All about this movie!

Rampant consumerism and environmental neglect in the 29th century has turned Earth into a deserted planet that is no longer inhabitable. Earth is now a wasteland filled with garbage. Humans have been evacuated by the megacorporation Buy -N-Large (BnL) on giant starliners 7 centuries ago. Only one of the robotic trash compactors left by BnL to clean up the garbage on Earth remains operational. Its official classification is a Waste Allocation Load-Lifter (Earth Class), or WALL-E.
Its daily routine of turning garbage into garbage cubes is disrupted by the arrival of an unmanned probe carrying an Extraterrestrial Vegetation Evaluator, or EVE, that was sent to scan the planet for plant life. The two robots make contact and exchange some degree of emotions. EVE, however, goes into standby when WALL-E shows her his most recent find: which is a living seedling. The probe returns to collect EVE with the plant. WALL-E clings onto the probe and makes its way into the mothership, the starliner AXIOM.

The humans inhabiting inside the AXIOM were shocking. In the centuries since the AXIOM left Earth, its passengers have degenerated their muscles and mobility due to laziness and microgravity. They are catered by machines all day. Captain McCrea, the captain of the starliner, does basically nothing while his robotic lieutenant AUTO flies the ship. He finds out about the discovery of plant life on Earth, but learns that placing the plant in the ship’s Holo-Detector will trigger a hyperjump back to Earth so humanity can begin recolonization.
Captain McCrea watches EVE’s video recordings and concludes that they have to go back to Earth. AUTO, however, refuses and reveals its own secret no-return directive called A113. AUTO mutinies, electrocutes WALL-E, shuts down EVE, and confines the captain. However, EVE gets rebooted and helps WALL-E bring the plant to the ship’s Holo-Detector. Unfortunately, WALL-E gets crushed by AUTO, but McCrea deactivates it during the hyperjump to Earth.
AXION arrives back on Earth after 7 centuries of voyage. EVE repairs WALL-E, but realizes that his memory has been reset. In dismay, EVE gives WALL-E a farewell kiss. The kiss sparks WALL-E’s memory and restores his original personality. The two robots reunite in happiness, as the humans and robots of the AXIOM take their first steps on Earth.
During the credit scene, humans and robots learn to farm, fish, and build, successfully turning the ravaged planet into a paradise.
