“What is the point of living? In my mind, the point of living is to love.” Stanton’s words to the Guardian are reflected in Wall•E — essentially a love story, but specifically about a robot’s awareness of the ability to love. Part of what inspired Stanton to create Wall•E was the exploration of the question that if a robot was left to repeat the same menial task over and over again for centuries, would it ever question the monotony of its job? “I love the idea of this machine coming to that awareness and seeing what came of that.” While Stanton has used non-human characters to convey his stories, Wall•E is, in essence, the fruition of Stanton’s true beliefs as a storyteller, since the characters themselves don’t even really speak. Stanton believes “if you can orchestrate your story right without much dialogue, you can really get some powerful responses from your audience.” It’s hard not to underplay Stanton’s reputation of delivering classic animated movies. “It hasn’t been since Toy Story that I’ve been this excited about the originality of a movie … you knew that it was one of a kind.”
