Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

Charles Herold (cherold) This DVD extra isn't trying to the sort of brilliance that distinguished Wall-E. It's jut a cute shot that tells a story that runs concurrently with some of Wall-E.There were a couple of years between when I saw Wall-E and when I saw this, and I think that mutes the humor for me. I feel like if I'd just seen the movie and immediately watched this that it would have more resonance.Even then though, this is pretty much of a throwaway. It's cute and mildly humorous, but it doesn't really stand on its own. But if you've just seen the movie, or remember it very distinctly, this is worth taking a look at.

Stompgal_87 I first saw this short when I rented 'WALL-E' a few years ago and while it was initially forgettable apart from BURN-E being locked out, two further viewings since recently owning the film gave me a better understanding of what the short's about.Basically the short is about BURN-E's several failed attempts at fixing one of the exterior lights on the Axiom whilst taking place alongside different parts of the film in a similar manner to 'Jack-Jack Attack' tying in with various scenes in 'The Incredibles.' The opening shot of WALL-E running his hand through the rings of Saturn whilst clinging onto the ship destined for Axiom is beautiful as is the segment of WALL-E and EVE dancing in the sky to gorgeous music. Shortly afterwards they fly back inside the Axiom and cause BURN-E to be locked out, thus making it the best and most memorable part that ties in with the film. Not only was the sky-dancing music a treat to the ears but also BURN-E humming 'Song Of Joy/Ode To Joy,' which was used as the closing theme. I did find this short a tad rushed due to it taking place alongside several scenes of 'WALL-E,' but it has a lot of the same elements as the main feature and the usual metallic textures.Overall this is one of the best feature-related Pixar shorts that is only just above par with 'Dug's Special Mission' and 'Jack-Jack Attack.' 8.5/10 to round up to IMDb's 9/10 rating.

Horst in Translation ([email protected]) I might start by saying that, unlike most movie-goers, I'm not a great fan of the film "Wall-E" at all. But at the same time, I always love a me a decent animation movie and there's some from Pixar that I genuinely enjoy, such as the Toy Story films or the first 15 minutes from "Up". So "Burn-E" shall have his fair chance. And as expected, I was not too wowed by this 8-minute short-film. The animation is good as in every Pixar film, but the story was so messy that it was occasionally even hard to see what exactly was going on. Maybe it was primarily directed at very young children who don't really need a plot to enjoy a movie if the animation is decent and the scenes are funny enough. Not that they actually were. "Wall-E" lovers will probably like it more than myself and enjoy the central character, who looks much more futuristic than Wall-E, all the gimmicks included and cameos from Wall-E, Eve and the obese humans. Admittedly the end sequence including "Freude schöner Götterfunken" made it up for me a bit. It's such a great composition.The film is voiced, written and directed by Angus McLane, who will soon have his first feature film out, a TV movie sequel to the Toy Story franchise. Hopefully, it won't be as underwhelming as this one.

gtyj1990 This short feature - that comes on the DVD and Blu-ray disc of WALL-E (2008) - tells the background story of Burn-E (Basic Utility Robot Nano Engineer), a persistent little robot whose job it is to replace light posts on the exterior of BnL's Axiom spacecraft, which houses Earth's people while robots such as WALL-E (Waste Allocation Load Lifter-Earth-class) clean up the mess they left behind on their planet.It's an amusing story that takes place during the feature film, though Burn-E's existence is only briefly shown as a robot frustrated that WALL-E and EVE (Extraterrestial Vegetation Evaluator) have entered the portal from which he'd exited, which causes it to close (effectively locking him out of the Axiom). This same scene transpires about half way through the short.In this featurette, Burn-E is called to action when a light post needs replacing: 'he' retrieves a replacement post and 'runs' down a long track interior to the Axiom before he arrives at the aforementioned portal (which opens so that Burn-E can get to the location of the missing post); the robot then attempts to install a new post by welding it into place. However, various 'accidents' occur which cause the replacement post to 'escape' and drift into outer space, so Burn-E has to repeat the process of retrieving a new post, after which he attempts to complete the task again and again unsuccessfully.Though Burn-E's persistence is eventually rewarded, it's only temporary!
