Notice how the BNL superstore is the cleanest, least dusty area. It's almost like the robots were told to take extra care of that. So that when humans came back, BNL would be even more appealing

For example, the bidding wars can go out of control or the goverment is just that incompetent - yeah, even when there's still space left for the trash, you may let the world end thanks to trash. It's definetly possible.

I would love a prequel showing Wall-E's creation and how he is the only robot to manage to survive for so long.
He cannibalises other Wall-Es for parts.
If you've ever played the PC game, I think that, and a scene in the early movie is an indicator. Basically Wall-E runs back as quick as possible to the truck where they are based before the others whenever a storm pops up. I think it may also have to deal with him having a kind of conscious, figuring out the most direct routes back, then one by one the other Wall-E units deteriorate and shut down, and yes, he also does break down the other units for spare eyes and treads, which is also seen in the movie. That's just my theory anyway. Wall-E is my favorite Pixar movie, so I've put a little thought into it.
@@kevindelbridge163 but that's just a theory A FIL-

Nah nah wall-E is the final movie I the time-line but if it isn't BNL is gonna go H A R D on humanity
But bro imagine watching 2 hours of other innocent robots getting knocked off until only one lives
Correction: going from glass bottles to plastic and thinner plastic equaling less waste is only true if the bottles weren't reused and recycled.
Glass bottles can be reused dozens of times before they become waste (and glass waste can be recycled into new bottles with ease), the thick plastic bottles can still be reused about a dozen times before they become waste (and they too get recycled into new bottles but that needs more added new material), on the other hand the thin pet bottles become waste after a single use and can't be recycled into new pet bottles (into other things though).
Atm glass bottles are still the greenest alternatives to package drinks, after just drinking tap water (where possible) and tightly followed by the thick plastic bottles (if they stay in the bottle cycle).
"Can be" and "are" are different stories
@@nexusinc.4367 yes!!!
You’re insane if you think people are sifting through mixed recyclables and picking out glass bottles and thicker plastic bottles and going “these will do just fine!” Only the drink manufacturers can do that, and they won’t because they’re typically not local mom and pop stores and it’ll take more money/plastic to safely ship bottles and to industrially clean them than to make a new bottle.
The only realistic version of what you’re saying, is if the drinks companies ship to restaurants in a single container and the company itself uses glass containers for the customers, in which case yes the glass can be reused almost indefinitely.
@@kevintse2870 actually, people do do that. And soft drink (soda) manufacturers definitely reuse glass bottles.
There is a reason people collect old glass bottles and still use mason jars, i know people using jars that are close to 100 years old because they inherited that and the tradition. And not only old people but some younger.

the best part is this is basically IRL how things go. We the people get blamed for the world being on fire, told to "go green" - "every little helps" blah blah blah. But corps are ALWAYS the ones really damaging the planet.
In Nier Automata, Robots keeps doing their jobs even if it's pointless. So even if the people in the Axiom ran out of money, these robots don't care. It's the point of their existence.
uwu
When labor does itself willingly without demanding compensation, how are humans supposed to fulfill their mindless busywork quota?
Great game
remember machine are just too smart for plan strategy teaching learning survive anything possible
Not to mention that keeping the people complacent was probably a part of Auto's interpretation of his final order. In order to ensure that they never return to Earth, the humans must be distracted at all times. This is why the "advertisements" play despite anyone working or making money: it's to keep their minds preoccupied with frivilous activities instead of asking questions about Earth which, as we see with the captain, is something that the computer is capable of and willing to answer. It's no longer about making money, it's about following orders in the most effective way possible.

Additional theory: BnL got so big that they developed AI technology to run the company, eventually getting smart enough to create this plan to rid the planet of people, convincing the executives of the company it was just a move for profits as MatPat said. Humans never fully reclaimed earth and the tech evolved into the Cars characters. (Yes this is just a minor extension of the Pixar theory)
Maybe the bugs fused with the cars! Now the bugs-to-cars theory makes MORE sense!

