WALL-E: It sounds like a dare: Make a movie about global environmental collapse that incorporates obscure songs from a 1960s musical. Oh, and your main character? A rusty trash compactor. But 'WALL-E' ranks as one of Pixar's most amazing creative achievements, and its hero kicks R2D2 to the curb as science fiction's most adorable rolling robot. After hundreds of years alone on a garbage-strewn Earth, WALL-E and his pet cockroach get a visitor when the robotic EVE is sent on a scouting mission to see if the planet has recovered enough to support life. (What's left of humanity is floating on an endless pleasure cruise in space.) WALL-E is instantly smitten, and their nearly silent courtship is one of the sweetest romances in recent cinematic memory. Extras: Two animated shorts - the new 'BURN-E,' and 'Presto,' a madcap battle between a magician and his rabbit; deleted scenes; and audio commentary from director Andrew Stanton ('Finding Nemo').
