Being the sort of chap I am, I’ve recently been looking for anything Wall-E related since it’s coming out soon.
I’ve watched trailer, clips, interviews, specials and … other things.
Anyway, the film is absolutely STUFFED with references to past robots and great robot points.
Look at Wall-E himself … itself. He’s a little robot who has a personality on a world full of rubbish. He also has one hell of a likeness to Johnny 5. Really, I mean it. Wall-E is a hell of a lot like the old J-5 from the 80’s. He inquisitive and a bit dumb because of it.
Then there’s Auto. Auto is the ships wheel and as far as I can tell, distant relative to GLaDOS of Portal fame. Well, if GLaDOS got it on with HAL 9000 from “2001 a Space Odyssey”. I mean, look at him. He’s white, black, smooth and awesome looking and looks a bit like GLaDOS when viewed from below (GLaDOS has various pipe work connecting her to the rest of the labs so looks a bit like the wheel).
Anyway, that’s about it. Can you tell I have nothing to do today?
Wall-E is out on the 18th of this month. Being Pixar it will be awesome.
Short Circuit was so awesome ![]()
Wall-E totally looks like the robot from “Short Circuit”… minus the cheesy 80’s style of course
