I'm generally of the opinion that everything Pixar touches turns to (shockingly well-animated) gold, so I'm excited that a full trailer has been released for Wall-E, the studio's upcoming release. The film, from Finding Nemo director Andrew Stanton, follows a robot named Wall-E who's been left in a post-apocalyptic world for 700 years, sorting trash all alone. Alone, that is, until a probe sent to check on Earth brings him Eve, a darling girl robot with whom he falls in love.
At first, I was a little worried about Wall-E; the concept for the movie was developed around the time of Toy Story, and I thought the lonely-robot idea was showing its age. But I've steadily gotten more confident about it, first because of this ingenious Web site for Buy n Large, the company that owns everything in the future, and now because of the trailer. There's very little dialogue in the movie — Wall-E just makes mechanical noises — and I'm curious to see how that holds up over a full feature, but if anyone can do it, Pixar can.
Plus, this trailer is worth a look just for the adorable bit with Wall-E and Pixar's Luxo Jr. mascot at the start. The movie is out in June 2008, and to watch the trailer, just read more.

He looks like a baby Johnny 5 from Short Circuit.
"Los Lobos kick your ass; Los Lobos kick your face; Los Lobos kick you balls into outer space!"
Oh Short Circuit. So great.
1I'm not sure how I feel about this...
2I was going to say the same thing, Liz R. Johnny Five crossed with E.T.
3Loved the opening bit, but like you, Buzz, wonder how Wall-E's mechanical noises will hold up through a full length feature.
4I can't wait to watch it. I just love the way he says Woaaaaall-e! lol
5I think it's too cute! Can't wait for it to come out!
