"WALL·E", who is going to see it?
shmokes:
Yeah, that's hilarious. I actually took for granted that he did look pretty much just like Johnny 5 until I saw the comparison picture. There is far less similarity than I initially thought.
shardian:
I would only consider it a rip-off if Wall-E acted like Johnny-5. He doesn't even talk, so that is a no-brainer. And he certainly is not a military prototype war-machine like Johnny-5. If they look similar, it is because they are both meant to be rough terrain robots.
One other thing would be if Wall-e had shutters on his eyes. Johnny-5 expressed emotion via the eyelid-like shutters. Wall-E's head definitely resembles binoculars much more than Johnny-5.

Why do so many people seem to miss this? Wall-E looks less like the Short Circuit robot (who was stupid and gay whereas Wall-E is totally awesome, by the way), and more like E.T. the Extra Terrestrial. The way he moves his head and neck is very reminiscent of E.T. - and his personality as well. Curious and childlike. He is also small and cute, but that Short Circuit freak is big and gangly and awkward and I would definitely shoot it if it came into my house. Wall-E is awesome though. Wall-E also isn't followed around by Hollywood's Biggest Mistake, Steve Guttenberg. For the love of God Short Circuit was a bad movie. Anyway Wall-E is awesome. Saw it with my 5 yr old daughter - her first movie theater experience - and it is a fabulous movie and perfect for a kid that age.

I did finally see this, and it is slowly becoming my favorite Pixar Movie. My daughter is almost 2, and she absolutely LOVES Wall-e. Most of the time when we pop in a movie, she hits the road to play with her dollhouse. With Wall-e, she sat or stood glued to the TV. She'll walk around the house saying 'wallleeeeee'. If I even mention seeing Wall-e, she will make a beeline for the TV area.
The first time I watched it, I wasn't very interested. I even fell asleep. I finally watched it all the way thru and really liked it. Then I watched it again and liked it even more. I've seen it 15-20 times already and enjoy it every time. It is one of those truly great movies that you can see over and over.
I officially make this my 'Best movie of 2008' choice. It was Dark Knight until I saw that again on DVD. It wasn't nearly as good the second time thru.
And side note: Do you know how much ass it kicks to have a little girl that likes Wall-E 10 times more than Princess stuff? It is AWESOME!

I rented this as soon as it came it out on video. I thought it was a good movie.
I might see it a second time if it’s on free TV some Sunday afternoon, as long as the other channels aren’t playing any Xena or the Andy Griffith show reruns.
