Marketing
The first trailer for WALL-E debuted with the theatrical release of its immediate predecessor, Ratatouille. It begins with an introduction by director Andrew Stanton saying in the summer of 1994 there was a lunch where he, John Lasseter, Pete Docter, and the late Joe Ranft talked about the films that would follow the almost-complete Toy Story. Their ideas evolved into A Bug's Life, Monsters, Inc., and Finding Nemo. WALL-E was their last discussion that day, and then the teaser begins.
It features a selection from the song Brazil, by Ary Barroso, and a scene with WALL-E performing his duties of garbage compacting and watching the starry sky. When the WALL-E logo appears , he says his name , demonstrating how electronic his voice is.
The tag line of this trailer is After 700 years of doing what he was built for — He'll discover what he was meant for.
A fake commercial based on the film is included in the Ratatouille video game.[3] It shows that WALL-E stands for Waste Allocation Load Lifter - Earth-class. and is sold by a fictional company called Buy and Large Corporation (Buy N Large). The catch phrase is Working to dig you out. There is a 'disclaimer' at the end that mentions www.buynlarge.com a web site for the fictional company featured in the movie.
