In June 2008, Walt Disney came out with a film "Wall-e." The movie was about a robot named Wall-e who was left to clean up the Earth's trash while humans went on a spaceship cruise. The Earth was supposed to go through a regeneration period, and the humans would be able to return once life was found. Robots on the spaceship were sent down every so often to check on the status. One day, while Wall-e was cleaning the dump area, a spaceship landed and a girl robot came out. It was love at first sight for Wall-e. The girl robot, Eve, found a baby plant and had to return to the spaceship. Wall-e followed her because he didn't want to lose Eve. Through many adventures, the spaceship came back to Earth because humans could now live there.
I thought this movie was stereotypical to both males and females. Wall-e was a dirty, falling-apart robot. He was left on Earth to clean up everyone's trash and do the dirty work. Eve was created on the spaceship and was extremely clean and a much better looking robot. I think the movie "Wall-e" was sending messages that men are for doing the hard labor and don't keep themselves up as well as women do. Walt Disney showed that these robots had differences and they were able to overcome them to find true love.
The following is a link to a "Wall-e" trailer.
