Streisand to Make Appearence in Next Pixar Movie

Well....a recording of her at least.

In a breif article explaining just what Pixar's bizzare 2008 release "WALL E" is about, it seems that a little bit of musical history will show up in WALL E's life as well....

" Over the centuries, this WALL E has collected an amazing array of human artifacts. Things like a Rubik's Cube, a lightbulb, a Playmate portable ice chest. But this robot's proudest possession is an old VCR. On which he plays -- over and over again -- a VHS copy of "Hello, Dolly !"

Now let's pause here for a moment and just think about that. Everything that this robot knows (Or -- more importantly -- thinks he knows) about mankind, he's either learned from picking through garbage and/or by watching a 700-year-old Barbra Streisand film."

..........

"with the exception of the music & the dialogue that we hear coming from that VCR that plays "Hello, Dolly !" -- that's it. The rest of this section of Pixar's 2008 release is (in effect) a silent movie."


I for one...can't wait.


Here's a link to the teaser that plays before Rata---whatever. (Also a very fun movie)

Whoops! I just added in the link to the source page. I know, right?! I have a feeling that the entire theatre will be in tears by the end of this movie.....

This film sounds fantastic, and a tremendously bold choice, something Pixar really needs now. They seem to be falling on a formula like Disney did in the late 90s.
