Problem Name
The famous Olympic skier Picabo Street (pronounced Peek-A-Boo) is not just an athlete. She is now a nurse currently working at the Intensive Care Unit of a large metropolitan hospital. She is not permitted to answer the hospital telephones. It caused too much confusion when she would answer the phone and say,

WALL-E
The year is 2700, and planet Earth has long been uninhabitable. For hundreds of years, WALL-E (Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class) has been taking out the trash, and collecting precious knick-knacks in order to stave off the boredom of his dreary routine. Little does WALL-E realize that he has recently stumbled onto a secret that could save planet Earth (a plant), and once again make the ravaged planet safe for all humankind.
When highly advanced search robot EVE makes friends with WALL-E and realizes the value of his remarkable discovery, she excitedly races back to let the humans know that there’s hope for their home planet after all. But after centuries alone, WALL-E can’t stand the thought of losing the only friend he’s ever known, and eagerly follows her into the deepest reaches of space on the adventure of a lifetime. Along the way, the friendly trash-collecting robot who has always known what he was made for gradually begins to understand what he was meant for.
The movie has a deeper underlying message: a view into the future of all humans if we remain on the same gluttonous path in which we are currently traveling. Humans are depicted as severely obese entities that cannot do anything for themselves. From the moment their eyes open in the morning, their days center around movement in their space chairs, chatting with holographs.
The movie was slow and really lacked the comedic appeal found in most Pixar animations. Sadly, the best scenes are the ones found in the movie’s trailers.

June
A bird in the boughs sang “June,”
And “June” hummed a bee
In a bacchic glee
As he tumbled over and over
Drunk with the honey-dew.
–Clinton Scollard (1860–1932)