MatPat: “The message is clear”
The message: “WE DIDN’T LISTEN”
We never listen
The message is we should start a giant company and ruin the planet, cause capitalism is good for the environment but not good for capitalism
the message: we are still under attack!
And the person they didn't listen to was Walt Disney. He made anti-littering cartoons (Donald Duck in *The Litterbug* in 1961) and films where big business's effect on the environment is one of the themes (1967's *The Gnome-Mobile,* one of the last films he ever made).
Well that’s interesting and all but I have a few questions. This theory definitely makes a lot of sense but do to a ship that’s been sailing in space for hundreds of years, would money still even be relevant? And if so how do we know that people still even have money to give up on that ship? Granted the business that trashed the world is definitely plausible, especially for money, but how would they keep this up when people run out of money? Wouldn’t that doom humanity on the ship? Regardless, I love the videos, just had a few questions about this one. I’m kinda curious.
BnL probably doesn't exist anymore by the time of Wall-E, only their propoganda and robots remain, keeping humankind under their posthumous control.
It's no longer about money. They were already the only corporation. Now they are the undisputed leaders. Every facet of the, admittedly comfortable, lives of the public is now under their complete control. BNL's aesthetics, rules, AUTO programming, and entertainment reign supreme. Even without formal leaders, aside from the captains, the ships are a huge vanity project, BNL is viewed as a god like savior of mankind (and much like The Machine Stops, a story from over a hundred years ago with a vaguely similar plot, albeit less optimistic, I wouldn't be surprised if worship of the corporation eventually became mandated). This is the Bezos and Musk wet dream, that they would happily give up every cent of their fortunes to achieve.
@@PoseurGoth I doubt BNL as a group of people exists anymore. I think that by the time Wall-E's events happen, BNL is run by a network of AUTOs.
@@HOLDENPOPE It doesn't, but as a legacy it is insanely powerful. Culture, for all intents and purposes, is in an eternal stasis. This corporation had steered the course of humanity forever (until they returned to Earth). The executives will go down in history as humanity's saviors. I think that is a far more compelling motive than profit.
@@PoseurGoth I agree.
Mattpat is really great at what he does-- honestly. He could probably convince me that the sky is purple if he tried.
But hey. It's just a theory, a sky theory
The sky refracts light in a rainbow prism which the bounces around in until it builds up a good amount of energy and hits our eyes. The overload of energy overwhelms our eye capacitors so to see the blind bright skies, our eyes just choose a soothing color. Without our eyes assuming a color, the sky would be rainbow having purple in it.

Depends. Sometimes he’s just an ignorant fool
matt patt also forgot to mention that BnL burned trash to remove the overflow problem, resulting in the atmosphere getting poisoned even faster than the naturally occurring methane would.
*Lord Daret* Yeah, for Someone who said "They Dug through all the details", Film Theory missed the One Piece of Detail in the DvD scenes, where that part was mentioned.
Except that burning trash has less of a negative Impact, because landfills also produce CO2 and the additional methane is a 30 times more effective Greenhouse Gas than CO2. Not to speak of the Problems with seepage of toxic waste materials into the ground and watersupply.
*Rumplelumpa Snickerdoodles* The burning Trash would have the Same results, as it Would have just sped up the process. Burning it meant Acid rain from stuff like Litium Ion Batteries. Not once did BnL recycle, they just burned indiscriminately.

I knew ever since I was little that BNL was the main villain. Captain Auto was programmed to not let the humans go home, which means BNL never truly had any intentions of reversing earth's damage. That's why Wall-E was the only trash robot left and why Eve was the only assessment robot to be deployed. They never actually expected there to be a change
The BnL CEO actually initiated the A113 Directive in Auto several years or even decades after people were initially meant to return to Earth, WALL-E was just the only bot still working because they were meant to finish cleaning after 5 years but the movie takes place 700 years after they were supposed to be done (many modern cars don’t even last that long), and EVE was only one of several probes deployed to Earth, as several other models are seen in the ship with EVE, and it’s not unreasonable to assume there were other ships that were sent to Earth as well. I’m not saying you’re wrong or anything because it is very plausible that BnL never intended to take people back and everything else was simply a facade to trick people.
The captain specifically said that they've sent several probes, but Eve was the first one to come back with a plant
@@thefirstchairofficialchann867guess they sent only a few in hopes none ever find any plant. Anyway, who is charge of BNL now in Wall E’s time

