Have you heard all the rumors about how friggin WEIRD the next Pixar movie is going to be? Weird good, of course. Just look at the mind-bendy marketing they're doing for it. And IMDb says that Ben Burtt -- the guy who composed R2D2's beeps -- will be one of the film's voice actors? What does that even mean?
Anyway, all of our questions will surely be answered tomorrow at 4pm. According Upcoming Pixar, Wall-E's new teaser trailer goes live tomorrow afternoon. The bad news: it's on this popup-laden website that looks like the hideous inbred child of MySpace and 1Up. But Victor Navone's blog says that it'll be also available tomorrow on Yahoo (provided the company's still in business at that point). And considering that Disney's behind the marketing push, we have a feeling that it'll be hard NOT to see ads for the film. Fun!

Hello mattymatt, I was at a Pixar presentation for this movie at Comic Con. The movie will have no dialogue, just beeps, blips, whistles, and other sound effects. The basic premise of the story is that Earth has been filled with garbage (as a result of rampant consumerism) and mankind flees to the stars. Left behind are millions of robots whose sole task is to rid the Earth of the garbage to make the Earth habitable for human life once again.
All the robots eventually malfunction, except for Wall-E, a small trash compactor unit, who over the years carries on with his Sisyphean task and unexpectedly develops a distinct personality. The humans send a probe droid named Eve to check in on the progress of the cleanup and Wall-E "falls in love" with her. While the story is about Wall-E and Eve, the artist rendition of humans in the future is funny- basically they look like Flubber.
Not sure how the movie will work without dialogue, I can easily see myself and others falling asleep halfway into the movie.
No dialogue? Seriously? That's pretty ballsy.
The title reminds me of Wall-E-Weasel's from the Simpsons, though. "We cram fun down your throat!"
