Fun fact: my parents believed walle to be completely silent so when they bought the film they bought it in Spanish from a guy selling DVDs on a beach while we were on holiday. This meant that the first ever time i watched walle it was completely in Spanish but it didnt matter because the film still make sense to a 9 year old because of the robots. Shows that the complete lack of speach was still able to tell an amazing story, and i think thats pretty neat

Watching the full scene of "Put Your Sunday Clothes" from _Hello Dolly_ after years of seeing the TV clip that Wall-E watched feels like my childhood is finally completed in peace. Pixar surely does have a good taste of musicals.

One thing that I'll always feel is kind of disturbing about this movie is that _the Axiom wasn't the only ship, but it is the only one that is ever seen to return to Earth._ In the hologram commercial at the beginning of the movie, we see an entire fleet take off at once. Just like Wall-E is the only Wall-E of many to survive and gain humanity, only one ship's worth of humans ever regain their humanity, and the rest presumably rot in space forevermore, unknowingly living in a _Black Mirror_ hell, forever growing dumber, fatter, and more atrophied, never even knowing there's anything more to life. Not only that, but since it can be assumed that every ship had an AUTO, it's likely that it was the same AI copy-pasted by BnL into every ship, and as a result, without an external force showing up to challenge it, it would most certainly succeed in it's goal of keeping the humans that way forever, all for their indefinite "survival." Humanity will survive forever, but most of it will never live.

WALL-E fun fact: Stanton got the inspiration for WALL·E’s design when someone handed him a pair of binoculars at a baseball game. “I missed the entire inning,” he recalled. “I just turned the thing around and I started staring at it and I started making it go sad and then happy and then mad and then sad and I remembered doing that as a kid with my dad’s binoculars and I said, ‘It’s all there.’”

I loved the first part of WALL-E where there is almost no dialogue. It's a nice throwback to silent films and shows a story can still be told without words coming at you at a hundred miles an hour.

When I was a kid the live action in the movie weirded me out in a way I couldn’t describe at the time, but with time I did learn that the feeling was what made the movie WORK for me. Not only does it do the “wow look how different the humans got so far away from their origins” but it also leans into the uncanny valley vibe to boost the isolation and dystopia of the story. Pixar does a great job of using style to keep us from falling into the valley in all of their movies, but seeing live action humans morph into Pixar humans through those pictures of the captains haunted me as a kid. Similarly, watching Pixar characters watch Hello Dolly on decaying, Jerry rigged technology provided a deep sense of loneliness that I hadn’t felt at that young age until then. It all felt… wrong, in a way that made the movie make an impact. And of course, Fred Willard did a great job in his role and is a very memorable character.

Exactly, the point of using live-action instead of just animating is to make us see ourselves. To show that this is our planet, and if we don't do a better job protecting it, it will become this way IRL. Dietrich Bonhoeffer said it best, "The ultimate test of a moral society is the kind of world it leaves its children", while Lady Bird Johnson said "The environment, after all, is where we all meet, where we all have a mutual interest. It is one thing that all of us share.”

Wall-E is my favorite Pixar film of all time! This was really well made and sheds into some light on relationships and the emotions that these characters feel. I love it, keep it up

not gonna lie: The portions and songs shown in this movie really did make me want to check out this movie when this movie came out and, one fine day when i went to my grandparents house: they had a copy on VHS in a bundle they were giving to us. I can't recall everything that happened in the movie but the songs and characters are just delightful.

“Nobody wants Happy Feet Humans.” Actually, maybe I’m the outlier, but the humans from Happy Feet were my favorite part of the whole film. ESPECIALLY the part where the Antarctic team starts dancing with him, and one slips and falls. I almost cried! Also, the little girl tapping on the tank reminded me of myself at that age, and how often we went to the zoo. I haven’t seen the movie in a while granted, but I remember really enjoying the way they incorporated that.

Wall-E is literally my favorite movie of all time. I loved the universe as a kid. I loved the love story as a teen. I loved the subtle themes and (maybe unintentional) deep events that happen all the time in the film. One of my favorites I noticed, is how the hover chairs were first shown as advanced wheelchairs for the disabled... Only for all humans to rely on them to get around. Perhaps this originally was because of the atrophy that the extended time in space caused, eventually humans only ever knew the hover chairs, despite their muscled getting used to the gravity and allowing them to walk again over the years. When John falls out of his chair, suddenly he realizes how artificial everything is. No one offering to help him up, the robots just redirecting traffic and telling him help will come *eventually.* This may be because originally they were programmed to go through every active chair to find where the fallen person was, but due to the sheer amount of active chairs, the process takes an absurdly long time. Wall-E instantly reaches out to help, pushing John back into his chair, changing his viewpoint forever. Also quick thing, how fucked up is this distopian future? A company owns the earth and acts as its leader. The ships used to *save* humanity are advertised as luxury cruise liners. And one time someone brought up to me that people probably sold themselves to BnL just to get on the ship. There is so much to unpack in this movie, and I know I will watch it all over again the first chance I get.

