Disney rolled in the little robot named Wall*E in time for its world premiere on June 21, 2008. The little guy traveled down the orange carpet in front of L.A.'s Greek Theatre. The premiere was held on a sweltering day where temperatures were in the 100s. But that didn't stop the stars coming out both in the nighttime sky, and in front of the press.

The guest of honor, Wall*E, is a real life little robot who could talk to reporters and roll around the orange carpet. Many guests, especially children, were excited to see the little robot perform. NASA and JPL also supplied exhibits. Guests of the premiere were taken to Griffith Park Observatory for an after-movie party.

My "cub" reporter, Alexandria, kept me and the other members of the press abreast of the stars arriving, as she always does.  Adrian Bailon, Bob Iger, John Ratzenberger, Cheech Marin, Kathy Najimy, Sigourney Weaver, John Lasseter, Ed Catmull, Roy E. Disney, Marty Sklar, Tony Baxter, Blair Underwood, Elissa Knight, Jeff Garlin, Buzz Aldren, Ben Burtt, director Andrew Stanton, and producer Jim Morris were all on-hand.

The movie opens on June 27, 2008.
