WALL-E Final Trailer
Disney/Pixar Movie Directed by Andrew Stanton
Check out the kick-ass final trailer for Disney/Pixar's WALL-E. Andrew Stanton film comes to theatres on June 27th.
Any day that starts with a Pixar trailer is a good day, and today is especially good because it features the final trailer for Andrew Stanton's upcoming movie WALL-E. And, quite simply, it rocks.
Final WALL-E Trailer Another Score For Pixar
Pixar took on the promo duties for WALL-E after they felt Disney had dropped the ball with Ratatouille, and for this trailer they've broken with their usual tradition and added several scenes from the upcoming flick. Ditching Michael Kamen's Brazil music in the previous trailers for a more 2001 vibe, the 30-second spot shows a bit more of the story.
What's WALL-E about? The titular robot has spent the past 700 years cleaning Earth after humans turned it into a gigantic garbage dump. However, WALL-E has developed some quirks in his time alone on Earth – such as a personality. A comely robot named Eve arrives to check out the planet, and falls in love with WALL-E after nearly taking him out with a laser blast. However, when Eve is summoned to report back to her human masters, WALL-E tags along. Much mayhem and mirth, with a side order of pathos, ensue.
Many of the sequences will be familiar from previous trailers: WALL-E wearing a bra, getting hit in the eye with a rubber ball, and fighting a fire extinguisher. But the viewer also gets to see more of WALL-E's trip into space, and our robot hero outwitting a pudgy Captain (voice of Jeff Garlin) and his android minions. And that fire extinguisher makes a brilliant comeback later on in the movie.
Right now, WALL-E is looking like the best animated movie to come out this year so far. As Ben Barma over at JoBlo.com said about it, "this experimental movie looks like a home run. But I don’t think Pixar hit it out of the park. I think they crushed the ball into an entirely different galaxy."
WALL-E Grand Experiment for Pixar, Andrew Stanton
Director Andrew Stanton is rapidly becoming the 'fantastic voyage' director in the Pixar stable. His first film, 2003's Finding Nemo, followed a fatherly clownfish as he scoured the ocean depths for his son. Despite then-Disney CEO Michael Eisner hoping the flick would suck wind in theatres, it ended up becoming Pixar's most beloved and financially successful movie.
The success of Finding Nemo gave Stanton the clout he needed to go all-out with WALL-E. The sheer fact that there's absolutely no dialogue for the first 1/3 of the movie puts this flick in another realm. Not only that, early reviews have suggested that this is the darkest film in Pixar's catalogue so far, with its environmental message and casting the bumbling BuyNLarge Corporation as the villain of this flick.
