WALL-E

Post by **YCougar** » January 17th, 2007, 5:35 pm

That's the first thing I thought, too... Mars rover, or something.

Hmm, another vehicle, eh? He really doesn't look like much; he'll have to have one heck of an awesome personality to be relatable. That was just my initial reaction, of course... I know Pixar is capable of pulling it off. Question is... will they?

YCouger - If George Lucas can make R2-D2 act like a puppy dog, then just imagine what the Pixar artists will do with this little guy.

And yeah -- "Mars rover". That's what I was thinking of!

First thing I thought of was "Old B.O.B.," from The Black Hole ..

.. I'm not sure that's a good thing ..

.. but Pixar always seems to have a knack for making me 'doubtful' with the early tastes & teasers, and then 'blowing me away' with the finished product .. so I will wait-and-see ..

Wowee! The first screenshot, I think I may pass out. And after reading that letter to the shareholders I think we have some real gems from Disney in the pipeline.

Interesting - usually the first images Pixar releases for their movies are bright, colorful and happy...This one is a bit more dark and depressing looking - which I love. The robot is adorable, and he looks different than the Pixar norm as well.

Looking foward to more!

Take with a grain of salt, but on the CG Society forum someone says they've heard rumors this film may be totally dialogue free!

I'm moving this thread from News Submissions to Theatrical Features.

dialogue free!...no way!

Post by **James** » January 18th, 2007, 12:19 pm

probably not, I'd say.

There's another rumor that says it is about "robots-in-love"

Hmm, trust Jim? Nah!

I would say no, to the no dialogue thing to. That would be crazy, and I doubt it would hold anyones attention for very long.

Btw, love the new sig, JV!

Thanks Daniel Jake!

Dialogue free eh? Hmm...That would be interesting, but I agree, it doesn't sound very plausible. If it were an animated short, I'd believe it, but...

BTW - I wasn't expecting to see anything from this for a few months - what's up with it the pics being released so soon?
