Wall-E coverage from Comic-Con...

I'm not going to do a formal Con write up on WALL-E mainly because I sat in on the panel just for fun, not for work. But for all the hype you hear about IRON MAN, just know there was one other panel that was just as impressive. While IRON MAN made you want to stand up and cheer, WALL-E left you with a smile from ear to ear. Unlike a lot of the presenters at the Con, Andrew Stanton is an accomplished public speaker and did a great job of relating his vision of the film to the crowd. He also brought out STAR WARS sound guru Ben Burtt who highlighted a lot of the sounds we'll hear in the film (considering it's almost completely dialogue-free). Burtt will "voice" Wall-E, but the character only makes a few sounds - his name that you heard in the trailer, a "sigh," a "whoa" sound and "Eve," the name of the robot he falls in love with.

They showed a new Pixar logo intro (you know the one with the bouncing Luxo light) this time with Wall-E involved. And after seeing that and seeing four minutes from the beginning of the film, I can say with some degree of certainty that Wall-E will be one of the most beloved modern Disney characters. He's just that charming. Anyway, before this turns into a formal Con write-up or Pixar worship session, let me get to what I'm here to tell you. We've got a new teaser poster for WALL-E as well as some pics I was able to snag from the Con. It sucks that we have to wait almost a full year but I guarantee it'll be worth it when it gets here.

I will see this solely because it's a movie about a robot garbage can, and I'm not ashamed to say it.

Cars wasn't very good and I didn't even bother with that rat movie, you'd better step up, Pixar.

Ratatouille was AMAZING. I just hope this is half as good as 'that rat movie'

Ratatouille was actually really good. It wasn't as funny as some of their others, but it's worth seeing. IAWTC about Cars though, I was a bit disappointed.

I agree. Ahahah, but I didn't even see the Incredibles, Cars, or Rata-whatever. They just didn't look interesting to me, TBH.

I think Cars was probably their one misstep. Although, I admit I didn't like Monsters, Inc too much. But Incredibles was really good and Ratatouille is probably my favorite of the Pixar movies. You're missing out.

I can't believe Disney is now a major stockholder of Pixar and calls the shots. Every Pixar project is now Disney property. I find that to be sad...

Actually, Pixar is now calling a lot of the shots at the Disney Property. They just took over the whole animation side or something recently.

yup. disney fired over half of their hand-drawing animators and replaced them with pixar's computer animators.

totally killed my dream of becoming a cartoonist lol
