    That is a awsome cutout, cutouts can be so much as seen in this article. I actually work for a company that makes cardboard cutouts and we can add a interactive talking unit to any of them, that has a motion sensor so you can record your messeges. it is a great way to promote anything you want, we can make cutouts of your picture or design and you can make it talk. check us out at our site

    Robbie the robot of Forbidden Planet fame; gave me hope for the future. I have severe PTSD aquired when I was growing up and yet today I am retired and moderatly well off. I suggest that Wall-e can be used to bring kids like me out of thier shell and into the real world. Thanks guys for a job well done.

    Does anyone know what Wall-E's official size is? I ask because my theater actually has two standees for the movie, the one mentioned in this article with a large talking Wall-E sitting on his box, and another that's a bench with Wall-E and Eve on it--but the Wall-E on the bench is much smaller. Is either of them supposed to be Wall-E's "real" size in the movie? Personally, I think the small one looks more accurate, but this article mentions him being three feet tall, so I'm a little confused.

    Ryan do you know if your theater can give away the Standee of Wall-E? Or how much? Either one would be great. Please let me know. Thanks

    I could ask the managers, but I don't know how easy it would be to ship it to you! Plus, people keep breaking the arms off the small Wall-E.

    I work at a theater as well. It is my understanding that the movie companies forbid theaters from doing anything other than destroying posters and standees once they are no longer needed. Some theaters will allow employees to take posters home, such as mine does, and I'd guess they'd probably let us take a standee home if we had some way of removing it from the premises ourselves. I am very doubtful that any theater would let you take a standee if you didn't work there though, even if they didn't want it anymore. Your best bet if you really want a WALL E standee is to find a theater that has one and get a job there, at least until the standee is available. Or you could offer to pay an employee to get the standee and then drop it off at your house or something.

    I would like to take the standee at my theater, but I don't really have anywhere to put it and it would probably get moldy and stale after a while. But I hope one of my coworkers takes it because I don't want to see him get destroyed. ;)

    Chris, I'd be interested in acquiring that Wall-E display if you got a hold of it and didn't want it. I'd be willing to pay for shipment if you're open to the idea.
