Antiwork

Is the movie Wall-E an example of an Antiwork utopia?

Humans do not need to work. All of the labor is handled by robots and AI. People can live comfortable lives indulging in luxury and leisure whenever they want. All of this is paid for by the profits generated by corporations and human workers are not being exploited. It's the ideal society based on the values of Antiwork. Of course there's the whole plot line about the corporation lying about the earth not being destroyed and still salvageable, but honestly why would they even go back? Going back to Earth means essentially people will be forced to work again. Which would be terrible. What do you guys think?
