I haven't seen the movie yet, but i have seen many promos for Wall-E and I think the robot looks like a smaller version of the robot in Short Circuit. (Showing my age.  )
Does anyone agree?

^^^ OMG YES! I was terrified of that robot since childhood (can't even recall why anymore) and when I saw the first life-size display for Wall-E earlier this year that's what I thought it was. (My bf did too). I was like, why do I have to relive this nightmare?! (Thankfully, I quickly realized it was something else).

Just saw Wall-E this afternoon and absolutely loved it! It was packed to the brim with kids, half of which were asking their parents what was happening.

I completely agree. In fact, whenever I've been in a conversation about the movie and we are trying to get on the same page about what it is, someone (either myself or the other party) always uses the character in Short Circuit as a reference. In fact, my brother last night used the robots actual name when he was talking with my parents.

Even though I said we'd wait until opening weekend was over, we ended up seeing it yesterday because the Boy and the kid could not wait.
I think it depends on how old the kid is. Ours is only 3, so all he pays attention to is the robot. I enjoyed the themes, and am glad that Disney/Pixar went that route.
Makes me want to go rent "Hello, Dolly!" now!

Yeah, those of us that remember the 80s know that this movie has already been done - and it was called Short Circuit.
No disassemble! No disassemble!

While the robots look the same, this move has NOT "already been done."
The plots are in absolutely no way similar, except of course, that they feature robots.
