Straight away we are shown an establishing shot which shows a neglected planet as there is a lack of life and the colours are dull and brown. The viewers don't realise the shot shown is Earth, and that realisation is that of shock. For quite a while at the beginning of the Film the audience follow Walle through a range of shots from Arial shots and tracking shots. These all add up to illustrate how lonely he is and empty the city has become. Sound in this film is non diegetic old music at the start, the music played is old to the viewers of the time. It is also un empathetic to the opening scene, which suggests to us that perhaps the inhabitants of the area didn't care about how their area was treated. Despite the fact that Walle is a robot, he shows signs of human qualities and personality, this helps children in particular relate to the main character, Walle.
