BURN-E is an enjoyable short that engages in a BTTF 2-style re-exploration of its source, Pixar's excellent WALL-E. There's probably a more highbrow analogy than Zemeckis' underrated 1989 sequel, but I can't think of one. The story follows a robot whose maintenance work is continually interrupted by WALL-E and EVE's escapades. It's high-concept stuff, and it works well, with a handful of hilarious jokes. There's not much of an emotional hook, compared with the feature, but it's lot of fun.

Oh my god this was hysterical. Showing the incredibly bad day of Burn-E, that robot that got locked out in Wall-E. All he wanted to do was fix that damn light, it's all Wall-E's fault. -
A fun little behind the scenes look at the main plotline of Wall-E as a repair robot battles to replace a broken part.
Nicely animated and you get to see Wall-E and EVE flying through space together again which is one of the most joyful scenes in recent cinema.

Poor little Burn-e. A funny little back story to Wall-e.
