BURN-E (stylized with an interpunct as BURN·E) is a 2008 American animated short film produced by Pixar Animation Studios. It is tied into and included with the DVD and Blu-ray of WALL-E.[1][2][3] The titular repair robot is a minor character from the movie, and this short is intercut with scenes from WALL-E, which takes place concurrently.[4][5] WALL-E's director Andrew Stanton co-wrote and executive produced the short.

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]
