I can hardly believe that a movie with a sum total of about two pages of dialogue can be so entertaining and endearing. I do not say this often, and do not say it lightly, this movie is an absolute masterpiece.

The story revolves around a solitary robot on a deserted earth, WALL-E. The abbreviation stands for "Waste Allocation Load Lifter – Earth class". The little robot dutifully spends his day clearing up the trash, compacting it and creating piles which rival skyscrapers.

After 700 years of solitude, the robot has developed a personality, a romantic, dreamy one at that. He collects intriguing odds and ends and stores them in his trailer, where he spends the nights watching Barbra Streisand sing "Hello Dolly" on a scratchy VCR.

When a gleaming rocket dispatches a shiny, sleek and definitely female robot to earth one day, some mechanical romance comes into play, and the two are swept into an adventure which reveals the fate of the corpulent human population.

A definite must watch, in fact, do not miss this one under any circumstances.
