A great day for the longtime Gizmodo love target. Andrew Stanton accepted, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t hoping for a prerecorded, one-word speech by the character himself. Or by this.
Jonathan Berg’s Wall-E computer is so cute, I just want to pick him up and squeeze him. But that would probably upset the delicate mechanisms inside.
The US Army is currently testing its Wall-E-like Small Unmanned Ground Vehicles, and, well, let’s just say I hope the battlegrounds aren’t muddy in the future.
What better way than to celebrate the Oscar nominees than with a complete Wall-E meal?
Yesterday, Wall-E went on sale in Australia. If you haven’t already seen the film (and even if you have), do yourself a favour and go and pick up a copy today. It’s one of the greatest robot films ever made.
Today we reviewed Wall-E’s various toy permutations and crowned a winner; to wrap things up today, here he is in staggeringly detailed bento lunch form.
Everyone wants love, companionship and contact. Those who can’t get it from humans can turn to the latest crop of hot toy robots: Wall-E in three sizes, WowWee’s Rovio, Femisapien and Mr. Personality, the dino D-Rex, multi-talented Elmo Live and Sony’s enchantingly personable Rolly music player. Each exudes a desire to be your loyal friend from every noisy servo and glowing LED. But which should you choose?
The Product: Wall-E (Three-Disc Special Edition + Digital Copy and BD Live). It features the movie, obviously, along with enough extra content to keep Wall-E stacking little featurette cubes for years.
Limited-edition Wall-E Roomba: that brings to mind a certain image of an already-fairly-cute vacuum bot taking on two puppy dog eyes, an adorable electro-babble voice synth and maybe even an inclination to maintain a little nest of sad artifacts it has horded from your waste in an unseen corner of your giant house. Or at least, um, something that looks like the robot whose actual job was to sweep the floor in the movie? Sadly, this limited edition Wall-E Roomba fails on almost every possible count.
WALL-E is set to land on Blu-Ray (and DVD) on November 18th, and will probably become the go-to showoff movie for high-end entertainment systems. The newest Pixar movie is a big favourite here at Gizmodo, and the 3-disc set looks like a must-have for Blu-Ray owners, with all kinds of great extras. More details after the jump.
AU: I should point out, with great regret, that the Aussie Blu-ray release for Wall-E definitely won’t be on November 18, seeing as how it’s still out at the cinemas. Still, this is what you may or may not have to look forward to when it does hit Blu-ray.
