WALL-E, promoted with an interpunct as WALL·E, is a 2008 computer-animated science fiction film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and 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.

After directing Finding Nemo, Stanton felt Pixar had created believable simulations of underwater physics and was willing to direct a film largely set in space. Most of the characters do not have actual human voices, but instead communicate with body language and robotic sounds, designed by Ben Burtt, that resemble voices. In addition, it is the first animated feature by Pixar to have segments featuring live-action characters.

WALL-E has been met with overwhelmingly positive reviews among critics, scoring an approval rating of 96% on the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. It grossed $534 million worldwide, won the 2008 Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Feature Film, the 2009 Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation, Long Form, the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature as well as being nominated for five other Academy Awards at the 81st Academy Awards. WALL-E ranks first in TIME's "Best Movies of the Decade."

Throughout the 21st century, Earth was governed by the Buy n Large (BnL) megacorporation, causing mass consumerism and covering the planet in trash by 2105. In an attempt to resolve the situation, BnL evacuated Earth's population on fully automated luxury starliners for five years while an army of trash compactor robots called "WALL-E" were left behind to clean up the planet. However, the plan failed, the WALL-E units were shut off, and humanity has remained in space for 700 years. However, somehow one WALL-E remained active, and survived the harsh environment and the passage of time by salvaging spare parts from the others of his type. By doing this, the unit developed sentience, as shown by his quirky habits of collecting knickknacks from the mountains of trash, domesticating a lone cockroach, and singing to the show tune of Hello Dolly!.

Wall-E has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
