Johnny 5 vs. Wall-E


Tonight we decided to watch Short Circuit - the movie we thought was a nostalgic piece of our childhood (though it turns out, Short Circuit 2 must have been the one we all remember). We could not concentrate because Johnny 5 bears an undeniably striking resemblance to Wall-E. I mean, they must have done this on purpose! There is no way that this "new" Pixar version of a robot is not a direct reference to our childhood friend, which I think is also brilliant of them, since their audience almost equally includes adults in my age range. I swear I thought of this all on my own, but several sites have mentioned it, including funnyordie.com, which has a hilarious post on the subject.
