Prince Caspian & WALL-E at WonderCon

Lots of reports out now from WonderCon. Aint it Cool News and Slashfilm have very detailed reports, so go check them out. (Warning: Possible Spoilers).

I'm going to list some of the more interesting details, so if you don't wish to be spoiled stop reading now.

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian:
~ Pre-production has already started on Voyage of the Dawn Treader and Howard Berger the Creature Supervisor hopes to do all 7 books providing the Box Office stays strong.

5 minute clip was from Prince Caspian:
- Footage was a very rough cut with incomplete effects. A sword fight between Peter and King Miraz was shown.

WALL-E:
~ They aren't planning on a 3-D release, but Andrew Stanton says that it's a possibility.

~ John Ratzenberger will be in WALL-E as a character creatively named John.

~ The Pizza Planet Truck will be featured in the first 20 minutes of the film.

~ Andrew Stanton states that WALL-E is a love story at heart.

~ WALL-E like Luxo Jr. is a machine first, a character second. Emotions can be brought forth by just its design.

~ WALL-E's design was inspired from playing with a pair of binoculars.

4 Clips were also shown for WALL-E (Go check out the reports above for more details):
- A day in the life clip, with similar shots from the trailer.
- WALL-E showing Eve his pad. Shows her items such as a mounted bass, bubble wrap, light bulb, Rubix Cube, and "Hello Dolly" playing on the television. The "Hello Dolly" scene sounds really cute in particular.
- WALL-E stows away on a recovery ship.
- WALL-E trying to be sent back to Earth.
