==Synopsis==

WALL-E is a movie featuring a garbage clean-up robot, named WALL-E: Waste Allocation Load Lifter - Earth Class, who is left behind alone on a desolate version of the planet [[Earth]] in the year 2815. Unlike all his fellow units (of the same name), WALL-E manages to survive alone for 700 years, mainly due to spare parts and his occasional companion, a cockroach.

WALL-E is a movie featuring a garbage clean-up robot, named WALL-E (an acronym for '''W'''aste '''A'''llocation '''L'''oad '''L'''ifter '''- E'''arth Class), who is left behind alone on a desolate version of the planet [[Earth]] in the year 2815. The sole remaining working robot of his namesake units, WALL-E manages to survive alone for 700 years, mainly due to spare parts (and his ability to repair himself) and his occasional companion, a cockroach.

One day, WALL-E, through his rummaging, finds something in a boot filled with dirt and a [[plant]]! Never having seen a [[plant]] before, he stuffs it in with his other collections. The next day, by coincidence, an unmanned spaceship arrives on the planetary surface, bringing a new [[robot]], E.V.E: Extraterrestrial Vegetation Evaluator.

WALL-E, seeing her for the first time is elated and in love; a full montage ensues as he tries, to no success, to impress E.V.E. However, he finally gets the courage to introduce himself, and during a sand (or junk) storm, takes her for cover inside his hangar. There, he shows her many novelties he has found—a Rubik's cube and [[light]] bulb for two—and tries to dance with her to the music from [[Hello, Dolly!]].

Humans, under the lead of the mega-corporation Buy N' Large, had polluted the planet in 2115 to such an extent that they had to evacuate the doomed [[Earth]], leaving many WALL-E units active to "clean" up as they waited on a 5-year voyage. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to any (except AUTO), the ship was never meant to return; a 5-year voyage had become a "sep-too-uh-sen-tennieul" (as the Captain put it) 700-year voyage!

Arriving on board, EVE is taken from the ship and placed in a containment hold to be cleaned by the ship's own OCD cleaner, M-O: Microbe Obliterator. To its chagrin, WALL-E, being extremely dirty over 700 years, leaves mud-tracks on board the ship, leaving him to follow and clean. After being inspected and shown to have a green signal (the signal for a [[plant]]), E.V.E is taken on board by monorail to the Captain (played by [[Jeff Garlin]]), with WALL-E following. Mistakenly, WALL-E's exploits wake up two humans: John (played by John Ratzenberger) and Mary (played by Kathy Najimy, voice of Peggy on [[King of the Hill]]).

Captain McCrea, stemming from a long line of captains, is shown to be very obese, to the extent that he cannot walk without aid, like all other humans on board. This is explained to be due to a lack of exercise (even though they have machines for it) and microgravity, causing quite severe [[bone loss]]. His duties are mainly for show; the ship's [[auto pilot]], AUTO controls the ship, with an ulterior motive...

EVE is brought up to the captain's quarters with an unwitting WALL-E; the captain, seeing the [[green]] signal for the first sign is unsure what to do. AUTO shows him innocently the manual on how to activate it. He does so, but to his dismay, it turns up negative. EVE, as detected, was not carrying a plant.

Per AUTO's suggestions, EVE is sent to be fixed in the Recovery Ward, a ward of broken robots like a self-opening umbrella and a hyperactive masseuse. WALL-E follows unflinchingly, until he senses EVE is in trouble--he sees her head and arm being removed (both are removable). He breaks in and frees all the robots with the plasma cannon built into EVE's arm.

EVE, unaware of WALL-E's innocent intentions, forces him to follow her to a pod capsule leading back to Earth, while he refuses to do so. However, as she tries to coax him, they hear AUTO's Assistant, GO-4 heading close, bringing the plant in a tractor beam! AUTO had stolen the plant, for yet unknown purposes.
