I always say this: if I were from the Academy, I would have started throwing little golden statues at the screen halfway through the movie. It's complete. Flawless.
If i had to summarise it, Wall-E is not perfect but it is a masterpiece. The only thing (And I mean the ONLY thing) is that the scenes on the spaceship during the latter half can get a bit tedious. Besides that? Flawless.
+Almighty OD5T Agreed. The final act of the movie (aside from the very end) is a significant dip in quality of storytelling, but a dip from perfection is still incredibly good. The first hour, though, is among the greatest in film history, and the movie deserves all the praise I can give it for that alone.
@@somesillyname9714 Yeah, the humans ruined their portion of this movie as much as their own planet. This overview ganked them and in effect made it as overwhelming as eating condensed soup straight from the can, only instead of barfing chicken noodle, my eyes and nose are making me dehydrated. I adore this movie and wish I could just nix the humans.
@@somesillyname9714 Strange. Maybe I'm thinking of something else however I adored the scenes in the Axiom. The vast, endless starship totally amazed me as a child and every now and then I rewatch it just to feed my imagination with all of the things that could've happened before Wall-E's arrival.
Funny thing, after asking them, I found that my entire family basically *hates Wall-E.* I've been trying to defend it for years. Something about the sounds and visuals really holds it as a classic amongst Pixar's generally amazing catalogue.
This film portrays some of the most human emotions with the least amount of dialogue I have ever seen. I defy anyone to create a more adorable and relatable relationship between two characters who say fewer words to each other
Yes. Wall-e is my absolute favorite. I remember how back when I was about seven or so, I wanted the movie to come out on DVD so badly that when it actually came out my mom rented it on day one (They mailed the disc to us because redbox didn't exist yet) and I rode my bike all the way down to the box and fell off hitting my knees but I was so excited I didn't care.
Heather Ciconia This film was my first ever cinemgoing experience! I still remember how excited I was in the days leading up to the release date. This is a freakin classic
Just to remind everyone, this is one of the few animated movies Cinematographer Roger Deakins (Blade Runner 2049, The Shawshank Redemption, No Country for Old Men, Skyfall, etc) worked on. This, How to Train Your Dragon, and Rango are by far the most visually stunning animated movies up to date, and I would like to credit him for them. There are a lot of masterful shots in these 3 films, and there's no doubt he influenced the animators for doing them.
I will always remember when I first saw Wall-e, and I found myself in a puddle of tears. I was COMPLETELY caught off guard! To this day, I still cry whenever I watch it. It's just beautiful, and Wall-e is too damn adorable.
I think wall-e is not just a movie. its a story that can continue forever with out getting boring. I watched wall-e for the first time around 9 or 8 yrs ago a bit after it came out and I enjoyed it.... as a kid. Now after a decade a am a more mature person, and I just don't know why, but I told myself that I should watch it again, since its been a long time an I was amazed ho much you can see in the movie trough the years . till like 2 months ago I didn't know it was a love story .... I DIDNT KNOW IT. now after watching it again and again and again I feel like thats not just a love story but a story about the two robots that live a life, they have never dreamed of.
I've watched the movie many times, in the animation in the background behind the and credits, it shows the people recovering and the earth becoming lush and green as it was long ago, it shows them getting thinner, the forests regrowing, cleaning the environment, and even a boy fishing. In the very end it shows Wall-e and Eve in this lush future, still together.
I'm honestly baffled that anyone could hate this film. I've not met one person yet that has, but I honestly want to meet someone that does just so I can ask WHAT they hate about it, because I just have this feeling the majority are just people that hate something just because so many people love it.
Absolutely a masterpiece! Another note on that bit about his eyes at the end - throughout the movie, WALL-E's eyes have an internal light source. One of the animators has a TED Talk about how at first he seemed too glassy-eyed and vacant until they put that light source in. But in this scene? They remove the light source. He's just, blank. And it's chilling even if you don't understand WHY.
And the desperate way EVE says his name while shaking him. Gets me every time. Then the way she sighs it with relief when he "comes back" is just . . . I have no words.
Have seen Wall-E for the first time, 3 weeks ago or so. LOVED IT. Especially the first act. The part with the humans not so much. The character they give these robots is unbelievable.
I think that's the point there- the humans have become more like robots through an advertising bombardment and no exercise than the actual robots we grow to love.

Wall-e is my favorite movie, and has been my favorite for years. I’m obsessed w/ Disney/Pixar and I’m a kid at heart (I’m fifteen) so it’s really hard for me to make friends because they think I’m childish. I’m very introverted and I’m not very good at socializing so making friends has never been easy for me, people think I’m weird. But let me tell you, wall-e has gotten me through so much crap in my life. Wall-e is my shoulder to cry on. When I’m happy, sad, bored, disappointed in my friends or the people around me bc ppl my age are so immature, I watch wall-e. It was the first movie I ever saw in theaters, I was only three. Wall-e will always hold such a special place for me and I think about it constantly. I’ve had friends that tell me they hated it, and it hurt me a lot. But I’ve come to realize that if you show twelve ppl the most beautiful flower on earth, only a few of those twelve will actually appreciate the flower for its natural beauty. Wall-e is more than a movie or masterpiece for me. It is my life. I can’t even begin to imagine me w/o it. Wall-e, I truly love you.
Dearest puddingbug; 👋 Darlin', at 15 or 16 you ARE still a kid! Lols!! I'm *60* and LOVE watching animated movies and cartoons and playing video games! My beloved late hubby and I used to laugh because folks thought we were buying video games and animated movies for my youngest son (who was nine when we met) and our grandkids (hubby's daughter gave us our 1st grandchild in 2003) but in reality we bought them for US!! I lost my mom in 1998, but we had a discussion about a month before she died. I moved my kids and I in with her to care for her while she was going through cancer treatments. We both woke up at like 5 AM; I made us breakfast and she asked what I'd like to watch with her. I told her that "Rocky & Bullwinkle" came on at 5:30, so we watched that, laughing and loving the old show (I'd grown up watching it! I was 36 in '98 😉.)! At 6:30 AM she asked what else I'd like to watch. I cautiously told her, "Bear in the Big Blue House" comes on now..." My mom smiled at me and said, "M., don't ever grow up!" I teasingly asked if she was saying I was childish. 😁 She said, "No! You have the loving heart of a child! You still find enjoyment in simple pleasures and still have the curiosity and delight of a kid on Christmas morning! I'm so proud to have you as my daughter and now as my best friend..." Wall-e is my number one favorite movie among all the Pixar films and "Tangled" is my favorite Disney movie though I love most of Pixar's, Disney's, and Dreamworks' offerings (All of the How To Train Your Dragons, Ice Ages, and of course, Galaxy Quest 😉😏🤭). But I believe that Wall-e truly is a masterpiece! Believe me, you're NOT WIERD!! Don't *ever* lose that kid inside you; it's what will sustain you through tough times and gives life meaning! Take care and God bless, "pudding"! 🤗🤗✌
I feel like Wall-E compared to other Pixar movies is REALLY underrated. My parents hate it for some reason, worst thing is they actually really enjoyed the Emoji movie which makes me want to put myself up for adoption.
I cry every time I watch this movie. It’s something about how innocent Wall-E is and how much he wanted Eva, along with Eva realizing how hard Wall-E worked to keep her safe back on Earth. Crazy.
a visual masterpiece in storytelling, imagine the balls it takes to have a film run with absolutely no dialogue or voice overs, or even text for quite a portion of the film, and the audacity to have it actually work!
Arguably the BEST animated film ever made. I could literally dissect every single damn second of this film and still not have said enough. It's truly flawless
Beautiful. Well done. It wasn't like many other video essays which are pretentious and ramble on. You explained the story and gave it new life, and that's it. And that's what made it great. Well done.
- Wall-E - .................................eva? - WALL-E!!!! That dialogue at the climax (with the eye scene you described) is the single most emotional dialogue ever made in any movie.
I remember when this movie first came out. I have so many good memories of exploring the promotional website with my family, especially my younger brother, watching the movie in theaters, and watching it at home many, many times. Even as a little annoying kid, I understood what the movie was saying perfectly. The entire movie felt magical. I haven't had another movie hit home exactly like Wall-E did, although some have come close.
i have friends that think The Incredibles is better than this movie... im glad other people realize the genius of this movie, one of my favorites of all time
@@savonthedon You obviously didnt watch The Incredibles closely enough. It was firstmost a movie about the importance of family. We see realistic arguments that all families can relate to, It's only possible for the Incredible family to save the day when they stand united as both a team - and a family.
Pixar: Heart, depth, story-driven plot. Dreamworks: B-movie with A-list celebrities doing the voices Illumination: Just throw in a poop joke every ten minutes, the kids will love it and you'll wonder why you wasted your money on it.
I've watched the movie twice, and I honestly don't remember the scene on earth lasting half an hour. Goes to show how great the movie is, that that part went by so quickly, even though there's no real dialogue.
