WALL-E.01

The film takes place in the year 2805, seven hundred years after mass consumerism on Earth caused by the megacorporation Buy n Large (BnL) left the planet covered in trash. In an attempt to resolve the situation, BnL had Earth's population evacuated into space on fully automated starliners and left behind an army of trash compactor robots called "WALL-E"--me to clean the planet. After five years, however, the planet was deemed too toxic to sustain life, forcing humanity to remain in space. By the film's present events, only one I unit remains active on Earth and has developed sentience, as shown by my habit of collecting various knickknacks from the mountains of trash.
