Yup, it is shocking but it is true, Wall-E that we all fell in love with in summer of
2008 has striking design similarities with Johnny5, a robot from 1980's movie
'Short Circuit'.
As shown in the pic above, you can't but think the two are similar in design. Wall-E
is cuter in design, but it should be noted that Johnny5 was created in 1980's and
it is non-animated feature movie whereas Wall-E was created in 2008 and in
animation.
Similarities- Binocular eyes, both are adorable, Tank like treads that both use to move about, design of hands and the overall look
Diffrences- Wall-E has extending arms, Johnny5 is pretty tall, Wall-E falls in love ;) .
'Short Circuit' has a sequel too, that was even better in terms of story. If you want to checkout Short Circuit movie, here's a concise plot. A robot of type-5 gets struck by lightning once, after which it starts to understand things and starts to emote and discover world around him.
Johnny 5 soon realises if he gets into the hands of it's manufacturing factory, he will be reprogrammed. Later parts of the film shows his struggle to escape reboot with the help of a young girl.
"But is the plot similar too?" you may ask. Umm, not exactly but in 'Wall-e' and 'Short circuit 2' there is a sequence where the protagonist machionery stops working and it works after many repairs.
'Wall-E' has renewed interest in 'Short Circuit-3' and it is said the new movie is underway. But the fact remains that Wall-E is a great film, one of the best made by 'Pixar' till date.
