Joining WALL*E on his journey across the universe is a cast of characters including a pet cockroach and a heroic team of malfunctioning misfit robots.

Gunnin’ for that #1 Spot:

Directed by Adam Yauch (founding member of the Hip Hop trio the Beastie Boys and director of “Awesome: I Shot That”), the film follows eight of the country’s premiere high school basketball players on the fast track to the NBA, as they are adored by fans, wooed by colleges and sneaker companies, and groomed to be in the spotlight of the multi-million dollar game.
