Love it! Him finding and knowing this "feeling" 400 years ago by the time we meet him in the movie just makes things even more melancholy, but makes the ending of the saga that much happier, so kudos! Any significance to the serial number (4530PX5AS1) this time around?

Thanks! Well, one more to go . . . we gotta do the Hal intros. Yep, serial number is an in-joke again . . . Date of release, Pixar's 4th film, Stanton's first directing is . . . ?

Well, I think after Hal I've pretty much exhausted all of the major "backstory" things that we see in the first 8 minutes of the film. But it's such a compliment to know you'd want more!

*Sigh* That was simply fantastic!
I love how you quoted some of the lines from Hello Dolly. I could just imagine Cornelius talking in his wavy voice about love and WALL-E listening on.
The end was quite touching also. He inadvertently found a trace of what he was looking for and what all the humans in the video were talking about without even knowing it, when he propped up the dead WALL-E to preserve whats left of its dignity.
I also like how some parts make you do a bit of critical thinking, particularly as we are viewing dynamic human behavior through WALL-E's rigid, robotic perspective as he tries to make sense out of it. Like for instance: That's a pretty deep and philosophical statement, and it can be taken in so many ways.
That's one of my favorite quotes. It's funny because I can imagine him doing!
Do you supppose he took home the fish because it was singing like the people in the video?

Could be . . . . . . But I actually only referenced specific items that I actually saw in the 1969 Hello Dolly film. And, there IS a mounted fish in the film. If anyone's seen it, it's the scene where Horace is having his shave and is yelling at Ambrose. As soon as the camera moves into the room, look up and slightly to the right. When I saw that, I couldn't believe it. I have no idea if that was what inspired Stanton to put it in the film, but it was so cool that I could reference it when I had no intention of trying to put it in my story until I saw it there! ;D Just one of those really cool things that worked out. And thanks for the feedback on the "sentient" parts -- I worked really hard to "get into" WALL-E's head and try to imagine how he would experience that "eureka" moment of seeing himself in human terms, how his directive/programming might interfere, and how he could, in a very "human" way, overcome it. I'm glad it worked because it's the part I really, really, really wanted to work on both practical and philosophical levels. Thanks again for the very thoughtful comments!

Well, I think after Hal I've pretty much exhausted all of the major "backstory" things that we see in the first 8 minutes of the film. How about making the next series about EVE's story? She does have a pretty mysterious background. Questions like how it is she seemed already sapient, rebellious, and seemingly posesses a personality upon arriving to Earth can be answered...

Actually, I have thought of that. ;D (And I read the EVE threads in the character forum area really closely with that in the back of my mind.) But I'm kind of hoping someone else takes that on because I don't have a lot of faith in my ability to "be" EVE in working through the story. WALL-E's just more accessible to me, somehow.

I think you'd do a fantastic job of formulating a story for EVE, regardless! But if your unsure about it, then that's understandable. I'd write it myself, but I want it to match the same level of, for lack of a better word, awesomeness like the WALL-E prequel series you've had going on so far, so I'm a bit shaky on that

heheh, its not "awsomeness" Its "epicness" <3 And i agree you should do EVE and how she became rebelious, or maybe even more stuff on the humans, like how it came to be that so much garbage came to be on earth and such adn such
