Directive A113 - Wall*E (HD) (SPOILERS)

One of my favorite scenes from Pixar's latest movie, Wall-E.
Not only did I love this scene for the twist in the plot and the amazing CGI, but I mostly loved it for AutoPilot's personality striking a very close resemblance of HAL 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Wall-E is obviously not owned by me. All rights go to Disney and Pixar.

AUTO is probably one of the most interesting Pixar villains. Unlike most villains, his actions are in a misguided attempt to preserve humanity. He refuses to believe the information he was given was false, and acts to prevent humanity from going back to what he believes to be a dangerous environment.

[@LongClawzHidden]

The fact that AUTO disclosed the classified information, which he wasn't supposed to do in the first place, goes to show that AUTO truly isn't evil. He wanted the captain to understand WHY he was following those orders. He wasn't trying to be antagonistic or mean, he tried to show his reasoning.

"I don't wanna survive I wanna live"best line ever

The different realizations that the captain goes through from realizing that in order for the plant to grow someone has to look out for it, to realizing that in almost 700 years humanity had done absolutely nothing to realizing that he has to take an active stance is just an amazing show of growth that would span months yet taking nothing more than 3 minutes. It's quite a scene.

The interesting thing about AUTO is that he's a villain that isn't actually evil, all he does is following his programming.

Wall-E did a much more meaningful message about the environment than any PSA specials.

The original version of this scene is far darker. The president was a William Shatner impersonator who keeps giving more and more desperate transmissions until he’s screaming begging for help and “Do not return to earth! I want to live!” Before the transmission cuts out.

Whenever I see AUTO, all I think of is GLaDOS and HAL 9000 having a baby.

I really like how the captain may look fat and dopey, he's still a captain, and knows his responsibility is to the well-being of his crew and his passengers.

[@MrMewsKitty]

I love the captain, out of all the people on the ship, he's the one who actually wanted to do something instead of nothing.

"Out there is our home. HOME... Auto, and it's in trouble."

[@def-c_616]

This guy is a pretty damn underrated Pixar character

[@scj6693]

"We cannot go home."

[@VoiceLord1]

The way Auto says “CapTAIN” at

[@davidstaindrop6199]

"Tell me Auto, that's an order!" and Auto remains frozen for a few moments

[@aalborgfantasy]

The scary part is, maybe in the past AUTO has destroyed or hid evidances of plant life which has came from earth. Maybe he was doing it from the beginning and earth was sustainable from a very a long time...

[@dice1331]

"I don't want to survive. I want to live!" That was the goal of mankind since the beginning of time. We strived to survive, adapt until we did and now we're living the most peaceful times in our history. All we want is to live.

CEO/President: Commander Auto, the time has come..... execute order A113.

Notice how Auto is getting closer in each Axiom captain's portrait?
