Brand New ‘Wall-E’ Pictures

There are some great shots from the movie. Thanks to PixarPlanet, we now have new photos for you to check out for yourself. Here is what Andrew Stanton had to say about the origins of the little robot: “‘Wall-E’ began life as something that Pete Doctor [director of Monsters, Inc.] and I were throwing around at a lunch in 1995 with John Lasseter and Joe Ranft [Pixar’s late, great story guru]. This amazing little robot character idea dropped into our laps and we wanted to do something with it. It was one of the first characters we knew people could get invested in for a whole film. Pete took it and developed it for a couple of months, but he was having real trouble coming up with an idea. We figured it should be a love story, but he wasn’t sure what that should be. Also, we’d had the idea that Wall-E should communicate using just machine sounds, with almost no spoken dialogue. You’ve got to remember that, at the time, ‘Toy Story’ hadn’t even come out and we knew that no one would give us the money to make a film like that! It was a real challenge. Eventually Pete went off to work on what became ‘Monster, Inc.’ and ‘Wall-E’ sat on the shelf for a long time.” The new movie is scheduled to hit theaters on June 27th, 2008.   …removed…