I'm amazed at the fact you didn't mention the ship wheel's refusal to actually return home at all, almost as if the "leave earth until it's cleaned" was just a ploy to get more people into the ships.
And the fact that it was all kept to the descendant generations. That makes his theory even more believable, that all along it was a plan for the monopoly of humanity as a whole
this is their plan revealed as fiction...the fiction would be it is not rubbish but just some fear tactic that scares everyone into viewing the world as if it is covered is trash...just lie to scare us all and offer the ships and most will go...
it's for your safety and it's just for two week whilst we clean everything with robots.
total recal,
"do you have any fruit or vegetables ma'am?"
"TWo wEEKs"
No one is being left behind though, so that would mean that everyone's family is coming with them. Buy and large is giving everyone a FREE trip to space. I didn't see anyone in that ship that had a job except the captain. What's the point of making everyone captive, they wouldn't have money to buy anything on that ship. Everything is free.
I think that the robots are to blame. They wanted to get rid of humans and sent them to space maybe AI got smarter than humans.
Right I was thinking the same. They are on the ship for generations, so no money left to spent.
@@baggioverbert6249 well it was only supposed to be a short trip. My guess is not all of humanity made it to the ships (because you really did have to pay originally). BnL did plan on cleaning things up once they got a bunch of money from people, but the environmental impact of their plan was more than they bargained for. So they went into emergency mode and just told the ships to stay out. They were forced to save humanity off of Earth. BnL was gone by the time Wall-E starts, but the robots and ship were programmed to show and use BnL stuff from the beginning, so they just kept using it.
Could be important political figures, wealthy businessmen that ran BnL or had stocks in it and their families, Workers high enough on the totem pole. 600,000 people isn't everyone on the planet, at least I assume there wouldn't be that few of people given that the current population is about 7,794,798,739. While the Axiom might be one of many ships, there are division. Executive and regular "Tours". Let's say they had about.... 1,000 ships that all had the capacity for 600,000 people. That still leaves about 7,194,798,739 people on earth if the population of earth at this time is what it is now. That is a small fraction of people. No doubt this wasn't a free trip, at least not for the common person. I believe somewhere they mention "Thousands" of ships.... so They would have needed to make about....7,794,799 ships... But again, they mention "Thousands" not tens of thousands, not millions.... Suffice to say they still left a chunk of people behind because they probably did not have ships. But then again, we do not know of this Earth's population. For all we know it could have been on the brink of collapse making is easier to fit everyone on their ships.
They are not making money but everybody is getting their products

