After EVE presses down the “Hello, Dolly!” tape in hopes of reviving WALL-E, we see him compact some of his favorite things into of box. One of those things is a mixer, presumabley the same one WALL-E showed to EVE in the beginning (he grabbed it from roughly the same spot she placed it); the one EVE accidently broke. However, it was suddenly magically fixed. 
If you listen closely to the “Top Secret Video” near the end of the movie, when Shelby Forthright tells AUTO to assume Directive A113, in his greeting it almost sounds like he says “Hey there AUTO Pilot(s)”. (Note this is plural.) Does anyone else think he says this?? This would indicate that all of the AUTO Pilots assumed the directive.

I noticed two more Mac references, particularly in both Wall-E and Eve’s design.
For Wall-E, notice how the L-shaped arm tracks on his body resemble the slot drive on Mac computers (especially the dust-cover ‘bristles’)?
And for Eve, notice how when she went into hibernation mode, her ‘plant logo’ glows in the same manner as the power light on Macs when they’re in sleep mode?
Yeah, I put the first one in on the other observations thread. You might mean when Hal wiggled his way into that slot, it sure looked like it was for a disk. It made me think he has at least a disk in there somewhere and perhaps other motherboards.
Btw, this forum sure has died in the past few weeks. The bad news has cast some kind of shadow. A few posts a day is pretty sad.
I was honestly confused with all the “observation” threads… I wanted to post something about the captains of the Axiom once (which I did), but I didn’t know whether to put it in the “History” thread or the “Science” thread… or the “Observation” thread!!! 
I think it’s clear that he says ‘AUTO Pilots’ in the movie…So that would mean that there are still millions of people floating through space for all eternity… 
I don’t think that’s the case. My idea is that all of the ships are networked somehow, and the moment Brandon (oops… Captain McCrea…) pressed the holo-detector button, the other ships responded as well. I’m pretty sure that they all hyperjumped back home at the same time to their respective locations.
Either that or after the humans on the Axiom had lived on Earth for a while, the EVE probes from the other ships found the plants that grew there and brought the other ships home. (Now the thing with that is… all of the other captains would have had to battle with their AUTOs to override Directive A113!!!)
It’s only a theory, anyways. 
Now that’s an interesting theory…It’s too bad the captains don’t have a WALL-E to help them out.
My guess is that the ‘History’ and ‘Science’ threads come from the walleforum.com site, which links to there, and they have found a lot of extra stuff and expanded on the basics of the movie. There is also a Soundtrack thread, an Advanced (Observations) thread, and probably lots of smaller threads, just not a Ben Burtt thread.
There are just too many types of observations in a 97 min movie to put in one thread, and it’s good on the other hand that they do collect into just a few threads instead of having numerous threads like “Did you see all the Captain’s names? Har har har!”
Other ‘Observation’ threads:
‘Dvd observations’
‘Subtitles always correct?’
‘Pixar in-jokes in Wall-E’
So these other threads are kind of specialized.
I’m not sure that I agree with picking holes in every aspect of this film, the plant can survive in space because it’s surrounded by a field of ‘plot’ which leads to one of the most beautiful moments in 2008 cinema, that’s all that is needed.
This film is brilliant as it is, it doesn’t require picking at it’s few flaws just to satisfy curiosity, I’m all for highlighting the clever in-jokes and observations purposefully put into the film but attempting to analyse it ona scientific basis? That’s hardly necessary.

Ha, this is funny. I think it’s a speech impediment, I remember WALL·E trying to pronounce it a few times.
In Spain, in the dubbed version they changed the name EVE to EVA, with the same meaning, so the gag didn’t worked and the scene seemed stupid. Pepole couldn’t have understood “EVE” as a name, while Eva is a common name here.
I also love the scene of her first flying, haha. This robots are like children, but they’re more human-like than the humans, which is one interesting part.
Yeah, this film is dark. Darker than it seems, I believe. I like the hard criticism against big private firms: they have total control of our future in this film.
I never paritcularly saw Wall•e as having a ‘speech’ impediment, as a robot he just tries to pronounce every letter in a word, EVE does the same; for the first few attempts she tries to pronounce both l’s in Wall•e, making her say Wal-l-e
When Wall•e tries to pronounce EVE he tries to say the ‘E’ at the end hence Ev-ah.’
That’s my opinion anyway.
Mm, you’re right.
Halos Nach Tariff: Hmm…that’s a good way of thinking of it. I don’t think I ever thought of that before…maybe I did with "Ev-ah’ but I didn’t realize that with “Wal-l-e”. That’s interesting…
