On adverts recently it's being said like 'Wally'. I used to think it was meant to be a take on that word but it didn't sound right because it's spelt Wall instead of Wal. Is it just cos in America Wall is pronounced like they are saying Wal cos of the accent? The name confusion has totally put me off the film already...

PS why are there no trailers on TV for it? I have no idea what it's about.

Wall-E has been out for a while now, which is why there aren't any previews on TV anymore. It pronounced similar to "Wally", but elongated more, just as they spell it... Wall. E. It's because he's a little robot and he's name is actually an acronym (Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class). He is supposed to be cleaning up the Earth, which human beings trashed. During the hundreds of years that he's been zipping around, compacting little piles of garbage, he's become very curious. Even more so when a spaceship lands on Earth and he meets Eve (Extra-terrestrial Vegetation Evaluator). It was an adorable movie, enjoyable for both kids and adults! Check out the homepage, I don't want to give too much away =)

It is pronounced like 'wally'. It is an acronym for Waste Allocation Load Lifter- Earth class.



Wall E is a robot, the only of the robots that were left behind to clean up earth when it got so overrun by pollution that the humans went up in space on huge cruise ships (one being the Axiom) Over time he's become sentimental, finding "treasures" in the trash.



One day, Eve, a robot from outer space, comes and meets Wall E. WallE falls for her, and shows her all his treasures, including a plant he found. Eve's main goal is to look for plant life on earth so she immediately returns to the Axiom, with Wall E following her because of how he feels for her.



On the ship we see that humans have become hugely obese, and basically robots do everything for them. They can't even walk. Wall E and Eve get caught up in a lot of trouble - they lose the plant, find it again, the captain realizes how wonderful Earth was at one point, Eve sees WallE's feelings, the captain's Autopilot robot doesn't want to return to earth and fights the captain on the subject, Wall-E gets injured, Eve tries and fixes him but she's afraid he won't be the same.. and I won't ruin the ending.



It was a pretty good movie, it's just a little odd to watch because Eve and Wall-E don't communicate using words, just beeps and robotic sounds. Also it's almost disturbing to see the humans and earth of the future. They're fat, lazy, etc. and earth is just a giant garbage pile, where everything is owned by one company. I think the creators definately had a political agenda, but it's pretty effective.

Well, it is pronounced like Wally, but with a more of an 'E' on the end, like Wallee.

And the TV doesn't tend to show as many adverts any more lol!

It's Wall eee

I went to see it last night and it's very good.

It's about the demise of earth through too much rubbish taking over the surface and humans living in luxury in space.

Wall-e is the last surviving robot rubbish-crushing machine left and he's lonely.

Eve is a scout robot sent from the human colony ship to search for plant life and eve and wall-e make friends.

I won't say any more, go and see it!

Hemorrhoids, also known as piles are swollen veins around the anal opening or the anal canal. They can be painful and linger on for a long time causing distress. Fortunately, there are a number of home remedies that are as effective and provides fast relief https://tr.im/oTVuX



The main symptoms include bleeding during the bowel movement and itching. The first thing that people do to cure hemorrhoids is get an OTC medication, without knowing their possible side effects.
