Decent DVD-Extra

Caught it on Youtube - apparently Copyright holders didn't catch this one, and glad they didn't! - and happy for seeing this 7-minute extension to a perfect animated movie like Wall-E.

Apart from it, this 7-minute short is quite worse directed and with a lot of plot holes, when editing it from the main movie. But the whole idea, the Burn-E story, is quite good for a short, somewhat funny and watchable.
