This essay is an exploration on Captain B McRae and how his personality progressed in the science fiction film Wall-e. The views on the captain range from how he first came across as a babyish character who was very lazy and a rotund look like all the other people on the Axium.

To show this scene the directors used a long shot on a low angle which then progressed into a birds eye view.
