Put on your Sunday clothes, because today we’re talking about 10 of the best background characters in WALL-E.

WALL-E was released an entire 13 years ago, yet it remains one of Pixar’s most beloved films for its lovable protagonist, stunning animation, impressive sound design, and heartwarming story.

WALL-E spends the first act of the movie almost entirely alone, with only a cockroach for a friend. Upon EVE’s arrival, however, WALL-E is whisked away to space, where he becomes acquainted with an array of interesting characters.

As Medium’s resident Pixar expert, I feel it is my duty to be your captain on this daunting journey into space. Lock in on your directives, prepare your fire extinguishers, and brace yourselves for take-off. Let’s get to it.
