Wall-E or Johnny 5?

ok, so there's this new movie out called Wall-E.....i haven't seen it yet, but i know at least 2 of my readers have taken their kids to see it & i hear it's a cute movie.....


well, i have a question....

isn't this just a Short Circuit remake?!


isn't Wall-E actually Johnny 5 (only shorter)?!

am i the only one that remembers these old movies (there was a Short Circuit 2 too)?!

i LOVED these movies as a kid - the sequel more than the original.....and come on, don't u think the resemblance is a little more than coincidental? but i haven't seen/heard anything mentioning Short Circuit & it having anything to do with the creation of Wall-E???

I totally thought that WallE looked just like Short Circut too! But I don't remember what Short Circut actually did- his purpose. WallE has an overall good theme.

My boys loved WallE too. They saw a preview of it back in May and talked about going to see it constantly. Samuel remembered the opening date and would talk about it daily when we looked at the calendar.

It's been so long since I saw Short Circuit... but if I remember correctly, he was built for the military? I suppose WallE is kind of taking Johnny5 and recreating his character.

Not to be a spoilsport or anything, but I'm a bit bothered by all the movies that give us humans a bad name, or things that assume that humans don't belong on planet Earth! I know we're not perfect, but let's assume every now and then that we MIGHT have some good intentions!
