I saw Pixar's WALL-E on Disney Channel in thbis past length , finally seeing it full-length .
You see , when it came out theatrically , a blood sugar/sleeping pattern problem that I have at times in movie theaters checked its was in , and I dozed off maybe 1/3 to 1/2 in ~ and , furthermore , woke oup briefly , then dozed off again and awoke at the very end in a manner that left me with a somewhat incorrect impression of how the film's storyline works out . Now I know .
Didn't IDW put out at least one WALL-E comic miniseries ?
I forget whether the film came out before Disney pulled the plug on its 00s Disney Digest/Disney Comic Zone mass-market sold digests , which included brief comics spin-offs of Pixar films which came out when the title was running .
Was the IDW comic totally (or close to it) wordless or at least dialogue-less , as the film's first 50%-ish was ???
That attempt at such a formal concept made me think of the sort of " neo-Chaplinesque " things which some movie makers in the mid-Twentieth Century attempted .

They did put out a comic, I remember picking it up and it didn't really work for me in the same way as the film did. It showed how Wall-E became the last of the robots and didn't have the romance that I loved so in the movie. The dance in space between Wall-E and Eva is one of the more pure romantic scenes I think I've ever seen.
...Thank you . (Did I put this up before and it go down ???)
Was it a 100% silent , or heavily so , like the first 1/3 or so the film , dialogue-less (extremely light) ?????????

...Somethinng that I remember about Pixar that , however , I could not seem to find referred to in my skam of their Wikipedia page was that the Pixar myth , as it were , has a " golden youth who died young " , a member of the staff of Pixar who was there in the early years and closely involved in the putting together of all of the early features ~ but died young , of cancer of similar , but , since animated films take a long time to even plan and then lots of time to make , had been connected with Pixar films that were relased well into the 00s , anyway --- This person was the Edsel Ford/Stu Stutcliffe figure in the Pixar story , in a sense , the one who died young rather like " youth " movies (Rebel Without A Cause , Cooley High ) tend to have a character who dies , symbolically allowing the other teenagers can move on to adulthood* ~ This member of the original Pixar brains trust is memorialized by his survivors , he was connected with many early Pixar features .
However I have no memory who this early Pixar died-to-young was , and the Wientry , again , doesn't seem to say who he was .
Can anyone help me here , please ?
