Pixar Fan Builds Own Life-size Wall-E Robot

A fan of the Pixar film Wall-E wasn’t just satisfied with watching the robot on screen and built his own – from scratch.

Mike Senna’s real-life Wall-E moves and talks but unlike the charming garbage-man on screen, this robot will not pick up your waste.

It took the computer programmer two and a half years to build the robot in his home in Orange Country, California.

As there were no ready-made parts available Mr Senna had to construct every part from nothing.

He spent an estimated 3,200-3,800 hours on Wall-E – over 25 hours per week – outside of his day job to complete the Pixar hero.

The 2008 film was named the best film if the decade by Time magazine and tells the story of a robot on a futuristic planet Earth programmed to clean up its litter strewn surface after all humans have left to live in space.

However, Wall-E abandons his mission for the love of another robot named EVE as he follows her into space.
