My Dreams Have Been Realized -- A Real Wall-E!

This is just too cool not to share with you all, and I hope you pardon my indulgence. I know I should look at this cynically as yet another piece of ridiculous movie marketing, but I don't want to. My grasp on reality is officially slipping (or I've regressed into a five-year-old), because my cynicism has melted, and I am now convinced Wall-E exists. There is video proof. He is real.

My life will be forever incomplete because I want one for my very own. I want him to wheel around my house and chirp at me. Thanks, Disney/Pixar -- I will never be happy again. (It does make you wonder what happens to things like this. Seriously, Disney, if you need a home for one, call me. I will treasure him forever.)

Wall·E opens June 27th.

5. Are you going to spend your days on Cinematical harassing me now? Cause it's cute. It really is.

6. Wall*E probably weighs 2 tons, but it wouldn't have stopped me from trying to pick him up and run away with him. I can't believe there is a real Wall*E.

7. I remember reading about this on a Disney blog awhile back. He's part of Disney's Living Character Initiative and he'll be rolling around Disneyland and Walt Disney World. If you're there this summer you might run into him.

8. They should really have him roll in on the premier, it'll be so funny.

9. Okay, can we keep this one on topic and stop attacking the writer please. If you have nothing substantial to add to the conversation, please keep the snide, personal remarks to yourself. It'd be much appreciated. Thanks.

10. Sorry dude, she just irked me and kept it up. Whole thing started when I suggested she 'just didn't get it' and took that as 'insulting her'. I was just suggesting maybe superhero movies weren't her thing. And I can see that Wall-E type movies are. So there you go.

11.
WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO WRITE ABOUT MOVIES?

I realized I wasn't really talented enough to be in them, so I decided to do the next best thing and write about them.

Then I realized I wasn't really talented enough to do that either, but I decided to do the next best thing and keep on writing about them. And leaving snarky replies to my readers.

12. Jon, you were just asked by the editor of the site to quit being a childish douche. What are you, 10? Can we move on now?

thanks.

15. Woah woah Jon! Liz likes all movies, whether they're superhero movies or so-called WALL-E-type movies. Stop posting bad comments.

Anyway, that WALL-E is sooo cute I just want to steal him! ^_^
