Originally Posted By DyGDisney I've seen Wall-E, it's AWESOME! Funny, entertaining and exciting. I don't see it being unsucessful at all, but I don't know how they would work a sequel from it's story either. Of course, I don't have a very creative mind.

The Short Circuit movies were terrible. (Not to mention being blatant knock-offs of ET, and cursing the world with "Who's Johnny?")

Some of the best Disneyland attractions are not based on film material. And still stand the test of time TO THIS DAY! So .. pardon me .. But get over YOURself! Pirates Mansion Big Thunder Mtn. Railroad Space Mountain Tiki Room Jungle Cruise it's a small world ... and even though there was "Third Man on a Mountain" .... there's really no connection with that and the Matterhorn Bobsleds As far as a "Wall E" attraction goes for Tomorrowland ...... Depends on it's execution. If the attraction has a distinct "cartoon" look about it .. Then I would be very disappointed. If they build sets in a realistic design .. then I think a Wall-E attraction could blend into the Tomorrowland landscape much better than the (Absolute) cartoony feel with Buzz and Nemo.

" I am sorry but after seeing Wall-e and seeing how original the movie is i have ot disagree with you. although Wall-e has some minor similiarities to Johnny 5, they are two completely diferent characters with theri own personality and look. Wall-e not only works as a robot but the Pixar crew manage to once again give this character heart. The storyline is superb and the movie is hundred times more enjoyable than short circuit. It does not surprise me that reviews are praising Pixar for another work of art and hopefully one of the biggest success of the year.

I am beyond sick and tired of these idiotic Armageddon scenarios based on trashing the planet. I couldn't care less how cute this character is; there is no way I'll see this flick and I for one love Pixar's films. Stepping down from the soapbox...

That is not what Tomorrowland is all about. The very film itself runs counter to Disney's vision; I doubt it would have seen the light of day under his direction.

Originally Posted By crazycroc Truly original idea = Short Circuit Result = Millions of fans, skyrocketing merch sales, the acceptance of El Debarge as the new Beatles. Stupid idea = Wall-E ripping that off so blatantly. Sad idea = Americans so stupid that they accept this type of copycat entertainment.
