The movie's closing credits showed the humans and robots cleaning up the planet and regrowing the vegetation. And the humans were not shown as "stupid pigs," but as basically decent people who had been duped and controlled by their machine handlers. Once they shook off the control, they pulled together and did the right thing. The ship's Captain, especially, was shown to be heroic and determined to save his crew. The message I took away from this movie was to fight in the face of adversity rather than giving up. I believe it is a good message for youngsters.
Agree. I thought WALL-E was inspired. The human’s story was one of being saved by becoming self sufficient instead of letting machines do everything.
Auto Pilot: “On the Axiom, you will survive.”
Captain: “I don’t want to survive, I want to live!”
Besides which, the visuals in WALL-E we’re the best I’ve seen in any animation. Truly a romantic movie in the true definition of the word.
