Wall-e vs Adam and Eve
Who would have thought that robot named Wall-e, designed to clean up the Earth littered in filth and destruction occurring in the future would become such a hit. The 2008 Pixar film titled Walle-E featured this robot and portrays the love story of Eve, another programed task robot, and he. Through their journey together, the affectionate story mainly takes place in space in an adventure that changes the destiny of both his kind and humanity. Perhaps not only the unique storyline, and feel good love story between both robots is what made the movie such a success and gained it considerable popularity, but also the robots exhibition of human like emotions and actions.
