Disneys Wall-E Cheap Johnny 5 Rip
Tags:Johnny 5, Pixar, Robots, Short Circuit, the 80s
Disney Pixar started airing advertisments for its upcoming movie Wall-E. The problem is the main character is a total Rip of Johnny-5 from Short Circuit! See for yourself:
In 2010 a Short Circuit remake is due to come out. Ironically young kids who become familiar with Wall-E might think Johnny-5 is a cheap rip, when its the other way around! Wall-E is a bastardized reincarnate of a robot icon from the 80s!
Fisher Stevens played an excellent Indian Guy in SC2! (before Indians were allowed to play roles as themselves). “Johnny-5 is alive!” I hope his character is in the remake!
Growing up in the 80s I was nuts about Robots. On my fifth birthday I received like 4 different battery operated Robots. There was also transformers. Robocop and gobots (which was an attempt to ride on the robot craze). Here’s some of that 80s magic:
