Pixar has released a brand new featurette for the upcoming “Wall-E” movie, showing the crew praising director Andrew Stanton (Finding Nemo) for being a big nerd.
The year is 2700, and planet Earth has long been uninhabitable. For hundreds of years, Wall-E (Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class) has been taking out the trash, and collecting precious knick-knacks in order to stave off the boredom of his dreary routine. Little does Wall-E realize that he has recently stumbled onto a secret that could save planet Earth, and once again make the ravaged planet safe for all humankind. When highly advanced search robot Eve makes friends with Wall-E and realizes the value of his remarkable discovery, she excitedly races back to let the humans know that there’s hope for their home planet after all. But after centuries alone in space, Wall-E can’t stand the thought of losing the only friend he’s ever known, and eagerly follows her into the deepest reaches of space on the adventure of a lifetime. Along the way, the friendly trash-collecting robot who has always known what he was made for gradually begins to understand what he was meant for.
“Wall-E” arrives on Earth this summer, June 27th, 2008.
