Video: Real-Life Wall-E Walks, Talks, and Dances Just For You!

When I was a kid, I really wanted my own robot. And I don’t mean a toy one like Teddy Ruxpin; I wanted a REAL robot, one that did things of his own accord and got into all kinds of madcap adventures. If I could have had my own Johnny 5, I would have been the happiest kid alive. Of course, that didn’t happen; but maybe that’s why I enjoyed Wall-E so much when it came out. Wall-E was kind of like a smaller, less vocal version of Johnny 5, and boy was he cute! Who WOULDN’T want their own real-life Wall-E?

Well, guess what? This guy made one. For reals. DJ Sures took a Wall-E toy and made a real-life, working Wall-E out of it. And it’s AMAZING. This little robot responds to voice commands, can be remote-controlled, and often does things of his own volition. He sings; he dances; he plays with a ball; and if you take the ball away, he gets sad. It’s super cute, and super awesome. Do you think DJ Sures will make one for me if I ask nicely?
