In WALL-E, co-writer and director Andrew Stanton offers a vision of human beings so cosseted by technology as to have lost their humanity. Must we struggle for survival to be human? Must we die to give life meaning? Or are these notions of what makes us human bad poetry, based on longstanding prejudices due for an update?
