First Image of Wall•E Revealed

In a letter to Disney shareholders, President and CEO Robert Iger revealed the first image of Disney•Pixar's next animated film after Ratatouille.

Behold Wall•E:



We've enlarged the image to show a bit more detail. Sort of looks like a combination of Number (Johnny) 5 from Short Circuit, one of the robots from *batteries not included, the Mars Exploration Rovers, and R.O.B. Keep in mind that a lot of robots tend to be derivative of others, so Wall•E's design is probably paying tribute to his robot ancestors.

Doesn't that look like a face in the lower left rust spot?

The film will be directed by Finding Nemo's Andrew Stanton and is scheduled for a June 2008 release.

Thanks to ComingSoon.net for directing us to the letter.
