It is 2700 A.D., and Earth has been abandoned because it is hopelessly polluted. Earthlings long ago boarded a huge star ship, the Axiom, and are floating around in space waiting to come back to a clean Earth. Meanwhile, trash-compacting androids, the WALL-Es–Waste Allocation Load Lifters-Earth Class–have spent seven centuries cleaning Earth, and now only one WALL-E (voice of Ben Burtt) is still functioning and continuing to clean things up. One day, Axiom deposits a robot (voice of Elissa Knight) EVE–(Extra-terrestrial Vegetation Evaluator)–on Earth. WALL-E falls in love with EVE, but EVE realizes that WALL-E has uncovered a secret that could save Earth, and she races back to Axiom to report her findings. WALL-E follows her in what turns out to be a fantastic voyage through space that ends aboard Axiom with its TV-addicted, slovenly occupants. This story teaches a lesson about mindless consumerism and eco-ignorance. The film won an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature and received five additional nominations.
