Pixar's upcoming sci-fi movie Elio has a plot that tells the opposite of WALL-E's story. WALL-E was Pixar's first foray into science fiction, and the story of the titular robot proved to be a critical and commercial success. Despite the popularity of WALL-E, Pixar hasn't delved into science fiction very often; the only other film from the animation studio that could be considered sci-fi is 2022's Lightyear (with the possible exception of projects like Cars and The Incredibles), which gave a backstory to Toy Story's Buzz Lightyear. It's exciting that Pixar has developed another science fiction film, though its premise does share some similarities with WALL-E's.
