of_ her, not _take advantage of_ her.
like staying beside a coma patient . I didnt find it that stalker-ish. the hand holding was obsessive, that i agree.
@@deepprakash4841
Nah, it was more the puppy-dog way he was following her around everywhere before she shut down, building a portrait-sculpture to try and impress her, etc. Again though, the significant difference is there was never anything entitled about it, no sense that he might turn nasty if rejected.
I don’t really see it as “insta love” in that scene of the humans touching hands tbh, more like a way to show how they’ve even forgotten human connection and attraction and wall-e and eve managed to bring people together again too
12:07 I love how the "ba-dum-tshh" synced perfectly with Wall E falling onto the floor
It's always fun seeing someone react to "Wall-E" for the first time. This is my second-favorite animated movie, just slightly edged out by "Megamind," which is my favorite right now. It's such a cute premise, and the only love story I can think of featuring robots that weren't built to emulate humans. I appreciate the originality of it.
Since you liked the intro song, just noting that it's from the musical "Hello Dolly", specifically the 1969 film version starring Barbara Streisand. It's honestly a pretty good musical, and I'm very picky about what I tolerate in terms of musicals (grow up with a mom who's a music teacher, and you see them allllll)
i love hello dolly
🤖👍 The musical that Wall-E is obsessed with is "Hello Dolly" which was the 1969 movie adaptation of the 1964 Broadway stage production. If you're into musicals, it's quite watchable in it's own right. Interesting trivia: Disney did not own the rights to "Hello Dolly" when this film was made, but they do now. A couple of years ago, Disney purchased 20th Century Fox and now owns the company's entire back catalog. Any time a reactor watches this film, I always recommend that they also check out the CGI animated "9" (2009), which deals with similar subject matter, but in a more serious way. 🐱 Incidentally, I nearly got hypnotized watching your cat shifting positions throughout this upload. 😉
Little fun fact about the song in the credits:
That was actually supposed to be performed at the Oscars, but when Peter found out it wasn't going to be the full song, he turned it down.
i think that this movie is well thought out , like if people lived in space for such a long time they woudnt have access to the nutrients and vitamin D provided by the sun so they would eventually suffer bone loss cuz all they would be eating in space is carbohydrates and fats
That might be true but the ship clearly has some sort of artificial gravity, the Intended point was that the humans of the axiom have been infantilized by convenience; they're literally giant babies until walle wakes a few of them up and the captain takes his first steps.
"Why does that robot look like my high school librarian?"
😆
"It even acts like my high school librarian!"
🤣😂🤣
Great reaction, Sophie! So glad you enjoyed this movie.
It's important to keep in mind that Auto only has one eye. That means he would have a lot of difficulty perceiving depth. It would have been hard for him to distinguish the real Captain McCrae from his photo, or to tell that the captain was posing with a projection rather than holding the real plant. It was actually very clever of McCrea to take advantage of this weakness of Auto's.
5:42 the original Apple computer startup sound effect
This movie is all about living vs surviving. The Other Wall-Es were just like the people, Auto, and the other robots. Sticking to their "directive", working till they eventually died. Thats how our Wall-E Lived by doing other things than his directive. When the answer to survive was to not always follow the easy directive route. You notice how the other "defective" robots are like Wall-E. But they were forced to stick to their directive. Thats why they took Wall-E straight to the "cop bots" so they don't die. Another thing is at the end of the movie, as the people and robots worked together and passed the plant to Eve, its foreshadowing the answer to saving Earth. Which is actually shown in the end credits, how they were able to live on Earth again. Robots and people working together, planting more plants. Plus they still had the axioms to help until they can move out to Earth again. Love the many messages in this movie, but "Living vs Surviving" and "directive" and "The future of Earth if we keep on littering" really hits.
Mostly due to a glitch In his programming whereas unlike his brothers who simply worked themselves to death, by simply falling apart, wall-e as shown was use to cannibalizing others in order to repair and maintain himself, all the while the others simply fell into disrepair and eventually died off since they were originally meant to be cheap mindless drones built to clean rubbish, but again considering the amount of time that passed would have allowed Wall-e’s already complex programming to advance more so than the others, again both time and the elements as well as wear and tear slowly killed then off
There's a theological construct that no one is born with a soul, that we earn it through suffering and experience.
WALL-E is in the wall-e really cracked me up)😂😂😂
good. I think you’re the only one tho 😂😂
Why do no reactors watch or mention the end credits? They are the true happy ending.
Simething curious: The animators had problems at first to animate a movie which the protagonist doesn't talk, so the directos made them watch mute french cinema to get help with the expressions. That's why all the robots, especially WALL-E and EVA are so expressive.
To be fair, Wall-E has been alone with a cockroach as a friend for god knows how long.
