Ben
Burtt demonstrates how he made Wall-E

“Ben Burtt demonstrates how
he made Wall-E come to life and
answers a ton of questions. This was a
presentation I attended at Pixar and
its seriously amazing to watch Ben as
he demos how he made all the Wall-E
sounds and what he bought on eBay to
get new sounds. If youre a fan of
Wall-E and Star Wars, I really
recommend watching some of this.”
