urm...i think thats the coolest thing i've ever seen! i can't believe, i thought the cardboard one in the cinemas with cool :)

i didn't think it was posible to top Jonny number 5. but i think wall-e just kicked his arse... actually how cool would that be to see jonny 5 and wall-e getting down a dirty.

This is so cool!

Victor, can I ask you, were you one of the Pixar animators who helped with the design of the 'Ultimate WALL-E', the other "real" WALL-E? Thanks, just curious.

mb1000, I had nothing to do with either. I know tha t Warren Trezevant, one of our animators, was heavily involved with the animatronic one in this clip.

Hey, can I ask you, would you happen to know the date of the WALL-E premiere. I've been trying to find that out for the blog for a while now. Thanks again.

Haha, I know the date the movie is released in theatres! (Have you seen my blog? :) I'm asking about the world premiere, like in Hollywood or wherever.

Hey Victor, I'm not sure if you can answer this or not, but I was wondering what Pixar thinks of the Academy of Art University in San Fran? If not what do you think about it? I'm a prospective student planning on attending that school next year for my Computer Animation and Visual Effects degree and just trying to see if I made the right choice. Thanks

I saw this earlier. I read somewhere that they'll have the Wall-E at Disneyland or DCA for some period this summer. I hope I'll get to see it, since I missed the "Muppet Mobile Labs" and "Lucy the Dinosaur" when they were in SoCal.
