BURN·E

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!

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.

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.

Like Wall-E, Burn-E has his flaws. Robots should be capable of repetitious acts that they do flawlessly, but they are also the product of human development. What is cool here is an almost human persistence as Burn-E continues to try and try again. I don't know that any new ground was covered. It was fine.

The adventures of BURN-E, a robot on the same ship as WALL-E and EVE. BURN-E's main job is fixing damaged machinery. He pretty much spends his entire day welding (hence his name). His daily routine is severely disrupted due to WALL-E and EVE's romance, as this causes all sorts of mishaps with the spaceship. Not only are his work and routine disrupted but one such mishap results in him being locked out of the spaceship. From there all manner of adventures ensue.

Cute, sweet short, made in conjunction with the movie WALL-E (2008). A nice little add-on to that great movie. An interesting plot with a great punch-line at the end.
