The final version is better because of EVE.

In every scene previously, except for the dance in space, she was mean to WALL•E and only cared for her main mission to get the plant to the Axiom

WALL•E was kinda a creep to her on Earth but that was because he was alone all his life and didn't have interaction with anyone. When EVE looked through her memory on the Axiom she realised WALL•E is the kind lost soul looking for a connection with someone but had a hard time showing it due to being socially awkward.

We already knew WALL•E would do anything for EVE. Even take damage to the point of robot-death at that point but we didn't know about if EVE could do it.

EVE really needed a scene to show she cares for WALL•E and not only the mission. This scene does that.

In a romance film. Both romantic leads have to not be in a toxic relationship and not feel one-sided with cemistry from both the leads. Up to that point it kinda just felt like WALL•E just simping and EVE being dangerous & not really caring about him so their relationship could've become toxic but this scene shown that EVE can have a softer & more gentler side. She can care and not be dangerous to her love. While WALL•E goes from being a silly simp to taking things more seriously and got going with EVE's mission to save humanity.

Only thing missing from the final film now is WALL•E interacting with the WALL•As. That was adorable how one of the WALL•As patted on WALL•E's head.

I love how the big guys just watch WALL-E compact a tiny cube of trash and just give him a parents’ pat.
“Well aren’t you just a cute one!”

So, the original version had Eve get injured but fixed, but the final version had Walle injured and not fixed until they returned to Earth? I'm glad they went with the final version.

As sweet as the original version is, I'm really glad Pixar decided to go with the final version of this scene instead. Not that I liked seeing WALL-E get electrocuted, but Iove how that scene added a level of depth to EVE's character that hadn't been shown in the rest of the movie.

Up to this point, all EVE has cared about is fulfilling her directive, but now she's learned to find a life beyond her programming by falling in love with WALL-E. Her gesture of discarding the plant seems to say "My directive is you."

The final version is nice, but its cute to see the bigger Wall-E's acknowledge Wall-E

Edit: I am aware they're called WALL-A's-

[sitsia]

1:55 that lil eye expression they make

[Shadow_Symphony]

I personally like the final version better, but it is really really nice to see an alternate reality to what could've happened, since im so used to the original

[Idras]

We didn't really need Wall-E showing his devotion for the 5th time, it was a smart decision to have Eve show that she reciprocated.

[peachblossom]

The final version is my favorite. It also gives us another reason why our characters have to return to Earth. Wall-e can only be repaired in Earth, not in the Axiom. Its not just a chance to live anymore, its also a chance to save someone

[EsmeraldaTGG]

I love the final version of this scene because it not only makes everything more tense; from the Wall-A's introduction, to the airlock, to the general stakes leading up to the finale. (I mean, Wall-E's _dying, _ so I'd say the stakes are pretty high!)
But it also give EVE a chance to shine, finally breaking from her Directive entirely to focus her care on Wall-E. It's really sweet and it makes the story feel way more complete, overall.

Though, I can admit. The Wall-A patting their baby version on the head, causing Wall-E to sink down into the trash, or Wall-E's stunned "woah" at seeing the airlock is _immensely_ charming, and that can never be replaced.

[jaydapugpug]

It's kind of romantic how both are about saving the other in there own way just flpped perspectives

[danielvakser]

imagine if one in a million copies of this movie had THAT unused airlock scene. They'd be sold for fortunes

5:47
final version: EVE is a jedi
deleted version: EVE is a sith lord.

[ricvaladez]

I honestly am glad they went with the final version. It works better because honestly by this point we already know how Wall-E cares for EvE him doing yet another good thing for her would just feel repetitive and predictable. The final version shows how much EvE had grown and developed as a character now realizing how much she cares for Wall-E and finding more to care for than just her directive. It also gives more urgency for Wall-E when he is crushed and makes you really want him to be fixed when they get back to earth. While it would have been nice to see those go at Wall-As be all like, “aww it’s a little us I want to adopt him, ” the final ending overall is better for the story.

Fun Fact: the deleted version was used as a level in the videogame adaptation

[thezershow]

WALL-E’s “woah” at 0:54 is just adorable. I’m sorry.

[RedScreen]

Seeing WALL-E doomed to die and eve realizing her love but desperate to save him hits way harder than basic "hero saves girl" trope.

But also gives more character to WALL-E when he basically says "Forget about me, save them."

[vibes]

It's interesting how the deleted scene highlighted Wall-E's strength, agility, and his laser more so than the finished movie did. And had this scene been completed, Wall-E likely could have shown much more strength and resilience than he did when he was injured towards the end of the finished movie.

[kliveran]

both version have a really established emotional side but what it splits both scenes is the weight of the situation, in the removed scene the conflict on the scene is basically overcome in the same and also is less enfatic in the drama placing some humor in the suspense scene making it look less impacting.

in the original also switching places and removed the humor in the suspense moment making eve fixing wall.e and failing, not only makes the suspense deeper, it keeps the severity of the scene and a constant suspense for the spectators in the fact that wall.e it is still in danger
and also a redemption for eve after watching his memory video.

and (in m opinion) some facts in the deleted didnt fit well, wall, e having acknowledge of how to fix eve, being a robot model hundreds of years advanced over him, and wall.e standing against the suction of the hatch open

[GuiLoreiro]

A cool detail is that, a lot of those animated movies between 2000 and 2010 had ur trailers different from the final versions, but when they did got an game adaptation, they did follow what the trailer did show, for example Wall E itself, another example is Flushed Away, as I remember, in the trailer the main character had two butlers, but in the final version they don't exist, but in the game they are there.
