WALL-E: Build A Bot!

We're still about 3 months away from the release of the WALL-E movie here. Translations and dubbing take a lot of time, especially for a major release like WALL-E, but from everything we've heard from our overseas readers and friends, the movie is definitely well worth the wait.

In the meantime, we've been satisfying our WALL-E urges by tracking down websites devoted to the movie. One that caught our attention is the 'Build-A-Bot' section on the official Disney movie website. Targeted at younger fans, 'Build-A-Bot' enables you to select parts for your robot - like the body, movement platform, color scheme, and sounds - then use it to compete in an online game. While the execution is extremely well done, the robot build and game only held our attention for a short while. It was fun, but not compelling enough to draw us back to the site over and over again.
