Tidbits on Pixar's Up & Wall*E

By Ryan 'The Rican with the Irish name' McLelland on November 1, 2007

Pixar's Brad Bird (Ratatouille, The Incredibles) talked with Sci-Fi Wire about Pixar's newest Up along with some news on next year's Wall*E.

Up, set for a 2009 release, will be directed by Monsters, Inc.'s Pete Docter and written by Docter along with Bob Peterson (Finding Nemo). 

On Up Bird said, "I think it's a really great, emotional, whimsical [story].  It's not like any other Pixar film."

Wall*E is Pixar's sci-fi flick about the only working robot on Earth still trying to clean up the waste left by the world's humans, who decided to go into space while the cleaning process goes on.  Problem is the humans never returned, all the other robots broke, and Wall*E is the only one left doing his work.

"Wall*E is not like any other Pixar film," Bird said. "Ratatouille is very different from Cars.  Cars is different from The Incredibles. One of the wonderful things about Pixar is they're always looking for a different way to tell a story. And they are passion-driven projects. ... These films are more emotionally invested in from the word go. And they feel that that kind of passion to see it get made is what's going to carry it through."
