WALL-E Garbage Airlock Comparison (Final vs. Deleted Scene) 

The final version is better because of EVE. In every scene previously, except for the dance in space, she was mean to WALL•E and only cared for her main mission to get the plant to the Axiom WALL•E was kinda a creep to her on Earth but that was because he was alone all his life and didn't have interaction with anyone. When EVE looked through her memory on the Axiom she realised WALL•E is the kind lost soul looking for a connection with someone but had a hard time showing it due to being socially awkward. We already knew WALL•E would do anything for EVE. Even take damage to the point of robot-death at that point but we didn't know about if EVE could do it. EVE really needed a scene to show she cares for WALL•E and not only the mission. This scene does that. In a romance film. Both romantic leads have to not be in a toxic relationship and not feel one-sided with cemistry from both the leads. Up to that point it kinda just felt like WALL•E just simping and EVE being dangerous & not really caring about him so their relationship could've become toxic but this scene shown that EVE can have a softer & more gentler side. She can care and not be dangerous to her love. While WALL•E goes from being a silly simp to taking things more seriously and got going with EVE's mission to save humanity. Only thing missing from the final film now is WALL•E interacting with the WALL•As. That was adorable how one of the WALL•As patted on WALL•E's head.

I love how the big guys just watch WALL-E compact a tiny cube of trash and just give him a parents’ pat. “Well aren’t you just a cute one!”

So, the original version had Eve get injured but fixed, but the final version had Walle injured and not fixed until they returned to Earth? I'm glad they went with the final version.

The final version is nice, but its cute to see the bigger Wall-E's acknowledge Wall-E Edit: I am aware they're called WALL-A's-

1:55 that lil eye expression they make

We didn't really need Wall-E showing his devotion for the 5th time, it was a smart decision to have Eve show that she reciprocated.

As sweet as the original version is, I'm really glad Pixar decided to go with the final version of this scene instead. Not that I liked seeing WALL-E get electrocuted, but Iove how that scene added a level of depth to EVE's character that hadn't been shown in the rest of the movie. Up to this point, all EVE has cared about is fulfilling her directive, but now she's learned to find a life beyond her programming by falling in love with WALL-E. Her gesture of discarding the plant seems to say "My directive is you."

I personally like the final version better, but it is really really nice to see an alternate reality to what could've happened, since im so used to the original

The final version is my favorite. It also gives us another reason why our characters have to return to Earth. Wall-e can only be repaired in Earth, not in the Axiom. Its not just a chance to live anymore, its also a chance to save someone

I love the final version of this scene because it not only makes everything more tense; from the Wall-A's introduction, to the airlock, to the general stakes leading up to the finale. (I mean, Wall-E's _dying,_ so I'd say the stakes are pretty high!) But it also give EVE a chance to shine, finally breaking from her Directive entirely to focus her care on Wall-E. It's really sweet and it makes the story feel way more complete, overall. Though, I can admit. The Wall-A patting their baby version on the head, causing Wall-E to sink down into the trash, or Wall-E's stunned "woah" at seeing the airlock is _immensely_ charming, and that can never be replaced.

It's kind of romantic how both are about saving the other in there own way just flpped perspectives

imagine if one in a million copies of this movie had THAT unused airlock scene. They'd be sold for fortunes

WALL-E’s “woah” at 0:54 is just adorable. I’m sorry.

I honestly am glad they went with the final version. It works better because honestly by this point we already know how Wall-E cares for EvE him doing yet another good thing for her would just feel repetitive and predictable. The final version shows how much EvE had grown and developed as a character now realizing how much she cares for Wall-E and finding more to care for than just her directive. It also gives more urgency for Wall-E when he is crushed and makes you really want him to be fixed when they get back to earth. While it would have been nice to see those go at Wall-As be all like, “aww it’s a little us I want to adopt him,” the final ending overall is better for the story.

5:47 final version: EVE is a jedi deleted version: EVE is a sith lord.

Fun Fact: the deleted version was used as a level in the videogame adaptation

Seeing WALL-E doomed to die and eve realizing her love but desperate to save him hits way harder than basic "hero saves girl" trope. But also gives more character to WALL-E when he basically says "Forget about me, save them."

It's interesting how the deleted scene highlighted Wall-E's strength, agility, and his laser more so than the finished movie did. And had this scene been completed, Wall-E likely could have shown much more strength and resilience than he did when he was injured towards the end of the finished movie.

A cool detail is that, a lot of those animated movies between 2000 and 2010 had ur trailers different from the final versions, but when they did got an game adaptation, they did follow what the trailer did show, for example Wall E itself, another example is Flushed Away, as I remember, in the trailer the main character had two butlers, but in the final version they don't exist, but in the game they are there.

