It's The Final One Sheet For WAAAALLLLLLL*EEE!!
Merrick here...
My contact BuzzLightbeer sent along this image for ya'll to take a look at. He says it's the final one sheet for WALL*E.
Can't wait for this movie...Pixar + cool robots = gold in my book. This hearkens back to the cute robot/wacky computer movies of the 1980s - ahh, bliss.
Now if someone would only remake THE LAST DRAGON? We'd be set!
And...you know I have to say it...although I'm so sorry to let down Talkbacker "God's Brother"...

...that's all I got

I'm still not sure about this. It looks great, but story-wise I don't know enough... I'm sure it'll score no matter what.

by JeanLuc Dickhard

That white robot looks like the fucking Human Torch replacement
by ELGordo
In the FF cartoons. I forget it's name. It also reminds me of the replacement robot in Futurama that Bender took a disliking to.
-
They remake all.
-
these movies are for gays
-
the futrarama robet was the X-7, the Fantastic Four robert I believe was HERBIE<P>this movie looks great but everytime I see the title I think of Wal-Mart because I've always called it Wally World, which is sad because when you say Wally World it should be in connection with National Lampoon's Vaction and not with Wal-Mart
-
way to go, Merrick
-
it's like watching pigs wallowing in their own filth.
-
Now you're dissing my favorite pastime?? Be careful.
-
The robot in Futurama was the 1X, not the X-7!
-
article go that was above this one on the main page?
-
Now.
-
and now it's not. I chose to click on this article first, and now it's gone. Creepy.
-
The X files trailer vanished right after I viewed it..I'm sure Fox has nothing to do with it..the truth is out there!!
-
saw that one coming a mile away. Stop using 'embiggen' you goddamn moron
-
Bad pun, surely, but does anyone think this won't be one of (if not THE) best movies this year? Isn't it one of the ONLY original summer releases that isn't a sequel or spin-off? God bless PIXAR!! <BR> <BR> Chiller!<BR> http://tinyurl.com/2nkscz

Come on, finish your sentence, all-caps... I DARE YOU
-
What's more "ghey", a harmless movie robot or someone who thinks of gay sex when he sees the poster for a children's film?<p>Just a helpful pointer for you there, before the next time you post something so self-unaware.<p>It looks like a really cute, charming little children's movie, and what's wrong with some non-ironic imaginative fare in a world poisoned by the self-satisfied smugness seen in comments like the one I refer to above?
-
Hmm...
-
that would be embiggenly cool!!
-
I pray to God you're not serious.
-
I smell a lawsuit.

I was wondering how far I'd have to scroll down
by Grammaton Cleric Binks
to find the first Johnny Five joke. There will be lawsuits, and they will be justified. Nuff said. WALL-E is drinking Johnny Five's milkshake.

..need input! NO DISASSEMBLE!

content that requires an R rating = something that would actually get me excited. What are they waiting for? Didn't their contract with Disney expire awhile back? Even if Disney wouldn't let them do it because of contractual shit couldn't they start up a satellite company that could make grittier movies?<P>Since i've already started to go there, I may as well bring it up: Pixar remaking AKIRA in a version closer to the books than the original anime-- rather than whoever doing the live-action disaster that is supposedly in the works-- would be just about the most mind-blowing movie news of my life.<P>I mean IMAGINE THAT SHIT!! A pot smoking alien can dream, i guess...
-
thinking the same thing. "Number 5 is alive, and still under copyright protection."
-
their contract with disney did expire... and so then disney bought pixar...
-
Or Small Wonder....I wonder?
-
my embiggened prostate is blasphemy? <p> on a lighter note, disney bought pixar(7.4 billion in stock), making steve jobs the largest disney stock holder. it happened back in '06, so aicn should be reporting on it next week ... <p> i keed harry, i keed...
-
NOW WHERE'S INCREDIBLES 2!!!
-
Or "ghey" before anyone gets started...
-
I'm not underwhelmed. But I'm not any "more" excited to see this movie based on this poster. It's sort of an odd choice for Pixar. This feels like a one-page ad for its DVD release than it does a big theatrical release.
-
Fuck that! Where's my Flight of Dragons remake?
-
Honestly the hatred Pixar gets around here for making good to terrific films is astounding. Do most people trash Pixar cause they think its hip or something.
-
I'm a black guy from East Detroit and I loved The Incredibles.
-
....i think you mean 'fucking rips off'! i love disney and pixar, (apart from the incredibles: holly hunters voice destroyed that movie for me!) but they should be sued from here to eternity for the whole wall e design!
-
I get a bad link when I try to embigin'
-
Check the link guys...
-
I bet that is what Wall-E becomes after a cosmic upgrade, so he go go all over space an never be alone again.
-
I love the design of that rocket!

Left hand to the chest/right hand raised is a classic pose for a blessing. It is found in other cultures, but in Christian iconography, two fingers are held up, and the hand is often tilted. If Wall-E were human,his left hand would be over his heart. The tilt of his raised right hand, along with the upward direction of his gaze creates a "pregnant" moment- tension created by something not quite touched(ie the image of Adam and God reaching towards each other on the Sistine ceiling.) The pose suggests Wall-E's attempt to connect his heart to space(a surrogate in this case for God or enlightenment.) The use of the iconic pose is meant to create an emotional connection the character and the audience. Without identifying the pose, a person reacting subconsciously will either gladly accept the positive emotion conveyed and will connect on some deep level to the character, or they will feel manipulated and get angry. Personally, I think the best art connects with us on a conscious as well as subconscious level, and it communicates emotion by drawing emotion out of us. If they pay as much attention to the detail of the character animation as they did to this one pose, its gonna be a great movie.

