I scoured the menus in search of them, but came up empty. Viewing on DVD-ROM, I found three, which the press release confirms is the total. Available from Disc 1's main menu is the short featurette "Geek-o-Rama" (4:45), which shows us some of that fun Pixar atmosphere, An unadvertised bonus found in the Set Up menu is "Maximize Your Home Theater", which takes some basic video/audio tests and makes them awesome with imagery from various Pixar movies and shorts.

Roger Ebert (December 5, 2008). "The best films of 2008... and there were a lot of them". Chicago Sun-Times. Archived from the original on April 23, 2013 . Retrieved December 9, 2008. The final listing "Lots of Bots" can be experienced as a read-along or as a play-along. The former (3:10) simply turns Kiki Thorpe's Seussian picture book into an animated storybook read by Mary (Kathy Najimy). The play-along version has John (John Ratzenberger) read the story, which gets extended by a number of little interactive activities like puzzles and word matches. Appropriately enough, Pixar makes these a little more fun and challenging than your typical child-oriented DVD games. Pixar's imaginative movies always lend themselves to innovative DVD menus, and WALL•E certainly doesn't disappoint in this regard. On Disc 1, we see things through characters' perspectives (our hero's binocular vision, EVE's oval blue screen) and hear the sounds of mechanical desolation in cleverly-designed 5.1. The locales are established with nifty transitions.In the Humans section, select 'Behind the Scenes'. Move to ' WALL•E and EVE'. Press down once, then press right. You will be on the red WALL•E. Select this to see a development test created in 2005. WALL-E won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature and was nominated for Best Original Screenplay, Best Original Score, Best Original Song, Sound Editing, and Sound Mixing at the 81st Academy Awards. [126] [127] Walt Disney Pictures also pushed for an Academy Award for Best Picture nomination, [128] but it was not nominated, sparking controversy over whether the Academy deliberately restricted WALL-E to the Best Animated Feature category. [129] Film critic Peter Travers remarked, "If there was ever a time where an animated feature deserved to be nominated for best picture it's Wall-E." [130] Only three animated films, 1991's Beauty and the Beast and Pixar's next two films, 2009's Up and 2010's Toy Story 3, have ever been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture. A reflective Stanton stated he was not disappointed the film was restricted to the Best Animated Film nomination because he was overwhelmed by the film's positive reception, and eventually "The line [between live-action and animation] is just getting so blurry that I think with each proceeding year, it's going to be tougher and tougher to say what's an animated movie and what's not an animated movie."

There is the setting of outer space, which since Toy Story 2's emphatic opening has seemed like one vast canvas begging the studio to tell more stories there. There is the sound design by Spielberg and Lucas collaborator Ben Burtt, which turns mechanical sounds into personality, electronic ones into voice, and us into receptive learners of a new language.
