Pixar’s WALL-E directed by Andrew Stanton, is undoubtedly an animated masterpiece.  It was made during Pixar's golden age during the 2000s where they produced many other classic films such as Ratatouille, Cars, and Up.  It simultaneously has a great story and delivers a message on what Earth could become if humanity doesn’t properly clean up after itself.  The movie starts off in the cluttered ruins of Earth.  Humanity fled the planet after it became uninhabitable and left robots such as WALL-E behind to clean up.  WALL-E’s mundane existence is changed when he meets a new robot, EVE.  This starts an exciting adventure where the duo tries to save humanity from their sad existence in space.  The movie does a great job of creating a love story between these robots despite it being an unconventional dynamic to work with.  What makes Wall-E stand out from other films is its minimal dialogue.  WALL-E has a limited vocabulary so most of the communication between the robots is through body language.  This definitely works in the movie’s favour and makes for some interesting scenes.  WALL-E utilises its phenomenal animation and astounding soundtrack by Thomas Newman to build a stunning cinematic experience.  My only issue with this movie is it's somewhat slow pacing in the first half.  In conclusion, WALL-E is a timeless masterpiece that contains elements of  love, environmental consciousness, and technology.  I rate WALL-E 5/5 as I think it is Pixar’s best movie and easily one of the greatest animated films of all time.
