Updated on 11 July 2008
Wall-E is an animated film about a rubbish clearing robot that's compared to masterpieces like Citizen Kane.
Wall-E, the latest offering from the animation company Pixar, is hailed as "Al Gore's worst case global warming nightmare made real".
But according to its makers it's just a love story between two robots.
Now owned by Disney, some believe its anti-consumerist message may clash with bosses.
In any case, as with all Pixar films, it's gone straight to number one in America.
