en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_degrees_of_separationTheoretically, you can connect anything to WALL-E in some way. Challenge yourself to make some connections and post them here. A very, very simple example . . . How is Star Wars connected to WALL-E? 1. Carrie Fischer starred in the first Star Wars trilogy. 2. Debbie Reynolds is Carrie Fischer's mother. 3. Gene Kelly starred with Debbie Reynolds in "Singin in the Rain". 4. "Hello, Dolly!" the film from 1969 was directed by Gene Kelly. 5. WALL-E's favorite film is "Hello, Dolly!" Go nuts, guys!

There's also the obvious direct link between STAR WARS and WALL•E, in that Ben Burrt created all the sounds for the robots and more in STAR WARS, and did practically the same in WALL•E.
A slightly less direct link is that Pixar was originally created as an offshoot of Lucasfilm's computer division. Lucasfilm created STAR WARS.
These two movies are practically joined at the hip . . . in multiple ways!

Great examples, everyone. I can't think of anyone. I can think of stupid stuff, but nothing film-related.

Oh, it doesn't have to be film related at all. And the connections can be funny stretches. This is not meant to be serious at all. |

How is milk connected to WALL-E? (I'm drinking milk right now, so why not...)
1. Milk is a drink.
2. Drinks are usually consumed from cups.
3. People consume food from cups in WALL-E.
...Okay, that was just awful. Someone's gotta come up with something better than that.

You could also find HAL under a cup on the offically Wall-E website, and one of the Wall-E advertisements involved Wall-E trying to find HAL under a cup and accidentally squishing one of the cup, he thinking he squished HAL, but HAL fooled him.
