I normally wouldn’t be so self-serving as to link to movie reviews for one of our films, but James Lileks is a really good writer, and I’ve been a fan of his since I first received a copy of his book The Gallery of Regrettable Food.
Angus McClane is one of Pixar’s animators, and widely acknowledged as perhaps being it’s largest geek. He’s also got a knack for building Lego stuff, as can be seen by his construction of Wall•E, the star of Pixar’s latest release. I think this Lego creation is quite pleasing.
In related news, Wall•E did an estimated $62.5 million, which placed it in the #1 slot. Awesome. Today is the last day of my post-Wall•E vacation. I’m back to my next project tomorrow.
As we get closer to the Wall-E premiere, you’ll probably be seeing this animatronic version of Wall-E in various promotional spots, and eventually deployed at the theme parks. One of my good friends at Pixar, Tom Duff helped work on the software to help control him (a very cool project) and so it’s good to see him out in the world. Check out:

I think it’s very cool.
