9th Place: WALL.E- 9 Votes [30%]


WALL-E (stylized with an interpunct as WALL·E) is a 2008 American computer-animated comedy science fiction film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and directed by Andrew Stanton. The story follows a robot named WALL-E, who is designed to clean up an abandoned, waste-covered Earth far in the future. He falls in love with another robot named EVE, who also has a programmed task, and follows her into outer space on an adventure that changes the destiny of both his kind and humanity. Both robots exhibit an appearance of free will and emotions similar to humans, which develop further as the film progresses.

After directing Finding Nemo, Stanton felt Pixar had created believable simulations of underwater physics and was willing to direct a film set largely in space. WALL-E has minimal dialogue in its early sequences; many of the characters do not have voices, but instead communicate with body language and robotic sounds, which were designed by Ben Burtt. It is also Pixar's first animated feature with segments featuring live-action characters.

WALL-E was met with critical acclaim, scoring an approval rating of 96% on the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. It grossed $521.3 million worldwide, won the 2008 Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Feature Film, the 2009 Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation, Long Form, the final Nebula Award for Best Script, the Saturn Award for Best Animated Film, and the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature as well as being nominated for five other Academy Awards at the 81st Academy Awards. WALL-E ranks first in TIME '​s "Best Movies of the Decade". The film is seen as a critique on larger societal issues. It addresses consumerism, corporatism, nostalgia, environmental problems, waste management, the immense impact humans have on the Earth, and risks to human civilization and its home planet Earth.
WALL-E grossed $223,808,164 in the USA and Canada and $297,503,696 overseas for a worldwide total of $521,311,860, making it the ninth highest grossing film of 2008.

In the US and Canada, it opened in 3,992 theaters on June 27, 2008. During its opening weekend, it topped the box office with $63,087,526 which is the fifth-best opening weekend for a Pixar film and the fourth-best opening among films released in June. The movie earned $94.7 million in its first week and crossed the $200 million mark during its sixth weekend.

WALL-E grossed over $10 million in Japan ($44,005,222), UK, Ireland and Malta ($41,215,600), France and the Maghreb region ($27,984,103), Germany ($24,130,400), Mexico ($17,679,805), Spain ($14,973,097), Australia ($14,165,390), Italy ($12,210,993) and Russia and the CIS ($11,694,482

Terrible people! This is so LOVED on Buzzjack, yet 9 fools succeeded in eliminating it. Congrats.

UP again.

Um, wow, WALL-E is one of Pixar's best a really great and quite scary in a way considering it's theme, which is admirable for a movie primarily aimed at children.

Went for The Incredibles again.

(A Bug's Life again)

Up, up and OUT

(glad to see the back of Wall-E, truly a movie of two wildly different halves)

Posted by: Liаm 22nd February 2015, 07:23 PM

Wall-E is terribly boring. I never have the desire to see it again.

Posted by: Jonjo 22nd February 2015, 07:48 PM

Ew. Worst result possible.

I'm voting 'The Incredibles' again.

Posted by: Dobbo 22nd February 2015, 07:52 PM

Up's time is... (yeah you get it).

After/if that went that would leave a pretty solid top 7, I'd put The Incredibles as the weakest of a great bunch.

Up should be up next

Posted by: M¤th 22nd February 2015, 08:42 PM

STILL A Bug Life's for me. I like 'Up' but it's definitely my third-least-favorite of what's left (after the former and 'The Incredibles')

A Bug's Life...

Wall-E and Up both so much better than A Bug's Life.

Posted by: richie 23rd February 2015, 11:32 AM

Well, you did kick out Ratatouille - I'd call Wall-E's demise revenge for that!

Posted by: Cody Slayberry 24th February 2015, 01:52 AM

Whoever voted for Wall-E, I will get you banned.

Posted by: Jonjo 24th February 2015, 02:00 AM

I honestly thought 'Up' and 'Wall•E' were much more loved on here than they actually are! Buzzjack have messed up Pixar tastes

Posted by: Jonjo 28th February 2015, 03:27 PM

Oh no a tie between 'Finding Nemo' and 'A Bugs Life'...

Quick. Someone break the tie, by voting 'A Bugs Life'...