Wall-E was one of my favorite childhood movies, and it still holds up today!

Even to this day, i cry watching Wall-e.. it's my fav animated movie. Just thinking about a lonely robot left in a desolate world, is just the saddest thing. So it felt great when he found love in Eva~ The story telling is just so beautiful~ :')

Absolutely loved Wall-e as a kid, I remember just re-watching it over and over. Good ol memories.

Funnily enough I was talking about this to someone recently. Technically, WALL-E is a live-action film, or an interpretation of one anyway. All the live-action photos, the recorded messages, the BNL adverts in the DVD extras and the musical WALL-E watches are from centuries before when the film is actually set. Everyone's just deteriorated into weird blob-Humans over the last 700 years or so, and now look so different to how they started, they look like they're animated.

Wall-E is my favourite Pixar film, I just love how beautiful the visuals, story, relationships, music, god the music and visuals, the characters, and just everything about it including the lack of dialogue and comedy is just amazing

I love the live action scenes. They make wall-e feel grounded and make me realize our modern era will one day be history.

The beginning of Walle is absolutely magical. When you were explaining how he was singing to the stars I got goosebumps and started tearing up! ❤

I thought every part of this masterpiece had been converted by essayists, but once again Eddie provides a new, brilliant, analysis!

The fact both plots A and B are so good and harmoniously unionized makes the movie so much better cause both independently are perfect but the fact they lead into each other makes this a masterpiece of storytelling

I actually started tearing up when I heard the little tune of Put On Your Sunday Clothes. I suppose I haven't seen Wall-E in a hot second, but just hearing that little tune sent me back to 2009 when I would watch the film all the time. I'd even play the video game that was made shortly after the film released. Damn, nostalgia hit me like a freight train.

Touch is the humanity that we cannot break, being as close as two human beings might ever be. To reach out and hold somebody like the whole world can't tear us apart.

My Disney+ show pitch is the story of what happened to the other ships in the BnL fleet - basically a bunch of Snowpiercers and Fallout Vaults... for kids! I mean the original had literal class sections after hundreds of years, but seemingly little practical difference between people except for a single figurehead. What if that... wasn't the case on other ships, with class struggles and security bots being used to maintain order and place. For Kids!

Thanks a lot. Now I have the "Hello Dolly" soundtrack as a sticky earworm. My sis used to play the 8-track over and over and OVER!

Another certified hood classic

1:24 Inside of Kingdom Hearts 3s Toy Story world you can spot a Pixar label on Buzz’s foot, so the answer is for some reason yes.

Wall-E, my favorite Pixar film of all time, and in my opinion, the best one they've ever done.

wall-e is genuinely my favorite movie of all time, great video man

One thing I want to note: the quote “I don’t want to survive! I want to live!” is one of the clearest examples of what makes a family movie a FAMILY movie and not a kid’s movie. Kids will laugh that the captain’s confusion making his speech less sensical (I certainly did), but as an adult you hear this and go “Wow, that’s deep.” This should be more common in films, especially animated films. Pixar has sadly lost its way

Definitely a fascinating aspect of the film.

1:04 I just found this vid and you mentioning the queen now feels surreal in a neutral way.

You have no idea how much I love watching your video essays. A few months ago I was in a habit of putting your videos on to fall asleep too and now, while I'm super sick from stress, I'm re-re-re-rewatching them. I love you eddache and when I get enough money, ill subscribe to your patreon. ❤❤❤❤

Never realized how odd it really was for them to use live action in WALL-E. Probably the only animation movie I've ever seen where that happens like that

I'd always kind of assumed that the live action was for a sense of "now" and "then", but I think having it as a display of humanity on top of that also makes sense.

My all time favorite pixar movie. Really shaped my love for all things space, robots, and sentient AI.

Was so excited to see a Wall-E video, it's my favorite movie of all time, great video!

