WALL•E recently made another cameo appearance on FOX’s hit-animated sitcom, The Simpsons! This time, our favorite little robot is joined by none other than his true love EVE!
In last week’s episode "Stealing First Base", Bart Simpson is knocked unconscious by his sweetheart Nikki triggering a montage of memorable movie kisses. The famous Pixar couple is included in a spoof of the Define Dancing sequence leading up to the electrifying “kiss.”
Watch the clip below, note that international readers may not be able to play the video as it is region locked:
WALL•E seems to be the subject of Simpson’s dream sequences as of late. Maybe it has to do with Jim Reardon’s involvement in both projects…
You may remember back in late 2008, Upcoming Pixar posted a clip of Homer’s post-apocalyptic nightmare involving a WALL-E-esque character and an unfortunate lack of honey. Also, not too long ago, the show parodied Carl’s house from Up.
Are you a fan of The Simpsons? What do you think of the show’s latest nod to Pixar and its body of characters?

I’m too terrified to look. ._.
It’s more of an homage than a spoof.
I personally loved it, but then again, I’m a The Simpsons fan.
Trust me, you’ll like it too.
I actually meant to post this days ago, but had been putting it off. Since it’s been a slow news week, I think this is somewhat random yet satisfyingly related enough to post. In other words, perfect!
It’s also mostly an homage to cinema paradiso (one of Andrew Stanton’s favorite films)
Haha, that’s great! I’ve always loved The Simpsons… haven’t caught any of the more recent epsiodes tho (from the past five years or so) so I haven’t caught any of their Pixar references while watching. WALL•E and EVE should definitely, one day, be recognized as a prolific movie couple. 🙂