I knew I loved this movie but never really thought about why. That breakdown of all the little touches that make wall-e feel human and relatable in the opening sequence was fantastic - there’s so much I never really realised they were doing, maybe because I saw it when I was much younger. Thank you, and now I have to go rewatch it!
WALLE is a masterpiece. It’s an old story we have heard before about how filthy humans are destroying the earth, but they used it to do something truly special. It’s a master class in making statements without using words. Visually, and thematically, it’s breath taking. Perhaps the most adorable and relatable animated love story ever, forged by the shared desire between WALLE and EVE simply to love and be loved, is seamlessly constructed and literally the only words they ever say to each other besides, each other’s names are Earth, Plant and Directive. They portray the most human desires and emotions with fewer words than anyone has ever done before.
Honestly the most rewatchable movie I've ever seen is Kung Fu Panda. i know that sounds insane, but its just shockingly amazing to see martial arts and I just enjoy it all.
Yes! The comedy and drama are just so well balanced, it's one of the only movies that can make me laugh out loud, while still being so heartwarming and sincere. And somehow the second one turned out to be even better!
It is indeed a masterpiece. The way the story evolves so eloquently without dialogue, the way the music meshes with every scene and change in emotion, the visual jokes and cultural references, and of course the story telling craft itself. You're right about the repurposing. For example, the fact that the film begins with Wall-E showing us that he is basically a very small, sentient trash compactor, and that when Wall e and Eva are in mortal danger at the film's climax, it's because of another much bigger trash compactor. Wall-E is endlessly fascinating, funny, and ultimately, full of human emotion.
Wall-E is STILL the masterpiece i remembered seing that first time. that emotion that sadness, and SO universal no need for words or speech, just EMOTION.
For sure Wall-E has Pixar's most creative visual storytelling, but we we must never forget the other language it uses to tell its story: the sound. I'm not talking about the lines or anything like that, but about the sound design and the soundtrack. The sound design is what makes this story and place so believable, and the soundtrack, with the visuals, is what makes the story, the feelings, the characters, and our own perception.
I watched this movie when I was around 1 to 3 years old. Wall-E is my favorite Pixar film because it never feels old. The movie never gets old. The visual and sound is amazing. My mom got me the DVD to watch it. I still actually have the DVD, sadly it has a bunch of scratches, but I still watch this movie ever couple years. I have different reactions everytime I watch the movie. This movie is the best. This movie should get a sequel Sincerely, Wilson
When my dad told me he cried watching a cartoon about a robot love story, I shrugged. And then I watched it... And I've never been able to watch it without crying. Not only I cry every time I watch it, but also right now, in this video, this short clip of Wall-E not recognizing Eve made me cry again.
At the risk of reviving a dead meme: when the love story of two CGI robots carries more emotion than the romance of two human actors, you should know how badly you messed up.
Wall-E remains my favourite Pixar movie of all time. Considering what they had back in 2008, the visuals along with the way the story is told, PLUS THE SOUNDTRACK, is absolutely astounding.
I still remember when I saw wall e. I remember which cinema and where I was sitting in that cinema. It’s ingrained into my being. It’s a great movie, not just a great kids movie, but just a great movie. Pixar has kinda lost its zing of late, but honestly it probably because they set the standard SO DAMN HIGH.
Wall-E is my favourite film. Has been since the first time I saw it, I can watch it endlessly and every time I notice something new and love it all over again. It really saddens me that this film isn't more popular
Actually is this film is very popular. It's like 3rd highest rated Pixar film. And according to IMDB, it's the 63rd highest rated film *ever*. That's pretty fantastic when you consider how many films exist out there
Literally the greatest movie ever. Every single thing in this movie has detail; and that's Pixar's trademark, the attention to detail. Every character, object, side character, and even down to the single shots of the movie are filled with love and detail. Wall-E is a masterpiece.
omg thank you for this!!! I always said of all the Pixar movies (and I love them all) this is the most intelligent and most creative in terms of visual expressions. To see the two main characters without any dialogue speak through their body language and gestures was beautifully done by the artists at Pixar. Pure geniuses!
