Wall-E

The most well reviewed film this year by far seems to be the new Disney-Pixar movie, “Wall-E”.
I have yet to read a bad review of this film.
It has been said before but the Wall-E robot is similar to that of the robot “Number 5” or “Johnny 5” as he was known as in the 1986 movie; “Short Circuit”. It’s stars were Ally Sheedy and Steve Guttenberg. It made $40 million in the US and a sequel followed in 1988 which was called, yes! “Short Circuit 2”.
“Wall-E” is above. “Johnny 5” is below. Discuss!

Short Circuit also had one of the poppiest soundtrack songs ever in the form of El DeBarge’s hit; Who’s Johnny. El Debarge had released their best known song “Rhythm of the Night” in 1985 as well as my favourite song by them; “Who’s Holding Donna Now.
“Who’s Johnny” reached number 1 on the US R’n’B charts and number 3 on the Billboard Singles Chart. The video, which featured singer El Debarge, as well as the movie’s stars; Ally Sheedy and Steve Guttenberg, is below.

Short Circuit is rumoured to be re-made. Why oh why! (Money.)
Wall-E to me will always be Johnny 5’s long lost cousin.
Joshua Rich on the Entertainment Weekly“ website is predicting Wall-E to achieve a $71 million opening weekend but I think it could be even more due to the universal good reviews the film is getting.
Wall-E opens in Ireland and the UK on the 18th of July.
The film’s cute widget, from it’s American website, is below.
