Looks like I was wrong about Disney and Pixar. There is something they enjoy more than making movies and making posters about the movies they make. They also enjoy making trailers about the movies they make…lots and lots and lots of trailers. Lucky for us, they’re so incredibly good at it.
What if mankind had to leave Earth, and somebody forgot to turn the last robot off? Academy Award-winning writer-director Andrew Stanton (Finding Nemo) and the inventive storytellers and technical geniuses at Pixar Animation Studios (The Incredibles, Cars, Ratatouille) transport moviegoers to a galaxy not so very far away for a new computer-animated cosmic comedy about a determined robot named WALL*E. After hundreds of lonely years of doing what he was built for, WALL*E (short for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class) discovers a new purpose in life (besides collecting knick-knacks) when he meets a sleek search robot named EVE. EVE comes to realize that WALL*E has inadvertently stumbled upon the key to the planet’s future, and races back to space to report her findings to the humans (who have been eagerly awaiting word that it is safe to return home).
I actually laughed out loud two or three times while watching this trailer. This movie looks really, really good. I mean, Pixar movies are pretty much always good, but this is a movie I can actually get excited about (unlike the last couple which I was perfectly happy to wait to watch on DVD). I actually think this movie is in my top five most anticipated movies of the summer.
Wall-E hits theaters on June 27, 2008.
He’s cute
Good humor, looks like i’ll be at the movies with my daughter before too long