Finally... Someone understands the beauty of this movie.. it was just so amazing. I still remember, the first time it premiered on Tv in our country, it was at 1 am( without ad breaks) and I had an English exam the next morning but I was so hell bent on watching it. I did.. and although I felt sleepy while writing my exam the next day, I knew it was worth it. WALL E was amazing. And still.. it's one of my favourite love story/ animated movies ever. Even after all these years.❤️
It is hard to describe how much Wall·E means to me personally. It is one of the first films I remember watching, and pretty much the only one I consistently rewatch outside of holiday films like Love Actually. I watched it in the cinema when it came out, I chose it when my brother, my sister and I were handed three DVDs to choose from that year (other two being Ratatouille and The Nightmare Before Christmas, both excellent films themselves), I fooled around with the extras... It, alongside the original PvZ and Blizzard's catalogue of games defined my childhood and is my single favourite piece of media of any kind to this day.
i saw the first three pixar movies they were fun but then the modern times came out and really i could just feel that notorious post modern cynicism because of all the generic stuff in virtually everything all over the world as the years went by that led to my depression and longing for another time but then WALL-E came out and it just gave me that sense of curiosity and raw non prepackaged non corporate innocence that i felt when watching the first toy story and even the disney classics from the walt era through wall-e and eve. Things like when walle looked up to the sky wondering about something great much like luke Skywalker looking at twin sunsets, back when that meant something before new starwars and last jedi made it all meaningless, and eve and Walle in his truck reminded me of rocky and Adrians moments at rockys apartment. If i could relive any moment in my life it would be to rewatch walle in the theaters when it came out, my favorite pixar movie and my favorite movie of all time that gave me hope again and always gives me hope.
this is why just shapes and beats is my favorite game it tells you a story and it NEVER says any words, the characters dont even have NAMES! and I cried at the end of it, such an awsome story
WALL-E is one of those movies that honestly gets better as you get older because then you can truly appreciate the things you missed when you watched it earlier, especially the visual storytelling. Not only do I think this is one of the greatest animated movies (my personal favorite animated movie), I think this is one of the greatest movies period!
My top 3 i think is, Finding Nemo because i love the ocean, and Cars because i love cars and because of the story of someone greedy and selfish turning into a true friend because he starts to see how surviving on he's own isn't actually the best way to live. And at number 3 i guess Wall-E because i love Sci-Fi, and the story of someone lonely getting a true friend at the end and also being a hero to others.
Wall-E is the movie I've watched more times than I can remember, and I cry every single time. Critical points are the starting sequence with "Put On Your Sunday Clothes", the next one is Wall-E going back to his house and pretty much that entire sequence with him taking off his 'shoes' and using the trash can as a hat, all the way to him watching the movie and holding his own hand, to then make me cry my eyes out when he cradles himself to sleep. Going forward I'm just crying by default. This is my favorite movie of all time, and no one will ever be able to make me forget about its charming characters, story, and most of all, Wall-E and Eva's bond.
I was on a plane from Australia to Italy when I first saw this movie, and there were many moments where I laughed out loud and/or cried and I didn't not care one iota that I was in public. So many Pixar films are brilliant and I will never grow tired of watching them, but there is something so beautiful about communicating through visuals and music alone (for the most part). Transcendent...
I remember being so excited for Wall-E to come out. My mom bought me a throw blanket with Wall-E on it, and the day it finally came out, my family and I watched it at the drive in together and it was everything I could've imagined, and even better. I bought it on DVD the second I could, and I eventually bought the video game for xbox 360 when it came out. This still, to this day, remains my favorite movie.
Holy s***! Your description was great. I love Pixar so much, they make the freaking cutest, saddest, and meaningful things that pull my heartstrings!!!
Wonderful job on this video. Your essay made me tear up. You would think that talking us through it like this would defeat its purpose, like when someone ruins a joke by explaining it, but no. It actually enhances it. When you're told in words what Pixar was trying to accomplish with just visuals, you realize how fucking perfectly they executed it. I haven't seen Wall·E in years, but I still remember how heartbreaking it was when his memory was erased. Thank you for reminding me how emotional of a scene that was. Thank you for reminding me how adorably yet depressingly they set up Wall·E's background and characteristics. Damn, I need to go watch this movie again now.
I think the combination of Wall-e's eyes being straight, ur soothing voice and the music u put over the clip made me have even more goosebumps than when I watched the actual movie, well done
YES Walle is my favourite film of all time, not even favourite pixar film, just favourite film altogether. Im glad to see people appreciate this masterpiece.
Every video that you make about Pixar you remind me that the 3D animation isn’t only about the story and the graphics but it is for the memories that you keep inside your heart like gold ( it’s good to stay young because it is a choice not a fate)
How have I only just seen this video??? Wall-e is my fav pixar film by far. I've seen it a hundred times but the scene 'define dancing' gives me chills no matter how often I see it. every second of that scene is perfectly crafted
I think it's incredible. Every time I watch it, I end up watching it 5 times again within the same week. It's a film that warns us about our current trajectory, but it does so while carrying a message of hope: the hope that we can and will find to live harmoniously not only with the world but ourselves as well.
