Wall-E

On second viewing, I noticed something I hadn't before. Sigourney Weaver was cast as the voice of the computer. The voice of the computer almost always repeated something someone else said. I thought this might've been a clever nod at Galaxy Quest, in which her Star Trek-like character's job was to repeat things the other characters said for the benefit of the computer (as though it only understood her voice.)

It didn't hold up quite as well on second viewing, but that may have been the sleep deprival and the jet lag, as we'd had a redeye flight that landed half a day before.
