While searching for such life, she and WALL-E become friends. EVE is, in fact, sent by the BnL spaceship to detect signs of plant life on Earth.

Listening to the tune “Put on your Sunday clothes” from the Broadway hit Hello Dolly, he dreams about the romantic possibilities of the world “out there,” the world “outside of Yonkers.” That libidinal energy finds its object when someone from “out there,” the robot EVE, comes into his world. He has miraculously developed a “personality,” and has learned to fantasize about companionship by watching old musicals on a TV. We encounter WALL-E some 700 hundred years after the spaceships left, and after all the other robots had stopped working due to malfunction. It was sort of this Robinson Crusoe kind of little character – like what if mankind had to leave earth and somebody forgot to turn the last robot off, and he didn’t know he could stop what he’s doing?” The story is built up from this enigmatic figure. These broader themes came together through a process of bricolage driven by “the idea of a little robot left on Earth.” The “WALL-E Production Notes” in the Pixar Talk Blog quote Stanton saying, “We had no story. The film’s director, Andrew Stanton, insists that he did not set out to make a political statement about overconsumption, environmental degradation or wastefulness (Fritz 2008a WALL-E Production Notes). But WALL-E, the movie, is an oddly complex composition, one that, by no means, delivers Volvo from the contradictions of automation. Drawn as a good, romantic, hard-working guy, it is not hard to see why the figure of WALL-E surfaces in representations of Volvo’s proposed ROAR-bots. He packs his lunchbox every morning, and heads off to his job, the job of collecting and compacting the mountains of trash left behind by a civilization of over-consuming humans. Moreover, WALL-E (which stands for Waste Allocation Load Lifter: Earth-Class) is portrayed as a diligent, obedient working-class dude. In pursuit of his true love, the haughty robot EVE, he inadvertently ends up saving humanity, and the Earth to boot. WALL-E is portrayed as a heroic and romantic figure in the film. Hollywood’s examination of artificial intelligence over the last several decades makes it clear that humanity hates the idea of technology that can replace us, but is moved by the idea of another intelligence that may be capable of the same emotions that make us distinctly human. Earth is nothing more than a massive garbage-heap, and Earth’s population has escaped the planet to live in starships, while the robots remain on Earth in order to clean up the planet. This heartwarming story takes place in the distant future – 2805.

It is yet another examination of a scenario where artificial intelligence “evolves” into human-like form – complete with fears, anger, and of course love. The film explores WALL-E’s love for a second robot named EVA. WALL-E is one of the last remaining robots, who develops a form of human-like intelligence toward the end of the 700 years spent on Earth.