I always say this: if I were from the Academy, I would have started throwing little golden statues at the screen halfway through the movie. It's complete. Flawless.
If i had to summarise it, Wall-E is not perfect but it is a masterpiece. The only thing (And I mean the ONLY thing) is that the scenes on the spaceship during the latter half can get a bit tedious. Besides that? Flawless.

I basically just did the exact same thing. I also didn’t that was about so much love, and I also just told myself to watch it again.
I've watched the movie many times, in the animation in the background behind the and credits, it shows the people recovering and the earth becoming lush and green as it was long ago, it shows them getting thinner, the forests regrowing, cleaning the environment, and even a boy fishing. In the very end it shows Wall-e and Eve in this lush future, still together.
alot of people hate this film aparently but I honestly place it on my top 3 pixar films with the incredibles and up.

I've not met one person yet that has, but I honestly want to meet someone that does just so I can ask WHAT they hate about it, because I just have this feeling the majority are just people that hate something just because so many people love it.

My beloved late hubby and I used to laugh because folks thought we were buying video games and animated movies for my youngest son (who was nine when we met) and our grandkids (hubby's daughter gave us our 1st grandchild in 2003) but in reality we bought them for US!!
I lost my mom in 1998, but we had a discussion about a month before she died. I moved my kids and I in with her to care for her while she was going through cancer treatments. We both woke up at like 5 AM; I made us breakfast and she asked what I'd like to watch with her. I told her that "Rocky & Bullwinkle" came on at 5:30, so we watched that, laughing and loving the old show (I'd grown up watching it! I was 36 in '98 😉.)! At 6:30 AM she asked what else I'd like to watch. I cautiously told her, "Bear in the Big Blue House" comes on now..."
My mom smiled at me and said, "M., don't ever grow up!" I teasingly asked if she was saying I was childish. 😁 She said, "No! You have the loving heart of a child! You still find enjoyment in simple pleasures and still have the curiosity and delight of a kid on Christmas morning! I'm so proud to have you as my daughter and now as my best friend..."
Wall-e is my number one favorite movie among all the Pixar films and "Tangled" is my favorite Disney movie though I love most of Pixar's, Disney's, and Dreamworks' offerings (All of the How To Train Your Dragons, Ice Ages, and of course, Galaxy Quest 😉😏🤭). But I believe that Wall-e truly is a masterpiece!
Believe me, you're NOT WIERD!! Don't *ever* lose that kid inside you; it's what will sustain you through tough times and gives life meaning!
Take care and God bless, "pudding"! 🤗🤗✌
I feel like Wall-E compared to other Pixar movies is REALLY underrated. My parents hate it for some reason, worst thing is they actually really enjoyed the Emoji movie which makes me want to put myself up for adoption.
I cry every time I watch this movie. It’s something about how innocent Wall-E is and how much he wanted Eva, along with Eva realizing how hard Wall-E worked to keep her safe back on Earth. Crazy.
I was too young to understand how good this movie was. Seeing the collage of Pixar movies made me realize what an amazing company it is..
a visual masterpiece in storytelling, imagine the balls it takes to have a film run with absolutely no dialogue or voice overs, or even text for quite a portion of the film, and the audacity to have it actually work!
This video deserves a lot more appreciation for what it is
Arguably the BEST animated film ever made. I could literally dissect every single damn second of this film and still not have said enough. It's truly flawless
Beautiful. Well done. It wasn't like many other video essays which are pretentious and ramble on. You explained the story and gave it new life, and that's it. And that's what made it great. Well done.
- Wall-E
- .................................eva?
- WALL-E!!!!
That dialogue at the climax (with the eye scene you described) is the single most emotional dialogue ever made in any movie.
I remember when this movie first came out. I have so many good memories of exploring the promotional website with my family, especially my younger brother, watching the movie in theaters, and watching it at home many, many times. Even as a little annoying kid, I understood what the movie was saying perfectly. The entire movie felt magical. I haven't had another movie hit home exactly like Wall-E did, although some have come close.
i have friends that think The Incredibles is better than this movie... im glad other people realize the genius of this movie, one of my favorites of all time
I hate it when people think their opinion is sooooo much better than others. not everyone has the same taste...
it’s understandable that they think the incredibles is better
Edo Fluit it’s just an animated super hero movie... Wall-E has a real message
@@savonthedon You obviously didnt watch The Incredibles closely enough. It was firstmost a movie about the importance of family. We see realistic arguments that all families can relate to, It's only possible for the Incredible family to save the day when they stand united as both a team - and a family.
both movies has real message
Pixar: Heart, depth, story-driven plot.
