WALL.E
Dir: Andrew Stanton
Released today in the UK, WALL.E on Blu-ray which features some great extras, including Pixar’s latest great animated shorts Presto and BURN.E
One of the most facinating extras on the disc is the part where the director, Andrew Stanton totally re-writes the ending (the switch between WALL.E and EVE) and due to his ‘gut feeling’ has the whole team doing their bit till all hours of the morning to get the film finished in time for the cinema release.
