Released in 20008, WALL-E is a fun animated adventure with awesome computer-generated graphics. It teaches us important lessons about commercialism and how global waste can harm our planet.
Though WALL-E is a family film, a fan theory says there’s a deeper (and unnoticed) meaning behind this Disney’s film. They think Wall-E might symbolize Satan. This discovery came after 16 years of the movie release which has sparked discussions among fans about what the film really means.
A Fan Made Surprising Interpretation, Claiming WALL-E Represents Satan
WALL-E is super cute and loveable, definitely one of Pixar’s best characters. He’s like a kid, always curious and exploring. The movie shows him as innocent, sweet, and kind of naive.
But it’s hard to imagine him as Satan, right? Fans who’ve always adored him might find that idea surprising. Yet, one fan sees him differently!
In an X post, a user (@frye) drew parallels between the characters and themes in Andrew Stanton‘s WALL-E and the story of Genesis from the Bible. They wrote:
“People don’t realise this but Wall-E is a straightforward re telling of genesis. The autopilot is god. The captain is Adam. Eve is Eve and Wall-E is a satan.”
The fan thinks WALL-E is like the Genesis story in the Bible. They see the autopilot as God, the captain as Adam, Eve as Eve, and Wall-E as Satan.
This means the film explores themes of creation, temptation, and the consequences of disobedience, much like the biblical narrative of Genesis. But it isn’t the first time, somebody has come up with this idea. This wild theory has been already surfacing since 2017.
WALL-E is Satan: A Long-Standing Theory
Back in 2017, a user named Vexellius proposed a wild theory, “An alternative view of Wall-E: He’s not a savior, he’s the Serpent.” They believed that the whole space opera was a retelling of the biblical story of humanity’s downfall in the Garden of Eden.

In Pixar’s Wall-E, people often see him as a messiah figure who sacrifices himself to save mankind—just like Jesus. But there’s another way to look at Wall-E: as a character similar to Satan from Genesis (as per the theory).
In the movie, humans live in a comfortable world served by robots—without problems like war, illness, or hunger. They’ve forgotten about Earth, which is now barren in 2805.
Then Wall-E gives Eve (a robot sent from the starship Axiom, with whom WALL-E falls in love and pursues across the galaxy) a plant, which makes Captain B. McCrea want to return to Earth.
This parallels the story of Eve being tempted with fruit in Genesis. When humans return to Earth, they have to work for food, just like in the Bible.
WALL-E is available to watch on Disney+.
