Earth becomes a giant garbage pool which in the end can no longer be lived in and enjoyed. Wall-E’s adventure stories and love stories with other robots may be just a sweetener. But the gruesome picture of a world covered in trash is definitely an implicit message that conveys very well to its viewers.
