I was browsing flickr a while back and came across a few children’s drawings of our favourite little robot. He seems to really connect with kids for some reason… You can click on each image to go to its page.
My fav is the first drawing. I love how the budding artist has put tracks on WALL•E.
I hate children, but that is pretty sweet. I think WALL-E as a character probably connects with children so well because he is very childlike himself. Plus, there’s the fact that he doesn’t really speak at all, so using physical communication means that the children are able to understand him really well (and they probably find him pretty funny, too, just like EVE did).
It’s natural. No children could hate this film. It’s too cute to be taken seriously, so I wouldn’t be surprised if that six year old tough boy over there squeals as well.
I don’t like kids at all, (well, the little ones at least), but I have to admit this is kind of neat, I guess. xD; At least it proves all those people who said kids would never sit through WALL*E wrong.
The thing I really like about the pictures is the interpretation of the characters, and how aware kids are of the little details, like with EVE’s chest in the fourth drawing.
Oh yeah, I didn’t even notice that! (THE IRONY) That is pretty cool. I don’t think people give kids enough credit when it comes to movies. When I was a kid, I noticed a lot of little details and stuff like that, and I don’t imagine I was the only one.
…Come to think of it, as a kid, I actually payed WAY more attention to the visuals then I did to the dialog. I guess that’s why it irks me when people act like kids will get bored if there isn’t talking every two seconds of a film. xD;
