Trivia:

The logo on Eve's chest that appears after she obtains the plant is the same logo used by Disney Epcot's The Land pavilion up until 2005.

Goofs:

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: EVE probes are Extraterrestrial Vegetation Evaluators, but as far as we can tell they are only ever sent to Earth. However, while the vegetation isn't extraterrestrial, EVE certainly is. She is called "Extraterrestrial" because she is not from Earth's origin but comes from "somewhere else other than Earth" (the Axiom).

Quotes:

La Vie en Rose

WALL-E is one of the most cutest, lovable characters Pixar ever invented!!

Not only it's Pixar's best film of all-time but it's the best movie of this year and one of the greatest imaginative, visually, moving & excellent animated films in years and surprisingly, one of the best sci-fi movies since E.T.!! Coming with high expectations, it definitely succeeded mines. It's so beautiful, moving, hilarious & sad at the same time. And for those who has been anticipating Thomas Newman's score for WALL-E, it's certainly one of his best right behind Finding Nemo in which I thought was his best score to date! Like I said it's Pixar best film so far, WALL-E knocked off Ratatouille of the top spot in which I thought it was their best film to date and officially, WALL-E is the best Pixar film i've ever seen with Ratatouille right behind and Finding Nemo, third. Pixar fan or non-Pixar fan, you'll definitely enjoy this one. WALL-E will forever be remembered as one of the most lovable characters ever created on film!!!
