WALL-E director Andrew Stanton is upset that some of his movie's predictions for the future are coming true. 'I wasn't trying to predict the future. It's science fiction, not science fact.'
WALL-E director Andrew Stanton discusses the Pixar film's future predictions and how he's upset by some of them coming true. Released in 2008, WALL-E is one of Pixar's most critically acclaimed and beloved films, telling the story of a small, waste-collecting robot in the distant future who slowly works to clean up an abandoned, garbage-ridden Earth. WALL-E eventually encounters EVE, a sleek new probe, and the two embark on an adventure across the galaxy.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY As part of the special feature in WALL-E's recent Criterion Collection release, shared courtesy of SlashFilm, director Andrew Stanton reveals that the film's accurate predictions for the future actually leave him feeling somewhat upset. He explains that much of his vision of the Earth's future is mostly designed to serve WALL-E's character arc and to create empathy for the film's lonely little robot while still feeling believable to audiences.
"I said it in the doc: I don't like being right on so many of those issues. I wasn't trying to predict the future. It's science fiction, not science fact. I was just trying to predict a believable future that you would buy so that we could accept that maybe humanity left and this character was alone.
Although the movie doesn't go into specifics regarding what is next for humanity and Earth in the world of the story, the ending to WALL-E suggests that it isn't too late to turn things around when it comes to environmental issues and humanity's attitudes toward the natural world.
Of course, Stanton's film takes place far in the future, presenting a vision of Earth that has not yet come to pass. While the specific plot points and world-building in WALL-E may seem farfetched now, it's really the movie's underlying themes that continue to resonate so powerfully.
