Pixar has finally released the full-length trailer for its highly anticipated upcoming animated film, WALL•E. Suffice to say it doesn’t disappoint. It’s cute, funny and damn right gorgeous to look at.

If you haven’t heard of WALL•E before, it’s the story of a robot, the only robot, left on Earth who’s sole task is to clean up the mess left by humans - now living on spaceship and presumably other planets. One day, another robot returns to Earth to check on how things are going. Soon, they become friends and WALL•E hitches a ride to space.
