BURN-E (2008)

BURN-E (stylized with an interpunct as BURN·E) is a 2008 American animated short film produced by Pixar Animation Studios. It is tied into and included with the DVD and Blu-ray of WALL-E. The titular repair robot is a minor character from the film, who spends the short trying to repair a small part of the starship Axiom, only to be continuously thwarted by concurrent events seen in intercut scenes from WALL-E. WALL-E's director Andrew Stanton co-wrote and executive produced the short. BURN-E was produced at the same time as WALL-E and directed by the feature film's lead animator, Angus MacLane. It features music composed and conducted by J. A. C. Redford, who was also an orchestrator on WALL-E. The BURN-E robot appears briefly in WALL-E during the scene in which WALL-E and EVE dance in space. When they re-enter the Axiom, they accidentally lock him out, and he is last seen banging his fists against the door.
