If they made you imagine an apple futuristic robot, I do not differentiate a lot of Eve. Yes, this robot which appears in the famous film “Wall-E” which was created in 2008. In fact, it was common to watch the film and to think that Eve looks like an Apple product. And, in a way, it's really.
It was designed by Jonathan Ive, recognized on the right of Steve Jobs in the apple of the late 90s and early 2000. It is the same brain (and hands) behind emblematic conceptions Appleleros Like iPod, iPhone or iPad. In his time, it was a commission of Excellent relationship and union between Apple and Pixar. Unsurprisingly, the animation company was at the time of Steve Jobs.
Eve is from IVE. Its conception (and their history) leaves no doubt
In 2008, “Wall-E” led us to a dystopian future, in particular to the year 2700, in which the land had been devastated, among other things, by the enormous amount of waste that humans have accumulated. Wall-E is also called his protagonist robot, which wanders alone because of this giant discharge in which the planet has become. Until you find Eve.
Eve is an endearing and futuristic polished design robot, with an immaculate white color. It is, as we said at the time in Ppplesfera, An iPod has turned into a robot. As we have planned, it is not that in Pixar, they wanted to draw inspiration into the conceptions of Apple products, they directly hired those who designed these conceptions.
Jonathan Ive, who left Apple six years ago, has been working on Apple's design team since 1992. It was from 1995, with the return of Steve Jobs and its inauguration as CEO, While I am at the head of the company design. Its ingenuity and creativity allowed Apple products to have their own identity room, distinguishing others in the League. And that's exactly what Pixar wanted for Eve.
Andrew Stanton, director of “Wall-E” in 2008 that he wanted a very special robot. “That it was high technology, without separate and hidden parts all its technology inside,” he said. After giving him so many laps and being very clear on this concept, Stanton recognizes that “The more I described it, the more I realized that it looked like Apple's design lines “. He therefore did not hesitate and went to Jony IVe.
Stanton took the Apple designer to the Pixar offices to He would supervise whether the design of the day before looked like this robot itself. From these moments, the director reported in an amazed way when I act applied perfectly the secretism of IVE. “He cannot even refer to the place where the future of technology is directed”, declaring that at that time, “all he was doing was to move his head when he heard things heard that we wanted to do. “
“Wall-E” has also dedicated other affectionate winks to Apple
Beyond a watch clearly inspired by Apple, although it has not become references to its manufacturer in the film, in the other “wall-e” elements seem that, as always with regard to Pixar, can Go unnoticed. Except for the most observers.
A “wall-e” scene with an iPod in perfect condition
This is how Throughout the film, an iPod appears in perfect conditionSomething that if it could already be curious, gains in relevance knowing that what abounds on earth is scrap. It was therefore a subtle praise for Apple products and their sustainability.
Another wink, surely more obvious to Mackerelis that when the protagonist robot, Wall-e, it begins to recharge its battery and that reaches 100%, what seems to be the Mac classic sound. This emblematic sound that Apple calls “Carillon” and in fact they have registered.
In any case, this “collaboration” between Apple and Pixar is not strange. Steve Jobs was responsible for the purchase of Pixar and his successful conversion of an animated film producer. After his return to Apple in 1995, the idea was to mix that he had bought the producer, but in the end, it was Disney who ended up doing it in 2006. On the part of Apple, there were also winks in PixarBeing one of the many hiking spheres with the characters of “Toy Story”.
