Wall.E [* * * * * ... *! jackbot!]

The earth's laid to waste with garbage. Humans have moved to space to escape the toxicity, leaving behind robots to clean up. Wall.E is a little survivor robot who develops emotion and falls in love with Eva.

Love is a strange change. If you've ever been in love, you know you aren't the same person you used to be. It brings out something bigger than you; all the smallness of you - ennlarges to make meaning of life while reducing you to a detail.

Wall.E's love for Eva make for one of the most beautiful love stories I've ever seen. His loyalty, kindness, gentleness and sacrifice to keep Eva has a butterfly effect to save the planet and bring home the surviving people.

Amazing story. If there's a platonic love out there - representing all the finest qualities worth seeking, as Plato would have seen it - these two bots must represent it.:) A MUST see for romance buffs!
