Why is curiosity so important? How do we stop being complacent?
Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright are reacting to WALL-E and comparing and contrasting curiosity and complacency. Jonathan talks about how WALL-E’s contagious curiosity affects everyone he meets and shakes them out of complacency. He also explains why curiosity is so important for our mental health. Alan is in awe of Pixar’s filmmaking and storytelling expertise in conveying so much with so few words. Pixar is so good that he’s kind of upset. Damn you, Pixar!

One thing I find unmeasurably astounding is how cute Wall-E's design is. Conventional wisdom dictates that cute design needs to be round, and smooth (or otherwise fluffy), and soft. In conventional design, Eve is the prototypical "cute" design, but she doesn't read that way on screen. Wall-E on the other hand is about as far opposite that conventionally "cute" design aesthetic as you can get - he's hard, and boxy, with lots of sharp angular corners and rigid rusty texture, yet he reads a cute IMMEDIATELY.

@@hallaloth3112To be fair, there is some monologue in the opening of Up when Carl and Ellie were kids (when baby Carl was in the movie theater and he was watching the film reel). I think Wall-E stands out because there aren’t even any people in the opening scene, just a robot and a roach and somehow we’re still getting so much setup and characterization. No words are needed. It’s a much better example of “show, don’t tell.”

I totally get the "crying from joy / admiration / beauty of something" phenomenon-- that always makes me think of the time I went on the ride at Disney's Animal Kingdom called "Dinosaur!" for the first time. BEFORE that, I had actually already spent decades being a "thrill seeker" with many different types of rides, BUT my experience with heavily immersive thematic experiences was quite lacking. During that ride "Dinosaur!", I was SO very impressed with how they had designed that ride: From the convincing and dramatic surrounding environment, to how quickly CLOSE the ride vehicle got to the very-well-designed dinosaurs, to the "frantic antics" of the ride vehicle itself (it felt like we were riding on a big mouse or squirrel lol)... by the end of the ride, my eyes were literally leaking from excited disbelief and amusement at how good it was! I've also done a lot of research on emotional tears in particular (from either joy or also many instances of sadness too) and they are associated with feel-good brain endorphins. It sure took long enough for me to notice those first-hand (at about age 35!)... that was when the movie "Inside Out" happened to strongly trigger tears from me (before then I didn't think much about tears at all and rarely cried from anything). BUT after that (and after which I actually got cravings for MORE tearjerker movies lol)... I did a bit of research, and when I saw endorphins were likely involved in that "new" craving of mine, I totally embraced it, haha.

When I'm super excited about something I sometimes feel like bursting into tears. Not just tearing up a little, but feeling like I legit want to bawl my eyes out. I don't usually do so, but I feel like it. It's like I just have so many emotions and I really don't know what to do with them. This happened most recently a few months ago when I went to Derek Hough live tour (I love his dancing, and always wanted to see him perform but never ever imagined I would; then I found out a week prior that he was doing a dance tour and would be in a city just an hour away from me, so I totally jumped on that opportunity!!) and I was fine up until I was in my seat, the lights went down and introductions were starting... and I was just so thrilled to be able to see him and all the others live, I almost just busted into tears right there. Same thing when I went to see the Simone Biles tour back in 2021 (never ever thought I'd get to see any gymnasts perform live, and I got to see her, Ellie Black, Chellsie Memmel, Jordan Chiles, Melanie de Jesus dos Santos, MyKayla Skinner, Laurie Hernandez, and so many more!), and also when I went on a road trip to Cincinnati a year ago and finally got to see Fiona the hippo at the zoo there (I'm obsessed with hippos, since I was old enough to know which animals were which, and I've loved Fiona ever since she was born premie 7 years ago!)...so yeah, things like that, where I have such happiness and joy about being able to (finally) experience them, it's like it's too much and it just comes out through crying/wanting to cry. I also struggle with alexithymia, identifying my emotions, though, so I think my brain gets mixed up when I feel strong things.

