    i honestly think the design of the other robot is kind of crap, Wall-E's design is absolutely perfect though, and he is animated so well.

    As much as I wish Pixar would do something with a little more of an edge, I still love what they do. Except for Cars, haha

    Apple's lead designer actually played a part in the design of Eve apparently, google it.

    I can't say I approve, the automator robot kind of sucks also, time to go make a Wall-E icon to replace the ugly Automator robot...

    I have a very specific taste when it comes to robots I guess, haha.

    i probably shouldn't do this but here is the actual icon in .png format, I will let you figure out how to convert it for use, I recommend just getting candybar 3.

    Just saw WALL·E today, it's amazingly entertaining, a great piece of story and animation put together.

    Apple facts:

    -When WALL·E's battery charges you hear apple chime which appears exactly twice in the movie.
    -WALL·E has a VCR that connects to iPod classic, he then puts some screen in front of it which sorta magnifies the video and acts as a TV.
