WALL-E at Walt's Barn, Griffith Park

Our WALL-E appeared at Walt Disney's Barn at Live Steamers in Griffith Park in Los Angeles. We met Disney Imagineer legend Bob Gurr, as well as two little girls who are among WALL-E's biggest fans. Both the Senna and McMaster WALL-Es entertained guests to the railroad museum, where rides are also given on miniature trains.

3D Film Festival, LA

Our Wall-E and R2-D2 entertained the visitors to the 3D Film Festival at the Regal Theater at LA Live. Mike let some kids learn to drive Wall-E, and both characters were a huge hit with the crowds!

Muscular Dystrophy Association Summer Camp

My Wall-E was invited to the Muscular Dystrophy Association Summer Camp at the Irvine Ranch Outdoor Education Center. We felt honored to be a part of this VERY special camp. The kids were excited to meet him!  The kids (and adults) were all smiley and giddy.  I forgot to bring his cockroach friend, Hal.  :(

Wall-E still needs a little work to be complete.  His neck is done, but he still needs some detail work under the body and his hands need to be secured properly.

Washington Post article

The Washington Post ran a nice article about Senna's and McMaster's WALL-Es.

WALL-E's gone viral!

Worldwide media interest and traffic to this blog has gone crazy as a result of its mention on Yahoo's Yo Show, which was posted to the Yahoo main page August 2. At one point our blog was getting about a view a minute. The video has been re-posted widely & continues to spread around the world. We've seen it in Spanish, Portuguese, French, Norwegian, German, Japanese, Israeli & Macedonian. We've been contacted by reporters in the US, UK, France & Australia. WALL-E has been invited to NY City, Nova Scotia & India. Our blog is averaging 2,600+ views/day, and Mike's most recent YouTube video has 60,000+ views, while his friend Mike McMaster's video has reached 168,000+ views. We've gotten 35 glowing emailed fan letters. It's been a wild ride & a very interesting week! Just Google "Senna Walle"... you'll see!
