A Look Inside the Making Of WALL-E

Check out early sketches of the characters from Pixar's space odyssey, now on DVD.

With the release of WALL-E on DVD this week, Rotten Tomatoes is giving you an inside look into the making of the best-reviewed wide release of the year (Certified Fresh at 96 percent). We toured Pixar studios in September, and learned about the process of crafting this animated sci-fi romp from director Andrew Stanton and others. Click through for a look behind the scenes, as well as some early concept art from Pixar's latest wonder.





In crafting a feature, Pixar usually spends two to three years on the story. Starting with a script, the film is subsequently storyboarded. The studio used 96,000 storyboards for WALL-E. (Director Andrew Stanton is pictured above, to the right.)

Wall-E is amazing. It probably won't happen, but I think it would be awesome if it won the Oscar for best picture this year. It's definitely my favorite movie of this year (so far).

I bid you to find me someone who says this is bad. The RT Community gives it 90 percent, so 10 percent says it's bad. Who dosen't like it, WHO?!

I LOVE this movie. I'm buying the 3-disc edition eventually. Pixar never ceases to amaze me. And after seeing the new "Up" trailer, I have no doubt that that will be a great movie, too. And of course, I'm completely psyched for Toy Story 3.

Wall-E was the best movie of the year. TDK close second.

11 PAGES WITH TWO IMAGES ON EACH PAGE? Are you kidding? Rotten Tomatoes, stop being so money-hungry and trying to get more advertising hits with each page load!

I didn't even bother seeing this 'article' to the end.
