Wally has had in that time is with the
trash we’ve left behind that is until he
meets Eve a new robot who’s been sent to
earth to search for signs of vegetation
it would be easy to overlook this movie
as a simple animated sci-fi rom-com but
the sheer brilliance in the delivery of
the underlying message regarding the
dangers of over consumerism remains
front and center throughout making it a
thought-provoking but hopeful tale of
environmentalism I don’t think they’ve
changed we’ve gotta go back sir or
