New Wall-E Featurette - Pixar Goes Space Age
by Alex Billington
June 14, 2008
Although I've actually seen Wall-E, I can't yet talk about how amazing it was. Instead, I'll continue to share with all of you the best featurettes and videos to continue to get you in the mood for this wonderful Pixar film. This latest featurette talks about the visuals and cinematography. If you've wondered why the camera work in Wall-E looks so amazing, this featurette answers that question. Oscar nominated cinematographer Roger Deakins actually worked on the film as a visual consultant. Deakins was responsible for the great cinematography in Assassination of Jesse James, No Country for Old Men, and In the Valley of Elah last year, for which he was nominated for two Academy Awards. Impressed yet?
After hundreds of lonely years of doing what he was built for, WALL-E discovers a new purpose in life (besides collecting knick-knacks) when he meets a sleek search robot named EVE. EVE comes to realize that WALL-E has inadvertently stumbled upon the key to the planet's future, and races back to space to report her findings to the humans (who have been eagerly awaiting word that it is safe to return home). Meanwhile, WALL-E chases EVE across the galaxy and sets into motion one of the most exciting and imaginative comedy adventures ever brought to the big screen.
Wall-E is both written and directed by Pixar's own Andrew Stanton, one of the first animators hired at the studio, who wrote and directed 1998's A Bug's Life and 2003's Finding Nemo. This is Pixar's tenth feature film. Wall-E lands in theaters everywhere this summer on June 27th - see you in theaters!

"I think this movie will be nice …but I am really waiting for Kung Fu Panda and Madagascar 2 more …" That's a funny joke.

The scale of this movie will make up for some of the animated flops that have plagued these types of films in the past years. Wall-E is will be one of the greatest Pixar films in existence. Oscar material, for best everything! The director seems to be in love with his characters, that makes him really care for the quality of the film in the long run. Given the choice to see either Kung Fu Panda or Wall-E the choice is obivious. Anyother animated movie will not even be able to stand on the same plane of existence. No contest what so ever.

@ shero, #2. you make an awful lot of assumptions in your comments, you assume that orgamics are harder to animate, you assume that the movie is aimed just at kids and you assume that it will be just like I am legend. if you knew anything about animation you would know that whilst yes organics are difficult to animate believably, to animate a robot with a design like Wall-E and make it emotionally engaging to viewers is also very difficult because it is more difficult to look at a robot and reckognise is as alive then to look at a 3d person. sceondly, to say that the movie is aimed at solely kids is preposterous, have you seen any of the 3d animation on daytime tv that is aimed at kids? It's terrible, the characters are very rigid and the animation is chunky at best. Animations by pixar and the like are given the time and love that they need and whilst there may be no blood and guts, very little if any light swearing and nearly never a mention of sex in a pixar movie that doesn't make them any less engaging to adults. A good story trumps any of the 'fun' stuff by far. whilst your criticisms might be valid, you really need to back them up with evidence.

Looks like another typical Pixar flick. Way to go keeping the status quo.