Canonically Over 695 years (maximum probably), with the roach being a recent friend he made obviously
A lot of people don't realize that Wally was a humanity in this movie. As he comes across and touches other characters it awakens theirs.
True, everyone who he interacted with got off their "programmed" usual paths and gave them freedom
Great reaction to WALL-E, but please go easy on him next time. He’s been alone for sometime and he isn’t sure how to connect with others, especially Eve. He can’t help it if he is sometimes clumsy and he isn’t a creepy stalker, he’s only a kid. (Maybe a kid bot)
I’m surprised that for someone who hates bugs, you were really worried/concerned about the cockroach 😂
I remember watching this movie at the cinema with my whole family when it came out 🥰 and it's still one of my faves 😍
4:38 WALLE has been cleaning the earth for 700 years
I've been watching your reactions AND reactions to this movie, and then lo ans behold, you do it. As a wildlife manager, I adore the environmentalist message, and how too much convenience us just... well, boring. You said it. That's just existing. Hehe, I was waiting for the moment you realized the captain would say something similar later on 😂
I'm not a huge fan of the 'love at first sight' trope, but for this movie, it works so well. Wall-E spent literally 700 years alone, so you can understand why he does what he does. As for humans, well, it's clear that they never had any physical contact, so it's only natural to feel such strong connection when you experience it for the first time.
HELL YEAH!!! WALL-E IS SUCH A MASTERPIECE :DDDDDDD
I'm not surprised that no one on the ship is suspicious of Wall-E. I mean, there are like 100000 robots on the Axiom so you probably meet a new one you have never seen before every day.
It's like living in a big city and just seing a new person on the street.
12:05 that's actually made me laugh🤣
One lesson I learned from this is that there's a huge difference between convenience, and just pure laziness.
12:03 AH WHY DO I LOVE DAD JOKES 😭
I love how everyone is like "oh no, the Axiom is the worst reality" but I'm like... I get to be in a floaty chair and just get fat? Sign me uppppp 😂
Hands down my favorite animated film. It’s beautiful in every way. ❤

WALL-E (and other male robots including M-O) is voiced by the sound designer Ben Burtt (yes, THE sound designer of Star Wars and Indiana Jones, the guy who made R2-D2's voice, the blaster bolts, Darth Vader's breathing, the light sabers, etc.).
6:52 "whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!" - Well, hello there M-0! 🙂 As for WALL-E and his behaviour, I think he could be cut some slack on the grounds that he was likely alone for hundreds of years after developing sentience & had never met another being (beyond Roach).
Do you wanna know what I like about Auto is the fact he’s just trying to do his mission which is exactly what Eve was doing
**sees reaction** ....umm, you alright? Going thru hard times? What's with all.... negativity?
I know right?
I was surprised that English is not your first language, you're perfect at it.
aww that’s very nice of you, thanks
@@SophieLents Seriously, I can barely feel a hint of a foreign accent in your speech, I thought you're Dutch, Nordic or maybe German since their English is usually this good, but then I checked your Insta and saw that you're Russian and I'm more amazed.
"Obviously I loved it."
No, I actually had a hard time determining if you actually liked it, or if you were going to go total Karen on WALL-E for his "harassment" of Eve. 😆
Concur. This is harassment, this is stalking, this is crossing so many boundaries... How do you know what Eve's boundaries are? Can you project victimhood onto two intimate objects in an animated movie?
Me too!
And at 26:02, calling Wall-E pathetic and coocoo in the head for just being in love, lol.
I think this girl needs some joy in her life
Guys she precises during the video she is joking
"...this is stalker behavior..."
"...aw, this is so cute...I hope they get together..."
"...that's harassment, actual harassment..."
"...bit of a stalker but it's still heartbreaking..."
Change your mind much? WTF is wrong with you?
I know right?
And from 23:38 she is actually questioning the cutest robot romance ever, lol
He was trying to revive her thinking her power died or something.
"Thats harrassment actually"
24x7 victimhood complex 😂 there is no winning with these kinds
Girl, this is my favourite movie of all times, I love you so much for reacting to this, thank you💜💜💜
💛
I love Wall-e!!! I saw it at the movies when I was seven. So much nostalgia and Wall-e is so cute!!! 😍🤩😍🤩 Thanks for reacting Sophie.
Thanks for watching
Be sure and watch the end credits; they're an integral part of the story!
Wall-E was peak Pixar in my childhood
to be fair to wall-e he was alone for 700 years, of course he's gonna be weird when a cute lady robot shows up outa the sky
Sophie: Aw, they’re so cute, I really hope they get together!
Also Sophie whenever Wall-E makes a move: *My man, that’s obsession.*
13:47 For all men: If you ever find a woman passed out and unconscious, ignore her and avoid giving her first aid, because only touching her while "sleeping" would mean sexual harassment.
