Buy N Large Robotics - Fictional Robot Vendor of the Future
From the makers of the forthcoming Wall-E sanitation robot, Buy n Large Robotics promises to bring us Sall-E the vaccubot, Gar-E the yardbot (fully automated yard solution), Nanc-E the Nannybot (every aspect of your child’s health and happiness has been addressed) and Wend-E the (washing, drying, folding) washbot.
What could make for better eye-candy than personal robots as rendered by Pixar?
They’ve put together a fun shiny (marketing) site for next summer’s CGI robot movie, Wall-E. News tidbits from the site include Buy n Large plans for offering multi-tiered police service, the Buy n Large Xanadou Shopping Euphoria Pill, the “Ms. Nancy” line of teaching robots, and the “BnL Artificial Mate.”
Teaser trailers for Wall-E are here and here.
As for the robots, well, please put me down for one of each.

Eerie. It’s like the Wal-Mart version of the Year Zero ARG.
I’m with you on that.
It also reminded me a bit of Idiocracy too.
“Welcome to Costco; I love you.”
Ugh- Idiocracy was SUCH a let down. Wall-E looks great, and the lack of dialog is extremely intriguing. Those promo cards are cool. I’m anticipating some beautiful animation the likes of which ye has never seen!
