Corrected entry: The plant WALL-E found was in a dark fridge. It shouldn't be alive without water or light.

Wall-E (2008)
Corrected entry: In the ship's waste room, there are countless massive piles of metal rubbish. Where is all that metal waste from? The sheer amount of it can't only be bits from broken robots/systems; since the waste is being compacted and released one big pile at a time, even 700 years worth of broken robot bits wouldn't amount to that mass with regular expulsion.
Correction: We only ever see the "passenger" area of the cruise ship. There could be massive mechanical systems (life support, the reactor, etc) that is hidden from public view but still needs replacement parts and still produces scrap.

Wall-E (2008)
Corrected entry: When in the repair ward, a robot puts a load of make-up on Wall-E's face and then when he is in his 'cell', a Hoover-looking robot sneezes on him and the white powder is blasted all over his face. In the very next shot of Wall-E, the make-up is all gone.
Correction: There are several camera cuts between the application and removal of the make-up: first person shots, seeing other bots, etc: Each time we see Wall-E he has less and less makeup on and VA-QM has had enough time to clean him off.

Wall-E (2008)
Corrected entry: In the end, when it is panning out to the credits, the shorter building in the middle reads "Buy O Large" instead of "Buy N Large" or BNL, as it says during the rest of the movie.
Correction: It's a circle with an N in it- a dark N, which probably means the red one fell off some time in the last 700 years.

Corrected entry: The Captain is holding a globe. When he drops it, it falls to his right, but in the following shot, as he moves forward, the globe is shown hitting the floor on his left.
Correction: It slides off his right side, then bounces off the wall and rolls underneath him- by the time we see the wide shot, it's correctly on his left.

Wall-E (2008)
Corrected entry: Auto sees the plant, and orders "A113" (the order to destroy the plant to prevent the ship from going back to the Earth) is flashed on his visor. Then why does Auto present the plant to the Captain, instead of destroying it right now without the Captain learning about it?
Correction: Auto never shows the Captain the plant. He has the helper bot (GO-4) take it from EVE before she can present it, and gets her sent to the repair ward. If he had tried to cover up the fact that EVE returned positive at all, he could have been found out; the ship was made to make a big deal of this and no doubt several logs were made as soon as she returned aboard. (Plus, EVE would know) Auto DID try to destroy the plant, using GO-4 and the escape pod.

Correction: Seeds can sprout into small plants with leaves in total darkness as long as there's water. They can't grow into large plants, but they can sprout- and that's all the plant is at that point.

But for a plant to be green, it needs to use photosynthesis, which can't happen without the sun.
