What if mankind had to leave Earth, and somebody forgot to turn the last robot off? Academy Award®-winning writer-director Andrew Stanton ("Finding Nemo") and the inventive storytellers and technical geniuses at Pixar Animation Studios ("The Incredibles," "Cars," "Ratatouille") transport moviegoers to a galaxy not so very far away for a new computer-animated cosmic comedy about a determined robot named WALL·E.
After hundreds of lonely years of doing what he was built for, WALL·E (short for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class) discovers a new purpose in life (besides collecting knick-knacks) when he meets a sleek search robot named EVE. 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 (who have been eagerly awaiting word that it is safe to return home). 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.
Joining WALL·E on his fantastic journey across a universe of never-before-imagined visions of the future, is a hilarious cast of characters including a pet cockroach, and a heroic team of malfunctioning misfit robots.

- The teaser trailer contains part of Michael Kamen's score for the 1985 Terry Gilliam-directed "Brazil". Kamen was slated to originally score Pixar's "The Incredibles" in 2004 but died before he could.
- Jim Reardon left his position as supervising director of "The Simpsons" television series to do animation on this film.
- Most of the characters are not voiced by actors, but by mechanical noises combined to resemble voices. There is little traditional dialogue in the film. To create dialogue, Burtt took various mechanical sounds, and combined them to resemble dialogue.
- For a character named AUTO, Burtt used old Maritime military sounds to express the character's emotions.
- Jeff Garlin is voicing a Captain, who is the only animated character who speaks. Fred Willard will have a live action role as the CEO of Buy n Large. John Ratzenberger will cameo, but his role is not yet determined.
