Another thing to catch:
Wall-e was “voiced” by the famous Ben Burtt (The guy who did R2-D2). Didn’t he sound familiar? 
Anyone catch a “Wilhelm Scream” in Wall-e? Burtt is famous for hiding these in most of the movies he does sound effects for.
I dind’t recognize the name, but did notice the second time I watched it that he also did the voice of the little cleaning bot named M-O (Moe) with the brush that was obsessed with cleaning the “foreign contaminants”.
My favorite scene was when Wall E was trying to keep the rain off of Eve, with an umbrella, and he kept getting hit by lightning
Haha that part is so good! The umbrella gets struck by lightning, it’s reduced to just the wire frame and he closes the umbrella anyway. xDDD
Agreed! I took my grandson to see it last night. (I’m not sure which of us was more anxiously awaiting this movie). We both loved the movie and Pixar’s “Presto” short film was almost worth the price of admission by itself.
[Caution: ity-bity spoiler ahead]
Now that I’ve had a chance to digest it, one of the things that really strikes me is how Andrew Stanton was able to convey so much with “silent” dialog. Virtually all of the communication between the characters (and with the audience) is non-verbal. For now my favorite part is where WALL*E and EVE are getting to know each other and begin their relationship during her increasingly-frustrated search on Earth.
I’m looking forward to finding an excuse to see it again soon.
There is no better excuse than simply going because you want to.
Pixar movie transcend their genre and rating and no adult should ever feel they have to apologize for going to see it without kids. Their movies are that good.
Besides, all the FIRSTers that I know - are children at heart. 
Disney and Pixar are really good at making movies that appeal to both adults and children.
I could have actually stopped right after “movies”. 
What I really like about this movie is how strong the messages are. One hits you like a brick, but I didn’t notice another one until I was closer to the end of my second time seeing it.
That movie…I am at a lost of words for how great it was. Pixar well never disappoint me, I want to see it as many times as my pocket would let me.
I have heard that, to get a good feel for making great movies, watch/make them without using dialog first. You would then get used to using the best camera angles and music for each scene…and I have to agree, Wall*E is a perfect example of no dialog movie(Oh yeah, there is some dialog).
Got back about a while ago from seeing WALL•E for the first time.
It will take a while to think about and I would like to see it a 2nd time soon.
I like the human beings. It was a big surprise to see that WALL•E could make eyebrows. Those were awesome.
Very true. It’s hard for my family to find good movies- my younger sister is 10 grades younger than me- but my whole family enjoyed it, from my grandparents to my 4-year-old cousin.
Just got back from seeing it with my little cousins (no younger siblings for me) and it was ok. Good message and great animation. The characters are well presented but overall I’d say 7/10.
I went to Down Town Disney to see Wall-E for the second time.
I ran into this:

It’s a Wall A!
Is he within your weight limits?
That is so cool though, go out and display your robots there right next to him hehe
For those of you looking for realistic Wall-E toys, a “mere” $189 (edit - $249.99 now - ah capitalism) buys you this little guy later this year.
He’s so cute, ignoring his owner’s commands is almost like a “feature”.
It would be great if he can compact your garbage for you into neat little cubes and then take it out to the curb for you.
Why buy, when we can build I see enough leftover parts in our shop to build the basic chassis…Now all I need are some binoculars and tank tracks!

I wonder how many times Wall-E will be featured in teasers for the upcoming season.
Team 1675 had an opportunity to demo at a local theater on Friday night and Saturday night of opening weekend. We had the FRC robot on display only, but had a couple of smaller Vex bot, including a Wall-E lookalike, for kids to drive. We had an excellent turnout both days and had several people interested in joining local Vex leagues and wondering where they can get Vex kits for Christmas =)
I’ve seen Wall-E twice now and I cried both times (what can I say, I’m a sucker for robot love), but as an animator, this move is beyond amazing. I’ve read about how they tried to mimic old sci-fi films and certain camera techniques - they actually rewrote their animating software just for this movie to achieve the perspectives and focuses…it really is a treat. I think the thing I love most about the move, though, is how overly complex everything is (a nice commentary on the flaws of the future…and present to some degree) - pay attention to how many robots are required to activate EVE. Someone forgot about KISS in the future.
