That's the first thing I thought, too... Mars rover, or something.
Hmm, another vehicle, eh? He really doesn't look like much; he'll have to have one heck of an awesome personality to be relatable. That was just my initial reaction, of course... I know Pixar is capable of pulling it off. Question is... will they?
First thing I thought of was "Old B.O.B.," from The Black Hole ..
.. I'm not sure that's a good thing ..
.. but Pixar always seems to have a knack for making me 'doubtful' with the early tastes & teasers, and then 'blowing me away' with the finished product .. so I will wait-and-see ..
Wowee! The first screenshot, I think I may pass out. And after reading that letter to the shareholders I think we have some real gems from Disney in the pipeline.
Interesting - usually the first images Pixar releases for their movies are bright, colorful and happy...This one is a bit more dark and depressing looking - which I love. The robot is adorable, and he looks different than the Pixar norm as well.
