The pollution part was probably the worst and not even saying that because it was a bad message. It's just a bit... corny.
Almost everything else about the story was executed better. The robot romance... The anti-hedonist message... It's been a while since I've seen it so I bet there's more if you wanna wank it.

pollution = excessive waste
Yes, it's wrong. Deal with it.

Excuse me?

Don't litter, OP.

How was it corny? It was a realistic excuse for why the world was fucked and humans had to find a new one, and why someone like WALL-E would be doing his job hundreds and hundreds of years later. IMO the first bits of the film where it's just him doing his thing on a long-ruined planet was better than the rest of it

Yes?

WALL-E was released at the tail end of a long period of increase in environmental awareness, and the way it presented its ideas bordered on a parody of previous environmentally conscience media. Everything from the scale of the disaster (plant life no longer grows on the surface) to the utter ignorance of the contemporaneous human population ("this is a p-l-a-n-t") is taken to an extreme. To cap it all off the ending is bloated with unearned emotional weight

But it is tho?
Charles Smith
Eh, I don't find it any more farfetched than The Day After Tomorrow. Also IIRC the earliest idea of the film came up around the 90s so the environmentalism could've just be incidental

>of a long period of increase in environmental awareness
and yet humans have learned anything since then, showing that even with hamfisted messages like this movie it was still not enough
>Everything from the scale of the disaster (plant life no longer grows on the surface)
which is fairly realistic considering the route we're going to take with our planet. The question is not If, but When it will happen
>to the utter ignorance of the contemporaneous human population ("this is a p-l-a-n-t")
dude, watch young adults and teenagers react to movies from 2000 or before, and be ready to be shocked to see what they didn't know just happened 20 years ago "Wow, they had such cgi in 2005?". People are retarded
>To cap it all off the ending is bloated with unearned emotional weight
Oh, I get it, you're just a retard. You could have lead with that
Jace Moore
The fact that the message still has relevance doesn't make the presentation less corny you milk sucking goblin boy
The WALL-E scenario is grounded in comparison to The Day after Tomorrow
Benjamin Thompson
Mankind no longer needing Earth is objectively a good thing
Cooper Roberts
It literally is dumbfuck.
Dylan Hernandez
So true!

But it is bad you dumb shit.

Why didn't they just find another planet if they could hyperspeed?
Instead they float around in space, rushing back only to a waterless wasteland.
David Harris
Because the voyage was made with the intention to return shortly after the bots cleaned up the planet
If we're being real, it's pretty unrealistic that the entirety of the passengers who boarded just accepted being kept in luxurious limbo for the rest of their lives and didn't take action about their fate when more time passed than they expected without returning home. Clearly we're not meant to put much thought into the Axiom and its passengers though (Think of the scene that demonstrates how much garbage they spit out at such an enormous rate, they've been doing that for centuries? Where's the fresh material coming from?)
