Is there any consensus on what the proper WP page name should be? Over the months it has been W.A.L.-E., WALL-E, WAL-E, WALL -E, and now WALL• E. SpikeJones 13:32, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
Lets use Disney's "WALL• E"! Just look at the logo and that's how you spell it! User:Pixar is 03:12, 17 April 2007
Uh, I'm confused... I'm on a MacBook, and I'm pressing shift, alt, and Q, and this is what I get: Œ. Is there something wrong with my computer? I'm serious. Could someone help me out? One Fried Egg 16:31, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
I just moved the article to this title: WALL·E . This is the correct title, which is being used by imdb (copypasted from there), and by the official webpage aswell. -- Kjidel ( talk) 12:30, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
I disagree with this "official" usage of the · in the name... Although it may appear that way on the official website, if you look around, it's just used as a stylized hyphen. Note that the release date is shown as "6·27·08" and the movie is being made by "Disney·Pixar". Also, if you look in your browser, when you go to the official website, the title is "WALL-E: Official Site". There's also the issues when using a bullet as the difference between "·" and "•" - that's another redirect we need to implement? And as far as official, Disney's own internal documents are using a hyphen ( [1] - See Page 22). The Buy-N-Large mock website (made by Disney/Pixar) is also showing the names of their "other robots" using hyphens (within the text of the articles, although using a bullet as a stylized hyphen at the top of the page when used as a logo). As long as Wikipedia has issues with double-redirects and there is in fact no "·" key on the keyboard, I think the article should be "WALL-E". Redirects are there to help people who may have mistyped the name of an article, they shouldn't be required, and I think there's enough evidence to be shown that the bullet is used as a stylized hyphen. — Fumo7887 ( talk • contribs) 17:17, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
I've added Toy Story 3 as the Pixar successor to this film, in the succession box. M. Collins 14:56, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
Well take it out because up is the successor.
I have added the link to JHM that talks about the plot to WALL-E. Should I keep it there? I see that previous additions have been deleted because JHM is a blog, but couldn't this be incorperated into the article? -- Bobthemonkey3 16:42, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
OR you could just put it under rumored plot.
Which one should we use and why? jj 00:34, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
Come on lets use the real "WALL• E" logo! User:Pixar is 03:12, 17 April 2007
Where exactly does it say that Greg Kinnear will be playing WALL-E? I've already tried to use Google (and Google News) to verify this, but I still didn't find any articles/websites confirming this. I didn't see it in any of the references or external links either. Did I overlook something? S@lo 03:56, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
I have not heard anything about Greg Kinnear being in the film, but I have heard the Fred Willard will right here: http://jimhillmedia.com/blogs/jim_hill/archive/2007/02/27/toon-tuesday-again.aspx don't know if it's true though. Pixar is 04:53, 19 March 2007
The exact arrangement in that trailer is from Michael Kamen's score for BRAZIL, specifically when we first see the offices where Sam Lowry works. It's an instrumental arrangement that uses typewriters as part of the orchestration, and that's hardly the normal version of the song.
There was a game called Vectorman for the Sega Genesis that had a similar plot (Earth evacuated so that robots can clean it up). I think it's worth including somewhere in the article, but I'm not sure where it's most appropriate (trivia, plot, etc.). Any suggestions? Omatic 10:19, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
Of course
god yes..
yes...add it to the main page for WALL-E its obviously connected to the movie
Unless Ben Burtt is actually speaking as WALL-E, he shouldn't be listed as "voice." — tregoweth ( talk) 00:21, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
From the eyes/head appendage to the triangular tracks he uses for movement, I seem to think that Wall-E bears a stricking resemblence to Johnny-5 from Short Circuit. Was this an intended homage from Pixar, or blatant plagarism?
I went to a pre-screeing in Portland, OR of the movie. I would hope to add the info I know to a section about "Plot" Here is a partial overview (I will add more tommorow): Wall-e and eve go aboard a spaceship when eve detects plant life. Everybody aboard the cruise which is having a "700th" anniversary and is extremely obese —Preceding unsigned comment added by Trent12345409 ( talk • contribs) 05:17, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
I recently discovered a Wall-E teaser trailer that differs significantly from the original (that is, the one I saw before the theatrical release of "Ratatouille"). In this one, Wall-E interacts with Luxo during the Pixar opening animation, and replaces a burnt-out light bulb for him. It wasn't mentioned in the article (at least not in the "Marketing" section), and so far I've only found it on Yahoo Movies. It's available in HD up to 1080p. Here's the link: [2] PaparazziPulse 19:29, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
Can someone fix the redirect Wall E? Currently it goes to another WALL·E direct, WALL-E, which makes the process redundant. I can't figure out how to do it myself. - Throw ( talk) 16:57, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
There is an empty heading labeled "Likeness". I anyone writing anything there, or should it be deleted? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.99.109.247 ( talk) 23:19, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
Maybe he looks like Johnie V - he also reminds me of a little 3D Robot that was used in a Microsoft Softimage Intro from when they first touted the software if anyones' interested —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.244.43.77 ( talk) 11:50, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
Most things I've seen say the release date is June 27 or 28. I'm pretty sure the movie isn't premiering tomorrow. 71.11.215.216 ( talk) 03:15, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
I say we should add the list of cast, I mean we need to get more orgenized. Anonymous person 50 ( talk) 14:52, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
I thought Wall•E' name was always spelled with a "•", and not just promoted that way. It's just easier to spell it with a hyphen (-). Should it be changed to Wall•E in the article? -- Chris Brack :P 01:44, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/SPARTAN-984 is my homebase.
I can suggest that just one simple look at www.buynlarge.com that the company Buy 'n' Large rules the planet.
Just to state it for those not smart enough to understand "rampant unchecked consumerism" as a company ruling the planet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.13.72.124 ( talk) 19:09, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
Just a little interesting thing I noticed. The story to this movie seems a lot like that of an old Sega Genesis game called Vectorman, in the sense that the humans have left earth and left robots there to clean up while they're gone, and eventually one robot is left capable of doing his job. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sparx-1 ( talk • contribs) 06:38, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
"There they discover AUTO's assistant about to destroy the plant by launching it into space in a pod programmed to self destruct" I thought the self destruct was activated because wall-e pressed all of the buttons on the console. The assistant just wanted to send the plant back to earth. Can anyone back me up on this? -- Maxhawkins ( talk) 16:48, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
That is totally wrong. The sound Wall-E makes when he is fully charged is obviously a Mac start-up chime, not an Apple IIe chime. Proof is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvixWtrraZE That is a start-up beep from a IIe. The referenced link is wrong. Lilmul123 ( talk) 21:02, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
