<P> Stanton, who is a Christian, named EVE after the Biblical figure because WALL - E's loneliness reminded him of Adam, before God created his wife . Dreher noted EVE's biblical namesake and saw her directive as an inversion of that story; EVE uses the plant to tell humanity to return to Earth and move away from the "false god" of BnL and the lazy lifestyle it offers . Dreher also noted this departure from classical Christian viewpoints, where Adam is cursed to labor, in that WALL - E argues hard work is what makes humans human . Dreher emphasized the false god parallels to BnL in a scene where a robot teaches infants "B is for Buy n Large, your very best friend", which he compared to modern corporations such as McDonald's creating brand loyalty in children . Megan Basham of World magazine felt the film criticizes the pursuit of leisure, whereas WALL - E in his stewardship learns to truly appreciate God's creation . </P> <P> During writing, a Pixar employee noted to Jim Reardon that EVE was reminiscent of the dove with the olive branch from the story of Noah's Ark, and the story was reworked with EVE finding a plant to return humanity from its voyage . WALL - E himself has been compared to Prometheus, Sisyphus, and Butades: in an essay discussing WALL - E as representative of the artistic strive of Pixar itself, Hrag Vartanian compared WALL - E to Butades in a scene where the robot expresses his love for EVE by making a sculpture of her from spare parts . "The Ancient Greek tradition associates the birth of art with a Corinthian maiden who longing to preserve her lover's shadow traces it on the wall before he departed for war . The myth reminds us that art was born out of longing and often means more for the creator than the muse . In the same way Stanton and his Pixar team have told us a deeply personal story about their love of cinema and their vision for animation through the prism of all types of relationships ." </P> <P> Continuing a Pixar tradition, WALL - E was paired with a short film for its theatrical release, Presto . The film was dedicated to Justin Wright (1981--2008), a Pixar animator who had worked on Ratatouille and died of a heart attack before WALL - E's release . </P> <P> Walt Disney Imagineering (WDI) built animatronic WALL - E's to promote the picture, which made appearances at Disneyland Resort, the Franklin Institute, the Miami Science Museum, the Seattle Center, and the Tokyo International Film Festival . Due to safety concerns, the 318 kg robots were always strictly controlled and WDI always needed to know exactly what they were required to interact with . For this reason, they generally refused to have their puppets meet and greet children at the theme parks in case a WALL - E trod on a child's foot . Those who wanted to take a photograph with the character had to make do with a cardboard cutout . </P>
