Interesting factoid: The person responsible for characterization of the "objects" in the movie based Wall-e's persona on Avril Lavigne. If you watch with that in mind, you can clearly see her mannerisms and expressions in the mostly-mechanical Wall-e's expressions and behavior. I was skeptical in spite of the developer's claim, but when I saw it I was amazed that such seemingly rudimentary geometry could so perfectly embody Avril Lavigne, who I am just cursorily familiar with. I think this is a technological feat of incredible genius. Also, I wondered why choose a female celebrity as a persona? I haven't found the answer to that yet, and at this time there has been no reply, positive or negative, from Avril Lavigne's management. I guess it would be classed as an "homage," since they do not steal from her, but only suggest her through Wall-e's movements and actions.
Anyway, I like Avril, though I don't listen to her music much, and I love Wall-e, who so perfectly embodies her that it is hard to watch the film again without her in mind (yes, even the romantic parts). Here's to them both, Avril and Wall-e!
