In the mood for an animated love story with a strong environmental message? Disney Pixars' "WALL*E" is among this weeks new releases and not only does it include a theatrical "short" titled "Presto",the DVD has an amusing bonus "short" film called "Burn*E",as well as director commentary.WALL*E is a lonely "cleaner" robot left behind on an empty earth to clean up with only a cockroach for company,and he has a fixation on the musical "Hello Dolly",which he watches daily.Then he falls in love with EVE,a probe robot sent to earth to collect biological samples and literally follows her across the universe.I think this is quite possibly one of the best Pixar movies to date!
