NAN-E

[bkim]

As Rodney Dangerfield might say, this character don't get no respect. This is the character responsible for the following lines:

"A is for Axiom, your home sweet home. B is for BuyNLarge, your very best friend."

"Remain calm. Remain calm."

Yeah, this is perhaps the most invisible character on this forum, so I thought I would make history right here and now by mentioning NAN-E . As her name suggests, NAN-E is the babysitter in charge of "child development" aboard the Axiom, ha. It's difficult to tell from this picture, but "NAN-E" can be seen printed on the side of this bot at this moment in the film, and that's how I know this is a legit characer :



So please, indulge me. I know you just can't wait to share your thoughts about this character.

I wonder how the rest of her "alphabet" went.

"C is for 'Charge it!'" (Okay, that one was lame but I'm writing this at 3:30 in the morning with a flu fever . . . )

One thing . . . does anyone remember on the old BNL site the character that was basically a big baby basinette with arms? (Kind of creepy actually.) I thought that one was named NAN-E too. Maybe there are various models of NAN-Es.

C is for CUPCAKE IN A CUP!! I dunno.

Oh, yeah . . . Carl-E aces me again!

I do actually. I think it was called NAN-E also!


I was going to come up with some sort of satire about NAN-E with some kind of Mary Poppins reference in this post, but I can't think of anything right now

I thought NAN-E was one of the conflicts of the movie. Kids were being raised into thinking that this life was normal. Brainwashing, basically.

Anyway, I think C would be for Captain...your loyal pilot!

[hopper]

my mom pointed this one out actually, just how detched the process of raising babies was, leaving it to the robots instead of the humans even nurturing the young

[vanessajoyce]

Yes, that's what I thought too, hopper. I mean if these people are too lazy to play real golf, they couldn't be interested in being parents which is a really hard job.

D is for...Directive!

We should make this a game!

[vanessajoyce]

Let's start a new thread . . . would you like to do the honors, smkndofpnutdssrt?

Oops . . . looks like she had to leave. I'll go ahead and start one.

The model on the BNL site was NANC•E, I believe. Those robots all had the fact that their model sounded like real human names in common with WALL•E.