...Number 5 is alive.
-
of course they do. they are in the business of making animated films for families. (very-very profitable animated family films) <p> nobody is bashing scorcese for not coming out with an animated animal comedy CAUSE IT AINT WHAT HE DOES!<p> "you know, 'the departed' would have been a much better film if it were all cgi kittens and took place candyland"
-
WEST-SIIIIIDE!!!
-
Ya, you're probably right.
-
my point is, they are making a shite load of money off what they are doing, so until they have a box office failure (and it will likely take more than one failure) they're not going to stray to far from what they've already put out. <p> i could see them creating a separate division for more adult themed animation. <p> as for The Departed, the parts were greater than the sum of the whole...

Sorry but I really disagree with the general anti Pixar census
by Lovecraftfan
Pixar does have its formulas but does them amazingly well. Pixar consistently makes good films and most of the time great films as the brilliant incredibles, Ratatouille were. I just dont get the Pixar bashing.
-
First. In. Line. That's all i'm saying Mr Rip, if that is indeed your real name.
-
thank you Pixar for the meaningful story.
-
Rip Taylor... <p> *in best peter griffith voice* "are you rip taylor? .... are you?"
-
This art is a vast improvement over the first images, at least it shows a bit of a 'story' in the imagery.
-
No sett-le-ment! Noooo sett-le-ment!
-
Pixar has perfected pitching their films to the 4 quadrant market - that is, Male & Female, Young & Old. They make films with the potential to reach every demographic. That's gold in box office terms.</p> Yes, it does involve a bit of pandering to the lowest common denominator, but as long as they keep guys like Brad Bird (who can make formula more palatable than anyone else this side of Spielberg) then I reckon they might as well stick to what's working for them. If it ain't broke and all that.
-
Anyone else looking forward to Semi-pro bombing harder than paris hilton's shitty movie?
-
I've seen more well crafted stories on saturday mornings over a bowl of fruit loops. Maybe I just couldn't get pass how you can control someone by pulling their hair, but it's certainly way overrated.
-
Can't we all just get along!
-
that a certain segment of geeky folks reach a certain age and think everything should be dark, ironic and made just for them. "Why isn't every animated movie R-rated anime?" What's wrong with making movies for kids. There are a lot of TERRIBLE kids movies. Pixar shook things up and made films adults can actually like, without being "hip" self-referential and full of pop culture references. And Incredibles was much more adult than people are giving it credit for. I think you have to either have kids or nieces and nephews to get to the point where you can appreciate something kids can watch that isn't smug and cynical.
-
is that the people making the Wall-E/Johnny 5 "rip off" posts think they're adding something new to the discussion over this movie.<br /><br />News flash: We've' heard all this about 12 months ago - and have heard it another 10,000 times for every story that surfaces over the movie. If there's anyone you haven't told of this, they're living in a cave in Afghanistan. So kindly leave it be and move on.
-
He want's his look back lmao.
-
Heh. Pixar rules.
-
ha ha ha ha well played. Ok, beef over. Use it all you want, Merrick. Comedy saves the day once more...
-
DAMN YOU PIXAR!!!
-
Just a Disney-fied, 'A Grand Day Out' with Wallace and Gromit 1989?
-
Tell me I'm wrong if you want, but I swear to God that that little fucker has a resemblance to the old 8-bit Nintendo robot peripheral that they sold waaaaay back in the 80s. You know the one I'm talking about, R.O.B. It was that little thing that turned back and forth picking up...things. Anyway, it looks like ROB's great great great great great bastard grand child but the resemblance is there.

If you took away all the comments that had been 'done before'...
by Sledge Hammer
...there would be no talkback left.

...just be happy that you won't have to sit through a flick that doesn't make some attempt to appeal to adults, like Teletubbies, or Power Rangers. <p>I understand that not all people are into the technical aspect of film-making, but there is whole world out there that you're missing if you only look at a kid's movie on the surface. <p>Whether it's entertaining to you or not, that's a personal choice. The movie is made for kids. If you're not a kid, there is less chance that you'll enjoy it. I suppose it is easier to enjoy a movie if you're able to suspend (a certain amount, anyway) disbelief. It seems like many people can't, in our reality-obsessed global culture. <p>The sheer volume of manpower involved in the production, on the other hand, is amazing. Especially on large sets, fx, and animated films (CGI included). I dig appreciating the good ones and rip on the lesser too, but still find the whole process facinating, regardless if it's a family, fantasy, sci-fi, romcom, or dramedy. <p>Wall-E looks to be another big release for Pixar, who IMHO hasn't faltered from it's formula since inception and I love 'em for it. Sure there's been a few that I haven't felt as good about, but their worst is still better than most animation studios have ever put out (again, IMHO), and that's saying something. I have enjoyed many classic and modern animation films.

You are definitely the Embigg... err Bigger man! God must be proud :-)
-
I've sometimes thought that might not be such a bad thing.
-
As in, for people in general. They don't target kids, adults, men, women or any other subset group specifically. They target people, and Hollywood would do well to learn from that.
