Aint It Cool News recently posted an interview Quint conducted with
Wall•E director Andrew Stanton. One of the key points he talks about is the robot's design:
I mean the binoculars kicked it off, but then you start pulling from… You know I remember going to the STAR TOURS ride on the inaugural night. I waited up all night with my college buddies and through midnight and they had taken this animatronic, from AMERICA SINGS, and stripped off all of its feathers and stuck it in the middle area where you kind of move around and it’s got binoculars, stereoscopic eyes, and I love that. I said, “that is the coolest looking thing I have ever seen.”
