I'm just interested in knowing what characters in other movies, literature, etc., remind you of Wall-E and Eve and all the other characters from this beloved film. Let's just start making a list.
I wasn't sure whether I should make a topic like this for each character, or just this one for all the characters. Let me know what you think.

I don't know why, but M-O kinda reminds me of Jerry Seinfeld (the character, not the actual person), and WALL-E is a bit like Kramer...  Again, don't ask me why, or how I started making comparisons between Seinfeld and WALL-E, but there ya go. |

Two obvious choices, to get them out of the way:
E.T. - His curiosity.
Johnny 5 - Robot with feeling.

Wow . . . I'm having a hard time with this one because every character I think of sort of demeans WALL-E . . . he really is one of a kind . . .

For now, Milo Thatch from Atlantis, but even then, it's a far stretch. Particularly though because a lot of the humanized art in Deviant Art portrays Wall-E looking a lot like Milo... Ofcourse, that would make Eve, Kida...  |

EVE reminds me a lot of Samus Aran from the Metroid video games.
They're both kickass, independent, heavily-armored ladies with blaster cannons who are sent by the government on a mission to a derelict planet. The difference is that EVE is a robot while Samus is a human.

Oh, EVE I can think of a million (okay, I mean a bunch) other characters like her . . . WALL-E's got me stumped at the moment though . . .

I've got a couple more. Appearance-wise, WALL-E also looks a bit like a robot version of Woody Allen. Personality-wise, a bit like the Tramp from City Lights (or any Charlie Chaplin movie).

actually, the comparison has been made a member of worth1000.com (DeeWhite) to will smith's character  *note, i did not create the above poster i am only including a copy to illustrate the point that i agree with* will smith's character is driven, despite loneliness to find a cure for the virus that caused humanity's doom, wall-e , watched the same movies over and over, and eventually came across a woman, wall-e is a robot that also continues on a mission to save humanity after everyone else has given up thanks again to deewhite for creating such an ingenious poster |

Yeah, I've heard the comparison before, and it somewhat holds water. I think the key difference may be WALL-E's optimize and lack of need to go to quite as many extremes in order to survive, but I can see where people are coming from when making said comparisons.

Of all the silent film stars, he probably reminds me most of Buster Keaton . . . not as much like Charlie Chaplin or Harold Lloyd though. Even the Buster Keaton-type character doesn't do WALL-E justice though. Keaton played beat-down characters a lot and WALL-E doesn't strike me as being "beaten down" in his spirit. I think the closest Keaton character I've seen is the one he plays in "The Cameraman" . . . especially his fascination with the love interest.

 How about this one? I know it is a strange reference, having nothing in common besides the look. Casper just have an EVE look... |
