History Fridge / WallE

* Why would the WALL•As stop what they're doing and give EVE a lit space to fix WALL•E in? Because he's [[OneOfUs probably their predecessor]].

* The film depicts WALL-E as the last functioning cleaner-robot on earth, without any explicit reason for his survival compared to all other WALL-E's. But, during the first moments of the movie we see WALL-E come across a non-functioning WALL-E, with the next scene showing us that he stole the dead WAlL-E's tires. WALL-E survived when everyone else broke down because he recycled.

* I was really irritated by the portrayal of future humans in ''WALL•E'' as morbidly obese, lazy to the point of helplessness, and entirely self-absorbed... until I realized that the point was not to be a slam against [[AcceptableTargets fat people]], but to liken the humans to infants. It really clicked for me when it occurred to me that they all wear one-piece jumpsuits (rather like layettes) and consume only liquids. And then I realized that even their obesity has kind of a cuddly appeal, like the chubbiness of well-fed babies. It's not that they're all gluttonous, disgusting slobs, it's that too much luxury and not enough challenge has robbed them of their independence. (And then I wondered how I ever could have made the first assumption, when it is a ''{{Pixar}}'' film--no one who works for John Lasseter would ever mistake fatness for an indication of laziness!) --{{Karalora}}

* In ''WALL•E'', after much thought, is that this could actually be considered Pixar's first live-action feature! The humans presented in the video of the BNL's star ships were real humans, not [=CGIed=] ones. As was Fred Willard's role as the CEO of BNL, Shelby Forthright and the previous captains of the main star cruiser. The reasoning is that since the people got so fat, their bodies became more misshapen and too puffy, it would look cartoony so they could get away saying it was CGI. The robots could have been either way since they're robots and would look good either way.

** The [[spoiler: Directive A113]] recording implies that there were people left behind, such as CEO Shelby Forthright and some [=BnL=] personnel, presumably to oversee the clean-up work while everyone else was off in space. On the other hand, Forthright's ragged appearance and the sirens blaring in the video suggest that what's left of civilization was falling apart from all the toxicity. One has to wonder way became of all of them...

** No, communism is the elimination of private property ''entirely''. If the government owns all the means of production, that's closer to socialism, not communism. Communism would be if the means of production were owned by ''nobody'', but instead were treated as though they were owned by everybody and could be used according to need instead of possession. Words ''mean'' things; communism is not a catch-all word that means "political system I don't like".

** Only if it was intentional and I don't think anyone planned to make Earth unliveable.

* One of the defective robots appears to be increadibly violent and erratic, being able to destroy every single robot-guard by his own, but if you realize, that kind of robot is suppose to be a massagist robot... so, probably someone was beaten really hard by this robot before they send it to repair

** Wow. Sounds like you just wanted to assume the worst possible case. It´s very obviously not a slam against fat people.

*** Apostle doesn't just have to refer to the twelve either. Paul, Barnabus, Timothy, Silas, and Apollos were also called apostles.

*** A scientific explanation would be “potato disease” (although this troper is not sure that's the actual name). If you can't find it's meaning, it basically causes astronauts and humans in space to become extremely obese.

* A closing shot suggests that plants are actually ''common'' on Earth by this point, and Wall-E just didn't realize it because he never left the barren trash-deserts that he was trying to clean. Which rather implies that this movie's EVE is merely the latest such probe to find a plant, bring it back to the ''Axiom'', have her precious cargo unceremoniously jettisoned into space, and get sent to the repair bay for mind-wiping for succeeding in her task. There have been nearly ''seven hundred'' {=EVE=}s that met such a fate, and this one would've too, had she not ''also'' stumbled upon the only working cleaner-robot on the planet.

** And then we have an interesting point; Since BnL is a business that owns every single government, it may have effectively become ''the Government'' itself. Like Capitalism and Communism combined.

** Unless the reproductive organs were to shut down or there are robots designed to help with sexual activity (dating may have been more of an online thing, but people were still dating on the Axiom), artificial insemination may have been commonplace.
