Very short message from Laughingplace about the next Pixar after Ratatouille.

Quote from: "Laughingplace""W.A.L. - E" Name of Pixar Film After Ratatouille
We are hearing that the name of Pixar's 2008 release is called "W.A.L. - E"

I wonder what W.A.L-E stands for?

Anthony · August 10, 2006, 08:38:48 PM

W.A.L. - E ?? How do you pronounce that? It doesn't seem to be in the same vain as previous Pixar titles, they usually go for titles so simple that you almost don't need to see the film: Toy Story, Cars, The Incredibles... W.A.L. - E? :lol:

Maybe it's a simple working title, as I hope it is anyway, it suddenly makes me want to get out my old Where's Wally comics :lol: .

from Animated-News.com:

WALL• E revealed

The first image from WALL• E, the Disney/Pixar film scheduled to to come after Ratatouille, has been released in a December 2006 Letter to the Shareholders by Disney CEO Bob Iger. "We're... excited about Pixar's next animated movie, Ratatouille, which will be released this summer. And I'm pleased to give you an exclusive first look at the title character of their next movie, WALL• E (pictured here), which will be released the following year." Andrew Stanton (Finding Nemo) is directing and the film is scheduled for release June 2008. Thanks to Kinoo in the Animated News & Views Forum for the heads up!

It reminds me of a droid from Star Tours...

This was posted back in April 2006 on animated-news.com

Disney and Pixar have set Wall-E, Andrew Stanton's next film, for a release date of June 27, 2008. Not much is known about the plot of this movie, but it's rumored to be about a robot. Stanton's previous film as a director was Finding Nemo. He has been credited as a writer on Pixar's Toy Story films, A Bug's Life, and Monsters Inc. in addition to Nemo. Wall-E will follow Brad Bird's 2007 film, Ratatouille.

And another great logo from Pixar...

Quote from: "JimHillMedia.com""Wall E." FYI: You won't actually find the logo for this new Andrew Stanton film in this year's annual report. That particular "Wall E" image was recently forwarded to me by a friend who has very strong ties to the Mouse House. Who tells me that this robots-in-love story looks rather promising.

Pixar remains original with the themes of their films. Insteed of cute animals, Pixar always seems to choose for the more difficult, but artistically better, way. Cars, monsters, toys, and fishes were only the beginning.. its time for robots. I hope Pixar will remain as succesful, original and keeps its quality. I can't say much about one pic, but at least the logo seems nice. :wink:

I did the same, but if u follow the link in imdbpro, it takes u to a couple of links and that shows the date i posted above

I quite like the logo. It looks like they have gone down a bit of a different route with it though, looking at the picture, it looks like a mini version of Short Circuit (old 80s film). It doesn't look very cartoonish compared to the other Pixar films too. It will be nice to find out more about the story of it.

Don't forget we will see a trailer for it this summer when Ratatouille is released. Seeing as before every Pixar film we see the trailer for the next Pixar release. Can't wait to see/hear more.

I read this story on a Dutch movie website:

QuoteMankind has left planet Earth that has become inhabitable caused by pollution. They send from their new home in outer space millions of robots (including Wall • e) that have to clean up earth, but they don't succeed in this and the whole operation fails. The female robot Eve is send from space to investigate why the rescue operation isn't a success. Wall • E falls in love with her and gets the help of his defunct robot friends to help his love conquer.

The sure doesnt sound the kind of style a pixar movie usualy is in!

Firstly the doom and gloom from mankind leaving earth, and secondly because the clean up mission fails! How trustworthy is the site that put up the plot outline?

Anthony · February 18, 2007, 04:40:16 PM

I've read the same plot elsewhere... Seems quite political, about the earth being too polluted to live on? Something I'm not sure is true is that much of the film will be nearly silent. I can't remember where I read that...

Anyway, I think Disney are sweating a bit because they just paid so much for Pixar and now they're apparently going all arthouse/indie on us. :lol: Although I can remember the concept for Cars and Monsters Inc not seeming very commercial and easy to get into when the first trailers were released, but look at them now...
