Angus MacLane<\/strong><\/a> was the directing animator on WALL-E<\/strong><\/a>, the latest film from Pixar<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The story is about the last robot left on Earth many years into the future, after mankind has evacuated onboard a giant spaceship.<\/p>\n

Named WALL-E (W<\/strong>aste A<\/strong>llocation L<\/strong>oad L<\/strong>ifter-E<\/strong>arth class), he organises the giant mounds of waste that litter the planet, with only a cockroach for company.<\/p>\n

But when a new robot named EVE (E<\/strong>xtraterrestrial V<\/strong>egetation E<\/strong>valuator) visits Earth, he starts to have feelings for her and soon discovers where the humans have gone.<\/p>\n

Since it was released in the US last month it has got rave reviews<\/a> and topped the box office<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I recently spoke to Angus about his role, the challenges animating the robots and what it is like to work at Pixar.<\/p>\n
