And the "Lots of Bots" Storybook provides a game environment for exploring some of the various robots in the movie as well. However, this allows an enterprising person to build their own robot out of pieces on a virtual workbench. As you solve a puzzle, it reads a story in a Dr. Seuss-style of narration.

Ultimately to have this amount of extras is great. You can watch the movie and save something to explore later.

Disc 3 provides the Digital Copy for your Mac or PC. Simpy choose whether to import the copy into iTunes or Windows Media format, input the unique code (included on an insert), and then you can transfer WALL-E to your computer, iPod, iPhone, or other Windows Media device. Providing a digital copy seems to be very popular these days as a way to encourage folks not to rip DVDs to their computers, thus violating the various distribution agreements. Many of the movie companies and DVD distribution firms are going this direction.

Lastly, I have to say something about the design of the packaging. This has to be one of the most cleverly conceived cardboard packages I've seen lately, with pullouts that go left or right. The one that pulls out to the left holds Disc 1. On the inside of the tab protecting the disc is the track list for the movie itself. Then on the other side, the one that pulls out to the right contains Discs 2 and 3. The tab on this side simply has a few stills from the movie. But to have such storage and information available in such a simple package is an elegant solution. Kudos to Disney and Pixar for this one. It's slim and will fit on a shelf neatly with your other DVD cases.

If you are a WALL-E fan and want lots of extras, the 3-Disc Special Edition is for you. It's a great addition to any family DVD collection.
