When I saw the movie Wall-E, I knew I’d just seen another Pixar masterpiece. Pixar, maker of hit after animated hit, including Toy Story and Toy Story 2; Finding Nemo; Monsters Inc.; and my favorite animated movie of all-time, The Incredibles, is great because they realize it’s all about story, not great animation (although the animation is great).

Wall-E has been out on DVD for a few months now (of course, I got it immediately), but if you’re a serious fan (or your kid), you can get your own Wall-E.  The U Command Wall-E is a remote controlled robot made by Thinkway Toys. It has more than 1,000 combinations of motions, voices, and actions it can do. The eyes light up, it uses the original movie voice and even has sound effects.

Those of you with children are lucky; you can (and should) say you bought it for little Mikey or Ann. You see, if it’s for them, your spouse will probably go for it. Then, of course, you’ll have to play it with them!

If you prefer Wall-E’s main squeeze, the little white vixen Eve, you can go for her instead.

And by the way Pixar, I’m still waiting for The Incredibles 2. See, it starts with the Underminer taking an orphan hostage and back to his underworld lair…
