Pixar’s Andrew Stanton, director of WALL-E, was present at this year’s WonderCon to speak about and show new WALL-E clips to the people in attendance.

So here are some of the highlights, provided by ComingSoon:

WALL-E stands for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class.

Earth is buried in trash from over consumption and embarks on a 5 year space cruise to wait out the clean up efforts. Something goes wrong and they are gone for 700 years. The clean up effort fails as all the machines left, fall apart. WALL-E is the last one left.

EVE is a probe droid that is sent down to check out the planet, and WALL-E falls in love with her. Everything revolves around his pursuit of her.

Ben Burt (Star Wars) is doing the sound design.

Mr. Stanton also showed several clips from the movie:

Day in the Life of WALL-E.
