Once you get to the Axiom, there’s more dialogue, but the first half of the movie has essentially none. And yet, with so few words, you learn so much about Wall-E and Eve. Their personalities shine through in every action, movement, and expression. You simply don’t need them to say anything. Even robots who get relatively less screentime, like Mo, still have a distinct character without having them speak much. As someone who tends to talk a lot, any story that can be told almost entirely through visuals always impresses me.
Like many Pixar films, Wall-E also doesn’t feel the need to talk down to its audience. Media made with children in mind can sometimes dumb things down, or act like its audience needs everything explained to them. Pixar tends to let their audience learn things for themselves. Nothing is dumbed down for a child to understand. Kids are often so much smarter than people give them credit for; Wall-E gives them that credit. It presents its message, and does so incredibly well.
Seriously, watch Wall-E again if you haven’t seen it in a while. It still holds up really well. And if you haven’t seen it, do it! It’s worth the watch.
