05/12/2008: "Was Eve Apple inspired?"
An article featured on Fortune reveals that the design for the character Eve in Disney/Pixar’s upcoming Wall•E was inspired by the look of such Apple products as the iPod. “I wanted Eve to be high-end technology - no expense spared - and I wanted it to be seamless and for the technology to be sort of hidden and subcutaneous,” said director Andrew Stanton. “The more I started describing it, the more I realized I was pretty much describing the Apple playbook for design.” Wall•E hits theaters on June 27th.
