WALL•E (2008)
Director: Andrew Stanton
Synopsis
Having tackled cooking rats, talking cars and lost fish, Pixar’s latest looks to be an existential tale of robot love in the mould of Phillip K. Dick. When mankind is forced to clear off of the earth, WALL•E is a small service robot whose job it is to tidy up all the debris left by the human race, but finds a new purpose in life when he meets another robot called EVE.
