Trivia: When EVE unsuccessfully scans the porta-potty for plant life (in the shot immediately before scanning the Apollo command module), it sounds as if she rattles off a very un-ladylike "F-bomb" in disgust. Turn up the volume to hear it. Fairly prominent in the version that airs on the Starz cable channel. (00:20:30)

Trivia: "A113" is the code for AUTO's directive to stop the humans returning to earth. This is a reference to the classroom at the California Institute of the Arts where character animation is taught and is placed in films as an inside joke by many alumni of the course, appearing, for example, in every Pixar film to date.

Trivia: When Wall-E opens his truck for the first time in the film, we see several wide shots of the interior. In the first close up shot of the shelves containing Wall-E's treasures, there is a shelf containing two bowling pins. Look between the heads of the pins and you can see Rex from Toy Story sitting on the shelf between them. (00:06:05)
Answer: It certainly wasn't intentional, although the director, Andrew Stanton, has acknowledged that he did see Short Circuit many years ago and agrees that it could well have been a subconscious influence. WALL-E was principally designed with the job that he does in mind - the design brief was to consider WALL-E as an appliance first, what he would need to look like in order to do his job efficiently, then work out how to read emotion into the character after that. Stanton has stated that the chief inspiration for WALL-E's eyes came from a pair of binoculars, which he decided looked happy or sad depending on which way up they were.
