I want one! I want one!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Usually this type of robot sophistication makes me tremble in fear of the inevitable robot wars... but not this...
Wall-E Spotted in LA! from Blink on Vimeo.
I love how Pixar is bringing the magic back to Disney. If I went to Disneyland and saw that as a kid I would have flipped my shit. Whose side will Wall-E fall on when the park goes Westworld on us? I think it'll be the Country Bears, Indiana Jones, Pirates and Presidents trying to kill us and Wall-E and the Star Tours robots will fight for the humans.
I can't wait for this movie and I want my own Wall-E so bad it hurts! Thanks to EnigmaX for the link over to gizmodo!

someone had to say it!
-
That little dragon needed his own movie series
-
To be second.....
-
I am interested in how this movie works with fans. I hear there is little to no dialogue whatsoever.. which I find cool.
-
I don't see it
-
I want one too!
-
Anybody else remember getting chased around the aisles of their local grocery store by the "Coke" R2-D2? We need more interactive robots!!!! Also,I want a Summer Glau bot please....
-
Queen Liffey thinks it's not only cute, but bar none the cutest thing she's ever seen. I would think that spot would be filled by a kitten with sunglasses on drinking a mojito or something but I guess I'm wrong
-
Just 'cause I'm an asshole.
-
I'll fucking shoot someone.
GO ON STAR TOURS. They have the same design of the robot, and the ride came out before Short Circuit. -
Like a prepubescent girl who's pony just died. He's just endearing enough to sling me through a sappy, manipulative Disney movie until the inevitable third act character trial when you start hearing the kids sniffle. . . Just like Bambi and his mom, ole Buckshot herself.
-
Pixar = for babies.
-
Star Tours does not predate Short Circuit and I never saw no Star Tours robot have an existential epiphany after reading Pinnochio.
-
Short Circuit came out in 1986. Star Tours premiered in Disneyland Anaheim's Tomorrowland in January 1987. Not that it really matters.
-
Brilliant character design.
-
Pixar's movies show at least three times the maturity and depth of Bay's Transformers. It's sad when movies aimed at little kids are more intelligent than crap adults love.
-
...I checked Wikipedia AFTER I made the claim that Short Circuit came first. Damagedinc always shoots fast and shoots first.
-
I'm a chick. Consequently, pretty much everything I see is the cutest thing I've ever seen. I'm pretty easy. Though I'll admit that robot kind of made me squeal and therefore elevates its rank in my cuteness pantheon.
-
cutesy, robot garbage. I just don't get all the fuss over this Slimer sound-a-like piece of moving trash. Bleah. Remember: the folks at Pixar are NOT gods. You don't have to like this.
-
Pixar adds to it.
-
Guess a ridiculous fake robot has more impact than one of the co-creators of MAD magazine?
-
Get out of my nightmares and back to Disneyland.
-
Transformers are still cooler than wall-e, even though the movie sucked.
-
But I had dates. DATES, I tell you!
-
thats amazing!!
-
Not really. In fact, Transformers was kind of the tipping point. I and a few others have been bitching about Bay forever, but up until TF proved how substanceless and vapid his 'work' really is, he was quite popular around the AiCN talkbacks.
-
They already took out the Country Bears and Lincoln to weed out the defectors. (Bastards. Country Bear Jamboree was the SHIT! What the hell do Knotts and Disneyland have against bears? First Beary Tales then Country Bears, gone...forget Lucas, THAT'S raping childhood.)

So you dissed the animated for the live action, Hammock? DENIED
by baked
I'm putting your bad taste on notice.
-
me mee meee
-
Whoa!
-
I won't. I didn't make it through more than twenty minutes of the first. Though I did see it for free. If I'd paid for it maybe I would have watched more. It's coming to HBO in a few months, so maybe I'll watch it then.
-
That was his name aka Cobot. I decided to wiki him and was saddened to learn he died of robo-A.I.D.s in 1987. Also,did you know that Cokebots parents were Kenny Baker and a convention center vending machine? The things you learn on this here internets....
