Brief Thoughts on Seeing WALL-E

[beamjockey]

The film WALL-E stirs a lot of ingredients together, but I was struck by two similarities in particular:

1. The art of John Berkey, my favorite science fiction illustrator.


2. Stan Freberg's 1951 single "John and Marsha."

I thought of John Berkey covers too, especially with the ship design.

I was reminded of Thurber's "The Last Flower".
