I know this is a G-rated Disney flick, but it has such broad appeal that college students, town drunks and anyone over the age of 21 is going to enjoy WALL-E as much as the kids.

Fellow Fat Guy Brian Gibson joins Neil in the Magical Studio in the Sky to remember the late George Carlin, chat about the San Diego Comic-Con and ramble on and on about why people should see bad movies

Pixar has done it again by giving us the best possible film. It’s a movie for all ages, touching on the very basic elements of human emotion and tenderness.

Just as Disney’s early animated films seem to have something magical about them, Pixar has ushered in a new era of delighting audiences. And with WALL-E, they seem to have found the magic once again.

Thankfully, there is little time left before WALL-E will be unleashed upon the masses, ready to knock the world on its collective ass with curiosity, cuteness and creativity. But it won’t hurt to have one more look…

Film School Rejects recently had a chance to chat with WALL-E director Andrew Stanton and find out a little more about this little robot that could.

We have decided that there is no better way to relax after a long hard day at work than to enjoy some great news about WALL-E, the little robot that will be warming our hearts very soon.

Little known fact about Pixar’s upcoming film Wall-E: 7-time Academy Award nominated cinematographer Roger Deakins was brought in as a special visual consultant. How cool is that?

After dominating the animated film realm over the last decade and then some, Pixar might be in a position to turn their incredible filmmaking prowess to the regular mainstream market.

Earlier this year, I feared Kung Fu Panda. I was afraid it was going to be nothing more than another Shark Tale. Fortunately, I was wrong.

If you are like us, then you have not yet had enough of the cute robot at the heart of Pixar’s next film. And while Wall-E is still weeks away, we do have these beautiful photos to hold you over.

With the release of Kung Fu Panda later this week, we’re heading into the summer animation season. All this makes me reflect on some of my favorite computer animated characters over the years.

So, just to let everyone know. My birthday is August 11, and I would want nothing more than this toy. Pixar is going to be my demise. I turn into a babbling 5-year old any time they come out with a new film. Anyways, watch the video and start balancing your checkbook. I guarantee you will want this.

Animation World Magazine has a first look at Pixar’s newest creation, a new animated short that gives a nod to Warner Bros. animated classics and “Tom and Jerry”.

Nothing like a cute little robot to get your weekend started, right?

Wall-E is a film that appears to be a winner, with an adorable main character and beautiful animation the likes of which only Pixar can deliver. As further evidence of this, we present these 8 great new photos…

The Disney theme parks are building three-foot-tall (which is life-size, in case your were wondering) mobile animatronic versions of WALL-E. These live-action characters will roam the parks and interact with guests and their children.

Checking in at a lean 43 feet and equipped with 18 fluorescent bulbs, Luxo is an easy pick for our Officially Cool for today.

Damn this Wall-E movie — it is forcing me to use the word “cute” at every turn. How am I supposed to maintain my sense of masculinity if I am continually drawn to writing about this cute, cuddly, awesome looking film? It gives me a headache.

Some of you may still be a little confused as to what is going on with Pixar’s Wall-E, this great new featurette might help. It features Pixar’s Andrew Stanton giving us a private look behind the story of the film.

Yesterday we ran down the upcoming slate that was announced by Disney and Pixar, which included the upcoming animated tales of Bolt, Tinker Bell, Pixar’s Up, Toy Story 3, Princess and the Frog, Rapunzel, Newt, The Bear and the Bow, Cars 2 and King of the Elves. Today, Disney released a bunch of cool promo photos from these upcoming projects.

Worried that the wizards at Disney and Pixar are fresh out of ideas after Wall-E? Well, I can’t imagine why you would be but if you are, allow me to quickly put that fear to rest. Dick Cook, chairman of The Walt Disney Studios, and John Lasseter, chief creative officer for Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Studios sent out a press release yesterday of their queue of future projects all the way through 2012.

Theater lobby displays are certainly nothing new. I remember way back in the day a number of Looney Tunes displays graced the floors of my local cineplex when Space Jam came out. According to /Film, Pixar’s Wall-E is the newest to add something to lobby charm.

Despite the sugar-coated trailer that’s hit the web recently for Wall-E, the main premise of the film is a strong indictment of American society – a population of obese humans have trashed and polluted their planet beyond inhabitability.

Time to admit to yourself that Wall-E is cute and that you are going to love him…

Alright, I give up! Wall-E is cute and he is going to rule the summer. Are you happy now?

Without a doubt, the biggest surprise for me at this year’s WonderCon was my reaction to Pixar’s new film Wall-E.

The Wall Street Journal dishes the details on the long-awaited sequel.

How can you not be falling in love with this little guy?

What could be cuter than a robot that doesn’t talk? How about a robot that doesn’t talk with a vacuum cleaner…
