WALL-E may be the cutest Pixar character ever, even though he is just a trash compactor with binocular like eyes. WALL-E was a movie created by Pixar to challenge themselves and as well as the world. It was released in 2008 and was directed by Andrew Stanton. It was written by Andrew Stanton and Pete Docter and the movie starred Ben Burtt as WALL-E, Elissa Knight as EVE, and Jeff Garlin as the Captain (of the ship called Axiom). Working along with Pixar Animation Studios, Walt Disney Pictures released WALL-E in Canada and the United States on June 27, 2008, and it blew the competition out of the water as it made $23.2 million on its opening day, $63 million on its opening weekend in almost four thousand theatres, all the while coming in first …show more content…
As WALL-E tracks EVE to the Captains quarters of the Axiom, the captain learns that by putting the plant into the ship’s holodeck, the ship would go back to Earth so that the passengers could recolonize it. However, they learn that the plant has gone missing as Auto (The ship’s automated system) has sent a robot to expel the plant from the ship. Then, WALL-E and EVE find the plant and attempt to bring the plant to Captain McCrea but are stopped by Auto. Auto stages a mutiny and reveals his directive (to stop the ship from going back to earth) and tases WALL-E, severely injuring him when he attempts to protect the plant. Eventually the captain wrestles with and deactivates Auto as EVE places the plant in the holodeck which sends the Axiom on a hyperjump to Earth.

WALL-E was also crushed as he tried to keep the holodeck afloat as it was collapsing. Right after the Axiom reached earth, EVE quickly rushed WALL-E to his home and repaired and reactivated him. Unfortunately, WALL-E’s programming was reset and no longer recognized EVE, and is now an emotionless waste compactor. Heartbroken and distraught, EVE holds his hand and gives WALL-E an electric kiss, which reboots WALL-E’s memory as well as his personality. It is a happy ending as WALL-E and EVE reunite and …show more content…
Ben Burtt, the sound designer for Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, worked on this movie as well. The sound encompasses its audience and makes the movie seem realistic as Burtt used an automobile self starter for when WALL-E goes rapidly. For WALL-E compressing trash in his body, he uses the sound of cars being wrecked at a demolition derby. Also the Mac computer chime was used to signal when WALL-E had his battery fully recharged. And for EVE, Burtt electronically modified the voice of Pixar employee Elissa Knight for EVE’s voice. Burtt also recorded a radio controlled jet plane for EVE’s flying, and for EVE’s plasma cannon, he used a timpani stick to hit a slinky hanging from a ladder. For a scene where WALL-E is escaping falling shopping carts, Burtt recorder his sounds with his daughter at the supermarket in a shopping cart as they let the cart roll down a hill. He also uses his recordings from Niagara Falls in 1987 for the sounds of wind. All in all, the way the sound was created for this movie made is very impressive and gives it a sort of realistic kind of feeling to the
