WALL-E: A World Without Us

alternet.org — Stores are overfilling with WALL-E merchandise that will soon clog our landfills. Yet this new Disney movie bills itself as pro-environment.

  • borez, on 07/02/2008, -12/+26Tragic irony really.
    • VirtualSobriety, on 07/03/2008, -5/+4It is neither tragic nor ironic, it is a kids movie...

      Better submit this before my three evil step sisters and their seven creepy midgets come and try to shoot my mom while I sing songs about how everything in life is *****!
      • mohsenxp, on 07/03/2008, -1/+0Its sad your comment has been burried.
        I mean most digg users must not be able to distinguish a kids movie and a renowned documentary on the most important issues facing us and our planet!
        Very stupid and shouldn't be on Digg at all.
    • pilot3033, on 07/03/2008, -2/+10To say WALL-E is an environmental movie is a gross overstatement. It's a love story with a post-apocalypse setting. Not, "An Inconvenient Truth FOR KIDS!"
    • TheSuperunknown, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1There was a comment on The Consumerist with regards to this that I really liked:
      "I don't think Disney's promotional material is part of a grander social commentary -- I think the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing. I also think this film is Pixar's way of basically telling the world it is semi-ashamed to be part of Disney."
      http://consumerist.com/tag/walle/?i=5021173&t=#c64 ...

      I wouldn't be surprised.
    • tms8707056, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1You silly Digger... You must have thought that Pixar was trying to promote a message. Wrong. They are a corporation... who makes very good movies. Corporations do not care about anything but money! If anything they are riding the wave of profit caused by "Global Warming" fear mongering.
    • rpgmaker, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1"Stores are overfilling with WALL-E merchandise that will soon clog our landfills. Yet this new Disney movie bills itself as pro-environment."
      Don't they know how Disney works?
  • reyoo30309, on 07/02/2008, -20/+15The real kicker is I hear its anti-capitalism... so shouldn't they technically be showing us this movie for free?
    • MavRevMatt, on 07/02/2008, -1/+16Pixar might think that but I'm sure Disney doesn't...
    • Berkana, on 07/03/2008, -0/+28It is not anti-capitalism as far as I can tell; what it mocks is corporatism by the use of a caricature of the mega corporation with virtually governmental power that tries to sell you everything without regard for your health or for the well being of the environment. "Buy 'n Large", the giant corporation in the movie, appears to be some sort of cross between Halliburton, Monsanto, ADM, and Walmart. The government seems to have been supplanted by the singular monopolistic corporation, which runs everyone's lives from cradle to grave.

      The movie is excellent. The story is very touching. I didn't think a love story about two robots could be so moving.
      • PiffanyB, on 07/03/2008, -12/+2Robots loving? I'd be more worried about how the hell us humans are gone and yet robots are loving each other. Makes you stop and think they got rid of us!
      • RobotLeAwesome, on 07/03/2008, -6/+5You obviously haven't seen the movie, shush.
      • Lukesed, on 07/03/2008, -1/+2It better be good, look where it is on IMDB:
        http://www.imdb.com/chart/top
      • adventuresof, on 07/03/2008, -1/+2Buy 'n' Large was mostly just a Wal*mart parody- Why throw Halliburton, Monsanto, and ADM into the mix?
      • KMartSheriff, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1I'm pretty sure Buy 'n Large is supposed to be Cost Co/Sam's Club.
    • fuzzmeister, on 07/03/2008, -2/+9If you've ever seen The Incredibles, which is essentially an objectivist manifesto, I somehow doubt that Pixar is, on the whole, anti-capitalist.
    • DuffyDirect, on 07/03/2008, -0/+4Maybe university English departments shouldn't be charging tuition and cramming Marxist philosophy down our throats neither.