I always viewed Eve as like a really cool, intelligent, and career-driven person while Wall-E is very relationship and partner-focused person. In the beginning, they both are at the extreme levels of their respective traits, and it isn't until they both inherit a little of what the other person values that their relationship finally flourishes. Under the many marvelously written themes, there's a story of two people who in the beginning seemingly are completely different, but let their curiosity guide them to learn and accept one another and find the beauty in each other. Love takes work with a spark of curiosity, and once you find it you flourish.

Very true and everytime I think about this movie I think about that one typing robot that Wall-E taught to wave, just like you said! I just love how you can see it thinking and trying out the waving motion, something it could easily aleays have done but obviously never even considered. Then even when Wall-E is gone it doesn't go back to typing, it waves by itself and is in awe at this small motion it can make and the meaning behind it and what a difference it makes for it. Then the next time the robot sees Wall-E it's waving jubilantly! You can tell it's become this robots new favorite thing to do and will now happily wave to every single person it meets!

What I find most interesting about that is... Who taught Wall-E to wave? Think about it. Seven hundred years, all his companions gone, all humans gone... The only real reference he had for socialization were the super old movies that he could fenagle into working. Through his own innate curiosity, he learned socialization from people who'd passed 800+ years before him. And that bit of gained knowledge is what he then used to teach others. The sheer breadth of time encompassed is mindboggling. Those actors couldn't've possibly envisioned what their work would mean for humanity so far in the future.

I frickin love the scene when all the people start passing the plant to Eve, because they easily could have made the humans bumbling obstacles and the robots fix everything. But this little bit shows that even in their cartoonishly complacent state, people are compassionate and try their best to be good. They don’t know Wall-e or even what’s going on, really, but they’re eager to help. I don’t know I just really love how this movie portrays the people as lost, but good.

As a dancer, “define dancing” has always been one of my favorite scenes in any movie, ever. It’s just such a beautiful depiction of the power of art to foster emotional connection. This whole movie is a dance, starting from the first act that’s pretty much entirely non-verbal. Dance is powerful for its ability to communicate complex emotions that often don’t have precise words, and this movie is a thesis on that idea. Thanks so much for your commentary ❤️

All the ADHD kids (dx’d or not, myself included) felt INCREDIBLY SEEN in the scene where WALL-E is going around collecting random stuff while on the job. To date that is one of the most personally-relatable scenes I’ve ever seen in a movie lmao Also worth noting-it sucks that the term “red pill” has been co-opted by incels, but this movie was before that, so: when WALL-E bends Mary’s headrest-thing back, her shirt turns from blue to red as the screen falls away from her and she sees the “real world” for seemingly the first time. I know there have been many, many nods to The Matrix in lots of movies, games, shows, etc. but there’s another pretty overt one for ya.

Same, I was always curious, I wanted to learn and invent, but all that ever got me in school was paddles and punishments at home. Interest that weren't the norm were frowned upon. The only teachers who I felt really got that were 1) the older art teacher who just sounded so in love with the process of creation and went out of her way to make you notice things. She pointed out how wearing a nice silver pendant against a black shirt made it more noticable and interesting. She encouraged experimentation with art. 2) The new first year on the job teacher, I was worried about her because she was the daughter of a teacher who literally broke three paddles on me. When my parents divorced she made sure I was doing okay. Years later I learned her mom did warn her about me. She'd told my mother she didn't know what to do with me, one day she was helping her husband at his ranch and watched them try to break a horse for hours but it wouldn't give. She said the moment clicked in her mind. She had told my teacher 'you can't break him'.

When this movie premiered I waited until days later, I knew the cinema would be packed with lots of people. When I did go it was with a small group of friends. Liana finally said to me "I get it now. Now I know why you love bygone and vintage items and you are always teaching us new things" She made me cry so bad! This was during Wall-E and Eve's space dance.

What you guys talked about here reminds me of how many of us as children had this burgeoning boundless curiosity that was stamped out of us by adults, either by societal expectations and schooling and career, or just by abusive bitter people who took offence to it. I remember just being in love with the world and wanting to explore every bit of it, never undeterred, my parents often talked about how as a toddler they’d have to tie me to somewhere literally becuz i would crawl so fast all over the place to explore, and in nature i just loved to wander around. But now im just deathly scared of the world and how much it can hurt me and how anything I do in it could have consequences or take advantage of me. I just think of everything that could go wrong, every person that could pick on me and harass me just for my looks or just for being a tourist or anything really. Luckily I can still nurture my curiosity through various film, music, and my academic pursuits in world history. I think all of us would love to have that childlike curiosity back, to just feel like we go anywhere in the world.

