Mar 17: Wall-E

A great geographically related song from the end credits of WALL-E: "Down to Earth".

Wall-E's theme is about the despoilation of the earth by consumerism, led by the BnL corporation.

This is short for Buy 'n' Large.

When I saw this film when it first came out I hadn't heard of Peter Gabriel's involvement with the music. It was only as the credits rolled and the song started that I heard his distinctive voice and knew it must be by him... 

From the Archived Buy N Large website which went along with the film on its release.

However, by the year 2057, as shown on the Buy n Large website, the conglomerate became a worldwide leader in the fields of aerospace, agriculture, construction, consumer goods, corporate grooming, earth transport, electronics, energy, engineering, finance, food services, fusion research, government, hydro-power, infrastructures, inventions, media, medical science, mortgage loans, pet care, pharmaceuticals, psychotherapies, ports and harbors, real estate, repairs, retail, robotics, science/health, space, storage, super centers, super grids, travel services, utilities, and watermills. The corporation's control affected other companies as well. It seemed as though other businesses wanted BnL to buy them out, such as Headr Inc. which gave BnL control of the world news headlines.

And finally another beautiful track from WALL-E with Peter Gabriel's touch on it, along with Thomas Newman: 'Define Dancing'.

One of Pixar's best from the era when they made must-see films... my son has a Criterion 4K edition with beautiful packaging and fantastic picture quality....

What other songs from Pixar films do you really like?
