Wonderful! by viola123	Dec 27th, 2007 08:07:41 PM
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!!
WOW! That is gorgeous! by Bean_	Dec 27th, 2007 08:08:24 PM
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!
Hmm. by Zappary	Dec 27th, 2007 08:10:10 PM
The background could have done with a bit more work. The lens flare, I mean really?
That said by Zappary	Dec 27th, 2007 08:10:39 PM
I am sure that Wall-E will own.

That is a lovely image by moondoggy2u	Dec 27th, 2007 08:14:44 PM
But then, I've been sold on this film ever since I first heard the premise.

In that image Wall-E looks more like V.I.N.C.E.N.T from The Black Hole.

I'm reasonably excited about this, but by jigsaw	Dec 27th, 2007 08:23:59 PM
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).
Wow by Neutron	Dec 27th, 2007 08:29:00 PM
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.
Agreed. This should be Pixar's biggest. by Pound Sand	Dec 27th, 2007 08:32:37 PM
Can't wait, such a huge fan.
Does not do it justice. by lookleft	Dec 27th, 2007 08:37:11 PM
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.

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.

Motion-detecting 3D cardboard mockup standee by HyphenatedWords	Dec 27th, 2007 09:39:32 PM
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.

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.

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....
As much as I'd hate to agree with Mori... by Heckles	Dec 27th, 2007 10:34:57 PM
...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'm unreasonably excited by Larry of Arabia	Dec 27th, 2007 10:44:00 PM
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.
This CAN'T be from Pixar by Teddy Artery	Dec 27th, 2007 10:45:38 PM
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.

Pixar had better step and change up by Knightsong	Dec 28th, 2007 12:42:36 AM
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.
I don't know why.... by Stormshadow4life	Dec 28th, 2007 01:20:59 AM
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
I Agree with Knightsong by grievenom	Dec 28th, 2007 02:22:44 AM
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.
by jerseycajun	Dec 28th, 2007 02:56:13 AM
To those that say Pixar is falling into the same type of humor/formula/etc: El aborate. Because for the most part, I don't see it.

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.
Excited about this movie by Series7	Dec 28th, 2007 08:16:14 AM
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.

2008 Box Office by supertoyslast	Dec 28th, 2007 12:23:59 PM
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.
I call Shenanigans. by freakinarteest	Dec 28th, 2007 01:40:42 PM
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.
WALL-E will bomb... by Mosquito March	Dec 28th, 2007 02:28:58 PM
...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?
Incidentally.... by Mosquito March	Dec 28th, 2007 02:41:47 PM
...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.

No way this is a legit picture from Pixar. It is very poor quality.

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.

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.