@@Lawsbepo I’m sorry I didn’t know it was South Park when I wrote this comment
I do have one minor disagreement with your theory. You say Buy and Large has a motive: to get money. But it is clearly shown that the humans can no longer do anything except, you know, sit around and get waited on. There would be no new money coming in, as none of the humans have jobs. The food and other things the humans get would have to be free. And they have to continuously spend money on maintenance of the robots that do everyone's jobs for them (Detroit much?). Yes, they may have charged an initial fee to get on the space ship, but that would be nothing compared to the cost of running a that thing. And for that matter, why would money matter in space? There is nothing for Buy and Large to buy anymore. They essentially own all there is to own, because all of humanity is on that spaceship. Am I crazy, or does anyone else agree?
Edit: You know that moment when you come back to a video three months later and have more likes and comments than you've ever gotten ever? And said comment was actually intelligent? Yeah... It feels good
TheVenator was coming to the comment section just to see if anyone else had caught all of this lol especially the part about them not being able to do anything with the money
I was thinking this throughout the whole video. Nothing about what BnL is doing in the theory *makes* money. Destroying a planet, and building interstellar ark ships that support every need and function to ridiculous excess, of completely passive and non-contributing humans AND every generation of their decendents for 700 years... that has to cost thousands (if not millions) of times more than the entire savings of that first generation of people. Plus, yeah, where the hell would they spend it?
So every human on earth just got on a ship to space for free? I doubt it. Maybe 700 years after the ship has been in flight things are free but, there had to at least be a boarding fee.
I understood it as, since everybody is just lazing on those ships, BnL would have a monopoly on the planet's resources. Although i still don't get why they would do this since even if you have all the resources in the world, what are you gonna use it for.
Also all the space junk which would be troublesome for bnl's ships proves this is humanity
I have been binge watching all these theory’s on Wall-E. How fricken deep is the lore???
There’s one looming problem with this theory, as matpat said, “Don’t trust everything at first glance”
since the people on the BnL ship apparently don’t do work, (they were never shown at any time of day to be doing anything else other than sleeping, talking, eating etc) the ship could not have any economic productivity, everyone in humanity is doing practically nothing, so, everyone is supported by the BnL ship.
Does this mean everyone on the ship is broke? or that BnL just has a really good Universal Basic Income? I don’t know.
but I do know this, for everyone to live, they need the necessities of life, but since they are not working for those necessities, there is no economy.
so to conclude this pointlessly long comment that nobody is gonna read, the ship can’t have any economy, because there is no working class.
Greed could not be a factor, because BnL destroyed the economy by making humanity useless at working.
Regards, Random guy on youtube.
Yeah I was thinking that the whole time I was watching. It makes no sense.
ikr I was like where do they get the money?
BnL thought the cleanup for their mess was only gonna be 5 years. Plenty of time to drain the passengers of all their money then drop them off back at home broke and penniless. They grossly underestimated the length of the cleanup program so now they're stuck caring for generations of people or out themselves as the bad guy.
That still doesn't make sense, even if they were the biggest company, would it not become apparent to the public that they were doing something wrong? Especially if their products were much more wasteful compared to other companies who could easily promote their superior go green product. I understand they have a lot of money but they still have to compete with Free Market. Also if people expected to be gone only 5 years then would it not become extremely suspicious that they were on their for waaaaaay over 5 years. Wouldn't people start demanding an answer?
If they don't need money then what's the point of sending everyone onto a ship? Why waste money making big space ships in the first place. What would be the motive?
How does BnL make money if the passengers on their cruise liners aren't doing any work?
Arushad Ahmed they don’t make money anymore, they own everything
I imagine they had a plan like that, but then everything backfired
Holdup if no one is paying for anything and BnL is just hoarding a bunch of money with no one who's making products to give that money to, isn't that just gonna make all that money worthless? So does BnL want control over humanity, or are they just stupid?
Also don't the people and by and large live on Earth they're willing to destroy their ownfor money which doesn't make any sense cuz they control everything so wouldn't all the high executive's just get what they want free what would they buy with their money they own everything
Exactly what I said above! In the rest of the comments section.
The problem is that the people on the ships out in space don't do any work. They don't have an income to spend on BnL products, which also brings up the question, if they don't have any jobs, why are they getting service and food and things like that? BnL must be getting something from them if it isn't money.
I agree. What’s the answer? How do these people have money to spend?
look up the carlinbrothers, they have the answer
We are so ingrained into the system that there's no other possible outcome. . . . .
Hmm yes
Basic universal income? But even that doesn't properly address the problem...

Okay, this makes WAY too much sense! And it actually fits with what we see in Wall-E with the efforts to suppress the evidence of Earth's restored habitability. After all, if a greedy corporation did all of this to ensure a monopoly, then doesn't it stand to reason that they'd set up a protocol in the ship's AI to try and maintain that monopoly in case there was ever evidence that the "need" for humanity to live in space aboard BnL's monopolistic cruisers had passed? This may be your best and most plausible theory so far! Good one!

But another thing that I think you forgot to mention is that BNL controls all humans so money doesn’t even matter because they would also control the currency and what exactly are they going to do with money
To control all the money
First you'll have to own all the money
Then you'll own all the products all the materials ALL OF THEM
And you could live a life of a king you are ( minus all the king's problem like war and stuffs since you're the only king, the supreme king of the human kind )
Imagine what mand kind could do if they all work together, no need to imagine since BnL had already covered that. With their humongous weath, they made robots to do their bidding
Now since they don't need to worry about money anymore cause there is no money anymore, they share their products with the people
After all a king need his people and a god need his followers
Not that they care
It because they need to feel supreme, it's human's nature
BUT HEY, IT IS JUST A THEORY, A STUPID THEORY
Also
BnL did not need to make robots that able to clean the trash for forever
All they need to is to convince people that they made such things
They sent robots to Earth to fulfill their promisses just to let people see that they was doing their job and but... as you might have seen
If the Earth is suitable for living once again, no one would know
And the directive A-113 programmed in A.U.T.O make much more sense and is even more evil because that means BnL thought about the "What if" Robot are still functionning and cleaned the planet or the planet become habitable again
Well wall-e is probably hundreds of years old. The entire planet is devoid of life, so he couldn't be brand new,
ThatWDude why do you think I compare it to INGSOC?
I still remember that terrifying detail of the nursery, the little babs are kinda looking around everywhere. But as soon as BnL is on the screen, the hover jumpers forcibly calibrate to the screen so they pay attention. Scary.

