The eponymous and beloved character in WALL-E is being brought to life, but all of his motor parts are made of chocolate. The Pixar animated sci-fi movie, directed by Andrew Stanton of Finding Nemo, was released in 2008 and achieved commercial success, as well as awards recognition. Portraying a distant future and the ruination of Earth, WALL-E explores a trash-compacting robot and his relationship with the android known as EVE. Ben Burtt and Elissa Knight voice WALL-E and EVE, respectively, while other cast members include Jeff Garlin, Kathy Najimy, Fred Willard, and Sigourney Weaver.
Chocolatier Amaury Guichon, who has become famous online for creating impressive 3D versions of objects, has now fashioned WALL-E out of chocolate. Sharing a video of the process on Instagram, Guichon began molding the eyes, which included making glᴀss-like specs. He then ᴀssembled the tracks and body of WALL-E, before adding the particular colors and name, along with some other details, and eventually putting it all together. Check out how Guichon brings WALL-E to life below:

What This Means For WALL-E
The Pixar Film Remains Popular
Since being released, WALL-E has been considered among the best movies to come out of Pixar, boasting dazzling animation and serving as a commentary on human beings. Despite mostly following robotic characters, WALL-E explores the potential impact of consumption, the mistreatment of Earth, and other relevant issues, making it effective for wider audiences. The film went on to earn six Academy Award nominations, including winning for Best Animated Feature, and currently holds a score of 95% on Rotten Tomatoes.
In 2008, WALL-E proved successful at the box office, generating more than $521 million globally. While not one of the highest-earning Pixar movies, it still managed to be profitable and garner a sizable fanbase, but surprisingly, a sequel was never released. Over the years, audiences seem to remain fond of the endearing robot and his romance with EVE. A follow-up may be unlikely now, but considering the popularity of WALL-E, perhaps the animated film could get a live-action treatment.
Our Take On The WALL-E Chocolate Art
Could This Resemble A Live-Action Robot?
One of the most impressive things about Guichon’s 3D art is that, when completed, it does not look like chocolate. Now, bringing the character of WALL-E to life may propel questions about a possible live-action adaptation and how the robot would appear. WALL-E occurs in outer space and recent remakes have been hit or miss, but because Pixar has not adapted any of its movies, a live-action version seems improbable. However, the large chocolate imagining of WALL-E provides an example of how good he can look.
