I will admit that I’ve been beating up on this little guy, but there is a place inside me somewhere that is warming to the concept of Wall-E with every new clip, pic and trailer. If the non-talking little robot lacks anything, it is certainly not charisma. This evening Disney and Pixar have released a brand new, full-length trailer for the film. Lets watch it together, see how this plays out.

Now that you’ve watched it, and if you are like me then you had to watch it twice, you will probably agree with me that this movie looks absolutely FANTASTIC! At first I didn’t understand why you would want to watch a movie where the main character doesn’t speak, but now that I can see how much life the magicians at Pixar have been able to breath into the little guy, I am implicitly sold on this concept.

As if they were guided by the hand of the marketing gods, Pixar has delivered one of the best trailers of the year (right up there with Iron Man) — finally, we see that the film has an amazing depth — we have action, adventure and even a love story. Incredibly creative and possibly masterfully crafted, Wall-E is beginning to look more and more like something special. Time will tell how this brilliance will translate when it comes to box office success, but I find it hard to believe that families (and big goofy kids like myself) won’t grasp on to this if the marketing continues in the right direction.

Wall-E is directed by Finding Nemo helmer Andrew Stanton. It’s human voice stars include Fred Willard (Anchorman) and Jeff Garlin (Curb Your Enthusiasm)

Sound Off: Discuss amongst yourselves. How does Wall-E make you feel?
