WALL-E took a significant narrative risk when telling the story of the titular robot, one that Disney only dared to take once 67 years ago.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Pixar's sci-fi romance film WALL-E took a significant storytelling risk, which had only been attempted once before. WALL-E takes viewers to the year 2805, where a solitary robot named WALL-E, works daily to clean up a deserted Earth. Humanity now resided in space on a giant starliner, awaiting the day they can travel back to their clean home planet.

WALL-E brought to life lovable characters, beautiful animation, and a captivating storyline, all while delivering a poignant message about climate change and setting the bar high for upcoming Pixar movies. The movie ended up winning the Oscar for Best Animated Film in 2008. As WALL-E salvages parts from inactive robots and interacts with his pet cockroach it is clear that one thing is missing from the film: dialogue.

Pixar's WALL-E Repeated Disney's Huge 1941 Risk The absence of dialogue from the protagonist and titular character in WALL-E was a rarity in Disney's history, occurring only once before in 1941 with Dumbo. Dumbo tells the story of a young elephant, who is scrutinized for his incredibly large ears. However, when he shows the members of the circus his gift of flight with his ears, he becomes beloved by all.

WALL-E & Dumbo Both Work For The Exact Same Reason Despite the risk assumed, both Dumbo and WALL-E manage to captivate their audiences for several reasons. Firstly, the animation in both films skillfully conveys a wide range of emotions through the character’s expressions, allowing viewers to immediately connect with them.

Likewise, when Dumbo is taunted by the other elephants at the circus it is clear through his expressions and droopy ears that he is deeply saddened. Furthermore, both movies feature exceptional scores that breathe life into their narratives, setting the tone and pace for the stories of these non-speaking protagonists.