      Not saying I'm against the philosophy, just pointing out that bastions of art and education are commercialized to the brim and hypocritical about it...
      • Ramble, on 07/03/2008, -0/+2I doubt English departments deal with politics or economics too much.
      • DuffyDirect, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1I'm a docotral student in English and I've had to quite a bit (it's kind of the specialization of my particular department, I can't speak for the field in general). Marxism is one of the key schools of literary criticism and it branches off into dozens of sub-disciplines, though. You'll look at say a Carribean or South American novel, for example, and critique the economic depravity shown in the novel (fruit company capitalism, yada yada) and use Marx as your critical "lens" in order to get a reading from the book different than what you might have originally thought using just your own value system (or using Freudian methods, post-structural methods, etc. etc.)

        Yeah, it sucks (and it's really boring).
    • billbugger, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1did you read the article? they basically did. it's like reading an abridged version of the movie.
    • Jordan117, on 07/03/2008, -0/+5It's not so much anti-capitalism as it is anti-consumption and anti-conformist.
    • IVillageIdiot, on 07/03/2008, -1/+1Anti-capitalism, multi-national, blah, blah, blah... is fodder for the rubes, it's not actually real.

      Halliburton, Walmart, blah, blah, blah... it isn't real either, it's a foil for the Dups who don't realize that they will all-of-a-sudden become the "Good Guys" as soon as they capitulate and Unionize.

      (HEY!! Wasn’t Hillary on the board of WalMart when it was holding all it’s workers by the throat and exploiting them into oblivion??????? Oh yeah she was….!)

      Fat cat union bosses making millions in pay and bennies need to skim some more off the top to keep the ball rolling during the down turns. Once the Hold-Outs fall, the propaganda will stop and all these idiots will be standing there with their thumbs stuck in the "darkness", "We were told they were evil, what do you mean they're Ok now!??!?!??!?"

      Hilarious, what a college "education" can do to an otherwise functioning mind.

      Call it “Science”, reinforce the Sophisticated nature of the lunacy, stick and carrot the grades, denounce and ridicule the competitors (IE religion), and you have EXACTLY the same educations mechanism the Soviets used to create millions of good little Marxist the world over.
  • serif69, on 07/02/2008, -17/+60Wait, something that claims to be pro-environment is really just a facade for making money? You don't say!
    • rolawson, on 07/03/2008, -0/+15It never made that claim.
    • jetblackz4, on 07/03/2008, -2/+4Al Gore managed to rake in 100 million last year. They may be on to something.
      After all, green is the color of money
    • tjmb9, on 07/03/2008, -0/+7IT IS A MOVIE. ITS A MOVIE!!!!
    • kjajames, on 07/03/2008, -0/+0I bought a Wall-E poster :) But I don't hate the environment.
  • nico623, on 07/02/2008, -2/+3Lets make the dream a reality !
  • Haoie, on 07/02/2008, -3/+49How ironic would it be, if in the future, a real trash bot cleans up abandoned old Wall-E toys on a deserted Earth.
    • tdogg241, on 07/03/2008, -2/+3I thought that was totally a missed opportunity in the film. Should have had him clean up a Nemo or Buzz Lightyear figure.
    • Goombellaofgoom, on 07/03/2008, -0/+2Nah, he'd save a Buzz toy, because it makes neat noises.


      (BTW, kudos for using "ironic" correctly)
    • jabelar, on 07/03/2008, -0/+3Actually, he had both the pig and the dinosaur from Toy Story in his collection of garbage. Also the Pizza Planet truck is shown abandoned in one scene. So they were self-referential.
  • espritprv36, on 07/02/2008, -5/+122I wish people would stop associating Disney with Pixar. Pixar writes all their own amazing stories and has numerous great productions. The fact that Disney has bought the right to stick their label on it doesn't mean they're the same thing.
    • superkendall, on 07/03/2008, -16/+16Dude, they are totally the same company. Lassiter works directly overseeing Disney's animation division now now (and that god for that!)! Disney did not "buy the right to stick a label on", they BOUGHT PIXAR.
      • aarku, on 07/03/2008, -1/+5Pixar is a subsidiary of Disney. Why the hell digg parent down? It's correct. Look it up.....
      • DuffyDirect, on 07/03/2008, -1/+3So you're being dugg down for pointing out a fact? Weird.
      • KMartSheriff, on 07/03/2008, -0/+5Superkendall, here's a thought: try getting your facts straight before spewing *****.

        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixar

        "Lasseter and Catmull's oversight of both the Disney and Pixar studios did not mean that the two studios were merging, however. In fact, additional conditions were laid out as part of the deal to ensure that Pixar remained a separate entity, a concern that analysts had about the Disney deal."
  • shoeshinecs, on 07/03/2008, -0/+55The director stated he did not have an environmental agenda.
    • xxMarka, on 07/03/2008, -2/+19Did anyone else notice the "stay the course" quote?
      I noticed that immediately and thought it was funny
      • DuffyDirect, on 07/03/2008, -0/+8I'm 100% sure that Karl Rove pulled the whole "Stay the Course!" slogan from the Mel Gibson film "The Patriot"... After one of Gibson's character's sons die, he decides to call it quits from the American Revolution and return to what's left of his family, but Light Horse Harry implores him to "Stay the course!" and then he rides around with the flag and uses the flag as a spear to single-handedly wipe out the British dragoons in some pitched battle.

    • chispito, on 07/03/2008, -3/+5Yeah, I have no idea where WALL-E ever "bills itself as pro-environment." Further, I can't stand tripe like this that views humanity as some sort of plague upon the earth.

      The earth is ours to take care of as well as to develop. We just need to do so responsibly.
      • Smuikas, on 07/03/2008, -1/+4Well, we aren't being very responsible.....

  • Asheis, on 07/03/2008, -5/+123jesus people! enjoy the ***** movie! that's all it is!!! I don't remember it being marketed as an environmentalist movie and while it does have a message to it, that by no means overpowers the movie!

    Wall-E is just a fun movie, for christs sake.
    • Noiremorte, on 07/03/2008, -2/+18***** seriously, and this is coming from an evironmentalist. Get a grip, Alternet!
    • MavRevMatt, on 07/03/2008, -0/+4I enjoyed it as a movie, I just thought there has to be some meaning behind it. Pixar doesn't just make a movie to make a movie, they've always got a story to tell.
    • danz32, on 07/03/2008, -5/+2While I agree that its a fun movie and we shouldn't read into the politics, did they really have to make the President look similar to Bush and use the words "stay the course"? I don't think so
    • Negyxo, on 07/03/2008, -0/+2It's also really a sci-fi movie. And just about ALL sci-fi depicts a future that could follow from current trends. Everyone needs to chill out over this...
    • jabelar, on 07/03/2008, -2/+2How can you say that a movie about trash filling the planet and humans captive to big box retail consumerism is anything but an environmental movie?
  • cambob76, on 07/03/2008, -4/+5Very irony-y.
  • DoctorX, on 07/03/2008, -3/+22Pixar is about movies, not merchandising. That is the domain of the irony-impaired studio bean-counters.
  • mach32, on 07/03/2008, -5/+12some people just need to get a life. digg has just about become a landfill itself..

    • Uberinuka, on 07/04/2008, -0/+0sorry uneccessary double post
    • jasonXhendrix, on 07/24/2008, -0/+1Was your first post necessary to begin with?
  • superkendall, on 07/03/2008, -2/+11Why are you buying things and then putting them in a landfill, is what I want to know.

    Aren't the toys far better off in closets, away from any light and possibility the packaging could get creased or dented?
  • RobotLeAwesome, on 07/03/2008, -9/+1uh, duh - it's DISNEY.
  • ghaltmann, on 07/03/2008, -5/+81Hey guys lets take something that's cool and bash it for popularity sake.

