BURN·E Audience Reviews

Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
SnoopyStyle 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.
Stompgal_87 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.
Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) I might start by saying that, unlike most movie-goers, I'm not a great fan of the film "Wall-E" at all. But at the same time, I always love a me a decent animation movie and there's some from Pixar that I genuinely enjoy, such as the Toy Story films or the first 15 minutes from "Up". So "Burn-E" shall have his fair chance. And as expected, I was not too wowed by this 8-minute short-film. The animation is good as in every Pixar film, but the story was so messy that it was occasionally even hard to see what exactly was going on. Maybe it was primarily directed at very young children who don't really need a plot to enjoy a movie if the animation is decent and the scenes are funny enough. Not that they actually were. "Wall-E" lovers will probably like it more than myself and enjoy the central character, who looks much more futuristic than Wall-E, all the gimmicks included and cameos from Wall-E, Eve and the obese humans. Admittedly the end sequence including "Freude schöner Götterfunken" made it up for me a bit. It's such a great composition.The film is voiced, written and directed by Angus McLane, who will soon have his first feature film out, a TV movie sequel to the Toy Story franchise. Hopefully, it won't be as underwhelming as this one.
TheLittleSongbird Having absolutely loved WALL-E, I was all for seeing the short film that came with it. Burn-E is just as good as the movie it featured with, and while not quite in the same league as Geri's Game, Knick Knack, Jack-Jack Attack, Presto and One Man Band, it is one of Pixar's better short films to me. The animation with beautiful colours and atmospheric backgrounds is amazing, the music is haunting and understated and the story has an enchanting atmosphere to it. Burn-E may be a one-joke short, but seeing as the joke itself is funny, it works brilliantly. Burn-E, like WALL-E, is not just endearing but there is a very human side to him which makes us identify with him all the more. In conclusion, beautifully animated and enchanting, this is a great short film and perhaps one of the better one-joke animations I've seen. 9/10 Bethany Cox