5:04 Eve wanted to hold his hand but Wall•E moved it away that kinda broke me from the inside...

both version have a really established emotional side but what it splits both scenes is the weight of the situation, in the removed scene the conflict on the scene is basically overcome in the same and also is less enfatic in the drama placing some humor in the suspense scene making it look less impacting. in the original also switching places and removed the humor in the suspense moment making eve fixing wall.e and failing, not only makes the suspense deeper, it keeps the severity of the scene and a constant suspense for the spectators in the fact that wall.e it is still in danger and also a redemption for eve after watching his memory video. and (in m opinion) some facts in the deleted didnt fit well, wall,e having acknowledge of how to fix eve, being a robot model hundreds of years advanced over him, and wall.e standing against the suction of the hatch open

I can definitely see what they were going for in the original, but the final version is so much better for a variety of reasons. 1. From a logical standpoint, it simply makes more sense that given how old Wall-E is that he'd be the broken one while EVE is fine, as opposed to the other way around. 2. The way they handled Wall-E's injury, seeing him hobble around on his barely working wheels and clearly having a difficult time making even the smallest movements, creates a much bigger emotional impact, as opposed to the original version where EVE just sorta laid there until Wall-E fixed her and then it was like nothing had happened at all. Especially since Wall-E remains injured for the remainder of the film, and when he does get fixed, he has amnesia. 3. It creates a parallel in the dynamic up to that point, an important one too. Up to that point, all Wall-E cared about was getting with EVE, while EVE didn't really care about him and just wanted to do her job. But here, it's the opposite. Wall-E is begging EVE to take the plant and fulfill her directive, seeing it as being more important than himself (which is further amplified by him putting himself at risk to keep the platform up later on). EVE, on the other hand, has finally learned to exist beyond her programming, and goes directly against it in order to try and help Wall-E. And I think this parallel is important as it highlights how much the two have changed. With the original scene, the characters do the same thing they've been doing all throughout, which makes later scenes feel not as earned. It's harder to believe. You've gotta commend Pixar for what they did here. THe original scene was perfectly fine. Nobody would have complained if that was the one in the final cut. But they didn't let it just be "good enough", they changed it to create what is, in my opinion, one of the best scenes in the entire movie. Give the corporate side of Disney all the shit, they deserve it, but you can tell the movies themselves are made by artists. Also, I like how they carried over Wall-E and M-O's little handshake, that was great.

I absolutely love the WALL-As interacting with WALL-E in the cut scene.

In my opinion, maybe they could have mixed these scenes to together. Have EVE save Wall-E but by convincing the giant Wall-As that he's one of them and to let him out. And then, have EVE dig Wall-E out of the trash cube and they have their moment.

The final scene they used is certainly the better pick thematically, but seeing the other one is also really neat to see; it's like a peak at an alternate reality.

WALL-E is one of those movies that honestly gets better as you get older because then you can truly appreciate the things you missed when you watched it earlier, especially the themes, ambition, authenticity, character bonding, and visual storytelling. Not only do I think it’s one of the greatest animated movies (my personal favorite animated movie), but also one of the greatest movies period!

As cute as the prototype’s direction was going, the final’s has incredible story cohesion. The absolute brilliance of WALL-E signaling to EVE that the directive bringing them back to earth is how WALL-E could be repaired is something I’m still geeking out about 14 years later

I love how the when wall-E showed the bigger Wall-Es his trash cube they where like: "Aww that's adorable." and proceeded to pat him on the head.

That was very interesting. As many already pointed out, the final version works better, but that one interaction of Wall-E with the Wall-As should've stayed

Imagine an alternate universe where this scene was kept unaltered in the already-finished film.

Both scenes are pretty good, the regular scene for the movie, and the deleted scene, it seems pretty good, but at least in the PS2 they added the deleted scene in the game, but with differences. And in the movie they stick with the regular scene, and not the deleted one.

I think they could’ve kept them interacting with the WALL•As directly somehow....., that’s like the only thing I feel was missing

I love how in the alternative, the Wall-A's see Wall-E as a cute and smaller version of them.

The final version makes more sense. The deleted version seems to convey that this is how Eve accepts Wall-E (or falls for him). IMO

Wasnt the Deleted Scene used in the walle game made in 2008? i really do think about that

I like elements of the deleted scene, but having Wall-E be the one who is more focused on the directive and being the one damaged is a MASSIVE narrative improvement. I do wish the Wall-A’s got that little bit of character development in the final though. But all in all it goes to show how much of a masterpiece this movie is.