    Wall-E was a great movie. I don't see you living in a mud hut eating off your own farm. Shut the hell up.
    • ajv570, on 07/03/2008, -6/+3You do know your on the internet right
  • GramarNazi, on 07/03/2008, -4/+14Making and selling toys to children is not the same thing as polluting the earth.

    And the movie wasn't anti-capitalistic, it was just satirizing our over-dependance on it.
  • fuzzmeister, on 07/03/2008, -0/+14You know, why don't we just not make anything at all? Then we would never have to throw anything away! In fact, we can all just curl up and die, the Earth would be better off that way.

    Sigh... while I'm all for helping the environment, some people need to realize that having a perfect little world where no one wastes anything is just not going to happen.
  • seantubridy, on 07/03/2008, -10/+3Maybe Disney should send out big envelopes with pre-paid postage to all purchasers of Wall-E merchandise to send back to them to be recycled when kids are done playing with them. Yeah, that'll happen.
  • RBrenner14, on 07/03/2008, -11/+3DISN-E is a good CMPN-E
  • schmuckman99, on 07/03/2008, -9/+0Haha I already heard this idea, no this jerkass did not think of it himself. Wow what an fn genius
  • biggerapple3am, on 07/03/2008, -2/+11Anyone who says the movie itself is bad because Disney is selling merchandise is a moron. The fact is, no animated movie geared for the family could reach an audience that WALL-E does without selling a lot of merchandise. Now, do you want that movie to be well-written, beautifully animated, and have a positive (albeit simplified) message? Go bitch about the 20 other ***** animated movies that are coming out that will also sell merchandise.
    • DuffyDirect, on 07/03/2008, -0/+2I remember being a kid and absolutely miserable because there were no decent Star Wars toys around until the series got popular again in the mid-90s. Kids like the merchandise too, you know. I wouldn't want some fat swine on Digg going to toy stores like Carrie Nation and bashing toys apart screaming "GLOBAL WARMING MUST BE STOPPED! ***** BUSH!!!"
    • mattcc42, on 07/04/2008, -0/+0Amen brother
  • estacado, on 07/03/2008, -1/+20Come on, don't be such a tight ass. Kids shouldn't have toys now?
  • digdug135, on 07/03/2008, -8/+2Move to Russia, you commie.
    • Berkana, on 07/03/2008, -1/+3In case your mind has malfunctioned, let me remind you that Russia is no longer communist.
  • ZenMojo, on 07/03/2008, -8/+3Obviously no one here saw Hercules. A movie about the perils of over-merchandising and over-exposure spawned a toy-line with nine separate versions of the hero, five of which just had a different weapon. Disney can't conceive irony.
    • DuffyDirect, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1I will go the distance!
      • mimigins, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1I will beat the odds!
      • DuffyDirect, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part
        For a hero's strength is measured by his heart
  • swrostmore, on 07/03/2008, -0/+10Evidence that WALL-E "bills itself as pro-environment?" Come on, alternet, you're better than this.
  • thestranger, on 07/03/2008, -1/+3Yes, because lords knows the writers and animators of this movie are not aloud to use allegories for anything that contradicts the company they work for. Also I am sure the people that wrote this, "were like yea then we will give it positive message, then WE will make tons of merch and sell it!hahah"

    Seriously, I can't write a story that criticizes my work place or the school I go to because, I work there or attend? That doesn't make any sense.

    Oh, so what does the company that makes and puts out have to do with the story and message itself (whether its bad or good) nothing...nothing at all.
  • Darkan, on 07/03/2008, -0/+5The author of this article is a moron. Wall-E is a great movie, and to read too much into it is stupid.
  • Brian48216, on 07/03/2008, -0/+3Pretty sure people are looking for something that isn't there; and/or the baseless disdain for the "green movement"

    Perhaps the broadest moral of the story was simply, don't be lazy.

