"WALL·E", who is going to see it?

I saw this movie last night and it knocked my socks off. J5 look-alike or not. I'll definitely be buying this on DVD. :)

For the conspiracy/theft nuts out there, WALL·E isn't the only robot look-alike in the movie. Some of the other robots also have interesting look-alikes. Some people are saying that Otto (Auto?) looks like HAL whereas, to me, it looks more like Max (Flight of the Navigator). The small assistant robot on the bridge reminds me of a legless Maximilian (Both Disney robots from movies that haven't been published in twenty years, so not much of a theft there  ;D ). The Axiom looks vaguely familiar to me as well, makes me want to say it's similar to one in a Futurama episode but I can't rightly recall. A few of the robot designs tickle my memories as well, but I can't exactly place them. I'm sure a lot of WALL·E haters will be digging through a lot of movie archives looking for similarities.  :laugh2:

I'm not a Wall-E hater(haven't seen it yet, so how could I be), I just told what came to my mind the very first time I saw something about this movie.

BTW HAL wasn't a robot but a computer, right ?

Yeah, that is true. I left the term robots in there due to an edit. However, more than a few people are drawing comparisons between HAL and AUTO, such as this article on CNN (spoilers!). Auto's eye and his duty is like that of HAL, but I see the comparison ending there. Auto's functionality and design is more like Max.

Added:

Looks like there are more than just HAL/Auto similarities in the movie. I didn't really notice, but people are saying that there are several scenes where music from or similar to Space Odyssey have been included in the movie. Regardless of the 2k*SO references, Auto looks more like Max than HAL.

Whaa? Iron Giant went too far? I didn't get that at all.
What the hell kinda moralist tales you want?
