Fun Friday: Wall-E Edition


Everyone in THQ QA got to see Wall-E today as after successfully getting the game to retail on like every platform known to man, including the 2600. The movie was fan-freaking-tastic. I loved every moment. Andrew Stanton is a genius in my mind, and while Finding Nemo is a tough act to follow, he absolutely crafted a beautiful film. There is minimal dialogue, so the animators deserve a tremendous amount of credit for bringing these robots to life. Every movement is filled with expression that require no words, even in Eve, who's only facial expressions come from her eyes.

Things to watch out for include: the Mac startup sound effect (even though I prefer PC, I still loved this), Pong, and John Ratzenberger's voice, of course.
