The last surviving robot craves companionship following
the abandonment of Earth a couple of centuries earlier. He finally meets his match when a botanical android named Eve comes to investigate the remains of the planet.
A very sweet animated movie from animation giant Pixar,
with a neat homage to ET, Short Circuit & 2001: A Space Odyssey. It's unsure whether the message is meant to be take care of your planet or take care of your body, but a nice family movie
nevertheless which manages to come across particularly well in the scenes with very little dialogue.
Amongst Pixar's very best.
8/10
