WALL-E saves the world

WALL-E is an intriguing new computer-animated comedy set in space. Filled with humour, emotion and fantasy, the film takes viewers on a remarkable journey across the galaxy.

When humans are forced to abandon Earth due to an overflow of toxic pollution, WALL-E robots are left behind to clean up the mess. By the year 2815, only one WALL-E robot (voiced by Ben Burtt) remains operational.

WALL-E spends his time collecting spare robot parts and scraps. He even finds a plant seedling, which he replants and nurtures in an old boot.

One day WALL-E�s lonely life changes when he encounters Eve (Elissa Knight), a female robot sent to Earth from a spaceship with a human crew. Eve�s mission is to find out whether Earth has potential to become inhabited again.

Eve soon realises that WALL-E has inadvertently found the key to the planet�s future, while WALL-E himself has fallen in love with Eve.

When Eve rushes back to the giant luxury spaceship to give her human commanders the good news, WELL-E chases her across the galaxy and sets in motion events that will change the course of humanity.

Check out this unique and heart-warming adventure, when WALL-E hits cinemas on August 12.
