Don't show your kids this movie.

Where do I begin?

1) Shelby Forthright, Global CEO of BNL: videos with Fred Willard in this movie see him depicted on a stage with a BNL logo on the flag to his left, a podium with "Seal of Buy N' Large" on the front, placing him as the Global President, placing big business in control of the world. He also has the power to declare a Global emergency and evacuation to the Axioms. This also suggests that BNL, and big business by extension, created the mess we see back on Earth, with rich cities placed between mountains and the big business government refusing to recycle, playing the "environmental preservation/global warming" card for the film-makers.

2) WALL-E's solar panels: WALL-E operates on solar power created from panels he exposes to the sky each day. As the movie says, the WALL-Es were created as a last-ditch effort to clean up the growing junk mountains across the world; alas, it was too late, and the people had to leave the planet. This suggests that if we wait too long to embrace clean energy and throw aside Big Oil (used as the bad guy in Cars 2, also Pixar), then we may not be able to save the environment, indicated by the constant thunderstorms and sandstorms on Earth.

3) The people: all people depicted in the movie are morbidly obese and have everything at the touch of a button, suggesting that BNL and big business are responsible for the health issues facing the nation even today and are making people lazy.

4) The Axiom Teaching-Bots: these robots are only seen for a moment, but their impact is both massive and ironic. The bots are seen instructing toddlers, all in their BNL outfits, in the alphabet. However, the words used to describe the letters, e.g. "A is for Apple" are altered to say "A is for Axiom, your home sweet home. B is for Buy N' Large, your very best friend." This is seen by movie-goers as indoctrination of toddlers against the LEFT, while the movie itself is indoctrinating against the RIGHT. This bit is so ironic in the fact that the film-makers are telling you to resist indoctrination while indoctrinating you.

5) Economy: Wait, what? Where was Economy? Oh, it was there, but only seen for a moment. When WALL-E first enters the main hub for the Axiom, a neon sign is plastered on the screen: "WELCOME TO ECONOMY". In Economy, which looks alarmingly like Wall Street (huh, wonder why?) all the people wheel around in their chairs, looking at the personal screen attached to the chairs, chatting with friends and drinking milkshakes. Need more be said?

6) The Captain's Revelation: In the middle of the movie, the captain begins researching certain things about Earth that he's never seen or heard of before: sea, grass, trees, etc. After Eve comes back with the plant, Auto (the captain's machine) shows the captain the actual Earth at that time, a barren junkyard with sandstorms and extreme heat. But what is significant is the Captain's dialogue: "Wait, where's all the trees? The...the grass?" Wow, what a call for environmental conservation: "here's what happens when you don't recycle and go clean energy".

7) The screens are shut off: During the movie, the people's personal screens are shut off. The people immediately panic, but then look at their technological surroundings for seemingly the first time in their lives with astonished looks and gasps. This is blatantly political as well, suggesting that people in this day in age are "blind to the truth" if they back the right, which is obviously the enemy in this movie, but once they "wake up", the "truth" becomes clear and is accepted.

8) Shutting off Auto: Eventually, the captain works up the gall to stand up to the giant wheel that is, metaphorically, driving the lives of him and his passengers in the Axiom; you can liken that to Forthright and his "administration", who, through Auto's actions, are shown to be great deceivers and self-serving, another belief the left carries of the right-wing. The Captain eventually shuts off the machine and takes control of the Axiom, steering it back towards Earth. Had the rest of the movie not been so political, the message from this scene would have been positive for kids, showing them that they decide their own destiny and nobody could decide it for them. Alas, it just continues a very negative trend.

9) The ending: Even the very end is tainted by politics. The Captain and his passengers, along with all the other Axioms, return to Earth. The Captain leads out the passengers and starts ranting very enthusiastically about how farming would fix everything, placing the cap on the environmental agenda of the film and the film itself.

WALL-E could have been such a good story had it not been so dominated by leftist agenda and were it not for the attacks on conservatives, I would have enjoyed the movie. But, as you can tell, I didn't. This movie is nothing but indoctrination for young kids and, as a result, is a despicable addition to the Pixar collection.
