Review of Burn-E

Burn-E (2008 Video)
7/10
A decent but not super-distinguished DVD extra
7 March 2009
Warning: Spoilers
BURN-E is a short extra film that was packaged with the DVD of WALL-E. The film takes place during the climactic chase scene in WALL-E but instead of featuring Eve and WALL-E, a new robot (BURN-E) is the star.

BURN-E is a maintenance robot whose job involves replacing lights on the exterior of the ship. When one is broken, BURN-E hops into action but again and again he loses the lights and must go back and get more. Then, once his job is complete, he's locked out of the ship and must try to find some way back to his little niche in the ship.

This is a good film to watch with WALL-E as it gives an alternate view of what's happening during the full-length film (sort of like the JACK-JACK ATTACK short that was included with THE INCREDIBLES). However, don't expect magic--it's only a decent short and it won't change your life if you miss it. Speaking of magic, the short PRESTO is also included on the DVD and is a vastly superior and much funnier short.
