FUTURE TECHNOLOGY-CASE 3

WALL-E

WALL-E (Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class), is a 2008 American computer-animated science fiction film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. The film is being directed by Andrew Stanton. The story follows a robot named WALL-E, who is designed to clean up a waste-covered Earth far in the future. He eventually falls in love with another robot named EVE, and follows her into outer space on an adventure that changes the destiny of both his kind and humanity.

WALL-E is the very last little robot on Earth. His job was to help clean up the planet Earth. In year 2805, the world is filled with garbage and empty of plant and animal life, so that everyone had to leave the planet Earth and for the moment the humans will live in outer space on spaceship Axiom temporarily while the robots called "WALL-E" to clean up the trash and make planet Earth livable. The cleanup program failed but only one WALL-E unit remains active and shown collecting various keepsakes and knickknacks from the trash and doing his duty all alone. One day, WALL-E discovers a seedling growing among the garbage and brings it home. But the story is not a story about a science fiction but also it’s a love story, because WALL-E falls in love with EVE, an advanced robot sent from the BnL starliner Axiom with a directive to search for signs of life on Earth and she’s left there to check on and see how things are going and WALL-E absolutely falls in love with her.

On the Axiom, the ship's human passengers have suffered from severe bone loss and become morbidly obese after centuries of living in microgravity and relying on the ship's automated systems. WALL-E follows EVE to the bridge of the ship where the captain learns that by scanning EVE's plant sample with the ship's holo-detector as a sign of Earth being habitable again, the ship will make a hyperjump to Earth and allow its passengers to recolonize. However, Auto has the plant stolen as part of a classified final directive given to keep humanity away from Earth as it was wrongly deemed unsustainable 700 years ago. But WALL-E and EVE successfully found the plant from AUTO and EVE places the plant in the holo-detector, releasing WALL-E and sending the ship back to Earth. Although, WALL-E was critically crushed in keeping AUTO from collapsing the platform. When they reach Earth, EVE rushes WALL-E back to his garage and repairs him. Unfortunately, WALL-E's memory is erased and EVE gives WALL-E a farewell "kiss" which causes an electric spark that reboots WALL-E's memory and restores him to his usual self. WALL-E and EVE happily reunite and join the humans and robots in restoring Earth's environment.


9


9 is a 2005 computer animated short film by Shane Acker as a student project at the UCLA Animation Workshop. The movie starts off with The Scientist (Alan Oppenheimer) making a sapient ragdoll, on whose back he writes "9". After an apocalyptic war between human and machines, the world is completely destroyed and without human life.

In a world destroyed in a war between man and machine, a hand-stitched doll with the number 9 written on its back comes to life. The world he has awakened in is frightening, but he quickly learns that he is not alone and that there are others like him, also with a single digit written on their back. The first one he encounters is 2 who tells him something of what happened to the world. 2 is also thrilled with the disk 9 is carrying, one with three unique symbols on the front. 9 soon learns that the disk and some of the other dolls who are prepared to die for the good of humankind may be the last hope for man's salvation.


Comparisons

Both Wall-e and 9 are computer-animated science fiction film, the two movies are futuristic movies and although both have special fiction but still the major events talking about the high technology and obtained same robotics features. Though, Wall-e is a lovable robot and 9 is a ragdoll, but still both characters are prepared to die for the good of humankind.
