WALL-E is going to be "voiced" by Ben Burtt, the man who provided the famous beeping sounds emanating from none other than R2-D2 in all six Star Wars films.

that is all it will take to get my hubby there!

Awesome, Ben Burtt, just another reason to find out more. I honestly don't think much of it, I'm very picky about robots, but the character is so cute so I'm not going to rule it out just yet.

How can anybody? We know nothing about the film as of now the only trailer out is Disney's usual undetailed trailer that they do when the movie has ages before release.

This movie looks cute! I already love the robot! I just might go and watch this! Its making me curious!

A promotional website for this film went live today. At first glance, it appears to have little to do with the film, but just click on robots and things should become somewhat clearer.

that was a little odd....but the robots are cute

[SpellWovenNight]

I know the names for the robots are similar to WALL E's but they don't ever mention the movie so how is it supposed to promote the movie if people don't even know about it?

My lord, have I really been living that far under this rock of mine? I have'nt heard one thing about this :S
And at that note, I'm off to watch the trailer lmao.

Awwwww. It looks good.. Spose I shouldnt really base it all on just seeing the one trailer though :/ I can't believe we have to wait a whole year for it still

I think that they are going to reveal more about this movie as we get closer. Pixar tends to reveal little pieces here and there leading up to the release of the film. I like the site because I think it's subtly hinting at the increasing laziness of humanity and letting someone else take care of everything you need.

Here's a synopsis of the movie as revealed at Comic-Con this past weekend. This may help bring the Buy N Large website in to a little bit clearer focus.

Disney Unveils WALL•E

The second half of the Disney panel featured Pixar's new film WALL•E. But before that was the premiere of the National Treasure: Book of Secrets trailer. It revealed a little more about the plot.

Taking part in the panel was director Andrew Stanton. He showed a new Pixar logo featuring WALL•E coming out and helping Luxo in the logo. Stanton started out by showing an industrial commercial featuring the WALL•E robots and describing his functions. It's by the company "Buy N Large" and showed a web address for the company, BuyNLarge.com, which is now live.

Andrew then discussed the plot while concept art scrolled by. In the future, humans have completely trashed the planet with rampant commercialism. They then leave the planet on space liners while robots are left behind to clean up the planet. Unfortunately, 700 years go by and they never return. Eventually one robot, WALL•E, develops a personality. As he roams the planet, he eventually finds a way to get off the planet. He then finds the last remaining space liner containing the 'lost tribe' of humans. However, years in space with all their needs covered by robots have made them literal couch potatoes. They are huge, helpless blobs. Along the way WALL•E also meets and falls in love with another robot named Eve. WALL•E attempts to woo her, but his efforts just might be what ends up restoring the human race to its former glory.

Next up, Stanton introduced "Star Wars" veteran Ben Burtt, who is doing sound design on the film. He played samples of the various robots sound effects then showed animation samples of the robots. We saw WALL•E, Eve, a sidekick hygienic droid named M-O, and Auto who is the auto pilot of the space liner. Burtt revealed that Eve is a probe droid that is held together by magnetic fields. She also features a few special functions and weapons. M-O is an obliterator droid that rolls around on a track ball.

The audience then got to be the first to see footage from the film. We see WALL•E, back on Earth, preparing for another day at work. He's followed by his pet cockroach as he leaves his makeshift house. As he sorts through the human's garbage, he picks out objects that interest him – a bra, a jewelry box, a rubber ducky, and other things. However, his day is interrupted when he sees a big red dot from a laser light. He follows it but doesn't realize what it is. However, he soon discovers that it's a landing guide for a ship... that lands right on top of him. WALL•E escapes by digging underground, then pops up just in time to see what emerges from the ship. Unfortunately, the clip ended before we got to see just what that was.

The panel then turned to Q&A. Stanton confirmed that there is a live action element involved and humans will be shown in some degree. Ben Burtt wasn't sure if he'd be working on Indiana Jones 4 since the WALL•E schedule was going to overlap with its schedule. WALL•E is his first priority. Thomas Newman, the composer for Finding Nemo, is doing the score.

That concluded the WALL•E panel. It certainly looks like another imaginative, fun film from Disney and Pixar. It also looks like Ben Burtt's going to win another Academy Award for sound design.

Oh thats a cute plot, and I get it Eve, and Wall.E is the Adam figure and they both have to restart the human race, thats a cute little plot for a movie I can't wait.

I think that they are going to reveal more about this movie as we get closer. Pixar tends to reveal little pieces here and there leading up to the release of the film. I like the site because I think it's subtly hinting at the increasing laziness of humanity and letting someone else take care of everything you need.

Yeah Pixar always does that when a movie has a very long time before release they begin with really short undetailed trailers so that they get you wondering and wanting to find out more and thats how they get you interested and led to view it however its also a great way to mislead the viewers because the one they did for Ratatouille really turned me off and made the movie look uninteresting to me but then when they brought out the more detailed commercials I started liking the looks of it.

[Briar Rose's Dark Knight]

I know what you mean. I used to wonder about when Pixar's run of making good movies would end because the early previews left me wondering. Now I've reached a point where I just get excited about what the next Pixar film because I can't wait to see what they've come up with now.

[Shenzi]

I totally agree with you there because all the misleading first trailers all turned out to be good films in the end.
