About Disney WALL-E
During the 21st century, life on Earth fell under the control of the 'Buy n Large' (BnL) megacorporation, resulting in mass consumerism that eventually covering the entire planet in trash by 2105. In an attempt to resolve the situation, BnL evacuated Earth's entire population onto fully automated luxury starliners for five years while an army of small trash compactor robots called "WALL-E" (Waste Allocation Load Lifter - Earth Class) were left behind to clean up the planet. The plan largely failed, however, forcing humanity to remain in space indefinitely. Seven hundred years later, in 2805, only one WALL-E unit remains active, having survived by salvaging parts for himself from other defunct WALL-E units. This unit has developed sentience, in particular a strong sense of curiosity, as shown by his quirky habits of collecting knickknacks from the mountains of trash, domesticating a lone cockroach, and singing to the show tunes of Hello Dolly!.
One day, WALL-E discovers a seedling plant growing in the soil which he places in an old boot among the trash and returns it to his home inside an old transport truck. Later, a spaceship lands and deploys an advanced probe robot called EVE (Extraterrestrial Vegetation Evaluator). WALL-E is instantly smitten with EVE as she carries out her directive of searching for signs of plant life. EVE is initially aloof and hostile, but eventually warms up to WALL-E and takes a liking to him. During a dust storm, WALL-E takes EVE to his home and shows her the plant in the boot, which causes her automated systems to store the plant inside her body, activate a homing beacon for her ship, and shut her down. WALL-E goes to great lengths to take care of her, even going on a date with the inactive robot, in the hopes that she will reactivate. When EVE's ship returns to collect her, WALL-E desperately clings to the hull of the ship as it returns to the Axiom, the flagship of the BnL starliner fleet.
