I'm behaving for the moment LOL I didn't go check out the shirts. I love the InterAction Eve though her and Wall.E are so cute when they talk to each other. My husband is totally smitten with her LOL she was definitely worth purchasing. Only place I"ve seen her besides ebay is disney online shopping.

I'm not going to buy any plush or anything myself = I figure that I'll be even easier to shop for for my family for b-day next year and christmas this year because all they have to do is get me either iTunes cards or Wall-e stuff LOL.

So I have to leave them something to get me! ROFL

I saw those, already have some eBay sellers lined up to get them from hehehe

Yeah I want to get both interactive Wall-E and Eve, they would be so cute together. I bet you are having so much fun with them, Bru! I will have mine on payday.

Though IF we do come to DL next week, I will get them at Little Green Men before Payday! Then I can spend all of my payday check on the rest of the Wall-E stuff! Ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.... :)

Okay, it is high noon in the Rockies and I just got off the phone with Marla at our local Disney Store. They are just now unpacking the boxes that contain the Wall-E merch. They have the 3 pin set and the Tee shirts for ADULTS!!!!!! and notebooks and other swag for the Wall-E lover! Everyone is getting excited about this movie, she said.

I am going to have to drag Ralph and his credit card up there today and get me some Wall-E!

YAY!!!!!! I have a few connections to sellers that will be picking up the DSF (Disney Soda Fountain) pins, 7 pins in all and they are so cute too! As Disneymom said, you can check Dizpins main page, they are listed and shown there. I should be getting them...I hope! :o: They are gonna be a hot item on eBay and I am hoping my seller will sell me the set before listing at eBay. I will have to get the two opening Day pins from eBay and there are two other Wall-E pins that are LE as well, those may be hard to find.

The other Wall-E swag? I will get that on my own at DL next week!!!!! IF we go.... :confused: and then I will have to order the rest of the fun stuff through TRU or Amazon. The eBay prices are too high for most of the toys. They like to jack the price up. Right now they are very high. They will go down, when the shoping sites get flooded with all these items and there will be so many to pick from. I still like to buy from the trusted sites, like TRU and Amazon. You can take chances with eBay.

I can see that there will be so much Wall-E merch out there for a long time, that I can buy it at my leisure and get the best prices. We have not even seen anything yet, I can tell. This merchandising is gonna be HUGE!!!!!! There will be so much to choose from...I just want the interactive and the big one and the action figures and pins...for now....teeheehee

Wall-E rules!!!! :wall-e:

Here is a review I found about Wall-E...
I tell you this is gonna be the biggest thing! I also saw a site that showed that big Wall-E that Hobie linked the video of...it said that that was the Wall-E that would be in the Disney Parks doing meet-n-greets...in a sense. They are supposed to have him wandering around the Parks from what I hear.
The El Cap will be a nightmare on the 27th. We are probably not gonna get in there. I am hoping that they will be showing it at the DtD theatres after that, on the 28th, We will catch it then.

I am NOT gonna go hang around the El Cap just to see the preview of this. And they probably have a red carpet showing anyway and us peons won't be able to get in. Just the big celebrities! Anyone from DL know anything about the preview at the El Capitan of Wall-E????

Wall-E review

Post by Princess Susi » Thu Jun 19, 2008 4:13 pm

Wall-E; The New Pixar Classic :wall-e:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quote:
About that AICN WALL*E Screening Tonight...
Hey folks, Harry here... I can't tell you about arguably the best film Walt Disney has ever had its name on - and I certainly can't go into how it is one of the absolute best hard science fiction films made in my adult life - and I won't be able to go on and on about how it's an incredible work of speculative future mythology the likes of which, I've never seen... whilst also being wildly entertaining and thought-provoking to literally all ages. I can't go into any of that, because I am under Embargo till the day of release. And the host of reviews that are coming in from our screening tonight... well, they're Embargoed right now too... even though they say things like:
"Masterpiece. That's it. That's truth in one word. WALL*E is a masterpiece. It tells its story with economy, with little dialogue, but there is no question what is going on. It's like a Buster Keaton silent film mixed with the wonder of the original STAR WARS and the morals of the best fables, except this moral is an imperative one, and one to which we must pay attention. It's emotional, but not overly so. For children, it is instantly accessible, maybe more so than a film with more dialogue, because it's from the character's actions that the story is propelled. WALL*E and EVE and the rest of the robots are unique characters and they do it with deeds, not words." - Nordling

