Waaaaallllieeeeeeee
Maybe he was lining up WALL•E to give the awards presentations at the Championship?
I loved the commercial. Everytime I see him with the bug I think of a hexbug! :yikes:
i saw the teaser for WALL.E before national treasure 2. i thought the robot was absolutely adorable, especially when that huge ship thing landed on him.
It looks to be awesome. The super bowl commercial was somewhat good, not as big great as the one posted above.
i’m downloading the trailer on my PS3 (HD 1080) its about 182MB
Ahhh… it IS a chick-flick afterall! WALL-E gets a girlfiend!
Finally a trailer that describes a little bit of the storyline woo. Looks like a decent movie.
Rats. Another one for the MPAA. Why does everything have to be so political?

…from this past weekend.
MORT plans on taking a few of the robots to the premiere of WALL-E. We’ve done this for other movies but sadly missed out on Iron Man and Transformers.
Hope to get lots of young kids there to see the robots. 
I saw the pre-release screening of WALL•E last night, and it turned out to be just as much fun as I suspected it would. First off, it is a good story, without being sickeningly sweet. The story is engrossing enough that you are completely pulled into it. You are twenty minutes into the film before you realize that there has not been a single line of dialog - and yet the story and cinematography are good enough to carry that off without a problem… And WALL•E is terminally cute (yes, I am already trying to figure out how to make one out of VEX parts…). As expected, the quality of the animation is stunning, although I will admit to being much more impressed by the scenes on Earth than on the spacecraft. The animators in the audience are going to just love it. Without giving away any of the story line, there are some fun things to look out for. You will catch a few subtle reminders that Pixar is still partially owned by Steve Jobs (just listen to WALL•E’s reboot sound, etc.). I am still looking for the “Binford” tag that is hidden in there somewhere.
The special short up front, “Presto” by Doug Sweetland, is as good as we have come to expect from Pixar (probably my favorite since “For The Birds” led off “Monsters Inc.”).
There is also a nice connection between this film and the FIRST community. Those of us that have been around long enough may remember Laura London (first at Autodesk, and later with FIRST). Her nephew, Brian London, is an assistant art director on the film.

Looks like some people in TX already had a similar idea. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpokgwMJIKE
P.s. I am stoked for this movie…
I’m planning on trying to go to a mid day showing Friday, when my sons are busy with the last day of the vex camp they’re putting on. So then I can go back that night with them, and watch it again.
Okay, spill the beans – are y’all consulting on John Carter of Mars?
Yeah, what is this “pre-release” stuff?
Inquiring minds want to know.

Wall-E is 15 years old, & has already showed up in 3 Pixar movies at least!!!
(Toy Story, The Incredibles & Cars!!)
Wow. :eek:
No offense intended to the builders of that little model, but it isn’t even close. You may have to wait until you see the movie to appreciate it, but when you see the level of complexity that the designers put into the WALL•E model you will understand that building a physical representation of this creation is NOT going to be easy. I need to go back and look at the motions more closely, but I believe that I counted at least 42 discrete controlled degrees of freedom in the design, not including the passive motions (and if that number proves to be correct, I am tempted to think that it probably is not an accident; perhaps a nod to Douglas Adams?).
