Interview with Wall-E Director, Andrew Stanton

Posted June 27, 2008 * Comments(0)

AVC: How much concern was there over having a lead character who essentially doesn’t talk?

AS: None. Very early on, we were completely excited by the idea; we just didn’t have the confidence to try it until later. That’s what I love about Pixar; it’s an artist-driven studio, so we never even think about whether it’s commercial or demographic or anything like that. We really trust the filmgoer in ourselves, and go, “Lookit, I would love to see a movie like that.” And if the rest of your buddies say “I would too,” well, that’s all it takes. And then we make it.
