Is WALL-E the opposite of 2001: A Space Odyssey?

Watching WALL-E I can't think about how much it is the exact opposite of 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Obviously in WALL-E a machine redeems humanity, in 2001 a machine holds it back.

In WALL-E all of humanity returns to Earth, in 2001 one man leaves Earth behind forever.

I can't think of any other parallels of the top of my head, but I'm sure there's more. I just thought it was kind of interesting.

  1. A machine saves humanity in a selfless form of self-sacrifice......sounds almost like Christ...... maybe I should have written my paper on that.
