Over at the Animated News forums say that it is rumored the movie is dialogue
free.
What do you guys think about this?
I really can?t see that robot (in the picture at the being
of this topic) speaking. Can
you?

I heard rumor that the plot
was a robots-in-love kinda story? Thought I’d throw that out there.
Here’s where I saw
it.

Aww, he is cute, i mean, for a robot anyway 
And that’s great that Andrew Stanton’s directing it! It
would certainly be interesting to have him be like an R2-D2 (whom I love anyway) but i’m not sure how well that
would work to have it be dialogue-free…
Hey ! I just get the picture right ! I really need to buy some new eyes 
At first I
thought he had no mouth. But I just realized that he’s actually holding something like an old photograph in his
claws. So, his mouth his hidden behind, I suppose.

Archibald: I don’t think he or “it” is holding
anything, but you might be right. 
Edit: The top bule circle is where I
think its mouth is, and the bottom bule circle where the rust is appears to me to be a face of some sort.
Lu
xo’s blog thinks it looks like a face
to:
Hmm…This is interesting…I
won’t speculate too much, as we have only got one picture, so there’s not much to go on here…The robot looks
sweet, but that picture is very gloomy. Maybe this will be one of Pixar’s more down-to-earth, depressing films,
but this is only judging on one picture, and it will be a ‘kid’s movie’ after all, so I’m sure there’ll be
humour in there somewhere.
Yeah, maybe his mouth is just
under his eyes. But I still believe he’s holding something in his claws
Hey yeah, it does look like he’s holding something. Heh
– I always assumed that that was just part of his body. The round spot in the corner of the “picture”
looks a little bit like a planet of some sort, and the blotch on the left looks very similar to a face, like you
guys have said. It looks like a young Clint Eastwood… 
I
personally don’t think pixar would have a full length feuture film with a mute character.
A short maybe, but
not a movie.
The logo looks “space-y” (if that’s word) and high-tech.
Does anybody else
think the “face” looks kinda like Yoda?
When I showed it to a friend of mine, he immediately thought of
this robot, from
Star Tours (well, he and I saw this robot in Disneyland? Resort Paris, maybe you
know it from a US Disney park ).
I agree. A big company like Pixar, even if it is a very creative one, will never take such
a risk for a feature film. But they already did it for many shorts - Geri’s Game,
One Man Band, Luxo Jr., and the list goes
on…
By the way - maybe a little off-topic - did any of you see [i]Belleville
Rendez-vous[/i] ? Only a few words spoken in the whole movie, but one of my favourite animated film
ever. Really particular.
Good point. If Wall-E is without dialogue I’m
hoping it’s just as good as One Man Band. Beutiful. Simply beutiful. ( It’s my
favorite short. )
If the movie has no dialogue then who will John Ratzenberger voice? But it?s still a rumor
so?
Oh there will be dialogues. No doubt
about it
Mm-hm. Yeah, you’re
right. There will have to be some dialogue in the film to keep it running/interesting, but still – I wonder what
Pixar film would be like if it didn’t have any dialogue in it at all?
Archibald - Hey, I remember that robot from [i]Star
Tours[/i]! I can’t believe I didn’t think of him when I saw WALL-E.
it does look like the Star Tours robot!!! O.O
Come to think of it, a robot woudn’t really need a
mouth, only speakers! But then I think it would be hard to sell an animated character talking without using a
physical mouth…
There better be. Otherwise the John Ratzenberger streak/tradition would no
longer exist.
I wonder who whould be perfect to play the voice of
Wall-E. And what will he sound like? Will he sound like a cute, adorable robot, or someone with a deeper
voice?
"There will have to be some dialogue in the film to
keep it running/interesting,"
Ever heard of Charlie Chaplin? Or Buster Keaton? F. W. Murnau? Mary
Pickford?
