WALL-E

Does he do it without dialogue?

Wow -- that was very heartwarming and inspirational, ShyViolet. What an awesome and powerfully moving speech. I never knew how hard Mr. Jobs had it in the beginning; it's incredible to see how far he's come in all these years of hard working. "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish." -- that just might become my new motto.

And the moral of this story is: That's right, kids. You too can become a multi-millionare by starting out in exchanging coke bottles for coins.

Thanks for the link, Vi!

Ben - Pff -- ha! Good one.

As for WALL-E: I sincerely hope that it will be mostly -- if not entirely -- dialogue free. Pixar wouldn't do it if they didn't think they could do it, so I have complete faith in them if they decide to do the film without any dialogue. But we'll see.... The film is still very young.

No prob Mitch! My pleasure.

He truly is a "self-made man".

I was talking WALL-E up to someone this morning and the more I told them, the more excited I became.

I think this could be seriously cool. And apart from the films surrounding its release date, I have good hopes for Rataouille if it can withstand the competition.

Pixar certainly has an interesting slate and hopefully can overcome the Cars blip and make good on their $7b investment.

Thanks for posting that video, Vi!

I had read Jobs' speech, but I had never actually seen him give it.

If Wall-E doesn't contain any dialogue, I wonder how - or if - John Ratzenberger will have a role in the film. Should the characters "speak" through beeps and such, perhaps his role will simply consist of making similar noises. Or maybe Ratzenberger will be a narrator.

Yes, we can't have a Pixar film without John. It simply isn't done!

Never you worry, Josh. They will find a role for him, I just know it!

They should make a robot or alien look like John Ratzenberger.

That'd be weird.

I'm sure the "bleeps" will be human-orientated for emotion. No reason JR couldn't be a "voice" in this.

Oh, like R2-D2? "Low beep": sad

"High Squeaks"--excited, indignant

Over at the Pixar Planet forums a poster named ROBONICS95 says this about WALL-E

I'm going to start typing WALT DISNEY FEATURE ANIMATION in capitals I think.

And I'm going to write:
