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!"

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.
