Wall-E (2008)

Corrected entry: At the end of the film when EVE is repairing Wall-e she takes out his old burned board and replaces it with a new one. Later when they hold hands she comes close and electrocutes him and his memory is back. How is that possible when his central processor (board) is burned and gone? The song that EVE tries to play on him is gone, but not his memory. It doesn't make any sense.

Correction: Whatever anomaly that gave WALL-E his personality, even though he's not meant to be either virtually or artificially intelligent, allowed him to retain his memories.

Wall-E (2008)

Corrected entry: When Wall-e shows the plant to EVE, in space, it should have disintegrated because it contains fluids which evaporate in space (even in such a small period of time).

dux

Correction: "Contained" being the operative word here. The cellular walls of the plant prevented the fluids from evaporating, just like the cellular walls of a human being's dermal layer of skin keep the fluid in his or her cells from evaporating in space.

Wall-E (2008)

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.

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.

Wall-E (2008)

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.

Correction: The dirt would have since become fairly well packed. Even so, it would require some sort of inertial force to "rise" out of the shoe. Wall-E was being careful.

Wall-E (2008)

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.

Wall-E (2008)

Correction: The evacuation occurred in our future. We don't know what kind of batteries they could have come up with. We don't have Wast Allocation Load Lifter technology yet either.
