Tue, 08 Jul 2008 05:33:43 +0000 http://www.slashfilm.com/?p=12645#comment-420672 It's a sad commentary on originality (and Pixar} that the Wall-E characters were lifted from the Movie "Short Circuit" by John Badham. Even a white girl robot is encountered by Johnny 5 (#5) in S.C. While it seems common these days to remake older films, I wonder if any tribute is given to Short Circuit in Wall-E's credits.

It must feel good to believe in a film (and feature it on the site) when that film proves to come through in every way. Just want to add to your praise of the music and score - the Peter Gabriel song makes for a fine coda. I think it could be argued that they should have returned to something from Hello Dolly or similar, but the Gabriel song definitely leaves an optimism in the future. Best song I've heard out of him in some time. hey, Peter-
