Ending / spoiler

Genres: Adventure, Animated, Comedy, Family, Pixar, Romance, Sci-fi
EVE places Earth's only plant on one of the Axiom ship's decks and the ship automatically hyper jumps to Earth. The captain and all the other humans start living on Earth and restoring vegetation. EVE repairs WALL-E with spare parts from his house and for a moment he doesn't remember her because his memory card got fried. EVE "kisses" WALL-E and he remembers her.

Question: Just a question about the remarkable resemblance to Johnny Five from the Short Circuit films. Is Wall-E intentionally modeled this way or is it just a coincidence they look so alike?

Answer: It certainly wasn't intentional, although the director, Andrew Stanton, has acknowledged that he did see Short Circuit many years ago and agrees that it could well have been a subconscious influence. WALL-E was principally designed with the job that he does in mind - the design brief was to consider WALL-E as an appliance first, what he would need to look like in order to do his job efficiently, then work out how to read emotion into the character after that. Stanton has stated that the chief inspiration for WALL-E's eyes came from a pair of binoculars, which he decided looked happy or sad depending on which way up they were.
