Fascinating. I just haven't seen quite this kind of thoughtful, in-depth exploration of WALL•E's background in American media coverage when the film premiered here. Not only are Stanton's answers interesting, but the reporter's own summaries and analysis are quite insightful.
It would have been great if some of this material had been added to the book, The Art of WALL•E, as what's profiled in this article goes beyond some of what was presented there.

“Guys like Chaplin and Keaton were such masters of their craft that cinema lost something with the arrival of sound. When filmmakers had words to fall back on, they became lazy as storytellers.”
Very cool!!

"Stanton said that he decided not to give WALL-E a cute, funny voice provided by a comic actor such as Robin Williams, Jim Carrey or Seth Rogen" In the name of all that is sacred, thank you!!!Awesome article; that's actually one of the most well-written I've ever seen. Aussies are much more intelligent than we give them credit for.  Kidding, don't hurt me you Aussies. |
