Pixar's WALL-E: The Next Great Drain On Parent's Pocketbooks Everywhere

Parents, prepare yourselves for Pixar's newest offering -- WALL-E -- coming in June to delight your children and drain dry your financial resources with its many related products and by-products. The film's stilted official plot synopsis, for your synopsisizing enjoyablementation, follows:

The year is 2700. WALL•E, a robot, spends every day doing what he was made for. But soon, he will discover what he was meant for. From Academy Award®-winning director, Andrew Stanton (Finding Nemo), WALL•E is the story of one robot’s comic adventures as he chases his dream across the galaxy.

Basically it boils down to a cute, lonely robot finding love with another cute robot. And my daughter is gonna eat that shit up, of course. Those Pixar people are evil geniuses, I tell ya.

Full theatrical trailer of wide-eyed robocuteness after the jump... If you're smart, you'll start socking away pennies now in preparation for your kid's WALL-E  -related needs come June. Jus sayin'.

Is it just me, or does Wall-E look like Short Circuit's Number 5?

I daren't show Tom this trailer. I'll have not a damn minutes peace until June.

Well, I'm 28 and have no children, and I already want WALL-E bedsheets. That robot is frickin adorable, you guys.

Dude, if this will get Noah off his Incredibles obsession (over and over and over with that one! I used to love it! Now I hide the DVD in the vegetable drawer!), I'm so ready.

I'ts not just you, Kristen. That is TOTALLY Johnny 5.

Steve Guttenberg is gonna be SO PISSED. On the other hand, if we got to see some Ben Jabituya, the whole thing could be forgiven.

Number 5 is alive!

So... where can I go to preorder my Wall-E bedsheets?
