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. Meanwhile, WALL-E chases eve across the galaxy and sets into motion one of the most exciting and imaginative comedy adventures ever brought to the big screen.

Robert Wilonsky
Village Voice:
(100) A film that's both breathtakingly majestic and heartbreakingly intimate.

Kirk Honeycutt
The Hollywood Reporter:
(100) The visual design of Wall-E is arguably Pixar's best. Stanton, who wrote the script with Jim Reardon from a story he concocted with Peter Docter, creates two fantastically imaginative, breathtakingly lit worlds.

Michael Phillips
Chicago Tribune:
(100) While I may argue with the little guy's taste in musicals, it's remarkable to see any film, in any genre, blend honest sentiment with genuine wit and a visual landscape unlike any other.

Lou Lumenick
New York Post:
(100) A charming, hilarious robot love story aimed at the entire family.

Claudia Puig
USA Today:
(100) At once futuristic, funny and fantastical.

John Anderson
Washington Post:
(100) The idea that a company in the business of mainstream entertainment would make something as creative, substantial and cautionary as WALL-E has to raise your hopes for humanity.
