So I recently rewatched WALL-E and I noticed something interesting.
It;s been mentioned numerous times before that the creators of WALL-E included many obvious homages to other sci-fi classics - most referenced are 2001: A Space Odyssey, Silent Running, Short Circuit, Logan’s Run, & Star Wars. But oddly enough, Star Trek has never been included in any lists I’ve seen.
This is a travesty! A travesty I tell you!
We have ‘Heroic Character A’ sacrificing himself to save others:
We have ‘Heroic Character B’ desperate when they discover this:
…and grieving when it appears that character A is lost:
But wait! There is a second chance. So they return home:
…to their family:
…and get fixed:
Character B is cautiously optimistic:
…only to be devastated when it seems Character A doesn’t remember:
Body and mind are repaired, but he doesn’t remember Character B:
And then there is something- a flash or recognition. (Jim…):
And there is joy:
And while everyone else celebrates, they only have eyes for each other:
(and I feel like I should add a comment about how if one of these movies is identified as a love story, why isn’t the other, but really, it’s pretty obvious they are both love stories.)

“WORLD WAR 2….
GERMANY’S BACK, AND THIS TIME….
IT’S PERSONAL”
