If you have not yet met Wall-E (pictured above), then you are in for quite a surprise. We first met him at Comic Con in August, but the world has been slowly warming to him ever since. He is the star of Pixar’s next film — which follows in the footsteps of the very successful Ratatouille.

Personally, I love Pixar to death — they just do animated features (and shorts) right. But Wall-E will mark the first time that I have ever cocked my head to the side and said “Huh?” when the great Andrew Stanton has announced a project. So let me get this straight — it is a film about a cute little robot who has been stranded on Earth for 700 years by himself. I will buy that, but once you tell me that the little dude doesn’t talk and there are no humans around for much of the movie, you’ve lost me. But even through my skepticism, I am still holding out hope that this will somehow turn into another great film — Pixar is yet to disappoint me.

Take a look at the latest trailer for Wall-E, viewable below. Wall-E hits theaters on June 27, 2008.
