Burn·E

With seven and a half minutes of duration, "Burn-E" was directed by Angus Mac Lane, and tells the story of an unlucky robot who tries to change a light bulb on the Axiom ship. WALL-E pursuit of EVE causes problems for a welding repair robot (Angus Mac Lane)... Cute... If BURN-E, a robot welder, had known how much work he would have because of WALL-E and EVE, he would have taken the day off...

Despite remembering very little, almost nothing of the original Wall-e, I watched it a long time ago, however this cult is so nice to watch, that we are left with a taste of wanting more, I watched it at my goddaughter's company who also adopted... good, very good... Cute...

This DVD extra isn't trying to the sort of brilliance that distinguished Wall-E. It's jut a cute shot that tells a story that runs concurrently with some of Wall-E.

There were a couple of years between when I saw Wall-E and when I saw this, and I think that mutes the humor for me. I feel like if I'd just seen the movie and immediately watched this that it would have more resonance.

Even then though, this is pretty much of a throwaway. It's cute and mildly humorous, but it doesn't really stand on its own. But if you've just seen the movie, or remember it very distinctly, this is worth taking a look at.

Having absolutely loved WALL-E, I was all for seeing the short film that came with it. Burn-E is just as good as the movie it featured with, and while not quite in the same league as Geri's Game, Knick Knack, Jack-Jack Attack, Presto and One Man Band, it is one of Pixar's better short films to me. The animation with beautiful colours and atmospheric backgrounds is amazing, the music is haunting and understated and the story has an enchanting atmosphere to it. Burn-E may be a one-joke short, but seeing as the joke itself is funny, it works brilliantly. Burn-E, like WALL-E, is not just endearing but there is a very human side to him which makes us identify with him all the more. In conclusion, beautifully animated and enchanting, this is a great short film and perhaps one of the better one-joke animations I've seen. 9/10 Bethany Cox

Produced as a DVD extra for the movie Wall-E. This gives the animator to make a spin off short and have an excuse to feature scenes from Wall-E.

BURN-E is a small repair robot. When an external light is faulty, BURN- E goes to repair it but at each attempt he is thwarted by the arrival of WALL-E or the chaos he creates.

The makers do well in giving BURN-E personality in such a short space of time when there is a danger of the character being constantly upstaged by the appearance from WALL-E and the footage from the parent film. Children will of course find this short animation fun.

Poor Burn-E He just wanted to fix the Light from the Ship It keeps Failed all the time. I laugh about it! This was a COMEDY MASTERPIECE!
