Who is WALL-E?
WALL-E's first act runs close to forty minutes with almost no dialogue, which for a major studio animated film aimed at children was an extraordinary thing to attempt. Andrew Stanton has said the pitch was essentially a silent film, and the studio let him make it. The character has no face in any conventional sense — a pair of binocular eyes on a stalk, no mouth, no eyebrows — so every emotion is carried by the angle of those eyes and by sound. Ben Burtt built the voice, and it is worth noting he also built R2-D2's thirty years earlier, making him the person most responsible for how audiences hear robots feel. Underneath the romance the film is a fairly severe piece of environmental argument, and the studio was reportedly nervous about how bleak the opening is.

What WALL-E looks like on a shirt
Signature motif: A boxy rusted compactor robot with binocular eyes on a stalk
The eyes-on-a-stalk silhouette is unmistakable and reads at any size with no face detail. Weathered yellow and rust against dusty blue is a distinctive palette in a category that mostly runs saturated — it suits natural, sand and heather garments.
