5*’s 
Having been told that the first half contained no dialogue at all, I was sort of expecting a film aimed at toddlers and maybe a bit of a laugh. I was pleasantly surprised!
The storyline – while put in a very imaginative setting – is a classic one, lonely boy meets lonely girl, overcome hurdle and fall in love. However, boy and girl are both robots, and neither the earth or the human race are as we know them. Fat human beings, our descendants, live on a space ship with robots catering for their every needs, because they have covered the earth in “trash” and set WALL-E and other robots like him the task of cleaning it up. After 700 years, WALL-E is the last remaining clean-up robot, and is cutely lonely and sad. But when plant life is discovered on earth by Eve, the robot girlfriend of WALL-E, the heroic ship’s captain remembers his morals before it’s too late and battles robots on autodrive to restore our faith in the human race
A very touching film that had me giggling throughout, with a lovely message – respect our planet or lose it!
