We just received one of the new Disney Pixar Ultimate Control Wall-E remote controlled robots, and we just had to share. If you’ve been looking for a Wall-E robot toy that mimics the actions of Wall-E from the movie, this is it. It features movie-like movement, the original character voice, and familiar sound effects. As soon as you turn him on, Wall-E comes to life, introduces himself, and then follows your commands. You can have him respond specifically to the remote control, which controls movement of his head, arms, hands, wrists, and body, as well as expressions and phrases....

(Credit: Disney-Pixar) Disney is fighting a piracy war over its acclaimed film Wall-E against a company that its venture capital arm invested in, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal. The infringing company, 56.com, a Chinese video sharing site that's similar to YouTube, hosted several full-length bootlegs of Wall-E that were freely available on the company's site. The bootlegs were added by users of the site months ago, but only recently have they been fully removed from its pages. Piracy in China is nothing new, but the fact that 56.com featured Disney movies on its site is ironic,...

3D is all the rage now with printers, cameras and now a webcam. The Novo Minoru 3D webcam looks a lot like Disney/Pixar's Wall-E robot and brings the promise of 3D video home. In an attractive red color, the webcam has two cameras spaced roughly the same distance apart as human eye. Imagess from the two are mixed together into a single stream to create the 3D effect. It's not going to be terribly comfortable to use though. Viewers have to wear special red and blue colored goofy glasses to see the 3D image. The good news? Five pairs...
If you’ve seen the Disney/PIXAR movie WALL-E last summer, then the Bandai NetTansorWeb robot will probably look strangely familiar. Robot Japan 2008 was the stage for Bandai as they presented the NetTansorWeb, which unveiled a new robotic friend with some interesting features. The NetTansorWeb is designed with surveillance cameras, and can move around your house automatically while you are gone, checking for intruders. It has sensors that will avoid obstacles, which I can only assume stairs. You can also control the robot via WiFi to check things that the autopilot is probably missing. I have no idea if you...
Get ready to fight to dead for this one, Disney, Pixar, and Dreamworks: More than a thousand penguins have suddenly appeared on the beaches of Brazil. The scientists can't explain why this is happening. Some say they are somehow confused. Knowing the views in Brazil's beaches, I personally think they are not confused at all. Brazilian National Institute for Space Research climatologist Jose Marengo thinks the penguins—who are being airlifted back to its origin by the air force—got lost because of changes in the ocean circulation in the South Atlantic: Clearly we've been seeing changes in the ocean circulation in...
We started our day a little later than planned (i.e. got up at 7:30am instead of 7am) because we didn’t realize that the time on the alarm clock was set to AM last night when we set the alarm. This is no big deal since we are on vacation after all but we did have a full day planned. We grabbed some breakfast via the hotel’s continental offering (”waffles and bagels and donuts, Oh My!” as Judy said), and then headed off to Epcot. We arrived at Epcot around 9:30am and the park seemed relatively empty. By noon the...
For the first time ever, two animated science fiction movies will open the same day, this Friday. Of course, Star Wars: Clone Wars will smush the flies-in-space epic Fly Me To The Moon like... well, like a bug. But this animated traffic jam is still significant, because of what it signals: the rise of animated science fiction from a minor subgenre to a full-blown genre in its own right, complete with a range of competing styles. There's been plenty of animated scifi before this summer, of course — Fox and Blue Sky put out the bog-awful Robots a few years...
Before Comic-Con even got underway, Boom! Studios was stealing headlines with the announcement of their new deal with Disney/Pixar that will see six new series based upon Pixar movies hitting comic stores soon. All of the names you'd expect to see are there, including this summer's smash Wall-E. But our pick for the must-have series? Former Flash and Fantastic Four writer Mark Waid's take on The Incredibles, with cover art by DC: The New Frontier's Darwyn Cooke. Talking to Newsarama, Waid - who is also the Editor-in-Chief of Boom! - explained that the deal between the publisher and Pixar...
