Final WALL-E Poster?
Disney/Pixar Film Comes to Theatres on June 27
Check out what is being called the final poster for Disney/Pixar's WALL-E. Andrew Stanton film comes to theatres June 27th.
You've heard all the praise and plaudits from this writer about how WALL-E is likely going to be the best animated movie produced in 2008. Certainly, it has the biggest buzz surrounding it of any film released this year, with many critics putting it among their list of 'must-see' movies.
The fact that Andrew Stanton of Finding Nemo fame is behind this flick is cause enough for celebration, also the rumour that this will be Pixar's darkest flick doesn't hurt. And for extra coolness points, Peter Gabriel's on the soundtrack.
But it's not just this writer going nuts for this flick. Check out a few other reactions from around Cyberland.
"What can I say about WALL-E that hasn't been said already?" asks a clearly enthused Mike Sampson over at JoBlo.com. "I've said I'm loving it, I can't wait for it, it's gonna be the best thing since Wheaties."
"I feel no hesitation in saying that WALL-E may just end up being Pixar's best film yet," says Quigles from the same site. "Considering that it has The Incredibles, Ratatouille, Toy Story, and Finding Nemo to compete with, that's really saying something."
"Can't wait for this movie," says Merrick over at AICN. "Pixar + cool robots = gold in my book. This hearkens back to the cute robot/wacky computer movies of the 1980s - ahh, bliss."
AICN has special reason to be happy, since they've scored what they believe to be the final poster for WALL-E. And yeah, like everything else that's been associated with this flick so far, it rocks.
WALL-E Final Poster
"From the humans who brought you Finding Nemo," says the tagline at the top of this poster (don't you just love subtle humour?). This one-sheet has got a real outer-space feel to it, mostly blues and blacks.
Once again, our boy WALL-E takes front and center in this poster, waving to his audience while surrounded by an Earthful of garbage. A large white structure, which we know by now is EVE's spaceship, is off to his right. Speaking of EVE, WALL-E's main squeeze is doing a fly-by over on the top left corner.

Fun Fact: Andrew Stanton denies that the design for WALL-E was based on Johnny 5 from the 1986 live-action film Short Circuit.
The robot comedy starred Steve Gutenberg and Ally Sheedy, and followed the adventures of a military robot that was struck by lightning and became self-aware. It spawned a 1988 sequel which is best left undiscussed.
Stanton says he based WALL-E's design on a pair of binoculars he saw at an Oakland A's baseball game, and that he honestly only saw Short Circuit once.