Eddache always delivers a good vid

What about the fact that Wall-e is clearly cut from the same cloth as Johnny 5, just a newer / more compact model? Is Wall-e from the same universe as Short Circuit ?🤔

The opening of WALL-E being mostly wordless except for the BnL Advertisements actually really reminds me of the Charlie Chaplin film _Modern Times_ where Charlie Chaplin plays the role of a factory worker. In _Modern Times_, you never hear Charlie Chaplin or anyone he's in the scene with talk, but you _do_ hear speech coming from artificial sources, like some kind of television P.A. system and a vinyl record with instructions for some wacky sci-fi gadget to feed workers their lunch. I'm sure it's not coincidence, _WALL-E_ and _Modern Times_ both have a number of similarities, they both critique capitalism and the systems that uphold it, they both feature a working-class person just trying to navigate the world and do nice things for others, and they both have the protagonist meet a cute girl and fall madly in love. Difference is, though, that _WALL-E_ doesn't have the protagonist do cocaine in prison

This movie made me cry, and I feel no shame in saying that

My love for WALL-E is what brought me to KZfaq back in 2008! And from there, discovering LEGO Stop Motion vids of WALL-E, and from there, the rest is history!

It also needs to be noted the Gene Kelley he's speaking of is the master tap dancer, actor, singer from films like 'Singin In The Rain' and 'An American In Paris'. I love that a near half-century after his heyday, Gene had two pivotal ways to impact millennials and beyond - Cats Don't Dance (His last credit was as a consultant for the animated choreography of that 1996 animated film), and years after his passing - WALL-E!

I was a big Hello Dolly fan before seeing Wall-e and i vividly remember how i felt at that opening shot of space with Michael Crawford singing. Perfectly sets the emotional tone for the film.

On the "does Toy Story exist in Toy Story?" The answer is yes. In Toy Story Racer on the PS1, one of the maps has in-universe ads for the movie

WALL-E is one of my favorite movies of all time, and it always makes me cry.

I was initially distinterested in this subject, but fuck me Ed this is one of your best videos! Well done mate

THANK YOU FOR TALKING ABOUT THIS FACT ITS ALWAYS GONE SO UNDERRATED THAT THE LIVE ACTION SCENES HELP THE AUDIENCE RELATE TO THE UNIVERSE

The algorithms bought me to you and I'm stoked! Can't wait to check out more of your videos!

Absolutely loved wall e and I learned so much in this thank you again!

your surf shark add is the BEST creator made ad I have ever seen. amazing..truly inspired by great classic comedy--- brilliantly done. nice job

The toy story movies definitely exist within Toy Story. You don't even need to make any logical leaps. When they pull the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command The Adventure Begins VHS into Andy's room, the box art has the toy story logo on it

thank you eddie for another great video

Eddie, I really wish I could craft videos as well as you do. seriously, you're amazing. I find it so hard to even hit 'publish' with videos like your own in existence...

Wall-e in two sentences 1st part:Fallout 4 then he finds a plant 2st part:wall e goes to a spaceship and saves the humans race.

This is my favorite movie of all time, thank you for making a video about it Edd :)

Of course, though, we can't ignore the modern sequel to this movie: DALL-E Mini. Okay, it's only in the name inspiration, but still.

Wall-E is my favorite Pixar Movie. I saw a bit of Hello Dolly in High School before seeing Wall-E, but didn't know how it ended. Luckily my school did it my senior year. It was a lot of fun to be in, even if I was only in the chorus. Put on Your Sunday Clothes quickly became my favorite song. So upbeat and fun. No wonder Wall-E took a liking to it.

Genuinely have goosebumps after watching this, such an incredible film and an amazing video about it

So, the strangest thing is that I love this movie and have watched it MANY times and not until now did I even notice that it was live action inside of animation!

The ending with the look at the stars amd then the movies stars gave me chills

wall-e is one of my favorite films ever, i think the live action scenes were a great addition, it wouldn't be the same without those, specially the vintage songs; they fit so well in a post apocalyptic world, because they create a feel about how everything could have been, instead of those nigstmarish ruins towering over the black sky

Well there goes the space time continuum with Eddache’s questioning of Pixar withing Pixar

Possibly the smoothest transition into an ad sponsor I've ever seen. Well fuckin' done!

It's the comedy, heart, and research that brings me back to you again and again.

1:13 Coco also includes El Santo! The original great luchador! Dude was so famous in Mexico that the Mexican government ran his funeral. Insane how popular he was. It extended to TV, movies, and even toys.