The only problem is that sending everyone into space is a horrible buildings model. I mean sure, the first generation will give every cent, but everyone born over the next 700 years? There doesn’t seem to be any form of currency on the Axiom, so it appears that BnL is just providing these people with food, water, and round-the-clock service without making any profit whatsoever. Fortunately, there’s an easy way to explain this that’s already well-established in the Pixarverse. Most people theorize that at a certain point, BnL was taken over behind the scenes by an AI that was originally programmed to help the company. This AI then set about taking over everything, but because of the parameters programmed into it, it couldn’t directly attack or kill off the humans. So instead, it found a loophole, forcing them into space with its awful business model that destroyed the earth, while still technically caring for the humans so as not to violate its programming. That’s why it still takes care of the humans centuries later, when no logical business or extinction strategy would justify that. And as a result, the AI has the entire Earth to use for its own ends.
There is no proof of that last part in the movie though. It's 100% speculation.
great Theory but the only problem is wouldn't the AI second main program be making Revenue for the company.......
And so the story of Nine begins. ;)
the cruise was only suppose to last 5 years... not 700
Nate TSO I’ve also heard another theory about how humans are used like a power source, In Monsters Inc they use the fear of children as a power source so why wouldn’t an AI do the same thing? Your theory about the AI not being able to hurt humans could work too but as shown in cars 2, in a world with no humans they are having a power crisis. Coincidence? Probably. Anyway I believe the humans are used as a power source for the AI thus letting it live on for ever
A question I have: What happened to the other Starliners? There were many of them built, so what were their fates?
1. They will never return to Earth because they don't have a Wall-e to screw up Auto's plans. 2. the people revolted on the other ships and maybe it fell to chaos. Also a possibility is that the people took control, went back to earth but died due to toxicity levels or decided to never come back. 3. they didn't manage to survive, maybe because of famine, illnesses, lack of energy, riots, meteors or other space dangers, maybe a solar eruption.
Evolve in another planer or die I guess
Probably still cruising through space.
But unlike the Axioma, they weren't sending exploration teams back to earth to find and recover plants.
A single shuttle had a lot of EVE droids, but somehow Wall-e only found one in 700 years... So either they where stretched too thin, or only the Axioma was making said missions and really far between them.

Don't you mean Alphabet, Inc?
"If humans had that much money to build robots and futuristic space ships". Why couldn't they build a rocket where they put all of Earth's trash on it, and then send it to space???
Becauase that wouldn't make money for BNL and would be extremely innefficient to collect all the waste and load it into such a rocket.
It could also be that the air is unbreathable
Additionally, there is a concern that, with the more people or machinery sent into space, the more space junk there is to deal with. Essentially, the concern is that humans can just as easily pollute the space around us with the advancement of space travel. Sending trash into space would risk seeing that trash again eventually. If something doesn't burn it somehow, just projecting it into space would likely only temporarily get rid of garbage. (Maybe, at least. I'm not an expert and would have to do more research)
Because as of 2019 it costs $11,000 to send 1lbs of something to space

That, and funko-pops.
Just... one thing. How is BnL still profiting off of the people in space? Nobody on the axium really does any labor that BnL can use (correct me if I’m wrong, it’s been a while since I’ve watched wall-e), and if BnL already has all of the wealth on the ship (or the whole planet) then what do they do with it, and why do they even still have the ship?
Andrew Korchowsky well, th ey probably got massive government funding, peoples' life savings, company investments to save the human race. They have tons of money and are just now waiting for the Earth to be clean. (I have no idea, just my guess...)
Though I would like to think these people are paying rent and when they run out of money they get kicked into space.. xD
ORRRR... it's not about money at all its about control of the world/people
xDarkTrinityx why would BnL try to eliminate any possible life on earth
I bet they bought a spot on the spaceships in order to ride
A version of the pixar theory theory says that after incredibles, ai became super intelligent, and rather than skyneting us, they decided to slowly enslave us matrix style. The "ceo" is just a fake guy, controlled by BnL.
I mean the ship wheel was manipulating and controlling the captain for a bit (and the captains before probably)

