Wall-e keeps flipping me off

[engineer_comp_geek]

I got a remote control wall-e for Christmas. I’m a big fan of the movie and he’s a lot of fun.

Now, being a toy with a limited number of motors, he has some limitations compared to the movie wall-e. For example, he only has one servo motor controlling each arm, which limits his arm movement to up and down and that’s it. In the movie, wall-e waves. The toy wall-e can’t move his arms from side to side, so all he can do when he waves is lift his arm up and turn his hand.

Here’s a picture of him saying “waa-aaalll-eeee” and trying to wave.

Is it just me, or does this gesture look a bit rude?

Dad?

The robots are becoming insolent–the Neo-Luddite army demands action!

Short Circuit was a tale to warn us of the coming destruction!

You must crush it and all like it before they have a chance to self replicate and destroy us allllllllll!!!

Oh man, that is so freaking cute.

I love that picture! My kids wanted one for Christmas, but I wasn’t about to buy two of the things. I may just have to now!

His eyes are so sad.

Where’s EVE? She could perk him up a bit, I’ll bet.

Then Wall-E would probably have something else sticking up.

How would they reproduce, anyway? I mean, they fell in love. And isn’t love just an evolutionary trait so that two animals will come together, reproduce, and care for their offspring? Once in love, would WALL-E and EVE just go out and collect parts and create a tiny robot that would act as their child? What the hell am I talking about?

Oh, geez. That is so freakin’ adorable to picture. Yes, I’m a huge dork.

I’m picturing the robot and the washing machine from Robot Chicken :smack:

Something very similar happens in the Robin Williams movie Robots.

Except that that movie sucked, and Wall-E did not.

At the very least he’d have somewhere else to put that finger.
