WALL-E Garbage Airlock Comparison (Final vs. Deleted Scene)

The final version is better because of EVE. In every scene previously, except for the dance in space, she was mean to WALL•E and only cared for her main mission to get the plant to the Axiom WALL•E was kinda a creep to her on Earth but that was because he was alone all his life and didn't have interaction with anyone. When EVE looked through her memory on the Axiom she realised WALL•E is the kind lost soul looking for a connection with someone but had a hard time showing it due to being socially awkward. We already knew WALL•E would do anything for EVE. Even take damage to the point of robot-death at that point but we didn't know about if EVE could do it. EVE really needed a scene to show she cares for WALL•E and not only the mission. This scene does that. In a romance film. Both romantic leads have to not be in a toxic relationship and not feel one-sided with cemistry from both the leads. Up to that point it kinda just felt like WALL•E just simping and EVE being dangerous & not really caring about him so their relationship could've become toxic but this scene shown that EVE can have a softer & more gentler side. She can care and not be dangerous to her love. While WALL•E goes from being a silly simp to taking things more seriously and got going with EVE's mission to save humanity. Only thing missing from the final film now is WALL•E interacting with the WALL•As. That was adorable how one of the WALL•As patted on WALL•E's head.

I love how the big guys just watch WALL-E compact a tiny cube of trash and just give him a parents’ pat. “Well aren’t you just a cute one!”

So, the original version had Eve get injured but fixed, but the final version had Walle injured and not fixed until they returned to Earth? I'm glad they went with the final version.

The final version is nice, but its cute to see the bigger Wall-E's acknowledge Wall-E Edit: I am aware they're called WALL-A's-

1:55 that lil eye expression they make

We didn't really need Wall-E showing his devotion for the 5th time, it was a smart decision to have Eve show that she reciprocated.

As sweet as the original version is, I'm really glad Pixar decided to go with the final version of this scene instead. Not that I liked seeing WALL-E get electrocuted, but Iove how that scene added a level of depth to EVE's character that hadn't been shown in the rest of the movie. Up to this point, all EVE has cared about is fulfilling her directive, but now she's learned to find a life beyond her programming by falling in love with WALL-E. Her gesture of discarding the plant seems to say "My directive is you."

I personally like the final version better, but it is really really nice to see an alternate reality to what could've happened, since im so used to the original

The final version is my favorite. It also gives us another reason why our characters have to return to Earth. Wall-e can only be repaired in Earth, not in the Axiom. Its not just a chance to live anymore, its also a chance to save someone

I love the final version of this scene because it not only makes everything more tense; from the Wall-A's introduction, to the airlock, to the general stakes leading up to the finale. (I mean, Wall-E's dying, so I'd say the stakes are pretty high!) But it also give EVE a chance to shine, finally breaking from her Directive entirely to focus her care on Wall-E. It's really sweet and it makes the story feel way more complete, overall. Though, I can admit. The Wall-A patting their baby version on the head, causing Wall-E to sink down into the trash, or Wall-E's stunned "woah" at seeing the airlock is immensely charming, and that can never be replaced.

imagine if one in a million copies of this movie had THAT unused airlock scene. They'd be sold for fortunes

It's kind of romantic how both are about saving the other in there own way just flpped perspectives

5:47 final version: EVE is a jedi deleted version: EVE is a sith lord.

I honestly am glad they went with the final version. It works better because honestly by this point we already know how Wall-E cares for EvE him doing yet another good thing for her would just feel repetitive and predictable. The final version shows how much EvE had grown and developed as a character now realizing how much she cares for Wall-E and finding more to care for than just her directive. It also gives more urgency for Wall-E when he is crushed and makes you really want him to be fixed when they get back to earth. While it would have been nice to see those go at Wall-As be all like, “aww it’s a little us I want to adopt him,” the final ending overall is better for the story.

WALL-E’s “woah” at 0:54 is just adorable. I’m sorry.

Seeing WALL-E doomed to die and eve realizing her love but desperate to save him hits way harder than basic "hero saves girl" trope. But also gives more character to WALL-E when he basically says "Forget about me, save them."

Fun Fact: the deleted version was used as a level in the videogame adaptation

It's interesting how the deleted scene highlighted Wall-E's strength, agility, and his laser more so than the finished movie did. And had this scene been completed, Wall-E likely could have shown much more strength and resilience than he did when he was injured towards the end of the finished movie.

A cool detail is that, a lot of those animated movies between 2000 and 2010 had ur trailers different from the final versions, but when they did got an game adaptation, they did follow what the trailer did show, for example Wall E itself, another example is Flushed Away, as I remember, in the trailer the main character had two butlers, but in the final version they don't exist, but in the game they are there.

I can definitely see what they were going for in the original, but the final version is so much better for a variety of reasons. 1. From a logical standpoint, it simply makes more sense that given how old Wall-E is that he'd be the broken one while EVE is fine, as opposed to the other way around. 2. The way they handled Wall-E's injury, seeing him hobble around on his barely working wheels and clearly having a difficult time making even the smallest movements, creates a much bigger emotional impact, as opposed to the original version where EVE just sorta laid there until Wall-E fixed her and then it was like nothing had happened at all. Especially since Wall-E remains injured for the remainder of the film, and when he does get fixed, he has amnesia. 3. It creates a parallel in the dynamic up to that point, an important one too. Up to that point, all Wall-E cared about was getting with EVE, while EVE didn't really care about him and just wanted to do her job. But here, it's the opposite. Wall-E is begging EVE to take the plant and fulfill her directive, seeing it as being more important than himself (which is further amplified by him putting himself at risk to keep the platform up later on). EVE, on the other hand, has finally learned to exist beyond her programming, and goes directly against it in order to try and help Wall-E. And I think this parallel is important as it highlights how much the two have changed. With the original scene, the characters do the same thing they've been doing all throughout, which makes later scenes feel not as earned. It's harder to believe. You've gotta commend Pixar for what they did here. THe original scene was perfectly fine. Nobody would have complained if that was the one in the final cut. But they didn't let it just be "good enough", they changed it to create what is, in my opinion, one of the best scenes in the entire movie. Give the corporate side of Disney all the shit, they deserve it, but you can tell the movies themselves are made by artists. Also, I like how they carried over Wall-E and M-O's little handshake, that was great.
