the Mind’s Chew Toy

Plot: 700 years after humans have left the Earth due to high levels of toxicity, a cleaner robot named WALL-E (Waste Allocation Load Lifters - Earth Class) has become a bit more self-aware than it’s programmers originally anticipated. When a probe named EVE comes to check on Earth, WALL-E falls immediately in love. When she leaves, he stows away on her ship…and finally discovers what he was meant to do.

Plot: Charlie Hinton (Murphy) has a good paying job, a loving wife, and a kid (Griffin). But, when he’s laid off and can’t find other work, Charlie and his friend Phil (Garland) come up with the idea of opening a home day care to help pay the bills until they can find “real” jobs. They find out, however, a day care is a little tougher than they figured. But, with the help of their friend Marvin (Zahn), they try to make it work, even competing against a militant day care run by the under-handed Miss Harridan (Huston).
