Wall-E

Wall-E (DVD)
Studio: Disney/Pixar, 2008

Sometime in the near future, human beings realize the extent of their environmental damage and decide to flee the Earth.  They leave a fleet of robots behind to clean up the planet.  The idea is that humans will live on a spaceship called Axiom while robots make Earth inhabitable again.  700 years later, Wall-E is the last of his kind.  He cleans, collects human artifacts, and takes care of his pet cockroach.  The days all run together until the arrival of EVE, a robot probe tasked to find life on the planet.  EVE discovers a small green plant and immediately returns to the Axiom (due to protocol).  Wall-E, desperately in love with EVE, follows along.  A strange situation arises when the humans discover the green plant, the ship's computer discovers the green plant, and Wall-E and EVE learn the green plant's fate.  This is a story of love, bravery, adventure, and environmentalism.
