Wall-e

[steamboat will]

LEGO currently sell a Wall-E figure. In no way suitable for a 3 1\2 year old. But it's part of a range that is produced for a very limited time period. I'd grab one while you can. Hide it away for a few years and you have a awesome gift for the future. Even if Wall-E is no longer a favourite who doesn't love LEGO

Wow! I must find this. Thank you thank you thank you!

He is big into Legos. Makes mom assemble so he can play with final product!

For whatever reason, Disney seems to go to great lengths to pretend that WALL-E never happened.

But I don't understand why Disney would think that way. Wall-E is brilliant from beginning to end.

Maybe it didn't make enough money?

Makes me sad to think that robot is rotting in a warehouse somewhere. Looks like a lot of time was spent making it look so good! Why not get it out into the parks?

It hurts my heart that Wall-E isn't featured more, especially in Tomorrowland or Epcot.

They do have mugs and a few other things with him on them at the stores at Disney World, though!

I'm really surprised there is not more Wall-E at the parks especially at Tomorrowland. *I'm an "older" fan of Wall-E*

Really, the LEGO Wall-E isn't going to stand up to play. You would do better with this one:

Thanks for the reccomendation. We of course already have this one! The version with the remote. Santa was ever so kind to deliver it for xmas. None of the Legos stand up to to much play. Mama just rebuilds over and over. Yes I know I'm a glutton for punishment!

The Lego Wall-E is super cool. It was my husband's Christmas gift this year! I will say, it was pretty complicated to assemble. It took my fully adult and smart husband three sessions of over an hour each to get it put together. It is super cool though! I just wouldn't recommend it for any kid under the age of 9 or 10 honestly. It is also not a play object in our house and lives on top of our refrigerator because it would be a real pain to re-assemble if something happened to it. Totally cool and totally fun, but does not really fit into the toy category in my opinion. More of a collector's item.

We found a few Wall-E pins when we were there last summer. DH and DS are big Wall-E fans so we are always on the lookout too!

There are several Wall-E pins available right now in the parks.

I am so happy to see such love for Wall-E! We love it and are always disappointed there isn't more love for it when we visit the parks. I was last there right before Christmas 2015 and I can also confirm seeing several Wall-E pins and mugs, as well as the ornament which I have to pick up since I regret not doing so last time I was there. At our local Disney Store in Cherry Hill Mall (Cherry Hill NJ) they have several Wall-E items including the most adorable mugs ever. I too always thought maybe a Wall-E meet and greet would be "too much" for Disney to handle, but I just wish they were more prominent somehow.

And Enchanted!!! Two of our favorites and next to nothing in the parks for them.

Another one we adore! We went about a month after the movie was released and found a Barbie-like doll (can't remember if it actually was Mattel) of Patrick Dempsey's character Robert in his formal ball wear in World of Disney at DTD but after that, never again. I even took a picture with it! haha

ETA: if anyone ever sees a James Marsden as Prince Edward doll....please come find me hahaha

Yeah way too much for me!

My kids loved Wall E at 4 and 2. We watched it everyday at nap time and had a Wall E and Eve themed b-day party. I still have the Wilton Wall E bake pan. My youngest doesn't remember the Wall E phase and I showed him the movie last year. He immediately went and found the plush Wall E and Eve and put them in his room. I think the movies is lovely and not to scary for the younger crowd. I would love to see the Wall E robot going around the park.

Nope, the link I posted isn't the one with the remote. It's a little smaller and makes interactive sounds with a compatible EVE. It's much more play oriented.

There's apparently an Enchanted sequel in the works, so that's something!

Giselle will never be a presence in the parks, however, because - from what I recall - Amy Adams holds the rights to her own image. Disney, probably because it'd been a long time since they'd made a live action/cartoon, failed to lock those down. So, you'll never see an Amy Adams impersonator in the regular princess line up. I think most (or all) of the Giselle toy line has been discontinued, because she owned those rights as well.

(Correct me if I'm wrong, please!)

Maybe it didn't make enough money?

Or maybe Disney just doesn't want to remind people what happened to the human race in that movie - they over-indulged in consumer products and entertainment and became slothful and overweight, riding around in hover-scooters, sucking on big gulp style drinks.

Hard to really monetize that!

I assume that the whole concept of a Wall-E meet and greet would be too high tech for Disney to consider. It is much easier and much cheaper to dress someone up as Little John, (a character that few 5 year olds can identify with or relate to) and have them prance around the park than it is to create a sophisticated Wall-E interactive robot. For years there was a garbage-themed area in Innoventions teaching kids to reduce, reuse and recycle, sponsored by Waste Management.

It would have been great to introduce Wall-E into that environment to help the kids pick up the trash. But that ship has sailed.

My son loved this area! We visited the summer before it closed and just happen to be the year that he was totally in love with trash trucks! He is 10 now but I still remember how excited he was to do all of these little activities.

Ok, totally off topic but my son loved Wall-E when he was in K4. He is 10 now and even then, none of his friends had really even seen the movie. We watched it all the time. He would even "cube up" while playing at school but none of the other kids knew what he was doing! LOL We have a stuffed Wall-E and a remote control dancing Wall-E.

I thought my son was the only one who "cubed" amazing!!

Huge fan of Wall-e and Up, and I've never understood why Disney didn't market them more. Wall-e there is next to nothing of in the parks. At least we have Dug and Russell meet and greets in AK, and I believe there used to be Mr. Fredericksen too. I would love some Up merchandise though! Just recently they released a Dug plush with a "cone of shame." I've always wanted a Kevin or Russell plush and they don't have them though
