WALL-E

For the live action - I do remember reading somewhere that

Howevever, I kind of don't think we will see Humans interacting with animated characters (I could be wrong though) just as it's not something I see Pixar doing, and I don't think they would practice on a feature film. That's what the shorts are there for.

Yep! The Article from aintitcool.com confirms that people visible in the movie will be animated. Animation tests were shown during Comic-Con presentation:

"Next, we got some animation test and pre-visualisations of humans. All humans have turned into couch potatoes after living in luxurious space condos for hundreds of years, and all humans have a levitating recliner chair that they use to move around. The video clip showed a big plaza where dozens of these couch potato humans were moving about in their hoverchairs. The next clip showed one human attempting to roll out of his chair and falling on the ground. Humans are big and fat, but not quite blobs or mutants. Just fat humans."

All I can picture for the humans at the moment is that fat alien instructor from Lifted.

Probably a stupid question but do we have any clue on the synopsis of the film? Like all pixar films, I always find the trailers are just far too short and uninformative. I really couldn't get a lot out of the Wall-E trailer other than it involved a robot.

This is pretty much all anyone knows so far: (from the article, been re-printed a lot) In John Lassetter's words:

WALL-E is the story of the last little robot on Earth. He is a robot that his programming was to help clean up. You see, it's set way in the future. Through consumerism, rampant, unchecked consumerism, the Earth was covered with trash. And to clean up, everyone had to leave Earth and set in place millions of these little robots that went around to clean up the trash and make Earth habitable again.

Well, the cleanup program failed with the exception of this one little robot and he's left on Earth doing his duty all alone. But it's not a story about science fiction. It's a love story, because, you see, WALL-E falls in love with [Eve], a robot from a probe that comes down to check on Earth, and she's left there to check on and see how things are going and he absolutely falls in love with her.

At first it sounded like Explorers meets AI meets Bicentennial Man to me (j/k

) but I've come around to it since then.

The satire element has drawn me in more than anything. Pixar doing satire is a real step into the unexplored, and I'm pretty interested in that.

Yep, I'd guess this is the new trailer.

Nice...very much along the same lines as the first with a little bit more of a peek. I love the acting.

On the logo...it would be cool if they eventually made one with some prominent characters...Woody or Buzz as the A in Pixar, etc...

Neat!

The relationship between WALL-E and his "pet" cockroach looks adorable!

Only if they would do it for a one-time-only event, I would hate to see them 're-imagine" their logo in that way.

Really love the new trailer. Very cute, let's hope we get an HD version soon!