Funny. In the official WALL•E Video game. Eve was still the one who got tazed.

I love how they give him a head pat and is like "good job little one"

One of my favourite parts about the final version is how Eve is trying to help Wall E, and you can tell she cares about him (instead of more one sided affection on his part). And the fact that the stakes are higher to get to earth quickly to fix him.

I just realized now that Eve drops an F-bomb at 4:42

The final version captures the whole feeling of the movie better if you ask me. Having EVE, a robot who only cared about her one and only purpose, showing concern and trying to help Wall-E *instead* of Wall-E, whose already been known to have feelings for EVE from the start is a better choice. Beautiful movie.

You can really tell the difference.

I love how they treat him with a pat on a head like parent for doing good job

I still believe the final version is way better but I love the interaction between WALL-E and the bigger WALL-Es. It really humanizes my favorite characters.

While both versions are interesting showing their different problem solving, I’m glad they went with Eve saving Wall-E It makes sense as Wall-E has been helping Eve prior, he protected her from a sand storm, he is the reason she got back to the Axiom at all and got her the plant, now it’s her turn to save him, needing to fix him and keep him alive, and it’s character development, previously Eve was more direct and stubborn and more focused on her own directive of saving earth, but now she’s willing to throw it aside just to save him, but Wall-E too is now determined to make sure her mission is complete, it’s quite great as Eve now is more caring and compassionate for others while Wall-E understands the importance of her task

It’s a little poetic, seeing how the deleted scene was instead put to the video game’s story plot

The game went with the alternate version where Wall-E fixed Eve. But ended up also injured being smashed by Auto. lmao

honestly i just want the cutted part because of the big robot patting wall-e was so cute... but the final version is so much better and sentimental

2:33 wall e says wtf

A rare case of when the final result is better. We saw the whole movie how Wall-E cared and did everything for Eve, now we saw Eve demonstrating that she cares for Wall-E and learnee that she does not need to do things only with her eyes set on her directive, just like Wall-E. Also, having Wall-E, the main character, so badly injured causes more emotion on the people watching... So we have both robots showing afection, Eve learning about emotions and having fun other than completing her directive and Wall-E learning about the importance of her objective (once he needs to return to Earth to be repaired), a balance between them. Such a nice movie, one of my favourites!

i love how the wall a robots patted down wall e bc of how smol and cute the smol box that wall e made

Wall-e's scream when he falls down the Shute is kind of adorable to me for some reason

3:27 Wall-A 1 and 2: huh? Doors: BANG M-O: w-o-a-h *shaking*

Personally, I like the deleted scene I feel like they could have combined them somehow, eve and wall-e are broken, but wall-e fixes eve and eve tries to help wall-e

I could've sworn I saw the deleted scene first... huh, weird

Wall-E's desperate cries for Eve when looking for her in the deleted scene, just damn-

The deleted version is better because of WALL-E Wall-e is shown to be a nice and caring robot that introduces himself to make new friends, this shows his real personality due to his loneliness on earth, Wall-e interaction with the wall-a’s were nice as-well, but the deleted version make so much more since because why would Pixar have to almost kill the main characters in movies, wall-e is also every kind to others and very caring about eve when she shuts down with the plant, wall-e is shown mid intelligence in personality, but high iq in technology due to his replacing his parts, and him fixing eve adds to that statement, the deleted scene shows that about wall-e and shows him more about himself. This scene also shows that eve cares about wall-e for calling his help.

3:52 Its funny how wall-e picks up M-O and uses him to clean Eve 🤣

Its so cute that giant wall•e petting normal wall•e

I like the final version more than the deleted scene but I like how the big Wall-A’s acknowledged Wall-E and patted his head, it was so wholesome :)

The final version where wall-E finally gets his hand shake is adorable

They used the original plot for the game

0:02 Never heard this voice clip

I forgot how incredibly sweet this movie was… I have to watch it again soon

In conclusion/summary: the final version is better because has Eva showing appreciation for WALL•E for like technically first time, but have seen WALL•As doing pat to WALL•E would have also been adorable, so that's is the only missing part in the final version

I don't know what it is about Wall-E, But it's just so charming and it teaches a valuable lesson about Pollution on earth. By far my FAVORITE Pixar movie

It's quite surprising to see how close to final production they got with this scene before they decided to change a major part of the story.

Honestly I do prefer the Eve version but. I will forever morn the loss of the scene of Wall-E interacting with the Wall-A. So cute.

Btw, This scene of Eva repaired was uses from the game

Fun fact: this deleted scene is actually the storyline for the pc/ps2 game

I like the final more because it tricks the audience to think Wall-Es plot armor had expired

The main thing of the deleted scene is that the main roles have swapped.

