Burn-E

Poor Burn-E He just wanted to fix the Light from the Ship It keeps Failed all the time. I laugh about it! This was a COMEDY MASTERPIECE!

Having absolutely loved WALL-E, I was all for seeing the short film that came with it. Burn-E is just as good as the movie it featured with, and while not quite in the same league as Geri's Game, Knick Knack, Jack-Jack Attack, Presto and One Man Band, it is one of Pixar's better short films to me. The animation with beautiful colours and atmospheric backgrounds is amazing, the music is haunting and understated and the story has an enchanting atmosphere to it. Burn-E may be a one-joke short, but seeing as the joke itself is funny, it works brilliantly. Burn-E, like WALL-E, is not just endearing but there is a very human side to him which makes us identify with him all the more. In conclusion, beautifully animated and enchanting, this is a great short film and perhaps one of the better one-joke animations I've seen. 9/10 Bethany Cox

The adventures of BURN-E, a robot on the same ship as WALL-E and EVE. BURN-E's main job is fixing damaged machinery. He pretty much spends his entire day welding (hence his name). His daily routine is severely disrupted due to WALL-E and EVE's romance, as this causes all sorts of mishaps with the spaceship. Not only are his work and routine disrupted but one such mishap results in him being locked out of the spaceship. From there all manner of adventures ensue.

Cute, sweet short, made in conjunction with the movie WALL-E (2008). A nice little add-on to that great movie. An interesting plot with a great punch-line at the end.

With seven and a half minutes of duration, "Burn-E" was directed by Angus Mac Lane, and tells the story of an unlucky robot who tries to change a light bulb on the Axiom ship. WALL-E pursuit of EVE causes problems for a welding repair robot (Angus Mac Lane)... Cute... If BURN-E, a robot welder, had known how much work he would have because of WALL-E and EVE, he would have taken the day off...

Despite remembering very little, almost nothing of the original Wall-e, I watched it a long time ago, however this cult is so nice to watch, that we are left with a taste of wanting more, I watched it at my goddaughter's company who also adopted... good, very good... Cute...

Produced as a DVD extra for the movie Wall-E. This gives the animator to make a spin off short and have an excuse to feature scenes from Wall-E.

BURN-E is a small repair robot. When an external light is faulty, BURN- E goes to repair it but at each attempt he is thwarted by the arrival of WALL-E or the chaos he creates.

The makers do well in giving BURN-E personality in such a short space of time when there is a danger of the character being constantly upstaged by the appearance from WALL-E and the footage from the parent film. Children will of course find this short animation fun.
