 The plot of "WALL·E" may be about a steaming heap of garbage, but the film is a garden of unearthly delights.


Set in a future where the Earth has become covered in trash, swept by monstrous 1, rumbling 2 dust storms and whose only bona fide wildlife is the cockroach 3 (a literally 4 running gag), "WALL·E" refers to our hero-a Waste Allocation Load Lifter, Earth class. The cute, mechanically chirping 5 robot has been left behind to toil 6 endlessly in the shadow of the planet's rubbish skyline, collecting garbage, compressing garbage, living his solitary 7 life amid his amassed 8 artifacts of bygone human society (a Rubik's cube, a flashbulb, a museum's worth of Zippo lighters).
It's embarrassing-is this what would be left of us? Meanwhile, a mass of humankind has been traveling through space for 700 years waiting for Earth to regenerate-and, thanks to the constant attention of robots, has been reduced (if that's the word) to morbid 9 obesity 10, sloth 11 and watching interactive 12 video screens. This is not the Enchanted 13 Forest. It's too plausible 14 for that.
Not everything here is original-the title character is a direct lift, physically 15 and vocally 16, from "E.T." It doesn't matter, however, because Eve, the Extraterrestrial Vegetation Evaluator who arrives to collect plant samples and steal WALL·E's heart is a beeping, humming anime heroine.
