2. WALL-E

Pixar's animated gem gets primo BD treatment. WALL-E is a tiny, beeping, binocular-eyed robot who scoots around compacting trash because the Earth, 700 years hence, is a garbage dump. He falls for EVE, a spiffy robot who looks like an iPod, and out of that romance director Andrew Stanton hits new levels of creativity that come through thrillingly on three discs.

HOT BONUS: The best extra is on Ben Burtt, who does the beeps for WALL-E and whose sound design is a true art form.

KILLER SCENE: The virtually dialogue-free first half hour is jaw-dropping perfection, but to see WALL-E and EVE dance and later kiss is the essence of movie magic.
