• The name «WALL·E» is an acronym and in the Russian version, it stands for «Vselensky Annigilyator Landshaftny Legkiy – Intellektualny» (Universal Annihilator Landscape Light – Intelligent). The original full name of the robot is «Waste Allocation Load Lifter, Earth class», which can be roughly translated as «earth-class garbage loader».
• The idea to create an animated film about the WALL·E robot originated at Pixar Studios back in 1994. It took 14 years from the idea to the film's premiere.
• A model for the hands of the cleaning robots was found in the handles of the toilet stalls at the Pixar studio.
• The teaser contains a piece of original music by Michael Kamen for the film “Brazil” (1985). Michael Kamen was going to write music for “The Incredibles” (2004), but died before filming began.
• Jim Reardon left his post as director of the series “The Simpsons” (1989) to do animation for this film.
• Most of the robots are voiced by Ben Burtt using mechanical sounds he created himself.
• This is the first Pixar film to use real actors.
• WALL·E collects numerous items from the 60s-80s, including a VHS tape of the film “Hello, Dolly!” (1969), a Rubik's Cube, and even an Atari 2600 with the Pong game. Despite the fact that the film takes place 800 years in the future, these items are still in working order.
• The film is dedicated to Justin Wright, a 27-year-old Pixar animator who died of a heart attack.
• The protocol to which the autopilot (AUTO) is programmed, A113, is a reference to an animation class at the California Institute of the Arts, where many Pixar animators were educated.
• The end credits contain not only paintings in the style of many ancient cultures, but also imitate specific performers, such as Vincent van Gogh, Georges-Pierre Seurat, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir.
• Jonathan Ive, the designer who gave the world the iPod, iMac, and iPhone, was involved in developing Eve.
• After charging the solar batteries, WALL·E makes a sound, the same sound that Apple computers make when booting up.
• The film has another slogan: “He’s been doing his job for 700 years. Now he’s about to discover his true purpose.”
• WALL·E has an entire collection of Zippo lighters, some of them even work – 700 years after they were manufactured! This is obviously a reference to the well-known quality of Zippo products.
• In the World of Warcraft game, there is a robot mailman named M.Y.L.L.E. specifically for engineers.
• Many note the similarity between the robot characters WALL-E and Johnny 5 from the film "Short Circuit" (1986), even down to the film poster design.
• The last piece of trash that WALL-E throws away as he leaves Earth is the first artificial satellite of Earth, launched by the USSR.
• The scene where the captain fights the onboard computer to the music of Strauss is a reference to the film "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968).
• The name "WALL-E" is an acronym, and in the Russian version it stands for “Universal Annihilator Landscape Light – Intelligent.” The robot’s original full name is “Waste Allocation Load Lifter, Earth class,” which can be roughly translated as “earth-class waste loader.”
• Many note the similarity between the robot characters WALL-E and Johnny 5 from the film “Short Circuit” (1986), even extending to the film poster design.