Dreamworks: B-movie with A-list celebrities doing the voices
Illumination: Just throw in a poop joke every ten minutes, the kids will love it and you'll wonder why you wasted your money on it.
So true
Hey in fairness dreamworks has its moments (prince of egypt, httyd, etc)
I've watched the movie twice, and I honestly don't remember the scene on earth lasting half an hour. Goes to show how great the movie is, that that part went by so quickly, even though there's no real dialogue.
Wall-E is the greatest love story ever put to screen. I'll argue this til I'm blue in the face.
This video makes me remember why wall-E is my favorite movie of all time thank you.
It saddens be seeing you this underrated. Your content is A+ please do keep it up.
I knew I loved this movie but never really thought about why. That breakdown of all the little touches that make wall-e feel human and relatable in the opening sequence was fantastic - there’s so much I never really realised they were doing, maybe because I saw it when I was much younger. Thank you, and now I have to go rewatch it!
WALLE is a masterpiece. It’s an old story we have heard before about how filthy humans are destroying the earth, but they used it to do something truly special. It’s a master class in making statements without using words. Visually, and thematically, it’s breath taking. Perhaps the most adorable and relatable animated love story ever, forged by the shared desire between WALLE and EVE simply to love and be loved, is seamlessly constructed and literally the only words they ever say to each other besides, each other’s names are Earth, Plant and Directive. They portray the most human desires and emotions with fewer words than anyone has ever done before.
Wow...just amazing, you showed me that wall-e is even better than i thought. 11/10 would watch again
i watched pretty much every pixar-disney movie out there, but id say this is the best one they make. absolute masterpiece.
Honestly the most rewatchable movie I've ever seen is Kung Fu Panda. i know that sounds insane, but its just shockingly amazing to see martial arts and I just enjoy it all.
Jeffrey finally another person that agrees with me!
I completely agree. Kung Fu Panda is my childhood! I loved the animation and comedy of it all. Dreamworks made some pretty good stuff.
When oogway leaves 😭😭
Kung fu panda 2 for me was the best of the three
Yes! The comedy and drama are just so well balanced, it's one of the only movies that can make me laugh out loud, while still being so heartwarming and sincere. And somehow the second one turned out to be even better!
It is indeed a masterpiece. The way the story evolves so eloquently without dialogue, the way the music meshes with every scene and change in emotion, the visual jokes and cultural references, and of course the story telling craft itself. You're right about the repurposing. For example, the fact that the film begins with Wall-E showing us that he is basically a very small, sentient trash compactor, and that when Wall e and Eva are in mortal danger at the film's climax, it's because of another much bigger trash compactor. Wall-E is endlessly fascinating, funny, and ultimately, full of human emotion.
Wall-E is STILL the masterpiece i remembered seing that first time. that emotion that sadness, and SO universal no need for words or speech, just EMOTION.
The movie also tells a story through SOUND bro. Like have you noticed the music and sound effects? For me that really sells the movie.
Wall-E is my all-time animation favourite. I just started crying out of happiness because this story is just so beautiful. Thanks for this video:)
For sure Wall-E has Pixar's most creative visual storytelling, but we we must never forget the other language it uses to tell its story: the sound. I'm not talking about the lines or anything like that, but about the sound design and the soundtrack. The sound design is what makes this story and place so believable, and the soundtrack, with the visuals, is what makes the story, the feelings, the characters, and our own perception.
Not only do I think it is a masterpiece, Wall-E is my favorite Pixar movie no matter how many times I watch it or how good any other Pixar movies are.
Ethan Hays I'm caught between woll-e and up
I watched this movie when I was around 1 to 3 years old. Wall-E is my favorite Pixar film because it never feels old. The movie never gets old. The visual and sound is amazing. My mom got me the DVD to watch it. I still actually have the DVD, sadly it has a bunch of scratches, but I still watch this movie ever couple years. I have different reactions everytime I watch the movie. This movie is the best. This movie should get a sequel
Sincerely, Wilson
It's a classic, a one-off, and far too singular to be burdened with a sequel. The story was told and came to a natural conclusion.
Well it technically isn’t a sequel but try watching BURN-E
Yes, it's a masterpiece! Pixar are the master storytellers. You articulated everything about the film so succinctly. Well done.
True
When my dad told me he cried watching a cartoon about a robot love story, I shrugged. And then I watched it... And I've never been able to watch it without crying. Not only I cry every time I watch it, but also right now, in this video, this short clip of Wall-E not recognizing Eve made me cry again.
