Robotic Luxo Jr. Lamp Is a Must on Every Pixar Fan Desk
Thinkway Toys's Pixar desk accessory/lamp/toy/thingamabob has a Luxo Jr. that moves and illuminates exactly like in the movie. As you can see in the video, you can activate it with a motion sensor and a remote control, a key ring in the shape of the the ball. It's cool for a piece of plastic, but I wish it really was a full-scale robot version of the iconic Luxo lamp that Pixar used in their second short. Hopefully we will have one of those next decade. A flying one. With lasers. And antimatter torpedoes. [Thinkway Toys via Slashfilm]

Remote Controlled "Ultimate Wall-E" Available For Pre-Order at $250
Maybe it was a miscalculation, or perhaps it is Disney trying to capitalize on the success of the film, but the Ultimate Wall-E remote controlled robot is now available for pre-order at $250—about $60 more than originally expected. Not a big deal, though—this toy is so feature-packed, it is almost like having the real thing. [Disney]

Wall-E Animator Tops Everyone Who Ever Wanted to Make a LEGO Wall-E
Were you thinking of building your own Wall-E out of LEGO? Pfft. I mean, no, go ahead. Just don't ever put it next to this model by Angus MacLane, who actually helped animate the film. Because, as good as yours may look, he can always play the "well, the way we do things at Pixar..." card on you. So how does he rate his own performance? More »

Wall-E Review: One of the Best Sci-Fi Movies in Years, Disguised as a Cartoon
Wall-E might be the most sympathetic, lovable robot ever created on film. While R2-D2 was hilarious and endearing, he had the benefit of C3PO to translate for him and a cast of human characters to carry the weight of the story. At the end of the day, R2-D2 was simply comic relief, but his descendant, whose voice was also created by Ben Burtt, is so full of humanity that you feel like your heart might just burst. Simply put, Wall-E is a masterpiece. More »

WALL-E Made From ORIGAM-E
As if yesterday's Iron Man origami wasn't enough to seal artist Brian Chan into our hearts for ever and ever, he's created an even more impressive paper robot masterpiece: an origami WALL-E. To quell rumors started in the comments yesterday, yes, this model is folded from one uncut piece of paper.And if you don't believe that, here's the pattern for you to try for yourself (before failing and just taking everyone's word for it): More »

Wall-e Is Huge Glorious Robot Clusterfrak
Explorer robots, pilot robots, cleaning robots, broken robots. Robots robots robots. Robots everywhere. After drooling over this featurette on Pixar's Wall-e robot cast—with the creative team getting all Jon Iveish with us, explaining how their design follows function—we can only say two things: first, consider us officially excited. And two, we are happy George Lucas is not involved with this movie at all.