I know this is supposed to be a sad-ish scene, but I can't ignore how Moe is surrounded by actual garbage and trash yet only focuses on Wall-E

I like how the deleted scene is used for the game version since we don’t play as Eve

I liked the final version better. It was more impactful, brought higher stakes to the film, and important to show Eve’s character development.

Oh remember knowing that the reason why Pixar and Disney when with the final version was because of WALL•E and EVE. WALL•E is a nice robot but fragile, while EVE is determined to finish her mission and not fragile. Seeing WALL•E rescuing EVE in the deleted scene was nice because it showed how much he cared for EVE. But in the final version, EVE was the one rescuing WALL•E and realized that there was more than just completing a mission and going beyond her coding. It was very nice that they kept the final version. And the reason why WALL•E being injured was so dramatic, scary and sad 😞 s because WALL•E just wanted to have love and we know that he could break easily. So after when he’s repaired and revived, we feel so happy because he gave us a message that we will never forget: Live your own life. Don’t just go on living with only one objective and start by making goals and enjoying life.

I think both versions are actually really good, I could go for either-or.

Not sure if anybody’s mentioned this yet, but in the Wall-E videogame, the early version of the movie (Eve being hurt, Wall-E repairs her) plays out. And it plays that way because the movie itself got delayed and pushed back so they could go back and rewrite this whole scene, but the videogame and other merchandise had a solid release window and couldn’t be delayed. So you had this weird situation where you could play the videogame and buy merchandise for a movie that was not even out yet!

Man how come the deleted scene was in my opinion way damn better?

And I kept thinking why in the psp version of the game Wall-e we are in this dump, it is Eva who is rescued from a heap of garbage. Now everything is crystal clear

The WALL-As just pat him on the head like WALL-E is the little brother of the group. Literally, “when you try to impress your elder family by doing their thing but smaller”

I think if they switched the scenes the movie wouldn't be as heart felt or have a feeling of needing to return to earth. It would have made people wonder why go back to earth. The final product was the absolute best because it makes you want them to return and makes you want eva to save wally at all costs making the climax even more spectacular when he almost died this is what made wall-e wall-e

Who likes the final version better than the original?

The final scene is better but I wished they had kept the part of Wall-E showing the Wall-A's the little cube in an attempt to get them to eject the cube with Eve stuck in the cube. Them doing the aww how cute thing and patting his head was funny and adorable. Wished they kept that. :P

It may have been cut from the movie, but fixing Eve segment was added to the video game.

The Wall-As awwing and patting Wall-E on the head was something I never knew I needed to see, it’s just so adorable and I really wish they kept that bit in the final. But overall, as well as others have put it, the final was great.

I like how deleted version detailed, but it also looks like "magic" for the movie and feels like its start. The Final is almost perfect, I'm not sure why they cut big Wall•Es scene.

0:14 I heard "Hah, boiiiiii". Something is wrong with me...

The final version had a lot more story impact, but I do still love the original idea

0:47 I like how is like a time travel between the two scenes

It's so cute and sweet seeing how both of them would put themselves on danger for the other, and then tending and taking care when damaged

Fun fact for anyone who played the PS2 version of WALL·E they actually use the delated scene part for this stage. For context from what I can recall(I may be wrong it’s been years sense I played that game I was 6 maybe when I played it) WALL-E ends up alright but Eva requires repairs and so WALL-E has to platform and use an umbrella while playing his music to find parts for her. Yes his music was a mechanic and at first seemed useless but once you found the other robots they actually follow him as he Plays it and are essential for solving puzzles. Also I believe M-O could kill you though it’s very unlikely as he did very little damage as was mostly there to annoy you

Honestly the final version is better, it just made more sense. Though it's kinda of a bummer we never got to see the bigger Wall-E's acknowledging Wall-E, it would've been nice

Wha-What a work of art!😢

Ok! YT random player actually worked perfectly! This is something I absolutely love! And they updated shorts two? This is looking good actually!

I find it so cute how the Wall-As just gave Wall-E a headpat after seeing his little cube 😭 They're like "aw good job buddy. You're doing great." Hsjsixisi

its good to mention that the game released based on WALL-E that was on the ps2/psp goes off of this old deleted scene, with there being a whole level based on getting parts to repair EVE

Sorry not sorry Deleted or not, the headpat was the cutest thing I've seen today.

They only changed it so they can make it be based on a better challenge of weakness.

Everyone talking about Eve, Wall-A's and all, but everyone do be overlooking the fact that they turned Mo from being a mere doorstep to the FREAKING MVP!!!