-
Any thing that wears a bra as glasses is the one I'm going with.
-
I cannot wait to take my boys and wife to see this movie.
-
I smell a bomb ...
-
I'd love to have one for target practice...
-
In the supermarket... totally flipped out. One of the best moments of my childhood. I remember the thing actually opened a panel and revealed a little mechanical arm holding a pic of R2. Talk about magic. It was unreal. This Wall-E clip makes me smile.
-
I just saw your post about Cokebot. Geek minds think alike. Bummer about the robo-AIDS, though.
-
as they will have these wall-e robots positioned throughout both disneyland and disneyworld...thats right bitches...wall-e is gonna kick the dark knights ass
-
Say it's too cute if you want, but you know deep down you'd piss yourself if a WALL-E rolled right up to you and actually interacted like it did in the video. I guarantee if there's one rolling around Disneyland anytime soon, it'll be like the fucking Pied Piper.
-
Can't wait. Most anticipated movie of the summer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Pixar is God.
-
the movement is too smooth (compare it to the new ASIMO), the color temperature of the light isn't right, and the video grain doesn't quite match, and the reflections in his eyes are pretty fake looking. That's my initial impression. If it is real, then that's awesome robotics- but I really believe this is a fake.
-
Damn You Michael Bay
-
I just saw the shadow of the guy move across his body, and that's pretty tough to do. Also, the vibration of his head when he shrugs indicates mass and movement, so I am more inclined to believe this is real. It's still too smooth!
-
lol at u
-
Then they had me fooled. Looks great... even if it is Johnny 5
-
then you need to get your nose checked you assclown
-
so cute it should come with a health warning. 'warning, the following footage will make you warm and fuzzy inside and remove all cynicism during its duration. '
-
Disneyland will be replaced by Pixarland in five years. Mark my word.
-
That's all Wall-E looks like to me. Call me a cold, callous bitch but what the fuck ever happened to warming up to endearing, clever, witty PEOPLE?? Technology is useful but getting emotional over it is just the beginning of the Matrix.
-
At least ET could smile. This just feels old.
-
This could be an E.T for a new generation of kids.
-
I mean I've seen idiocy on AICN, just never at a "all posts/posts that make me suicidal ratio" as this one. So many people basically screaming "I'M A GENIUS" to the air.
That thing is aggressively cute by the way, but has just enough class to put a stupid grin on my face. I want one too. -
am i the only one who thinks that could possibly be the greatest movie ever made......aside from Attack of the Clones, clearly...oh wait...no, that sucked balls
but the idea of someones face being burned off "accidentally" on the buzz lightyear laser ride...then an animatronic Mickey Mouse eating a small childs head after it sees him bite into a Mouse shaped Ice-Cream....with the climatic battle a simultaneous fight between Wall-E and Goofy, our hero versus Mickey and of course, the suprise good guys, the cast of its a small world versus the pirates of the carribean......awesome.... -
With all the bad press you guys are getting in the international arena regarding Iraq and the total collapse of the global money markets, it's easy to forget things like this. Like 'Wall-E' and the magic that Hollywood in general, when firing on all cylinders, can bring to the world.I live in London. It's a 'multicultural' toilet, but seeing the look on my five year old daughter's face as she watched the 'Wall-E' trailer was priceless and for that, America, I thank you.
-
Tripy.
-
I think the word you're looking for is 'trippy'; 'tripy' pertains to the lining of a sheep's stomach. Not pleasant.
-
Mmmmnnn tripy!
-
Is there anything more disgusting than haggis? Proof, I feel, of the cataclysmic brain-altering properties of Scotch. I mean, there's no way you'd eat that sober, is there?
-
...when I was a kid. I was a kid a long time ago. Now, I'd settle for a Dalek !
-
Number Johnny 5.

Like the best Pixar film since "The Incredibles," maybe ever. Certainly their most lovable creation thus far.
-
when SkyNet goes sentient that smile will be wiped off your face. I'm just sayin'.
