Yeah it looks like Johnny 5 but they said their inspiration came from a set of binoculars i.e. Toy Story

In fact, I noticed it from the very first trailer months ago and was surprised Pixar wasn't more original. The movie itself is a winner, though.

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. Michael, Cinecityposters </HTML> Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