Wall-E is my favorite movie of all time. It’s so great.
At the risk of reviving a dead meme: when the love story of two CGI robots carries more emotion than the romance of two human actors, you should know how badly you messed up.
Wall-E remains my favourite Pixar movie of all time. Considering what they had back in 2008, the visuals along with the way the story is told, PLUS THE SOUNDTRACK, is absolutely astounding.
I still remember when I saw wall e. I remember which cinema and where I was sitting in that cinema. It’s ingrained into my being. It’s a great movie, not just a great kids movie, but just a great movie. Pixar has kinda lost its zing of late, but honestly it probably because they set the standard SO DAMN HIGH.
Wall-E is my favourite film. Has been since the first time I saw it, I can watch it endlessly and every time I notice something new and love it all over again. It really saddens me that this film isn't more popular
Actually is this film is very popular. It's like 3rd highest rated Pixar film. And according to IMDB, it's the 63rd highest rated film *ever*. That's pretty fantastic when you consider how many films exist out there
The humans' expectations got ruined since there were no pizza trees in the world. Truely the saddest ending in cinema history.
Really wonderful video Bryan! Wall-e is my absolute favorite Pixar movie for all the points you've made, keep it up :)
I love Wall-E's soundtrack
Literally the greatest movie ever. Every single thing in this movie has detail; and that's Pixar's trademark, the attention to detail. Every character, object, side character, and even down to the single shots of the movie are filled with love and detail. Wall-E is a masterpiece.
I’ve loved Wall-e since I was 3, and it’s still my absolute favorite movie ever
omg thank you for this!!! I always said of all the Pixar movies (and I love them all) this is the most intelligent and most creative in terms of visual expressions. To see the two main characters without any dialogue speak through their body language and gestures was beautifully done by the artists at Pixar. Pure geniuses!
I love WALL•E! It's my second favorite Pixar film right behind Finding Nemo. You've got yourself a new subscriber.
Huh both finding nemo and wall-e both directed by Andrew stanton
@@paperchasindude6578 Yes, they have the same director. What's the matter?
@@uncledonel1742 He seems to be a good director 🐋
Honestly Wall-E is the best visual movie I have ever seen. pretty perfect at that.
Wall-E is a true work of art something most new Disney movies (not Pixar) and many other animation studios will never do
Finally... Someone understands the beauty of this movie.. it was just so amazing. I still remember, the first time it premiered on Tv in our country, it was at 1 am( without ad breaks) and I had an English exam the next morning but I was so hell bent on watching it. I did.. and although I felt sleepy while writing my exam the next day, I knew it was worth it. WALL E was amazing.
And still.. it's one of my favourite love story/ animated movies ever. Even after all these years.❤️
It is hard to describe how much Wall·E means to me personally. It is one of the first films I remember watching, and pretty much the only one I consistently rewatch outside of holiday films like Love Actually. I watched it in the cinema when it came out, I chose it when my brother, my sister and I were handed three DVDs to choose from that year (other two being Ratatouille and The Nightmare Before Christmas, both excellent films themselves), I fooled around with the extras... It, alongside the original PvZ and Blizzard's catalogue of games defined my childhood and is my single favourite piece of media of any kind to this day.
even when this is narrated, i cried. pixar's impact. thank u
i saw the first three pixar movies they were fun but then the modern times came out and really i could just feel that notorious post modern cynicism because of all the generic stuff in virtually everything all over the world as the years went by that led to my depression and longing for another time but then WALL-E came out and it just gave me that sense of curiosity and raw non prepackaged non corporate innocence that i felt when watching the first toy story and even the disney classics from the walt era through wall-e and eve. Things like when walle looked up to the sky wondering about something great much like luke Skywalker looking at twin sunsets, back when that meant something before new starwars and last jedi made it all meaningless, and eve and Walle in his truck reminded me of rocky and Adrians moments at rockys apartment. If i could relive any moment in my life it would be to rewatch walle in the theaters when it came out, my favorite pixar movie and my favorite movie of all time that gave me hope again and always gives me hope.
I am crying... Wall-e is my favorite childhood movie
this is why just shapes and beats is my favorite game
it tells you a story and it NEVER says any words, the characters dont even have NAMES!
and I cried at the end of it, such an awsome story
WALL-E is one of those movies that honestly gets better as you get older because then you can truly appreciate the things you missed when you watched it earlier, especially the visual storytelling.
Not only do I think this is one of the greatest animated movies (my personal favorite animated movie), I think this is one of the greatest movies period!
