Short Circuit!" I felt a lot better :P

I could have sworn it was a tribute to Johnny Five but Andrew's response to an earlier question referencing E.T. prompted him to explain that Wall•E's eyes come from him playing around with binoculars at a baseball game and recognizing the range of emotion from that simple mechanic of moving the lenses closer and farther apart. Then the treads were added for increased mobility and the boxy nature was for him to be able to hide like a turtle to show his timidness.

As Kevin stated in the title, he said he only saw the original Short Circuit like once and barely remembers it. Oh well. I remember you Johnny Five...

And you know what was even better?

Yes: Short Circuit 2.

SpaceCamp was really good, too.

I must say I'm more willing to check the film out now than previously, if because I'm always enamored with what we leave behind when we inevitably disappear from the universe.

And finally, thank god, I have some ammo when I have to endure "I liked it better when it was called Short Circuit" for the MILLIONTH time.
