It was decided that people should leave earth for five years in a spaceship known as Starliner and leave behind robots to clean the waste. A company known as ‘Buy n Large’ purchases all the waste and puts thousands of robots known as WALL E. Due to the rising toxicity levels, all those WALL Es gradually became non functional and the only surviving WALL E goes on compacting wastes.

Even though it has a little dialogue, but it is sill notable for their animations, music, sound design etc. In this film, we can see the world through the machines and machines give more care about earth and life than a human being do. This film really captures the magic of the animation.
