BURN-E Short to be on DVD

Upcoming Pixar is reporting a title for the extra short film that is to be included on the WALL-E DVD/Blu-ray (besides Presto, of course): BURN-E.

The unconfirmed tip came from a Pixar Planet member who claims to be part of the WALL-E orchestra team, which is said to have also just recently finished recording the music of BURN-E.

As can be expected, no details are yet available on the short, except that it will (duh!) follow a robot named BURN-E. However, speaking earlier this week with Peter Sciretta of /Film, Andrew Stanton did say that the WALL-E DVD short would indeed have a sci-fi theme and be "very connected" to WALL-E's story.

I will be seeking comment from Pixar Publicity on this story as soon as possible. Stay tuned...

was burn-e showed in the movie at all? or is he a completely new character?

[MidgardDragon]

Here we go. He was shown in the movie when WALL-E and EVE fly back inside the shape after their Space Dance. He's the welder bot that got trapped outside.

[Chimera]

Haha, cool. I thought that little dude was funny.

[Swan]

I can't wait to see this.

I can't wait for the DVD.

Gah!

[Bartle]

Didn't he have a bigger part in the previews?

[MidgardDragon]

I know what ya mean Swan. I can't find any info on the release date, but I'm betting they're gonna save it for Christmas.

aww, that cute little guy?! hooray!

xmas does make sense for them to release the dvd for the sole purpose of money. its a long wait.

That's Burn•E? I wouldn't be surprised if the short was about him just messin around in space after he got locked out.

"-E" means "Earth Class", right? So, my first question is what's he doing on the Axiom?

[MidgardDragon]

I think maybe in this case they likely just used a name with no real acronym meaning (similar to VAQ-M and PR-T) but rather just something that sounded like a name and evoked what his job is at the same time.

I'm just a geek for consistency . . .

But, hey, if they want to break every "rule" just to give us another taste of the WALL-E world, I for one am NOT complaining.

[Viva la Vida]

I'm very interested in seeing how exactly he ties into the main story.

It Was Funny Seeing Him Get Trapped Outside In Space In The Movie, It Could Be Funny.
