BadNews R Burn-E is an eight-minute Disney Pixar short that spins off from Wall-E and follows the story of one of the background robots we briefly see in the main film. While Wall-E itself is a masterpiece, Burn-E gives us a fun side adventure that shows just how much care Pixar puts into even the smallest corners of its universe. What makes this short so creative is how it blends comedy, world-building, and character focus all in such a tight runtime. Instead of giving us a direct sequel to Wall-E (which sadly we’ve never received, despite how beloved it is), Pixar expands the universe by exploring a single character’s misadventures. Burn-E isn’t a lead in the original film, but here he gets his moment to shine — and it’s both hilarious and surprisingly charming. The short follows Burn-E’s attempt to complete a simple task, but in true Pixar fashion, every possible thing goes wrong. The storytelling is visual, witty, and perfectly timed, making it easy to connect with this little repair-bot despite the lack of dialogue. His frustration, determination, and resilience give him an almost human personality, which is part of the brilliance of Pixar’s animation style. I especially love how the short overlaps with events from Wall-E. While we see Burn-E struggling with his own problem, we catch glimpses of the larger story unfolding, almost like an Easter egg for fans. It’s clever, it’s immersive, and it reinforces the sense that this world is alive beyond just the main narrative. Even though it’s only eight minutes long, Burn-E gives us more of the magic from the Wall-E universe. It’s a reminder of why Pixar stands apart: their ability to take even a minor character and give them depth, humor, and heart. Verdict: Burn-E is short, sweet, and incredibly fun. It doesn’t replace the longing many fans still have for a proper Wall-E sequel, but it gives us a little more time in that world, and that alone makes it worth revisiting again and again.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member It just goes to show how funny Pixar can be when they aren't breaking your heart when they decide to make a short film that retells the events of WALL-E completely from the perspective of a random background robot and his own misadventures. An acceptable compromise for the lack of a proper sequel seeing how most of Pixar's original movies tend to have nothing to gain from a continuation of the story (yeah, they have nowhere to go for a hypothetical WALL-E 2).
