BURN E SHORT STREAMING MOVIE

The light spire that he welds was not originally in the shot. There were things that were changed in that one shot in WALL However, no plot points were changed in the feature to make the short work. Q: At what point during the development of Wall-E did you start planning the story of BURN-E? Did they construct any plot points in the feature to facilitate the short, or vice versa?Ī.M.: I came up with and started boarding the short approximately 5 months before WALL Oddly enough the scene from the feature that sparked the original idea for BURN We cut whatever wasn't funny or slowed the pace down.

Q: How did you go about choosing scenes from Wall-E that Burn-E could impact? Did you have to scrap any ideas that just wouldn't fit with the existing story?Ī.M.: I came up with as many places in the movie as I could think of to cut back to. After the story was approved, Andrew asked if I would be interested.

Andrew liked the idea of the DVD short being about BURN Q: How did you get selected to direct BURN-E? Now that you've done it, what would you do differently?Ī.M.: I think it was opportunity met with preparation. I wanted to answer that question with this short. After I had animated the shot with him in the feature I wanted to know what happened to him.

Q: Why'd you decide to give Burn-E of all the characters in Wall-E his own short?Ī.M.: I thought he was a fun character to animate.

E Story handed me a drawing he had done of the word BURN.

About two days later Jim Reardon, the head of WALL Q: How hard was it to think of a name that sounded like a robot but was a pun for a human name (Bernie)?Ī.M.: His name internally had been 'Repair Bot' When I started the short, I envisioned him as being called WELD I'd probably do the same thing were I not involved. I do love that geeks pick up on this and I am happy to be creating this controversy.

A which is more accurate to the feature and is not funny at all.

The name BURN-E is funny and breaks the continuity of the film or BURN Now put yourself in my shoes- you have to name this robot.

E was a robot on earth that then was installed on the Axiom, but A: I would be lying and B: What is the point? If that is the biggest problem you have with the film, then I have done my job.

E stands for 'Earth-Class' and the 'A' would be the appropriate 'Axiom-Class'.

I have since heard from some people that it actually be BURN

E stands for: Basic Utility Repair Nano Engineer.

Q: WALL-E stands for Waste Allocation Load Lifter, Earth class.
