In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

It's 2805 A.D. Humanity had launched itself into space on the spaceship Axiom leaving behind a mess on Earth to be cleaned up by robots before the people return. A small meteorite hits a lighting spire outside of the ship. BURN-E is a repair robot and sent to replace the spire. However, things keep going wrong. Not the least of which, WALL-E's pursuit of EVE is interfering and the ship lands back on Earth. Nevertheless, BURN-E is programmed to repair the damage no matter what. This is a nice companion piece to WALL-E but not much more than that as a stand-alone. It interacts with the story tangentially. The comedy is light fun. It's nice to see but only after watching WALL-E.

This DVD extra isn't trying to the sort of brilliance that distinguished Wall-E. It's jut a cute shot that tells a story that runs concurrently with some of Wall-E.There were a couple of years between when I saw Wall-E and when I saw this, and I think that mutes the humor for me. I feel like if I'd just seen the movie and immediately watched this that it would have more resonance.Even then though, this is pretty much of a throwaway. It's cute and mildly humorous, but it doesn't really stand on its own. But if you've just seen the movie, or remember it very distinctly, this is worth taking a look at.

Produced as a DVD extra for the movie Wall-E. This gives the animator to make a spin off short and have an excuse to feature scenes from Wall-E.BURN-E is a small repair robot. When an external light is faulty, BURN- E goes to repair it but at each attempt he is thwarted by the arrival of WALL-E or the chaos he creates.The makers do well in giving BURN-E personality in such a short space of time when there is a danger of the character being constantly upstaged by the appearance from WALL-E and the footage from the parent film. Children will of course find this short animation fun.

I first saw this short when I rented 'WALL-E' a few years ago and while it was initially forgettable apart from BURN-E being locked out, two further viewings since recently owning the film gave me a better understanding of what the short's about.Basically the short is about BURN-E's several failed attempts at fixing one of the exterior lights on the Axiom whilst taking place alongside different parts of the film in a similar manner to 'Jack-Jack Attack' tying in with various scenes in 'The Incredibles.' The opening shot of WALL-E running his hand through the rings of Saturn whilst clinging onto the ship destined for Axiom is beautiful as is the segment of WALL-E and EVE dancing in the sky to gorgeous music. Shortly afterwards they fly back inside the Axiom and cause BURN-E to be locked out, thus making it the best and most memorable part that ties in with the film. Not only was the sky-dancing music a treat to the ears but also BURN-E humming 'Song Of Joy/Ode To Joy,' which was used as the closing theme. I did find this short a tad rushed due to it taking place alongside several scenes of 'WALL-E,' but it has a lot of the same elements as the main feature and the usual metallic textures.Overall this is one of the best feature-related Pixar shorts that is only just above par with 'Dug's Special Mission' and 'Jack-Jack Attack.' 8.5/10 to round up to IMDb's 9/10 rating.