and
"This film is gorgeous. The scenes in the trailer don't even approach how amazingly beautiful the film is. I teared up three times during the movie. Twice was due to the story, but one time was just from how amazingly unbelievably gorgeous the film is. And these were scenes I'd seen before at BNAT! Some of them are even in the trailers I've seen dozens of times! They were still amazing enough that I cried just from how beautiful they were." - The Abstruse One

and
"Thanks to Pixar, I have no choice but to go into wild, unrestrained
hyperbole regarding their new film, the animated sci-fi adventure love
story titled Wall-E. Ready? Here we go.
Visionary. Emotional. Fantastic. A Must-See. A Thrill Ride. Romantic.
Eye-Popping. Incredible. Instant Classic. The best Pixar film ever
made. Let that sink in for a minute.
The best. THE. BEST." - John Gholson


Review continued below...very long, would not fit in one post:

Wall-E review

Post by Princess Susi » Thu Jun 19, 2008 4:15 pm

Review continued....


However - what I can tell you about was the audience reaction tonight. I had about 15 Families with kids there tonight. The rest of the audience was pretty hardcore science fiction geeks ages ranging from their twenties to their sixties. People that love their BLADE RUNNER, SILENT RUNNING, ROBOCOP, CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND, STAR WARS & 2001 fans. I had folks that grew up with The Next Generation, Babylon 5, SeaQuest DSV and that sort of stuff. There were also folks that loved ASTRO BOY, GIGANTOR, TOBOR THE EIGHTMAN, Then there were far more of the audience that were card carrying passionate lovers of Asimov, Heinlein, Gibson, Phillip K. Dick, Ellison and the other classic authors of speculative fiction and science fiction. We had a man working on the next generation of Hybrid cars for a major automotive company - that drove 9 hours from a secret location. I had a group of 5 friends that work at NASA. And then of course I had a few Pixar mega-geeks. But they were in the minority.
I can't tell you about the audience during the film... for me, I had only the screen and my own consciousness... which was some 700 years into the future. But when the movie ended there was thunderous applause. Myself - there were at least 6 moments of applause throughout the film. But then the credits ran... and the end credits are kinda masterful in their own rite - and after all the credits ran... after the last frame in the gate ran through... the audience thunderously applauded again - and in a daze I turned around to see 220 people in their seats - stunned. Dazed. Goofy grins, slack jaws and utterly flabbergasted - because nothing they saw in trailers, nothing from the posters and all the "cute" bits with WALL*E prepared them for just how awe-inspiring and brilliant the film that had just played... played. Afterwards, kids were playing like WALL*E and adults were having high-minded conversations about the science fiction, mythological elements and the romance. Their faces were windswepted and when everyone walked out of the theater - we pretty much all looked up at the sky with wonder.
I wouldn't say PIXAR has done it again, because honestly... They've never ever made a film this great before. Don't get me wrong - I love love love the TOY STORYS, MONSTER INC, RATATOUILLE and THE INCREDIBLES... but this... This was gasp inducing. But... you'll see soon enough - and when Moriarty and the rest of us can finally tell you just how astonishing this film is... we will... and when you see it... you'll tell everyone you know, pretty much the same. This single handedly made me forget every other film I've seen this year. I've seen WALL*E and I can't wait to do so again.


I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THIS MOVIE!!!!!! :wall-e:
