OregonLive.com‘s Shawn Levy, received a report from someone, which detailed the events that took place a sneak peak screening of WALL-E in Oregon on Monday.
Monday evening a few friends and I saw what I presume was one of the first test screenings of Wall-E at the Lloyd Center. John Lassater was sitting behind us.
Pixar has done it again. I never saw Cars, didn’t have much interest, yet I feel I should now see it at least once. Ratatouille was simply lovely and Wall-E is just as good if not better in it’s own special way.
says the anonymous reporter. The reporter than goes on to explain that a lot of it is still rough and full of storyboarded sequences with temp music. However the reporter also confirms that Fred Willard does indeed appear in the film in live action form.
There are no real story spoilers, so if you are game, have a mosey on over to OregonLive.com and read the report.

I was at this screening and, without ruining the story, I would like to note that the “dark” parts of the movie have to do with pollution and corporations making the world unlivable (what animated movie doesn’t include this these days). Also, in the future, apparently, every human is obese. Those of us who are sensitive about our weight might not want to go to this movie.
Anonymous, I have to ask: Do they preach about how we should stress to avoid trashing Earth and not get fat, or do they just show the pictures and let them do their work? Also, did you enjoy it?
I too was at the early showing of the movie. I am assuming the film makers are somewhat set on parts of the story line and not so decided on others. This would explain why some scenes are in a completed animated format and others are in a sketch format still.
I for one was not totally excited by the story. The concept was good by the connection between the robots and humans was weak at best. The human portions of the movie were the sketched format while the story line of the two main robots were in a more finished format.
I would image the story line will change from what was shown to us.
Ew, points deducted for not seeing Cars. 😛 But yeh… sneak peaks are always very new, and it’s not good to base your opinion on it. A guy I knew went to a sneak preview of Cars and thought the story was so-so, but after a second preview he believed the movie belonged with the best of Pixar. 🙂
I’m still looking forward to the movie, but I’m wondering if it will be the best Pixar movie ever or just as good as the other Pixar movies.
