WALL•E is the new film for Pixar. I just saw this movie on Saturday, and I really believe that it is one of the best movies that Pixar has ever made. The characters are wonderful and the story is meaningful and very tightly knitted together. And after watching the movie, it just may influence you to care a bit more about the environment and Earth. But why I am I talking about WALL•E, if this is not a movie review blog but one about Apple?
As you may know, Steve Jobs had bought Pixar from Lucasfilm in 1986, very soon after he had left Apple. However, the ties with with WALL•E and Apple don't just end there. EVE, one of the robots and main characters of the movie was designed with some help from Jon Ive, the Senior Vice President of Industrial Design at Apple. The robot's seamless white design may remind you of the design of Apple products. WALL•E also watches his videos on an old iPod, magnifying the small screen multiple times to recreate a television. AUTO, the autopilot of the space station Axiom, has the voice of MacTalk, and WALL•E's truck contains an old Mac keyboard along with his other valuables. Also, you may recognize that sound WALL•E makes when he is done recharging using his solar panels!
Enjoy WALL•E and also look for these hidden Apple related things if you watch it. And if you have a 20-inch iMac, or if you have a monitor with a resolution of 1680 x 1050, you may like the desktop picture I made. Click on the preview at left to open the full image.WALL•E images from Pixar
