[@frambesbuckeye]

I would love for this to be in every home. He could personally compact every child in his trash compactor at that size haha.

[@bionicleweasel]

wow. maybe he will become alive! That would be sooo awesome! I love being a kid. I never grew up from the age past 9 so I love this stuff.

[@liliasaavedra5411]

wall e is a cool robot

[@derbigpr500]

wall-e, eve and that bug are the best movie characters ever! :)

[@eddiebmx]

yea i noticed that too, "johhny five alive!"

[@eagleeyedcreations]

This is a real actual robot they used, as many others have said. There are many other clips of this robot prop in use elsewhere, just search. As others has also said, this was shot on a green screen, easily noticable in three ways. At the start of the clip the camera zooms in and out on the robot and man, while the background stays stationary, a shot at 0.44 shows green screen and also the background changes mid way though.

[@xSEBROCKxstfu]

i love wall-e!!! i like it if he say: tadaaaa xD

[@1iLsweety]

Yes, when he say Sam - so cute *-*

[@ilovepaulfrank]

This video makes me happy!

I love the 'ta daaaa!!'

[@Birdzinga_]

I love wall-e

[@paperchasindude6578]

Me too

[@SlugeMalle]

So freakin cute ! 8D "Ta-daah!"

[@dogman15]

Whenever a real-life person talks with the WALL-E robot, they almost always ask about his "love interest", just so WALL-E can say "EVE-a".

[@SpideyGirl37]

Now I know Johnny 5 came first but this little guy is just so cute! Go Wall-E!!!

[@tiedyebandanachick]

Aside from the green screen glitch in :43, I think they planned this out pretty well. I think it's pretty cool to see adults like that interact with Wall-E for audiences of their broadcast, especially if there's kids watching too.

[@KrazyKitsuneXin]

There is an actual robot, but on green screen, they show it if you look close. God it's adorable

[@HAFanForever]

That is so cute how WALL-E says "Sam!"

[@femoman]

OK, it is official. WALL-E is the best, coolest and cutest character that has ever come out of Pixar, closely followed by Remy the Rat

[@zathos8724]

my favorite part is the "Ta Dahhh!!"

[@BlueBird1994_]

0:51 the way Wall E said "Ev-aah" reminds me of a Furby... xD

[@trondy89]

"tadaaa" seriously thats just epic cute! xD

[@LacyAntonio]

Thats SOOO cute...I WANT ONE!!! and TADA....lol!

[@lebruce76]

i love it when he says tadaa!! :D

[@brnleague99]

I LOVE that noise he makes at :38. God this cracks me up. And Pogo, I cried too. LOL.

[@YawnGod]

Thanks for showing us the green screen, guys.

[@-Poka-]

Thanks for the interview, Sam, That was truly amazing

[@abab999ab]

HOW AWESOME! HE'S SO ADORABLE!

[@isthisforreal04]

WALL-e is amazing

[@sebastiansarver773]

i love you wall e

[@hkkorly]

I lol'd so hard when I saw the green screen at :44

[@eagleeyedcreations]

As for the waving, it does do it, however as the prop would be controlled by complex remote control or computer. In this clip alone I see individual control needs for: left track(its feet), right track eyes raise and lower head tilt, head turn left arm up and down, right arm up and down left hand open and close, right hand open and close left arm extend (gets longer when it hides), right arm extends left hand turn, right hand turn body raise from back and at least 20 different audio files

[@chompet123]

Wall-E really talks to people and is very smart! I want one! I'll take two wall-e's!

[@glennka1]

I want an Wall - E in my livin room! :D He is so damn cute

[@dogman15]

The best part was when he said Sam's name like "SAAM".

[@Anukii]

1:30 Oh my God, that was adorable!

[@darkspy73]

[@beatlechum40]

[@kranktank]

The background that looks like a bank of monitors with blue walls looks exactly like the interior of a bad guy base in City of Heroes. ...also, cute robot

[@Snaporaznik]

How can this guy be proud of his job..? This man will wake up in sweat one day thinking: "what the hell happened to my dreams of becoming an serious reporter?"

[@NUSORCA]

Wow that was a decade ago

[@90rickardo]

[@TheGodstree]

[@user-nn9rg4dw6c]

Yeas

[@CatPianoClassics]

he gurgled like over 9000 times!!!!!!

[@kiwi_sodas]

I WILL GIVE ANYTHING TO HAVE THIS I S2G

[@eagleeyedcreations]

As this WALL·E prop is very complex in terms of operation, it would likely be animated via macros (multiple events that go in sequence as programmed) and the shake hand macro may not have been loaded. The prop already had multiple macros to perform and the shake was seemingly unexpected, as was the dancing. You could tell the operator was using manual controls during that sequence. Disclaimer: This is only my guess, I have never seen the bot in person or know how this particular one operates.

[@bobbywhalen4866]

1:15 Wall-E: SAM.
