Le film WALL•E Pixar rejoint The Criterion Collection

The Criterion Collection annonce pour le 22 novembre 2022, le film Pixar’s WALL•E en combo 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray. Réalisé en 2008 par Andrew Stanton, il met en vedette Ben Burtt, Elissa Knight, Jeff Garlin, Fred Willard, John Ratzenberger, Kathy Najimy et Sigourney Weaver.

Une piste sonore anglaise sera disponible.

Faites la connaissance de WALL•E (prononcez « Walli ») : WALL•E est le dernier être sur Terre et s’avère être un… petit robot ! 700 ans plus tôt, l’humanité a déserté notre planète laissant à cette incroyable petite machine le soin de nettoyer la Terre. Mais au bout de ces longues années, WALL•E a développé un petit défaut technique : une forte personnalité. Extrêmement curieux, très indiscret, il est surtout un peu trop seul…
Cependant, sa vie s’apprête à être bouleversée avec l’arrivée d’une petite « robote », bien carénée et prénommée EVE. Tombant instantanément et éperdument amoureux d’elle, WALL•E va tout mettre en oeuvre pour la séduire. Et lorsqu’EVE est rappelée dans l’espace pour y terminer sa mission, WALL•E n’hésite pas un seul instant : il se lance à sa poursuite… Hors de question pour lui de laisser passer le seul amour de sa vie… Pour être à ses côtés, il est prêt à aller au bout de l’univers et vivre la plus fantastique des aventures !

WALL•E

A high-water mark of digital animation, this prescient vision of a dystopian future is packaged within a dazzling pop-science-fiction love story, making for an urgent fable for our troubled millennium. It’s the twenty-ninth century, and humans have long since fled Earth for outer space, leaving WALL•E, the last functioning trash-compacting robot, to go about the work of cleaning up a pollution-choked planet, one piece of garbage at a time. When he meets EVE, a fellow automaton sent to detect plant life, the pair are launched on an intergalactic quest to return humanity to Earth. Transporting us simultaneously back to cinema’s silent origins and forward light-years into the future, WALL•E is a soaring ode to the power of love and art to heal a dying world.