I grew up with Pixar, but this film is one of my all-time favorites. This was one of the first Pixar films I got to go see in theaters, but as always I would later rewatch in the Latin Spanish dub. It’s definitely one of the better love stories of all time.
Here's the thing: Auto is not a villain in the traditional sense. He's just following his directive, which is don't go back to earth under any circumstance.
2 movies I recommend watching in the future are Lightyear and Speed Racer
I’ve been out for like five/six hours and for the last hour and a half I just really wanted to get home so I could continue watching this reaction lmfao
The reason Put on Your Sunday Clothes and It Takes A Moment from Hello, Dolly! are in the film was A. Director Andrew Stanton is a fan of the movie (he played Barnaby Tucker in a high school play of Hello Dolly). B. He originally was going have french swing music at the start but he then saw The Triplets of Bellville (which also had little dialouge) so he changed it so he wouldn't think he ripped it off.
The reason for the live action filming is because of the use of the clips from Hello Dolly, and to make a bigger impact that humans turned to "big babies". Originally the himans would have devolved into gelatinous creatures called Gels but that was deemed to weird and unrelatable, redesigning them into the fat humans.
I feel like Wall-E's behavior could be creepy, but there is just not an ounce of ulterior motive behind it. There is just nothing going on in that little circuit board other than working with trash and being in love.
Something I've never noticed before - when hit by lightning, Wall-E batter goes from nearly 0 to 100 xDD
21:34 No they're not! They're HAPPY because he set them free!
"Convenience is the theme!" Yes but each "convenient" event was a direct result of Wall-e intervening with something/someone.
I’m happy to let you know that love at first sight is real and can happen. Happened to me!
I really like this movie, it’s so cute and also very important.
I think all world leaders etc. should see it.
Thanks for a great reaction!
Oh yay you did Walle 😄😄😄 I love everything about this movie from the characters to Walle and eve’s relationship which is so adorable 🥰🥰🥰 to the importance on why we need to take care of our planet and ourselves and I thought this movie did a great way of portraying that. Also love the music choices for this as well the perfectly capture everything about walle’s personality 😊 I was concerned that Walle didn’t remember for while but he was back to himself when he and Eve touched hands which was so romantic ❤️❤️❤️thanks for the reaction to this treasured movie Sophie and can’t wait what you do next 😁😉😉😉
If you're a bit sadistic, and want a good laugh. I recommend you to give a shot to the short that accompanied the DVD edition, BURN-E.
PS : a reaction would be nice. But I don't know if there's enough matter in a short to do so.
I feel like for you to fully understand the movie you should know these things: 1. Wall-e wasn’t from the space station, he was created back when they were at earth 2. Wall-e didn’t know that Eve was unconscious 3. The reason they were real people was to show how different it has gotten since they left earth, I know it was mostly a joke but I’m just trying to help you understand the movie better😂
27:18 So basically, in this girls head, HOME is necessarily the place someone's born. I can't handle the fact that if these humans are born out of Earth they don't belong to it.
Axiom wasn't mean to stay there forever, it was supposed to be temporary till they have all solved, so it's totally comprehensive why the captain wants to go back so badly. As far as I know, the human being was meant to be on Earth, it's our natural HOME even if we start giving birth on Mars.
She just made up a new discrimination now; it's Axiomism.
5:28 - You are not the only one. It’s the same with me, especially if you suddenly fall asleep, and wake up when it’s already less light on the street and you don’t know what time it is, then you’re just annoyed trying to understand whether it’s morning or evening)
13:38 He's a Doctor, ma'am. He has studied anatomy and is a Frankenstein.
Wall E managed to adapt to the situation that's hy he survived
5:38 You just said what I said right now to my friend 😂
Here's a fun fact on the topic of "love at first sight" only happening in movies: my grandmother met my grandfather and in less than a fortnight, they were married.
I bet their relationship was fantastic then, especially since she wouldn’t be allowed to divorce him after that. I bet you think relationships in the past when men got to buy women as slaves or otherwise the women would starve to death were romantic as well.
when the captain says "it's our home" he refers to humans, he and all of them were not born on earth but their ancestors were, so he calls it home
Sophies accent always so enjoyable. :)
Especially when she says "robots"~
19:45 The reason for that is so the old movie “Hello Dolly” won’t seem out of place.
Best birthday gift ever!! thank you so much ❤❤❤
In the Persian dub of this movie, due to ridicules laws of the Islamic regime, they dubbed EVE as a man nad changed her name to E-VAN (Persian pronunciation of Ivan), accidentally turning this movie into a gay romance.
Looks like iran shot itself on the foot right there.
