Wall-E is a film about a robot. The genre of the film is Sci-Fi and the film fits this genre by the way its set about robots, this is a typical feature of something Sci-Fi. Wall-E also fits the genre of Sci-Fi by making the humans not have a major role within the film, instead the narrative is based around one little robot that is left to clean up the humans mess for the entire planet.
In the opening sequence you are only shown the little robot which is putting emphasis on how he is the main character, also that a robot is a typical element of Sci-Fi, fitting well within the genre. Another element of Sci-Fi that is present in Wall-E is the narrative and screenplay is surreal, this element is presented one way through the robot having emotions which is something beyond our technology, adding to this, the chances of such a global catastrophe is highly unrealistic.
The films genre could also be seen as a hybrid, with the element of fantasy portrayed in the film. The narrative involves characters such as Wall-E that could not exist in real life, also the scale of the catastrophe with all the rubbish being left on the Earth makes it an event that could not possibly happen. The robot also features human characteristics, when watching a video of a man and woman holding hands, this brought sadness to the robot due to the loneliness of being alone in the world, this adds to the surrealness of the whole film but also makes it relatable for the audience as they feel the robots loneliness.
