Corrected entry: In the scene where Wall-E is playing Pong, he gets 2000 points. The real video game freezes once you get 21 points.
Corrected entry: The Zippo lighters that Wall-E has (and EVE lights) would not work without being refilled often. Zippo fluid will evaporate over a short period of time.
Correction: All the lighters shown carry the Buy N Large logo on them, suggesting strongly that these were made some considerable time from the present day. It cannot be said what design changes may have been made in the interim that could allow them to continue to function indefinitely.
Corrected entry: When Wall-E first finds the plant, he delicately places the plant with some dirt inside of the shoe. Later on in the film, when Wall-E is in free floating in space, he takes out the shoe to demonstrate to EVE that he has the plant. The dirt so delicately placed in the shoe would surely float freely in zero gravity.
Corrected entry: When Wall-E is sitting with Eve on top of his truck, in one scene he sits on the edge and plays with his treads. Listen to the pitches of the sounds he makes; he's using his treads to "play" the tune for "Put On Your Sunday Clothes".
Corrected entry: During one of the space scenes, Wall-E and Eve talk to each other. In space, there is no air. It is nothingness. Sound travels in vibrations through the air, therefore there cannot be sound in space.
Correction: They were built in the future. It is feasible that they communicate wirelessly but also vocalise transmissions.
Corrected entry: When the captain of the Axiom is first introduced, the camera pans across a series of previous captains, each increasing in their lack of fitness and therefore presumably representing a progression of all the captains since the Axiom first left Earth. Because only six captains are shown, service as captain would need to exceed 115 years each in order to span the voyage of the Axiom. Assuming one must be at least 20 before assuming command and one becomes no longer capable in the later 5 years of life, humans in this future would be living over 140 years. Physically fit persons might be able to do this, but it would be highly unlikely for such widespread lack of fitness to lend to such long life spans.
Correction: The pictures in the captain's quarters include their dates of service, so it can be worked out that the first five captains served for an average of 133 years, suggesting a lifespan of at least 160 years. Given that these dates are given in the film, it can be clearly stated that humans in this reality do live for that length of time, therefore this mistake is purely based on your opinion that they shouldn't, which is not an acceptable basis for an error. Bear in mind that the Axiom doesn't take off until the early 22nd century - more than enough time for considerable medical advances to have been made, potentially extending the human lifespan to an unknown degree. While the humans on-board lack physical fitness, they are extremely well looked after, with their every need taken care of - it's inconceivable that the ship doesn't contain advanced medical equipment to keep the passengers going as long as possible.
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.
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.
Corrected entry: EVE stands for "Extra Terrestrial Vegetation Evaluator" but she is evaluating terrestrial vegetation. Unless she was designed before the Axiom left Earth, it would make more sense for her to be named TVE. However, she has a very sophisticated design, so it is unlikely she was designed that long ago. Her name doesn't make sense in accordance with her design, but it is much more pronounceable.
Correction: Many organizations arrange their names or names of their products to make easily pronouncable acronyms, hence EVE and not ETVE or TVE. Also, as you mention, she was probably designed not too long ago. With the human population living on the Axion for 800 years the spaceship has now become their home world; everything outside the ship would be considered extra terrestrial.
Corrected entry: During the final fight between the Captain and Auto, the ship gets tilted and all the occupants slide to one side. Assuming that the inside of the ship has some sort of artificial gravity (given that, when outside, Wall-E and Eve experiment weightlessness), the pull would always be perpendicular to the ship floor, independent of the tilt of the ship relative to an external observer. There is no "up" in space.
Correction: This has previously been submitted and corrected, but apparently the original submitter removed the entry. It was decided that Auto had total control over all the ships navigational functions, including the artificial gravity. Auto must have adjusted the pull of the artificial gravity to keep everyone away from the device that would initiate the ship's return to Earth.
Corrected entry: WALL-E doesn't start recording "It Only Takes A Moment" until partway through the song. When he plays it back, however, it starts at the beginning, which is impossible since that part didn't get recorded in the first place.
Correction: He's been watching the movie for decades, and he watches it several times during the film, so it's not unreasonable to assume he recorded the full scene at a later time.
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.
Corrected entry: Wall-E only knows the name of the other robot as Eve-a (as he calls her throughout the film), but when lasering their names into the pole, he writes "Wall-E & Eve". Since he never saw her name printed (and never corrected his pronounciation) he should have carved "Eve-a".
Correction: The mispronunciation is not because he doesn't know her name, but because his "voice" has limited capabilities. he can't make a "v" sound without the "uh" after it.
Corrected entry: In several scenes where one of the characters is holding a cigarette lighter, the tip of the flame is rounded but the reflection on the robots shows the flame coming to a point.
Correction: I've watched this movie four times and cannot see this error. Remember, it is a Zippo-style lighter; the flame is wider along the length of the casing and much more narrow along the width. The reflection of the flame may appear to come to a point as the angle between the lighter and the reflective surface changes.
Corrected entry: When Eva and Walle are in the rain and Walle covers her with an umbrella, Walle is to Eva's left. When Eva goes over her security camera and watches Walle cover her with the umbrella, Walle is facing her.
Correction: The skin of Eve is complicated, as we can see the "search" lights work through the skin with no visible lenses. It is safe to assume the camera systems are fairly complex and 360 degrees of recording.
Corrected entry: In the scene where Wall-E and Eva are flying through space together outside the ship and the fat characters see them, John first has a blue suit, and right after he is wearing a red one. (01:05:45)
Correction: It is fairly well established the red/blue mechanisms in the suits were instant and seemed to change in many different conditions, so for all we know it kept changing.
Corrected entry: When Wall E and Eva are floating in space outside the space cruiser they have the plant in their hands. As soon as the plant was exposed, it should have died as there is no oxygen in space.
Correction: This is a common misconception. Exposure to space is not instant death. Heat transfer in vacuum is very inefficient and plants do not use oxygen (they give off oxygen). An average living organism can survive for approximately 30 seconds in outer space and Wall-E had the plant out for only 5-7 seconds.
Corrected entry: When everybody was going to the central area where the plant was being deposited, they all had special helmets on, but when they were all there and fell out of their chairs nobody was wearing them - if they all took them off or they fell off there were none on the ground either.
Correction: When they are falling off the chairs you can see that the helmets were connected to the chairs.
Corrected entry: When the Captain is doing the morning announcements, he states how it's the 255,642 day on the Axium making it the 700th anniversary. This can't be true since in 700 years (including leap years) there would be 255,675 days. And if they weren't including leap years (given that on a spaceship allowing for the earth's rotation wouldn't be necessary) there would be 255,500 days.
Correction: This is assuming that they're still using the Gregorian calendar for measuring the number of days in a year (and even then, your figures are incorrect because 1 in every 200 years, the leap year is *not* observed). In the far future depicted in the film, it's possible that humanity has developed a newer calendar.
Correction: Wall-E is a considerably sophisticated robot, that has seemingly evolved past mere artificial intelligence to actual sentient self-awareness. Like many of his hodge-podged possessions, he has reprogrammed the game to make a session last longer.
