WALL-E (short for Waste Allocation Load Lifter: Earth-Class) is the main protagonist of the 2008 Disney/Pixar animated film of the same name.
In the year 2110, rising toxicity levels make life unsustainable on Earth. After
all the humans leave Earth aboard giant spaceships, millions of WALL-E robots and a lesser number of mobile incinerators are left behind to clean up the dirty planet. But after 700 years only one operational WALL-E (N. 62675) is still hard at work, blissfully unaware of the futility of his situation.
One day, EVE, a sleek (and dangerous) reconnaissance robot, is sent to Earth to find proof that life is once again sustainable. WALL-E falls in love with EVE. WALL-E shows her a living plant he found amongst the rubble. Consistent with her “directive”, EVE takes the plant and automatically enters a deactivated state except for a blinking green beacon.
One day a massive ship comes to reclaim EVE, but WALL-E, out of love or loneliness, hitches a ride on the outside of the ship to rescue EVE. The ship arrives back at a large space cruise ship, which is carrying all the humans who evacuated Earth 700 years earlier. The people of Earth are dependent on technology and ride around this space resort on hovering chairs which give them a constant feed of TV and video chatting. They drink all their meals through a straw out of laziness and are all so fat that they can barely move. When the auto-pilot computer, acting on hastily given instructions sent many centuries before, tries to prevent the people of Earth from returning by stealing the plant, WALL-E, EVE, the portly captain, and a band of broken robots stage a mutiny, override the computer programme and return the ship to earth.
