It remains to be seen how “Wall-E”, the latest movie produced by Pixar and Disney, will perform at box office, but the critics have written highly positive reviews.

Created by Andrew Stanton, the same man who directed the now famous “Finding Nemo”, “Wall-E” could be the next big animation movie. It draws its inspiration not only from the SciFi movies of the ‘70s as Stanton said in various interviews, but the main character, Wall-E, the robot was inspired by famous actors like Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin.

But what or, better said, who is Wall-E? The name stands for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class and it/he is a robot, which has the mission to compact and dispose garbage.

However, Wall-E is not just an ordinary garbage machine; it is the last robot that survived on Earth after the humankind had flown away into the deep space from a dead planet suffocated by garbage and residues.

But in their rush to a better life, they forgot to unplug Wall-E. And Wall-E will follow the same daily routine of compacting and disposing garbage for the next seven hundred years. But as the time passes by, Wall-E develops a “small” and unexpected feature: a personality.

And after 700 years of loneliness, Wall-E has completed its transformation form an “IT” to a “HE” or at least he has human-like behavior. Wall-E has even learned about love from old videos like “Hello Dolly”.

And his existence is about to change in an unexpected manner when a search space robot, egg-shaped, EVE, will land on Earth sent by the humans in search of life.

Wall-E falls in love with EVE, but their beautiful robot romance will soon turn into a space adventure after EVE comes to realize that Wall-E has inadvertently stumbled upon the key to the planet’s future, and races back to space to report her findings to the humans.

Wall-E follows his newfound love into the space and the adventure is just about to start. Saying that Wall-E is just an animation movie is quite unfair, because the folks from Pixar have managed to create a true masterpiece in which the robots are brought to life to create a truly fun movie. The personality of the little robot and the way Pixar has managed to make him express his feelings is nothing less than astonishing.

“WALL-E, however, looks rusty and hard-working and plucky, and expresses his personality with body language and (mostly) with the binocular-like video cameras that serve as his eyes. The movie draws on a tradition going back to the earliest days of Walt Disney, who reduced human expressions to their broadest components and found ways to translate them to animals, birds, bees, flowers, trains and everything else” wrote the famous movie critic Roger Ebert, who rated the movie with 3 and 1/2 stars out of four.

In fact, the critics were unanimous in their appreciation of the movie. According to the movie reviews aggregator, MetaCritic.com, the movie has a rating of 92 out of 100, based on 34 reviews.

“Daring and traditional, groundbreaking and familiar, apocalyptic and sentimental, Wall-E gains strength from embracing contradictions that would destroy other films,” wrote Kenneth Turan in his review for Los Angeles Times.

Joe Morgenstern from The Wall Street Journal noted in his review: “The first half hour of "WALL-E" is essentially wordless, and left me speechless”. He called the movie a masterpiece. “I'll write more about this in Saturday's Weekend Journal, but for now I must drop my inhibitions about dropping the M word -- especially since I've already used magnificent -- and call "WALL-E" the masterpiece that it is,” Morgenstern wrote.

On RottentTomatoes.com, “Wall-E” gained a rating of 97 out of 100, based on 133 reviews and the movie was described as being close to perfection.

“Charming, audacious, and timely, Wall-E's lighthearted magic and stellar visuals testify once again to Pixar's ingenuity” was the consensus of the reviews.

“Pixar has once again burst the boundaries of the animation ghetto, creating a world so intricately worked-out, so ravishing, that we don't feel we're just watching it - we're visiting,” wrote Kurt Loder in his review for MTV.

So, even if the animation movies are not your thing, “Wall-E” will totally worth your time and I’m sure you won’t regret the 103 minutes spent in the company of this amazing movie.
