  • adventure follows a plucky little robot in the distant future who inadvertently embarks

  • on a journey through space that ends up deciding the fate of all mankind. Inspired by old clips

  • from the musical "Hello, Dolly!", the titular character is a hopeless romantic - but he's

  • also the only thing with sentience on the entire globe, left behind to clean up a planetwide

  • mess after humans left the solar system for a better future. Their expositional infomercial

  • that begins the film reminds customers that, "We'll clean up the mess while you're away!".

  • Despite being a mute, miniature Johnny-5 clone... "Wall-E" remains remarkably expressive. Hunting

  • for trinkets on the abandoned Earth to satisfy his curiosity, his large eyes and eyebrow

  • flaps help him emote his very human-like feelings and desires. He is perplexed and surprised

  • to discover all sorts of leftover trash, and even mistakes an old bra as large eyewear.
