WALL-E/Trivia

• The Danza: John Ratzenberger (aka Pixar's Mascot, aka Pixar's Good Luck Charm) plays John.
• Hey, It's That Voice!:
  • The voice of the Axiom's computer is provided by Sigourney Weaver.
  • Auto's voice sound familiar? Whatever Happened to... Robot Jones? Did he grow up to be an evil steering wheel?
  • Defied with EVE, voiced by Elissa Knight. The original intention was to use her voice as a placeholder and hire someone more known later, but they loved her performance too much to replace it (and who could blame them?).
• Revival by Commercialization: The use of Hello, Dolly! songs generated massive publicity and sparked some talk of a revival.
• Technology Marches On: If you look closely at the HAN-S robots, their display shows one of the sample images from Windows XP.
• Viral Marketing: Pixar set up a realistic Buy-N-Large website before the movie came out, which can be found at . Sadly, the link now sends you to the official Disney website for WALL-E.
• What Could Have Been:
  • According to the commentary, it was originally planned to avert Eternal English (it is 700 years into the future) and have the humans on the Axiom speak a language altered to the point of being unintelligible to viewers. Basically, the sounds-as-dialogue-replacement would have been through the whole movie.
  • Hey, remember that delightful part of the film where AUTO fries WALL-E's circuits before dumping him and EVE down the trash shoot? Well, apparently, that wasn't the original plan.
  • The humans were once green alien blobs. Stanton and the staff did not find them very identifiable and they evolved into globby humans. By the final product, the humans were evolved into the more into baby-types. Also, the Axiom was a fleet of ships that could attach/detach.
  • Auto was once a typical moving droid rather than the steering wheel of the ship.
• Working Title: "Trash Planet".
