Yeah, we're all pretty geeky around here -- but in a good way! ;D

Just a random thought that doesn't answer the question but still has to do with the subject. When Wall-E was approaching the Axiom, I remember thinking how weird it would be to see live action superimposed in animation. I didn't think the people on the Axiom would be animated fat people. I thought they would be the same live action as you see in the Axiom advertisement in the beginning of the film. So I just remember wondering how that was gonna work.

I remember when I heard there was going to be Live Action in Wall-E, my heart sank a little bit. I had heard that Fred Willard was playing the President of BNL, and so I thought that meant he would be a single live action character controlling a world full of animated people, and I thought that was strange.
I was pleasantly surprised that Live Action was put to such a clever use.

I think the live action bits worked surprisingly well, especially when you see the line of captains and you see how they gradually become more cartoonish. I love how we get a representation of what "normal" humans are supposed to like with Shelby Forthright and the Axiom promo. So many critics have said that what impressed them most was how realistic the animation was. Well, technically, all of the humans in the film would have been completely realistic had they not gone onto the Axiom. It's good that the Axiom humans look so obviously cartoonish rather than having the same realistic-animated treatment the rest of the film has, because it shows just how far they've drifted from their former humanity.
