BURN-E was produced at the same time as WALL-E and directed by the feature film's lead animator, Angus MacLane.[6] It features music composed and conducted by J. A. C. Redford, who was also an orchestrator on WALL-E.[7][8]
The BURN-E robot appears briefly in WALL-E during the scene in which WALL-E and EVE dance in space. When they re-enter the Axiom, they accidentally lock him out, and he is last seen banging his fists against the door.[9][10]
Plot
As
The Axiom's computer alerts the ship's autopilot, AUTO, that repairs are needed. AUTO activates SUPPLY-R, who in turn activates BURN-E. Given his welding torch and an intact spire, he
Irritated by this second failure, SUPPLY-R drops the third and final spare light on the floor, leaving BURN-E to pick it up. He successfully repairs the light, but before he can bring it online, he is accidentally locked out by WALL-E and EVE, who fly inside after their dance in space around the Axiom and close the door behind them.
BURN-E tries to find another way in, including through the open garbage
When the Axiom lands on Earth, BURN-E goes to find SUPPLY-R so he can hit the button to bring the spire back online, but everyone is gone. He hunts through the deserted Axiom, and finds the humans and robots are all outside when he looks through the window of an escape pod. He accidentally jettisons the pod, and crashes to Earth; flinging the pod door open so hard that it flies into the air, he runs to SUPPLY-R and finally brings the spire online, only for the door to destroy it. As BURN-E collapses in frustration, SUPPLY-R reaches out an arm and comforts him.
