Angus MacLane was the directing animator on WALL-E, the latest film from Pixar.
The story is about the last robot left on Earth many years into the future, after mankind has evacuated onboard a giant spaceship.
Named WALL-E (Waste Allocation Load Lifter-Earth class), he organises the giant mounds of waste that litter the planet, with only a cockroach for company.
But when a new robot named EVE (Extraterrestrial Vegetation Evaluator) visits Earth, he starts to have feelings for her and soon discovers where the humans have gone.
Since it was released in the US last month it has got rave reviews and topped the box office.
I recently spoke to Angus about his role, the challenges animating the robots and what it is like to work at Pixar.
