A New WALL·E Image For The New Year!
Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.
This is going to be one special movie.
You can whinge about Johnny 5 or E.T. all you like right now, but based on what I’ve seen, I’m prepared to go on record as predicting this will be the single biggest movie at the box-office in 2008. I think this is going to connect for people on a global scale in a way we see once in a long, long while.
If I’m wrong, I’m wrong, but I doubt it. We’ve still got half a year till the film premieres, of course, so all of this is just hypothetical at the moment. I will say that I think Disney and Pixar are doing a good job so far of selling the character instead of a high-concept premise. Ultimately, WALL·E is who we’re going to be in that theater to see. There are no movie stars here, so we have to be invested in WALL·E himself by the time we sit down and the lights go dark in the theater.
I really like this new image, part of Disney’s preview for the year:

I call ripoff. Somebody get Fisher Stevens on the horn. We need his uber yet acceptable (?) borderline black face Indian impression STAT.

This Will Be My Then 3-Year-Old Boy's 1st Theater Experience
by tylerzero
Can't wait.
-
firstly for your head wobble, and then for shagging michelle pfeiffer.
. -
I so agree. I can't wait to see this film. I swear, that trailer made me cry. Just seeing him all alone and about to not be. It's going to be special, no doubt. I adore "Ratatouille" and next, it will be Wall-E!!
-
I can't wait to check this out, Cars and Ratatouille or however you spell it never really grabbed my attention like this has. WOW!
-
The background could have done with a bit more work. The lens flare, I mean really?
-
I am sure that Wall-E will own.
-
But then, I've been sold on this film ever since I first heard the premise.
-
NO DISASSEMBLE BITCHES!!!
-
In that image Wall-E looks more like V.I.N.C.E.N.T from The Black Hole.
-
some beautiful pink panites to sniff
-
that's not a very good shot. Those colors don't mesh well at all. It almost looks like a cheap fan art collage. I'll still see this opening weekend, as I'm one of the very few that thinks Pixar hasn't had a single misfire yet (Cars included).
-
That is a really unimpressive picture. It looks like something a high school kid did at home with photoshop lens flares and a freeware modelling program. I'm sure it will be good because Pixar hasn't dropped the ball yet, but there is absolutely nothing revealed about this movie yet that intrigues me in the slightest.
-
Can't wait, such a huge fan.
-
I was fortunate enough to see this here in Portland about two months ago. Probably about 10-15% of it contained finished shots, and they were gut-wrenchingly gorgeous. The film, even in its rough form, was fucking hilarious and quite impressive.

Touching the rings of Saturn.

Seriously?? This picture isn't "good" enough for you?? Why don't you try getting laid once in awhile and maybe you'll stop dissecting lens flares in digital photos. Oh I forgot, it's harder to talk to a girl than it is typing lame talk backs. Douchebags. It's called a vagina. Learn it, live it, love it.

JUST LIKE TRANSFORMERS, THIS ROBOT WILL BE THE FAVORITE TOY OF 2
by ludmir88
PREPARE YOUR WALL·ETS!!! ULTIMATE WALL·E IS COMING NEXT CHRISTMAS!!!
-
YOU GET THE POINT.
-
Pitch meeting quote: "R2-D2, No.5, and Huey COMBINED - we can't lose!" Looks derivative, but it will probably be great.
-
Just went to see Juno last night and heard a familiar metallic gurgle as I walked into the hall leading to the theater. I looked to my right, and there was an impressive cardboard model of Wall•E, about ten feet tall (including the large cardboard crate beneath him). Very cool.
I'm most interested to see this because of its promise of having very little dialogue, hence its potential universal appeal.
I'm hoping for a home version of Wall•E, ala the remote control R2-D2, so he can bring me a beer from the kitchen. When he arrives at the couch, I want him to oooh like he does in the trailer, then sigh because he's a robot and can't drink. -
little kiddies, sci-fi nerds, parents, critics, etc.

Like it. This is going to be their comeback movie.

damn i need to quit consumerism!!!

Ratatouille ruled, and they ain't got a half-bad back catalogue either. The only people who thought Cars or 'touille sucked are the ones who didn't see them because the marketing didn't grab them.
-
Nothing new here, please move along.
-
I agree--can't wait for another Incredibles movie. Because Mrs. Incredible is the hottest animated piece of ass I've ever seen.
-
is making me postpone suicide.
-
turn down the "doe".
-
It's a movie about a little robot who picks litter up on a futuristic Earth. Is that right? What else happens? Anyone else know? I don't know if I want to watch a movie about a robot picking litter off a futuristic Earth....
-
...especially since dude put me on blast for my hatred of 30 Rock, I agree that this flick has serious potential. It's the first Pixar deal I want to see in the theater. However, since I gave it an endorsement, it will probably tank. Holla.
-
I work in an elementary school and some net-savvy kids are already excited about seeing it. The marketing and online clips knocked this one out of the ballpark. If the reviews are good they will dominate the family fare at the theaters this summer.
-
The composition of this shot, and the pedestrian-looking lens flare lead me to believe this is a fake... if this really is from Pixar, I think we might be looking at Pixar's first underperformer.
-
plus its an important tale bout ecology. right on pixar.
-
I keep seeing nerds whining about how this is a Short Circuit rip off. What is that, a futuristic robot hentai?