-
That's fucking great!
-
http://tinyurl.com/65rq44Meet your future masters. And, please, keep on kicking them... While they still let you.Seriously, though, I think Big Dog is WAY cuter (and more disturbing) than that Pixar piece of shit.
-
Every Robot should have a sexy Claudia Black voice.
-
This is a bit of marketing from Pixar. There is no physical robot. It's CG.
-
Noo boobies
-
This is part of Disney's 'living character' initiative. Free-roaming audio animatronic robots, The Wall E seen in this video, as well as its predecessors the Muppet Mobile lab (a free-balanced contraption with muppet scientist Benson Honeydew and his squeaky lab assistant Beaker riding it) and Lucky the Dinosaur, are attractions in themselves, stunning guests with their realism and fluidity. (I actually wrote that, not a Disney parks brochure--but if the Disney people are reading this, I'd be happy to write their next brochure). They roam the Disney parks, usually Disney's California Adventure in Anaheim, Disney's Hollywood Studios in Orlando, and now Hong Kong Disneyland, and are controlled remotely, allowing them to interact with guests and situations. This is NOT CG.
-
Too bad I reported on this to Harry two weeks ago. At least now I know who to send my reports to in the future. Oh, Harry, I thought we had something special together.
-
I have the feeling that after we see this little guy lead a robot rebellion and save the earth we'll change our tune.
-
Which is ok, since I was going into diabetic shock.
-
...almost! My R2D2 is truly R2. Hasbro release a limited number and I was a lucky buyer. Wall-E rocks though and I do want one!
-
All these 25 and 14 inch models, even if they have motion-sensor technology or can play DVD's and serve as projectors, just don't cut it.
-
In the foyer of our local cinema and seemed to get a bigger kick out of Wal-E than The movie we took him to which was inevitable really being that it was the snooze inducing Speedracer.
-
WALL*E dies!!! In a horrific manner!!!
-
I mean i want to get the same love that wall-e gets.. Always riding on jock...
-
i mean those are some pretty wide goggles to stretch their gaping flytraps over...
-
I want too!!!!!! Pixar just rules to roost now. Haters beware. And did some muppet say this was gonna tank at the BO? ROFL!!!! :D
-
I just want to pound him with a shovel
-
from A New Hope. It had a really funny name. Someone here has to know it I can't fucking remember it and it's bothering the shit out of me. It showed up like once on the Lars farm. Binocular head, some graspers coming from the base...
-
Get off this cutesy shit! It's so played out
-
Well ok, not pedophiles but definately dried up husks of joylessness.
Pixar did not ruin Disney, they saved Disney, and ALL of their movies so far have a consistent quality that is unmatched in their field, and unmatched by most Hollywood fare animated or not.
Gotta love the AICN bad-asses who will down cry something because it's cute or kiddie. Fact is Pixar films handle their chosen themes in far more mature a manner than Action Spunkfest 47 or Generic Romantic Comedy ever could. These are the same people who dismiss Mario games as "for kids" while playing stuff that only teenagers actually find cool. Dick heads. -
IF I WAS ALL DOPED OUT TOO LIKE KAL PENNS KUMAR CHARACTER I'D SEE TALKING ROBOTS TOO!!! THIS MOVIE LOOKS LAME. CARS SUCKED SACK TOO! BRING ON TOY STORY 3
-
...I can handle cute - I like Finding Nemo. But something about Wall-E's eyes just makes me want to put him in a trash compactor, that's all.
-
Is it the perma-sad look they seem to have? I understand, kind of like an old spaniel dog with their stupid droopy faces.
And ottoparts, which ones? The ones who hate him or the ones who like him? And just a thought, if YOU have such a great life full of speed boats and models, how'd you get the time to read all this and post a witty reply?
Huh buttercup? -
I'm actually a Pixar fan for the most part. Love Nemo and The Incredibles. But the look of that robot makes me violent. I'll be skipping this one. Which means it will only make 50 kagillion dollars minus seven bucks.