I find the idea of "schooling" having stamped out curiosity a bit odd. I suppose if you were in a school that was just trying to prepare young people for the workforce, that could be true. And, unfortunately, more universities are trending in that direction. (With enrollment down, it's the programs that promote curiosity that are getting cut first.) But schooling should not be that way. Mine wasn't. My schooling was generally good at promoting curiosity. (But I am also an engineer. Curiosity is important for my line of work.) What I would add to your list, though, is religion. It often asserts that a god is responsible for things to avoid doing the hard work of exploring for legitimate answers. In doing so, it sets a bad precedent. In other words, why put in the work of exploring for an answer to a question when it's acceptable to make one up?

I think this movie is such a beloved classic for a reason. Not only has an aged well, but it told a story in such a unique way. A story that a lot of us can relate to in terms of seeking connection and being optimistic. I have a friend of mine watching this movie with his kids in the backseat of the car and he never understood what was going on because all you can hear is Wall-E and Eva saying their names! 😂

When I was a kid, my dad took me and my little brother to the cinema to see Wall-e and then afterwards drove us to the nearest waste collection point. It was a while ago and a lot has changed since then, but at the time waste collection composed of hills and mountains of garbage being formed outside of cities. I still remember the smell, the dirt and the overpowering grayness. It was exactly like in the Wall-e movie, but in real life. I am so thankful that he did this, it was the biggest lesson I have ever learned.

WALLE's curiosity about the world around him is so endearing, and makes him all the more lovable. While it's easy to become cynical and jaded by the world around us, WALLE shows that you can still be idealistic, and that there's still so much beauty in this corrupt world.

The voice actor of WALL-E was also the sound designer. Ben Burtt is a legend in sound design: "Burtt is notable for popularizing the Wilhelm scream in-joke and creating many of the iconic sound effects heard in the Star Wars film franchise, including the 'voice' of R2-D2, the lightsaber hum, the sound of the blaster guns, the heavy-breathing sound of Darth Vader and creating the Ewoks’ language, Ewokese."

I totally get the "crying from joy / admiration / beauty of something" phenomenon-- that always makes me think of the time I went on the ride at Disney's Animal Kingdom called "Dinosaur!" for the first time. BEFORE that, I had actually already spent decades being a "thrill seeker" with many different types of rides, BUT my experience with heavily immersive thematic experiences was quite lacking. During that ride "Dinosaur!", I was SO very impressed with how they had designed that ride: From the convincing and dramatic surrounding environment, to how quickly CLOSE the ride vehicle got to the very-well-designed dinosaurs, to the "frantic antics" of the ride vehicle itself (it felt like we were riding on a big mouse or squirrel lol)... by the end of the ride, my eyes were literally leaking from excited disbelief and amusement at how good it was! But ALSO: I've also done a lot of research on emotional tears in particular (from either joy or also many instances of sadness too) and they are associated with feel-good brain endorphins. It sure took long enough for me to notice those first-hand (at about age 35!)... that was when the movie "Inside Out" happened to strongly trigger tears from me (before then I didn't think much about tears at all and rarely cried from anything). BUT after that (and after which I actually got cravings for MORE tearjerker movies lol)... I did a bit of research, and when I saw endorphins were likely involved in that "new" craving of mine, I totally embraced it, haha. So... I would say totally NOT dumb :D

One of my favorite Pixar films! I have some fun trivia for you guys. Michael Crawford is the actor in the Hello Dolly 1969 movie clips, when he filmed the song at the beginning that goes "Out there! There's a world outside of Yonkers!" they kept doing takes that weren't working, until someone asked him not to think of New York but to think of the stars. When Michael Crawford saw WALL-E decades later he said, "That's exactly what I was picturing when I sang this song!"

