Wall-E Meets Peter Gabriel

You may not want to shock the monkey, but you could find yourself dancing with the cute robot. Peter Gabriel is doing some music for the soundtrack of Wall-E, Pixar’s new robot movie. He’s creating a couple of new tunes for the occasion, plus putting “some glue” on things he’s come up with previously. In…

Wall-E Gets Friendly With A Vacuum Cleaner

Disney’s Wall-E wasn’t above making an appearance at the Superbowl, although he didn’t show off any new footage from his upcoming feature film like Iron Man did. Instead this commercial offered a meta-Pixar reference as Buzz Lightyear and Woody from Toy Story chow down on some popcorn and talk about Disney’s cuddly robot. Meanwhile, Wall-E…

Become A 700-Year-Old Trash Robot

You can visit the desolate world of Wall-E, this summer’s animated movie about a trash-compacting robot, in an upcoming xBox game. Judging from these early screen shots, it looks like the Wall-E game may do too good a job of capturing the robot’s loneliness and the toll of time on his robotic circuits. You’ll be…

Disney Goes Blu-ray 1.1 With Sleeping Beauty, Finding Nemo

Disney just announced some Blu profile 1.1 firsts for them: that Sleeping Beauty will start its Platinum Edition Blu-ray Disc collecting in Fall 2008 (with special features like a Virtual Castle and interactive games) with 7.1 surround sound.

Retro-Futurist Postcards for Wall-E

Comic book artist extraordinaire Eric Tan created these 1950s style postcards as promotional materials for Wall-E, Disney/Pixar’s new wacky robot adventure. I love how they perfectly illustrate a conflict that promises to be key in this flick: the ultra-leisure society of the humans versus the junkyard-dwelling garbage robots who do nothing but scut work. https://gizmodo.com/wacky-robots-conquer-all-338085…

The $60 million dollar film features astronaut Captain Chuck Baker landing on a planet filled with 1950s-era aliens who live in complete fear of aliens, namely Chuck himself. Gallery of cute aliens after the jump. This…

Mllamp Brings Luxo Jr. to Life

Kitchen Budapest’s Mllamp project is out to give everyday items the ability to simulate emotions. As you can see from the video, a pair of lamps have been rigged to mimic human emotions. What those human emotions are, we’re not sure. We just know that these lamps totally remind us of Pixar’s mascot, Luxo Jr.…

Second Wall-E Trailer Hits The Internet

The second trailer for Pixar’s Wall-E hit the French video site Allocine late last Friday (it officially came out today at 8 p.m. EDT) and the movie looks like it will be nothing short of awesome. While I could have done without Cars, and thought Finding Nemo was overrated, I absolutely loved Toy Story, Ratatouille…

Cars, the TV Set

Now that the Disney Pixar movie Cars has finally parked in theaters all over the world, leave it to the inspired cuteness of Japanese marketers to bring you Cars, the TV Set. It’s a TV/DVD player combination, where even the remote control plays along, looking like a key fob. It looks like there’s also some…