----------------------------------- -
I'm still laughing with the "ack" rhymes. Well done.
-
I don't see this doing as well as Indiana Jones 4 or Batman Dark Knight. No way.
-
what are you doing here if you dont know that? 25 year old family movies are a mystery to you?
-
I'm sorry but I'm real tired of the ol' Pixar movie formula. I liked their movies for a while, but cars was a little tired on the theme and Ratatoullie was just bad, and sad. Their movies look great, but they getting to be beat-by-beat predictable and boring. Wall-E as a character just looks stupid. Like a pair of Binoculars stuck to a rolling lunch box. Dumb. I'm tired of pretty visuals, I need more.
-
but when I saw that trailer I instantly fell in love with that little robot. I can't wait to see this movie. Besides Dark Knight, it's my #1 most wanted movie of 2008
-
While my friends all loved Ratatouille and considered it one of their favorite movies of all time, it just didn't do it for me. I'm also tired of the same type of humor and formula. I know I'm in the minority, but Pixar movies are wearing thin with me, and I'm not digging the Wall-E stuff so far.
-
To those that say Pixar is falling into the same type of humor/formula/etc:Elaborate. Because for the most part, I don't see it.
-
still laughing. genious!
-
how cute. :shrug: take the kids and grab 90 minutes worth of sleep while they watch
-
Reminds me of that movie, my younger brother was 6 the first time he watched it, broke his ickle heart when Huey (I think)was left to tend to the garden, spent all day trying to explain to him the up-side without spoiling the magic of movies. In the end gave in and told him to shut up it's just a film for fuck's sake......ahhhh memories.
-
As a die hard Pixhead, I really want to see this movie. Seeing that trailer gets me all giddy like a little kid. I didn't fall head over heels for Ratatioille like everyone else. But this movie has me throwing teper tantrums like a spolied kid at Toys R'Us. I saw the big Wall-E display in the theater last night and just wanted to steal it. It looks so cool. The last time I felt like a little kid was leaving TMNT, man that movie nailed the Turtles.
-
Pixar needs to make a AvP:Wrequiem.
-
Los Locos kick your ass! Los Locos kick your face! Los Locos kick your balls into outer space!!
-
Pixar was adult fare before the Incredibles?
-
What the shit is this shitting shit? Is this for real!? Anyways, Mori is right. This motherfucker is going to be the next E.T.
-
and i like to bitch bitch bitch about anything, including and specifically, lens flare.
someone please bring me hot pockets. -
I doubt that Wall-E will be the biggest film of 2008. I would predict Indy 4 for that. I also predict that year-on-year box office will be down and no film will take over $300 million domestically.
-
Mori, that image may have come to you from Disney, but NO WAY did that escape from Pixar. I've seen fanboy art that could at least get the shadows right, and NO ONE at Pixar would EVER allow an image out of their shop with a generic lens flare in it (much less one which is opaqued by a foreground object like Wall-E's right eye). The composition is ridiculous, the textures are mediocre, and the 3d character (something Pixar has a little experience with) lacks any dimension at all. I'll believe that's a Pixar image when i see it on their site.
Til then, to reiterate, See Message Title Above.
-
...because the designs and footage we have seen so far are so UGL-Y. Seriously, why would anybody, especially kids, want to look at rusty, depressed-looking robot characters picking trash off of shit-brown barren landscapes for 80-to-120 minutes?
-
...there is a whole history of "little lost robot" movies that have failed to connect with audiences, from HEARTBEEPS to A.I. - and if Spielberg can fail to connect, there's no reason to assume that PIXAR won't.
-
Wall-E's brilliant though.
-
But this movie still has my money.

Why is it bitching when the motherfucker looks exactly like John
by tallboy66
Yeah, I'm pumped for this movie alot too, but, goddamnit, it's Johnny 5!! He's aliveeeeee!!
-
Talkback headers suck.
-
Of all of the things I went to see at BNAT the one thing that I left feeling totally stoked about was WALL-E. It made everything else that is coming up look like crap.
-
which is what this needs to do world wide to be "the biggest."
-
but it has to originate from something. You have to show where the lens flare is coming from. But whoever designed that poster works for Pixar and I'm sitting here in my underwear.
-
Well, don't ya?
-
No way this is a legit picture from Pixar. It is very poor quality. And shmu65, who's the bigger nerd, me or people who drool over anything pixar (supposedly) puts out and defends them against any criticism? I have no opinion on the movie at all because Ive only seen the first teaser trailer. I'm pretty sure it will be very good and may even be great, but the point remains that this image looks horrible and I bet it's a fake.
-
at wall-mart
-
Say NO to Photoshop!
-
That is most definitely not a knowingly released image from Pixar, there is no Occlusion Shadows / Motion Blur or Pixar magic to that image, i say someone either say the trailer and copied or Pixar needs to control the people they hire for work-experiance.

Wall-E was the shiznit