Wall-E is such a wonderful example of a movie that perfects show don’t tell-primarily the opening. Sure we get a video explanation of the Axiom but throughout the story we get to see the characters’ growth and the adaptation of the story for ourselves. We get to see what we’ve done to our world and the consequences of our actions without needing any prior knowledge. A lot of Disney (and even the occasional Pixar) movies nowadays try to spoon feed us information through character conversations or through song. I remember a couple years ago I watched a video where somebody went through how much more interesting Tangled is without the 5 minute intro where they give us the entire backstory of what happened. Yes Tangled is still a great story, but we don’t get to engage with our curiosity the same way when we already know what happened. We don’t get to experience Rapunzel’s realization *with* her. So many “kids” movies focus too heavily on expecting that a movie won’t do well if the audience has to put some thought into why things are happening, when really I’d argue a lot of the ones that deprive us of our curiosity are the ones that are far less fun to watch.

This hits so hard. I'm so young but it really feels like I just can't connect to people at a fundamental level. Interactions just become, stale after a while. It makes me think about myself, and if people see my interactions as stale too. I feel like I just lack some internal sense of "social instinct". We're supposed to be hardwired for sociability, but I just find it so hard. Not just because it's scary or overwhelming. Socializing just feels so incongruent. It feels like there are hundreds of little factors and subtle variables and cues that are impossible to keep up with. It feels like a pseudoscience, like there ARE parameters and guidelines, but they are so inconsistent that it makes it impossible to reach any objective conclusion. It feels like it's not worth seeking connection because I KNOW I'll hurt people or myself in the process, so it's just not worth it. I'll share too much, or too little. I'll be either to clingy or too distant. I'll never be in that perfect Goldilocks zone, I always stray too far into one extreme. It's just so stressful. Why does socializing need to be this elaborate song and dance. Why can't we just be honest with each other and just tell each other what we want and need.

Much like EVE, I was easily angered and saw my partner as an annoyance, but as we spent the months together, I began opening up to him. And him being the sweetest person I know, he loved and accepted me the way I was. WALL-E already had a special place in my heart but because I fell in love with my babe over it, now it’s cemented its place.

AAWWwww I totally get that!! But to answer your question, "Um... it's Pixar" :P That story reminded me of THIS story of mine: I've done a lot of research on emotional tears and they are associated with feel-good brain endorphins. It sure took long enough for me to notice those first-hand (at about age 35!)... that was when the movie "Inside Out" happened to strongly trigger tears from me (before then I didn't think much about tears at all and rarely cried from anything). BUT after that (and after which I actually got cravings for MORE tearjerker movies lol)... I did a bit of research, and when I saw endorphins were likely involved in that "new" craving of mine, I totally embraced it, haha. The SPECIFIC part of "Inside Out" that really got me was when Joy was stuck in the pit thinking Riley might never be happy again, ESPECIALLY at her line of "Do you remember when she used to stick her tongue out when she was coloring?" If my roommates had not been watching with me, there would have been a literal FLOOD. But, as it is, I HATE crying in front of people (and have actually never done it), SO I managed to "hold in" external tears... BUT it took SO much effort that it actually was PAINFUL to hold in! So I am guessing that probably accounted for my having a continuing craving for tearjerkers... something STILL needed to be let out lol.

You know, when I first saw Inside Out, I didn’t find it that sad and didn’t cry. But then I went through high school which was a huge change, and I had a very, very hard time in tenth grade. When I watched Inside Out again after all that, I cried. I cried when Riley came back to her parents after running away and expressed she missed home while tears streamed down her cheeks. It somehow conveyed the hurt and grief I felt from getting older and all the fear I felt at school. I remember thinking to myself once during that time period that I wanted to go home, which didn’t necessarily mean I wanted to go back to my house, but that I wanted to go somewhere where I belonged and felt safe and happy.

​@@puggawugbug6231 Yup that part of the movie was definitely intense. I probably would have cried at that part myself if my brain hadn't been so broken from what I did with that earlier part. And yup that sort of "before and after real-life development" you summarized definitely happens a lot. That sounds like my experience with "The Land Before Time." I saw that one many times as a little kid, and although I knew there was really sad stuff going on in that, I never cried. Then I saw it in my 30's and couldn't hold it together for most of the movie.

I would like to thank y’all for this channel from the deepest pits of my heart. Especially for the hard days when humanity seems slim in people I interact with, or like the weight of the world is coming down full force, these discussions bring me new light and a breath of fresh air, like everything makes sense in the universe and all will be okay. I can’t begin to explain how much I appreciate it for all the years I’ve been watching. Even with the episodes based on movies I haven’t seen, they give me a perspective on another relevant topic that either helps now or down the line. Thank you

Curiosity is such an underrated virtue. Something happened in my country recently which really cemented for me the downsides of not being curious. When all you do is stay inside your bubble, you become easy to scare and even feel entitled to stay in there. That makes it so easy for meaningful change to get shut down by scare campaigns aimed at a short-sighted population.

I love not only the storytelling aspect, but the color scheme. In the beginning, Earth is just a deserted rock, and even Wall-E himself falls into the ruined, old and brown color scheme, but then there is the plant. One of the only things that looks new and fresh and bright. Directly after the plant Eve comes. She is pure white, clean, fast, advanced, not only everything associated with the new world, but is completely opposite to Wall-E. Wall-E is an old fashioned and slower bot, but Eve is more experienced and bright in contrast to Wall-E old dirty look. That is one main reason Wall-E and Eve work so well, is they are complete contrasts to each other, but both love one common thing which is the plant. No matter what era you are from or how much times change, there is always some beautiful things that stays the same.

Technically, M-O (standing for Microbe Oblirator) isn't a germaphobe, his job is to keep things clean and free from germs (and dirt), he's like a janitor or a cleaner that is a stickler, making sure that a place is spotless (literally and figurativly) and is very by the book. Okay, he does get out of his zone literally but it's only his drive to keep the place clean that he goes out of line to clean the ship after WALL-E's mess (and WALL-E himself) which manages to do from the start of act 2 to the end of it, then his job is done.

WALLE is still my favorite Pixar film. The older I get the more every moment pushes me to the verge of tears. The loneliness and yearning WALLE feels only increases the older and lonelier I get. Thank you Pixar for creating a film that only grows more prevalent for me as time passes by. I hope one day this changes, my sadness and loneliness that is. But my love for WALLE will always remain the same and I will forever be grateful that a film like this exists that feels like it understands me.

Another note: you can see how prevalent AUTO’s control is with the fact that Eve, a robot tasked with searching for plant life on Earth, with supposedly most, if not all, animal life gone (at least, from BnL’s perspective) and her first response to movement possibly suggesting at life is to blast it, I kinda get the feeling she may have unknowingly been tasked with making sure Earth stays dead. But of course she goes against that chasing after curiosity and Wall E

Johnathan, Alan, I do not know if you missed it, didn't have enough time, it was to off the main topic, or if you lost focus enjoying the stars, but one of the greatest innuendos of Wall-e is this. She is a young, new, powerful, and has a job changing the lives of all humanity. He is old, dirty, rusty, and works as some one who cleans and organizes filth, but none of that matters. He gives the best of himself to her and she loves him for that, HOWEVER it is not just her. He does the same for the cockroach, Moe, all the other Robots, the Captain, and the random people he runs into, and they love him for it. That is how you love someone, that is how you make friends, that is how you lead, and that is how you become a great boss. When you do that, the people, as was written throughout this story, show up for the fight. They show up and follow your lead, because they know their life is better with you in it. It isn't about the amount of money he has, his status in society, how strong he is. He is living in a van down by sludge river, living amongst used goods, and none of that matters because he is giving them the best of himself. Not a single one of those Robots, Captain, People can be the hero who can do it all, so they use what little they can to push the goal for Wall-e, and that made all the difference. One connection who led with integrity, empathy, kindness, and gave them not everything but the best of him.

As a person who loves watching old musicals (like Hello Dolly!, the one that WALL-E is watching in the movie) and collecting little antique treasures that make me happy, this movie is such a comfort one for me. I'm sad that the world seems to be slowly forgetting those gems of artistic cinema, disregarding them as old and outdated, and forgetting the beautiful things that humans from an earlier time created and cherished before our time. This movie perfectly encapsulates my love for learning and remembering things from the past and appreciating the world we live in and who we are as human beings. And the fact that it took a little robot to help us see the truth of love and curiosity is kinda perfect and bittersweet.
