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!