Obviously it would get boring as there is only one preset for each food(the perfect one as determined by the computer), it'll lack the mistakes and innovations created by actual humans.
But still there's a big question unsolved...
WHERE ARE THE KIDS AND TEENAGERS IN Wall-E?
Splatter Paint 707 well there are babies but u are right there are no 7-12 yr olds or teenagers in sight
Might be with the poor people
How do they make childs if they can’t get out of their chairs
They ate there kids first

I only have one problem with your theory: If the spaceships are almost fully automated and if people go there almost like they are on a vacation, then these people aren't working and therefore they themselves do not generate income, which they would need to spend for the spaceships and for the goods that BNL supplies. BNL would profit at the beginning of this scheme, like for a week or a month, maybe a year, depending on the people's individual wealth and the prices of the goods, but then, they would have milked all people from their cash and the whole scheme would crash, because people wouldn't have any money to spend and they wouldn't be able to get any money from anywhere in order to spend it. Then the whole endeavour becomes even more pointless, if you think about how BNL would have all of the money and not being able to do anything useful with it, because they are a monopoly and everyone is their "captive" and because everything is automated, remember, robots need fuel/batteries, not money, basically all of their profit would be worthless, because if only BNL has money and nobody else, then money is just BNL's pieces of paper. Why would anyone care if BNL has an endless shitton of small green pieces of paper that are basically useless for everybody. And even if the money isn't printed, then these numbers in the bank account are also meaningless, because, again, their bank account would be the only bank account. If you agree with this opinion, please upvote, so that more people would see it and know that the economics of this is unsustainable, unless there is a way for people on the ship to earn money and the basic cycle of economics to continue.
Then we can assume BnL's plan WAS one of two things here
1. Is that they did truthfully intend to clean it up. Make a problem for free, get people to pay you to get away from said problem, fix problem while people are gone for little to no cost (The self-sustaining Wall-E robots)
However, ph levels in the atmosphere rose too high for people to come back, and the Wall-E bots were too inefficient. The raised levels of ph in the atmosphere would also explain why the huge majority of Wall-E bots were broken down, as it would increase the rate at which they rust and erode. Especially in that acid rain and the insanely strong windstorms that would result from the increased temperatures, which would throw tons of garbage, debris, shrapnel, etc.. through the air.
2. Or that they simply wished to control people, they do own basically everything in the pixar universe after all, their plan from the start could have been world domination, and it's so much easier to control everyone when the world part isn't a factor anymore, and everyone is on your company space-boats.
Either way, due to a much longer flight than planned, and management being left to the robots, BnL's plan had gone awry and backfired.
Vasil Zahariev. That's what I was thinking
I'm pretty sure that BnL thought that the Earth was going to be cleaned up more quickly than it was. When they found out that it would take far longer than anticipated, the scheme was likely abandoned.
@Vasil Zahariev maybe it's a people's economy?
Literally had the same idea. Typed out a comment before I found your tho so yeah...
And the BnL transit entrance is also pretty Clean and the transit has less trash than the rest of the City, it's like the robots took care of it a lot so if humans returned to earth they would have some kind of safe area to settle down for operation recolonize...
So the solution to trash disposal is corporate greed, but wal-e's problem was caused by . . . corporate greed?
Extreme corprate greed
Which is why people need to wake up and not be complacent and attully pay attention to politics and events happening around them
Jakob Farmer the problem of wal-e is a company wanting to become a monopoly and the solution would be busting that
Congratulations you ran into the problem of corporate capitalism. Yes greed is good, but more greed is inevitable as the market entices companies to exploit the system for a profit. One of the greater benefits of capitalism is competition but competition isnt the goal. It's the side effect. The goal is to corner the market and establish complete control of product distribution to maintain high capital for themselves and investors irregardless of the effect of consumers. Extremely short sighted for short run high profits.

@Tyler Callahan no it's BNL (buy'n'Large) that's the culprit not Pixar
Don’t be too convinced by him. Because at the end of the day, Pixar most likely didn’t think each tiny detail completely through. They most likely just thought; oh what about people just threw the crap and it wasn’t cleaned and the biggest company made space vessels as an escape.
I’m sure they didn’t think... well.. this. Because it’s always going to be fictional, even how little logic it makes.
Tyler Callahan you should of said on the cannibalism episode
They created it for the cuteness and exploration of the scenario, not the science.
Didn't actually see wall-e until this year! It was good.
Matpat, I have been rewatching all of your Disney theories. But how do BnL starliners make money? Because all of the people there don't work so, wouldn't BnL lose money? As in the other Wall-e video said that they were on it for 700 years.
Little Miss Antisocial probably by selling tickets to space in the first place to rich ppl duh
The entire world literally paid bnl before leaving the planet, they are the biggest company in Pixar, so bnl probably has trillions reserved
I think BnL is just having ALL the money
@@scarysticker bnl is not a corporation, it is a world government. Much more similar to vault tec than walmart
It wasn't supposed to take 700 years, BnL thought the Wall-E robots could handle it all by the time they got back. The robots failed and BnL had the passengers stay there forever
One problem- What would be the point in the profit if all of humanity is no longer on earth?
they still have to pay people to work for their company
well basically that company has complete and total control over all of humanity
Ron Shlush Well surely there would be some federal pushback on someone having that kinda monopoly
Noobium Plays Those employees wouldnt be needed due to the robots
If you could control humanity in anyway, i'm pretty sure companies would jump the first chance they could. So not only are they a company now, they dictate how you live while living wealthy because everyone has to buy their products, no competition whatsoever.

YAY EXISTENTIALISM!!!!!!!1!1!!11!!!
Can’t wait till the next Disney/Pixar movie comes out and the plot is ruined.
Travis Elzinga me too
this theory could easily disprove the cannibalism theory, as if BNL knew they were going to be up there that long, they could’ve easily prepared the correct amount of food. the cannibalism theory has BNL doing this through means: the humans they recycled, motive: they did not have enough food at all, and opportunity: they had 700 years to make the human food, but with this new theory that takes out the motive for BNL. you could potentially replace this motive with the motive that it was cheaper to recycle humans, but you would need a whole other theory for this.
The true culprit... was corporate greed all along!

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALMART!!!
There's still something wrong.
In the spaceship, we can clearly see that the only human doing what mostly looks like a job is the captain, and even him barely does something. Everyone is just sitting in their chairs and consuming, they basically don't have to pay anything and don't get paid since they don't work. So that means the only money the company got from that project is what the government probably gave them so that they could build the spaceship and the entry ticket everyone had to pay to be onboard.
You could say that everyone probably had to pay a lot to have that ticket, but we have to remember that they were meant to only spend 5 years in space.
So clearly, the company wouldn't have got this much money from doing that
So how does BnL get money if none of the people on their cruise are working. They broke the economy so how can their goals be financially based...
If I rememeber right, in the movie they said that the passengers would be in space for like 5 years. My guess is that the first generation probably had to pay to be on the ships and later when they were supposed to come back to eath, the polution was much worse than expected, after all, in the movie is said that now humanity has to stay in space because of that.
basically BnL fuck up
The people who originally ran BnL are long dead....
If I have learned anything about big corporations, they tend to not think too far past a few years, or in some cases even a few months. Most would rather make more money in a few short months then a lot of money in the longer term. They probably thought the clean up was not going to take as long as it did. I mean, something for only 10 years of cleaning wouldn't tank the economy much after all.
Panvi The Pear I assume the original plan, as MattPatt suggests, was to make money getting people's life savings and income to pay for the five year vacation in space. But once the CEO's found out that the garbage was too much, they went from financial concern to pure survival, allowing the Axiom to be a permanent home for their passengers so they don't become furious with them and keep the passengers in a submissive state so they don't realize how badly BnL fucked up. Thus the people were kept occupied/distracted by the now "free" cool stuff the ship had to offer, while the CEOs just faded in the background. And of course, while the CEOs left to lick their wounds, they left the machines in charge to run everything, programmed to use their technology to distract them so they never want to leave.