    It's like you people have never seen Bambi/Fern Gully/Hercules/Pinnochio/Dumbo/Cinderella/Aladdin/, etc etc. They have very broad "moral" messages, because it's characteristic of a lot of fairy tales. But you can easily turn that moral into a political statement if you wanted to.
  • punkcat, on 07/03/2008, -1/+2"As satisfying as this anti-corporate and anti-consumerist theme is, it's hard to take too seriously."

    yep thats kids movies for ya. you may even laugh.
  • rolawson, on 07/03/2008, -1/+8AFAIK the Disney corporation had no part in this movie other than promotion and distribution; therefore the makers of Wall-E != Disney.

    Further, the movie never claimed to be "pro-environment" or "anti-capitalism" and never marketed itself as such for any sort of agenda; stop tacking on labels to it.
    • KMartSheriff, on 07/03/2008, -0/+2Amen. ***** the Digg bandwagon.
  • PWoT, on 07/03/2008, -0/+13Environmentalists like the author here are what kill the movement; instead of looking for sustainability and balance with nature, they see mankind as a cancer that must be killed if nature is to survive.

    I don't know about you, but the reason I'm for the environment is because I want it to be a nice place for humans to live forever, not because I think it's a war between nature and man that I want humanity to lose.

    I am one, after all. I believe the author is too.
    • AnonthePyro, on 07/03/2008, -0/+3Dugg for well-written comment.
    • DuffyDirect, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1I remember in Civilization Call to Power the Environmentalist terrorist unit would wipe out everything cities, roads, farms, etc. and take like millions of people down with him, lol...
    • KMartSheriff, on 07/03/2008, -0/+3I hate the sensationalists too. Instead of finding a way to fix things they just spew "humans should all die. we are mother earth's poison. the sky is falling blah blah blah".
  • Berkana, on 07/03/2008, -4/+2Disney does lack a sense of Irony: they have that "Pirates of the Caribbean" ride where they show pirates hanging by their necks from gallows and languishing in dungeons after laying waste to coastal towns, implying the moral lesson upon the young ones that one should not be a ***** pirate. . . then they let you out into a merchandise shop where you then see the kids with scimitars and flint-lock pistols in hand, pirate hats and eye patches, saying "Mommy, mommy, I want to be a pirate!" Seriously, what gives?
    • Brassbud, on 07/03/2008, -0/+0Uhh, that ride is like 30 years old.
    • moocow1452, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1Money. Money Gives.
    • DuffyDirect, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1Kids think that stuff is cool. Were you not a kid? I knew Vietnam was a BS war growing up... Doesn't mean I didn't love my aircraft carrier set and remote control tank and soldier action figures!
  • deinem, on 07/03/2008, -0/+2I feel that this review has missed the point. Can't we forgive the writers for having a little faith in human kind? Sure, Alan Weisman's The World Without Us might be a good apocalyptic story line in which nature "crushes every last trace of us"... but c'mon! Last time I checked, this was a children movie. Props to the writers for breaking the mold and giving us a movie that has some intelligent, thought-provoking themes. Heaven forbid it has a happy ending.

    And do you really expect the marketing department to have the same agenda as the writers? They're selling a movie, that's their job, of course there will be little stuffed Wall-E's. Get over it. Instead, lets admire this clever and visually pleasing film.
    • Brassbud, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1Pssst, the people that do the marketing don't even like the writers, and for a long time didn't even work for the same company.
  • D14BL0, on 07/03/2008, -1/+5Who cares if it "clogs the landfills"? We're not exactly running out of landfill space. Besides, landfills are GOOD for the environment.
  • thestranger, on 07/03/2008, -0/+2Man, I would hate to have to see/hear entertainment through the author of this article's eyes. And he says the writer's of Wall*E are too cynical...........
  • Brassbud, on 07/03/2008, -2/+1A world without us? Sounds like the liberal dream come true.
  • HertzaHaeon, on 07/03/2008, -0/+2Sometimes the environmentalist visions of an earth without people as paradise scares me. Not that I believe in some green conspiracy to eradicate human life, but it makes you wonder how much they value human life and how much human suffering they think it's worth to become green. I prefer a positive view of humans, development and technology, instead of their drearily green post-apocalyptic paradise.
  • CoffeeandTV, on 07/03/2008, -0/+2A world with fewer morons would definitely be an improvement. Get over yourselves. We are not as important as we think.
  • paulieside, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1It has been said over and over again that they weren't trying to make an environmental point through the movie. The director says that the themes are more to do with relationships and our commitment to comfort.. not environmentalism.

