Abstract
This article explores pretrauma cinema as a genre and discusses the concept using WALL-E as an example. The essay defines Kaplan’s theory of pretrauma cinema, outlines the potential failings, and explains how WALL-E showcases the anxieties society has about the planet’s future, through mass consumerism, global warming, and mass waste.
