| | Posted: | | | | Shouldn't WALL-E be all caps since it is an acronym (Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth)
also EVE (Extraterrestrial Vegetation Evaluator).
Also since MacinTalk is a software program from Apple, shouldn't it be capitalized as Apple has it.
For reference, I am talking about UPC 786936734911 |

| | Posted: | | | | If you're referring to the credits for WALL-E and EVE, I believe they should be all CAPS as well. MacinTalk should also be capitalized the Apple way does since it's a proper name...even though it's a software program. | | | | My WebGenDVD online Collection | | | | Last edited: by Bad Father |

For reference, I am talking about UPC 786936734911 I contributed the profile for the Blu-ray version and both, along with 'M-O', were entered in all caps. I am happy to say that it was approved. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| | Posted: | | | | Just to play devil's advocate.....
The roles for ALL actors are in capitals so how can you determine which ones should be left in capitals and which ones shouldn't?
When I updated the R2 version the ONLY one I put in caps was WALL.E as the cover shows us how his name is.
I'm just concerned that a ping-pong situation could arise if people start interpreting the credits too much. |

| | Posted: | | | | As was stated in the OP, both WALL-E and EVE are acronyms...Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth and Extraterrestrial Vegetation Evaluator respectively. I believe 'M-O' is one as well though, off the top of my head, I can't recall whether or not they mentioned it.
I believe both WALL-E and EVE were written that way on their bodies. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| | Posted: | | | | Correct me if I'm wrong but I think EVE has no markings on her body. Only lights that come on and off. |

| | Posted: | | | | Just a side question: Does the "E" really stand for "Earth"? I haven't seen that in the theatre. I thought that is some production line code. What does the "A" stand for on that huge machines on the spaceship? | | | Karsten

Yes, it is shown in the film...can't remember off the top of my head where exactly, but I think it was near the beginning. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

I already played with the thought of changing it to WALL*E. Apparently the • doesn't display correctly in all places of the program as it currently stands. |