  • OffPiste, on 07/03/2008, -5/+2Standard lib tactics. Do as I say not as I do. They own the market on hypocrisy.

    • TheSuperunknown, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1You sound like a thoughtful, well-informed individual! Just without the thoughtful or well-informed parts.
  • billbugger, on 07/03/2008, -0/+2well, if you read the article, you don't have to see the movie now. SPOILER!

    / good movie btw!
    • Bjover, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1No *****, what an ass. That is a total common courtesy not to spoil any art of any form wether written, illustrated or motion.
  • IronDonut, on 07/03/2008, -1/+1I thought it was kindof an irony that Disney would be making what seemed to be a negative comment on pervasive a overreaching corporate culture which engineered a society and culture.

    With that said Wall-e was one of the best movies I've seen in a while.
  • wdr1, on 07/03/2008, -0/+2CoffeJoost, please provide a _single_ citation or reference that Wall-E claims to be "pro-environment".

    Or did you just make that up to try to get the front page of Digg?
  • Bjover, on 07/03/2008, -0/+0Bawwww...
  • djm19, on 07/03/2008, -0/+01. A movie is an artistic work that doesnt have to reflect the parent company. Its a STORY people. Disney isn't disseminating advice, its giving a perspective of the screenwriter.

    2. As far as large companies go, Disney is quite green, in its own operations. What people do with the products it sells is another story. But there is certainly a demand out there. Wall-e is too damn cute not to have him plastered on everything in a child's bedroom.
  • srodolff, on 07/03/2008, -0/+2So.....here are my several cents worth.

    1. WallE has the ability to repair himself but no other robots.
    2. Trash stopped accumulating when the humans left....and it's still not cleaned up after 700 years?
    3. Apparently, video tape lasts 700 years (and as a side note, video tape will still be around in 100 years).
    4. If you were to build robots to clean up the trash, why wouldn't they recycle it into useable materials?

    Damn fun movie, but plot holes abound.

    • Cyberen, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1A few more odd plotholes:
      1. How could the plant undergo photosynthesis in a sealed fridge with no sunlight?
      2. How could there be enough oxygen (hinted by the lighters working) to sustain all the humans when just a few plants have sprouted so far?
      3. How could the humans walk when they have never done so before in their entire lives?
      4. What happened to the other luxury spaceships?
      5. How could the Axiom have enough resources to sustain humans for 695 years beyond what was originally planned?
      • mohsenxp, on 07/03/2008, -0/+0hmm this is the part where someone replies to your comment and says "Its a kids movie! Chill out don't fry that brain of yours".

        Its a kids movie! Chill out don't fry that brain of yours.

    • mattcc42, on 07/04/2008, -0/+0Damn fun post, but logic holes abound.

      Who the ***** says plot holes abound? You're also completely wrong.
  • priceless721, on 07/03/2008, -0/+2lets not make this the anti gun argument saying guns kill people, merchandise does not fill up landfills or destroy our planet unless stupid people dispose of it incorrectly and the companies making them make non recyclable materials (by the way i do not believe in recycling, it does more harm than good, look into it) just don't buy it and if you do do not just throw it away. You could donate it if you want or you could be like me and dispose of all old unneeded things on the 4th of july, wait thats tomorrow! Stop blaming other people for all the problems, Have you EVER littered or not recycled recyclable materials? It is OUR responsibility to take care of everything so stop sitting on the computer and yelling at other people and go make the world a better place.
