The Disney animatronics booth at Maker Faire had an (almost) fully functioning WALL•E. I believe it was an early prototype of a toy that might be released sometime in the future. Needless to say, it was VERY impressive.

Now how would I go about coaxing our friends at Dreamworks to make a robot movie.....
