It’s tricky because the movie is clever about how it makes you hate BnL, despite it being the invention of the very humans we sympathize with. Though we see shots of life rebuilding itself peacefully, won’t humans just make the same mistakes again and damage Earth completely this time? It’s depressing, but history repeats itself. If he had never followed EVE, the humans would sill be on the Axiom, but when the movie closes, the humans have returned to Earth. So was what WALL-E did for them…for the best? The society created by this “loop” of never-ending pleasure created a culture of interestingly polite humans, contrary to the spoiled rich kid syndrome you’d expect to see. They cheer for the captain when he’s fighting Auto, and John and Mary don’t hesitate to risk their lives for the babies falling down the platform. In some of the final scenes, we see the humans showing a lot of empathy for WALL-E and EVE, even though most have them have no idea what’s going on. He’s incredibly optimistic, and in many ways, one of the central heroes of the film when it comes down to it. When the current captain of the ship becomes enamored with Earth, he appears to have the joy of a child. When we see the panel of past Axiom captains, you can see that all of them live well over 100 years. The screens they view everything through are translucent, so they have no shame in letting other people see what they’re working on.Įven life expectancy isn’t a problem. The humans we see have friends, romantic relationships, and excellent living accommodations. You’d think they’d treat him terribly, but instead they befriend him and get eerily excited when they see him again. They’re not used to robots having a personality, and when they meet WALL-E, they are very positive and nice to him.
Instead, they’re incredibly polite, especially when they meet WALL-E for the first time. Not once do you see a human on Axiom acting spoiled or rude. This brings me to the main point: The people of Axiom are incredibly nice, well-functioning people. It’s a strange setup because you’d think the people on Axiom would grow bored and feel stifled, but in contrast, they seem completely intent, until WALL-E arrives and causes a chain of events that leads to their return to Earth. The robots satisfy all of their needs, and life is pretty much perfect in their minds, even though they do nothing for themselves.
WALL-E ends up on Axiom, one of many starliners running in a lifestyle “loop.” The humans there have been raised from birth to support and trust BnL and it’s routines for their entire lives. When a probe named EVE arrives to find hospitable life, WALL-E falls in adorable robot love with her, and when she returns to deliver the plant-life she found, WALL-E frantically follows her.
What you’re about to read is something that didn’t make it into the final draft, so BONUS!Īnyway, humans remain in space unbothered for 700 years, which is when the movie’s plot begins with WALL-E. Side note: Soon, my book on The Pixar Theory will be coming out, and it’s packed with theories that concern this movie and BnL in general. In response, a world-dominating organization called Buy n Large (BnL) pledges to clean up the mess, though it’s heavily implied it’s mostly their fault, and they send all humans to space on executive cruise ships called “starliners.” But after only five years, BnL decides to abandon the planet completely because the air has become toxic.
In this universe, Earth becomes incredibly overpopulated by the year 2105, with 200 billion humans contributing to an environmental disaster for obvious reasons. There are some movies with tragic endings that would have been just fine if the protagonist had done nothing at all.Īnd I think WALL-E accidentally does the same thing, and not for the reason you may be thinking. heroes of the film) actually do more harm than good. There are a lot of movies that you can point to and say that the protagonists (i.e. Have you ever seen Pixar’s WALL-E? No? Then go watch that, come back, and let’s discuss something somewhat troubling about this film.
