Disc 2 is divided into two sections: Robots and Humans. In Robots, “WALL·E Treasures & Trinkets” offers short bits with the gang, “Lots Of Bots” combines games and puzzles in a storybook adventure, and Blu-ray users get “The Axiom Arcade” which puts the characters in old-school video games. Eve’s Bot Blaster is a variation on Asteroids. “Bot Files” runs through the different mechanical characters.
In Humans, there is over 22 minutes of deleted scenes that can be accompanied by introductions by Stanton intro; over 109 minutes of behind the scenes that cover areas, such as the look, the sound, Burtt’s work, Thomas Newman’s score; BnL shorts; and Blu-ray users get a stunning 3D Set Fly-Through that covers the Axiom, the refinery, WALL·E’s truck. There is also the feature-length documentary The Pixar Story. Directed by Leslie Iwerks, the film is a must-see for Pixar fans as it charts the company’s history. Thankfully, it doesn’t shy away from turbulent relationship with the Disney Company, which it could have easily done.
Disc 3 is a digital copy of the WALL·E. I didn’t try it or the BD-Live features.
WALL·E is likely to be included on many 2008 Top-Ten lists for both films and Blu-rays. If animation fans want to see where the bar is currently set, go no further.
