Wall.e

Whats Up Apple Fans... i have just watched WALL-E last night with my wife.. and i loved it... i dont know if anyone of you has watched it yet... but trust me, APPLE FANS everywhere are loving it... hahahhahaha

i will tell u why... for those who havn't noticed and dont know...

1st.... EVE "the futuristic robot that WALL.E falls in love with"...was designed by Jonathan Ive, the Designer of the iPod and iMacs....

2nd.... i dont know if u have noticed but WALL.E was actually using a Video iPod on earth to view his fav. Musical movie and Applied a large Magnifying glass on it to Magnify the screen size... smart little bugger :P

3rd... WALL.E stays functional by recharging his battery through solar power... cute but the best part is!!!! when he recharges and the battery is full... Guess what sound he makes?????
he makes the famous Mac Start up sound that our Macs make when u first start them up... i got guise bumps when i first heard it...lol

4rth... if u look carefully under EVE's neck... her cool body under the neck has the famous twirling circle that our Macs make when u frist switch on the computer... u know the one under the Apple logo at the start up

5th... there is also an Apple II somewhere in the movie among all the Junk...lol

6th... Jonathen Ive did a great Job in Designing EVE... he is so skill full... oooooo the lights that EVE chest Makes when she scans the Junk are very simmiler to our Macs.... like the Battery indicator and the Green iSight light that appears under the Metalic body of the Macbook Pro....

so u can see how Pixar loves adding Apple stuff in there Movies dont u just love Pixar :P and yes i know Steve Jobs was the CEO of Pixar :P and still has loads and loads of shares :P

P.S if anyone else finds something Appley please do share... i might of forgot something... but those are the things i saw and heard during the movie

I've heard cool things about this movie... HOWEVER the look of the robot just reminds me too much of Johnny 5 ( you remember those movies from the 80's) and I seriously think Pixar ripped them off.

Still haven't seen it.
I'm a big Pixar fan.

Blue, a friend of mine made the same connection.
I guess there is similarity.
If you have a complain you can log it here.

I think their UK office is a good place to start.

Yes Ultrablue u are very right... they did take most of the features of Johnny 5, but made him look so much cuter well, EVE was creative but WALL.E although he was un-original they still did a great job in making him better than Johnny 5 so u still have to give them props for there good job... no one can be 100% creative in everything they do... we humans tend to learn from History and add a bit more to each time.. therefore there is never anything wrong to bring somthing from our past and make it better in the future

I think Wall-E is a tribute to "John-E".
The film is bursting with tributes to many sci fi films, including 2001, aliens, star trek, battlestar.