@@arthurlofrano7021 The Islamic regime shoots itself in the foot all day.
In the end when we see all the sprouting plants, I do believe that if the earth had 700 years without humans and the constant damage they bring, plants would be resilient and thrive. They're pictures of ghost towns overrun with flora, after a couple of years; them plants can survive
I fell in love at first sight ONCE, it was my first love. She cheated on me so…I guess it wasn’t mutual 😂
What was your first language? Just curious
Russian
a masterpiece 😭
Hi Sophie first love your eye makeup 🧡🧡 And really enjoy your reaction to Walle. Your are the best !!!❤
The best animated movie of all time :)
11:00 I separate trash from trash and put some trash here as opposed to the trash outside, this is beautiful trash. I'm having a trash, call a trashbulance.
Fun fact: in the garbage scene it was Wall-E who was supposed to save Eeve but they decided to switch the roles
As a child I really enjoyed the cutesy slapstick and comedy, but a lot of the film's messages just flew over my head. Now though, I can appreciate this film on so many levels, from its ability to craft a beautiful and heartfelt love story with absolutely no dialogue, to the heavy messages regarding consumerism, environmentalism and apathy towards the big problems, to the gorgeous animation and beautiful score. I really love WALL-E, it's legitimately one of Pixar's best films, and honestly one of the best animated films ever made
I once had a love at first sight experience. But I threw it away. I did not believe in it! I later had a friend. We spend a year doing a few things together then we got married. It was a disaster. The woman was so jealous; I never knew what would set her off. I will wonder what would have happened with that girl I didn't believe in.
Disney showing us what will happen if it keeps buying every company it sees ahead
Someone hold me I can’t watch this without crying
Possibly my favourite film from Pixar
“How the hell can plants survive in this environment?”
Life, ah- ah- finds a way.
3:10 "I hope we never get to this point" Exactly
keep in mind that = wall-e has the mentality of a 5 year old. harassment, bad intentions, delusions... are behaviors that are unknown (PIXAR #a113). it's just the representation of an innocent child who falls in love for the first time. like all the characters in this film, our concept of emotional connection does not apply... in our current society, we are all in a shell that prevents us from having this kind of innocence, because we have been educated to to fear.
I have no idea how people can see this and think the way you did lol I think it says more about you and where your mind is at 🤣 13:56
I love Wall E i grew up watching it and years later its still a master piece in my opinion
I have to agree yes it may seem that Wall E was a stalker but you gotta remember my mans been alone for hundreds of years so ofcouse he'd wanna get to know the new robot
But i still dont care hes absolutely adorable and this is the greatest romance that has barely any dialogue
It.was way ahead of its time ❤
Wall-e was probably the only 1 of his kind on Earth, because he probably knew he needs to keep his panel clean and that's why he made a building for him to live, because as Rovers/composer robots, Rovers need sunlight and if he saw all his other friends die from sand storms and he is the last robot on Earth, he knew he has to live to get the job done, otherwise the humans would never come home🙂
The movie is not promoting instant love as much as its making a commentary on how isolated people are. Wall-e was meant to operate 5 years, and he may have gone centuries, far beyond his designed time to live, without seeing anyone else. Except a cockroach. Even in the first years the only beings he saw looked just like him. Noe Eve arrives, the first new person in hundreds of years. Its reasonable he might be infatuated and clingy.
And the two people, well, they might have not touched another person in their lives, so that first touch of another would be strange and mysterious, but humans are wired to be social, so they are liable to find it pleasant rather than an attack.
And the BnL guy keeps referencing "home" because that message was recorded when they thought the ship would be back in 5 years, well within the mrmory of nearly everyone aboard except children born on board. When he recorded that, there was no expectation Axiom's Captain would be viewing it 7 centuries later.
5:04 Each one of those compartments like the ones Wall-E sleeps in, where he stores his collection of stuff, held another Wall-E unit in that batch, that's how many, on just thst ship, he has outlasted. And there might be dozens or thousands such ships worldwide, each with a few dozen units on board.
Of course, the Axiom is totally impossible, its impossible for the ship to have that much material on board it to dump that much trash regularly for 700 years. Or even 5 years. Its not that big when you account for the big corridors and giant open spaces like the "lido deck" around the pool.
"WALL-E is in the wally ".😂😂😂
On your note about consumerism, I just wanted to say how salient you where. Specifically due to the fact that if your able to notice/pick up the smaller cues it’s incredibly blatant and sad how Buy and Large, the company advertised everywhere throughout the movie, seems to be the only branding throughout the film, implying that consumerism was to great in the futuristic (and relatively realistic) world that it wasn’t just pollution that destroyed the earth, but multi-national monopoly.
(Cough, Amazon, cough!) 😂
