The memorable animation short "Presto," originally shown before WALL∙E in theaters, is also accompanied by a new short "BURN∙E," which weaves an amusing side story from the main story in the film. The full-length documentary on Pixar and its history, titled The Pixar Story makes an outstanding addition. This documentary was directed by Leslie Iwerks, granddaughter of one of Disney's animation pioneers, Ub Iwerks.
The storybook feature, full of related games and featurettes with WALL-E playing with various items can definitely entertain the kids. The environmentally friendly cardboard packaging helps consumers avoid all that waste seen in the film, (just don’t pull the flaps entirely out), but only holds the first disc by the outside contours (no middle pegs), so it’s probably best to put the discs in a case or something more stable to avoid scratching.
An outstanding, all ages film full of adventure and ideology. The classic musical songs from Hello Dolly! create memorable moments throughout the film, especially in the low dialogue first half when WALL∙E fulfills his duty while filmmakers give audiences an amazing visual feast of Earth’s current state. Be sure to watch the ending credit animations, which show some nice story continuity as Peter Gabriel’s song “Down to Earth” plays. Rated G. This special edition supports Dolby Digital 5.1 and 2.0 Surround Sound. Digital copy also included. Blu-ray and widescreen single disc versions also available.
