The first forty minutes here are almost silent. The trash robot alone compresses the abandoned Earth into neat cubes, collects lighters and a worn-out cassette of a musical, and in the evenings re-watches other people's dances — and all of this is told by Stanton through movement, sound, and a pair of binocular lenses instead of eyes. The appearance of the scout robot EVE triggers a nearly wordless romance, and the second half takes the action to a ship where the remnants of humanity have not gotten out of their chairs for several generations. Pixar in 2008 did a rare thing: a children's animated film that is both a satire on consumption and a post-apocalyptic science fiction, as well as a love letter to silent cinema. The sound design for the robot was created by Ben Burtt — the same person who invented the voices for 'Star Wars'. And the most tender scene of the film is the dance in open space with a fire extinguisher.
