its like a Mini Me version of number 5... i am surprised they got
away with the design..and no one complained about copyright
infringement... the head/face is identical. they must have gotten
some kind of permission.

Hi All,
I know it's not just me. Wall-E is a dead copy of Number 5 from Short
Circuit (1973?).
I saw the filmmaker and clips at Wondercon SF and someone asked him
about the
similarity to Short Circuit. He claimed ignorance of the other
film, not
surprising since he said he was trying to evoke the great science
fiction films
of the past (his youth), i.e. Blade Runner, 2001, Star Wars, etc.