I like how Willard's president character is modelled on Reagan as a metaphor for unregulated capitalism

I really loved this movie. I have it on DVD. It might be a bit skips, as it stops for a moment. But it's still good to watch.

Wall-E is my favourite Pixar movie. Every time I re-watched it, I just loved it more.

To me it felt like watching a live action cutscene from a videogame, like Myst or C&C.

6:30 Was pleasantly surprised to see one of my favorite episodes of my favorite Disney cartoon used as an example!

I know this is literally a blip of a point compared to the rest of the video... but.. I'm so confused why there are so many polarizing opinions about Happy Feet cropping up lately.. It's one of my favorite movies and I've heard four dif youtubers I watch bring it up semi-recently, saying they either love it or hate it? Even Kojima brought it up somewhat recently in a Twitter thread to praise it (alongside other works by George Miller, where he kept referring to him as "God") I get it, it's a weird fucking movie with a lot of stuff that doesn't usually mesh well. It treats its themes as being grand, earnest, and serious, which it delivers in a surprisingly nuanced way, but on it's surface, it's literally a silly, weirdly sexually charged jukebox musical about dancing penguins....but that's kinda one of the biggest reasons why I love it. It's just so odd. I've got lots of other reasons for liking it but.. I also get why it's not gonna be everyone's cup of tea, since it IS so strange. I guess I'm just wondering like.. what happened to bring this movie to the forefront recently?

That psychedelic mind blow scene deserves and Oscar for editing damn dude looked sick

i like how you managed to talk about the pretty meaty topics in the film without sounding pretentious and also not spending half an hour to convey it

I think the use of live action for the Buy and Large CEO does a brilliant job of like, getting the warning and message of the movie across a lot more than an animated human would, because we’re seeing a real live person talk about it, not just a computer animated one.

I think some people make the mistake of assuming wall-e is anti technology (which is dumb considering the main characters are robots), since it’s actually anti-consumerism (and possible anti-capitalism) not anti-technology

Another certified music classic

i love this film so much, im so glad people still talk about it :)

2:42 i love how he talks about his hat first implying that he cares more about the hat than the actual breaking news

The live action portions were a little weird to first see as a kid, but I literally gave it that one thought and didn’t question it much after that. To me it kinda made sense. These people evolved to not needing to use their bodies as much for mobility and lack any physical activity. The blob-like bodies seems to track, though I guess by that logic, they should also be lacking in teeth by that point considering they drink all their food eventually.

Wall-e just isn't the same without the weird live action sequences, the one scene makes it creepier.

Eddache is one of the few youtubers i watch who make the sponsor segments truly as entertaining as the main content the other big name i can say makes good sponsors is Caddicarus ...the Brits might be onto something

I love Wall e what a cute robot especially this scene 0:54

This use of live action segments always perplexed me when I watched it as a kid

great job

They made me feel nostalgic for songs older than my parents

Eddy being a car furry (don’t have a better word for it.. Motörhead?) is the best part of this video

Wall-E is hands down one of Disney/Pixar's greatest love stories

"Cars features my different Sonas, such as The Queen!" Me, with Tf2's Medic's voice: *SHE'S DEAD!!!🤯"*

ok that sponsored bit made me cackle thanks for the laugh eddy lol

I watched walk-e 14 times in 1 trip when I was a kid. I loved Wall-e as a kid

Tbh i loved the surfshark ad that was great

that whole thing you did about pixar within pixar is actually a pretty big theory by The Theorizer. Its a great set of videos. Basically its like an infinite loop of pixar within pixar trying to unite all the universes. hard to explain.

5:34 Toy story 3 didn't came out in 2007, it was 2010. Ratatouille came out in 2007.

1:23 - 1:26 Kind of? During the scene where Ham is flicking through the tv channels in Toy Story 2 the old Pixar logo can be seen for a brief second

Eddache killed the Queen in the Cars universe

To me the live action Wall-e shows how much human / Humanity has changed in the movie

I've watched the film's audio commentary several times, so I already know the answer to this question.

The what reference was very appreciated. Great video lowkey wall-E scared me as a kid now it scares me still but not the film it’s how accurate to the future it appears to be maybe not the space stuff exactly but the point is made.

I saw Hello Dolly long before WALL-E came out, and loved it. So now every time I see WALL-E (which I also love), it makes me want to watch Hello Dolly again.

Jesus that cosmic coincidence bought tears to my eyes