My top 3 i think is, Finding Nemo because i love the ocean, and Cars because i love cars and because of the story of someone greedy and selfish turning into a true friend because he starts to see how surviving on he's own isn't actually the best way to live.
And at number 3 i guess Wall-E because i love Sci-Fi, and the story of someone lonely getting a true friend at the end and also being a hero to others.
My father doesn't even know how to speak nor understand English and yet this is his favorite movie. "Speaks for itself" he said.
I can still remember seeing it in theaters. An amazing spectacle indeed.
Friend: why do you like wall-e so much?
Me:
This video is truly beautiful, having wall-e’s space dancing theme overlaid makes the opening stunning
This is why we love Wall-E more then ever💗💗
ahhh I love wall-e, it's such a beautiful movie. I love how they tell you thing just with visuals
You only showed like 30 seconds of that scene and I teared up
Wall-E is the movie I've watched more times than I can remember, and I cry every single time. Critical points are the starting sequence with "Put On Your Sunday Clothes", the next one is Wall-E going back to his house and pretty much that entire sequence with him taking off his 'shoes' and using the trash can as a hat, all the way to him watching the movie and holding his own hand, to then make me cry my eyes out when he cradles himself to sleep. Going forward I'm just crying by default. This is my favorite movie of all time, and no one will ever be able to make me forget about its charming characters, story, and most of all, Wall-E and Eva's bond.
Can we get a version of the movie where you literally speak over the whole thing like this
The way this dude describes the scenes are just so powerful.
Little did anyone know ratatoullie was the reincarnation of Gordon Ramsay
I was on a plane from Australia to Italy when I first saw this movie, and there were many moments where I laughed out loud and/or cried and I didn't not care one iota that I was in public. So many Pixar films are brilliant and I will never grow tired of watching them, but there is something so beautiful about communicating through visuals and music alone (for the most part). Transcendent...
I wish i had some money to support you
all the other Wall•E's in heaven seeing Wall•E return the humans back to earth, and getting the girl he loved:
I raised that boy
That one Wall•E who's jealous that Wall•E died, but came back to life: My disappointment is imessible and day is ruined
I love wall-e ❤️
I remember being so excited for Wall-E to come out. My mom bought me a throw blanket with Wall-E on it, and the day it finally came out, my family and I watched it at the drive in together and it was everything I could've imagined, and even better. I bought it on DVD the second I could, and I eventually bought the video game for xbox 360 when it came out. This still, to this day, remains my favorite movie.
I think most of the older pixar films are master pieces maybe some of the new ones today too.
Well true
Coco, inside out
Holy s***! Your description was great. I love Pixar so much, they make the freaking cutest, saddest, and meaningful things that pull my heartstrings!!!
The greatest Disney love story
how dare you say Disney created Wall-E
I give full credit to the Pixar team.
Wonderful job on this video. Your essay made me tear up. You would think that talking us through it like this would defeat its purpose, like when someone ruins a joke by explaining it, but no. It actually enhances it. When you're told in words what Pixar was trying to accomplish with just visuals, you realize how fucking perfectly they executed it. I haven't seen Wall·E in years, but I still remember how heartbreaking it was when his memory was erased. Thank you for reminding me how emotional of a scene that was. Thank you for reminding me how adorably yet depressingly they set up Wall·E's background and characteristics.
Damn, I need to go watch this movie again now.
I know this is an analysis but I still cried
It’s just that powerful.
I think the combination of Wall-e's eyes being straight, ur soothing voice and the music u put over the clip made me have even more goosebumps than when I watched the actual movie, well done
YES Walle is my favourite film of all time, not even favourite pixar film, just favourite film altogether. Im glad to see people appreciate this masterpiece.
i have really intense second hand emotions, so every time i try to watch this movie i start crying within the first 20 minutes and tirn it off
Every video that you make about Pixar you remind me that the 3D animation isn’t only about the story and the graphics but it is for the memories that you keep inside your heart like gold ( it’s good to stay young because it is a choice not a fate)
How have I only just seen this video??? Wall-e is my fav pixar film by far. I've seen it a hundred times but the scene 'define dancing' gives me chills no matter how often I see it. every second of that scene is perfectly crafted
I love pixar , amazing people work there , if they were not here with us , we would not have these masterpieces
I think it's incredible. Every time I watch it, I end up watching it 5 times again within the same week.
It's a film that warns us about our current trajectory, but it does so while carrying a message of hope: the hope that we can and will find to live harmoniously not only with the world but ourselves as well.
When I was a child I hated wall-E because of the sad parts. It was too much for me and caused me to be incredibly existential
One of my most favourite movies from Pixar. The language used in it is universal.
