Gamers will bring humanity back to Earth in summer 2008.
THQ today announced plans to release the WALL-E video game in conjunction with the film's eagerly awaited theatrical debut from Disney-Pixar in the summer of 2008. WALL-E is anticipated to launch across all major gaming systems including the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation3 computer entertainment system, PlayStation2 computer entertainment system, PSP system, Wii home video game system, Nintendo DS, Windows PC and Mac, as well as wireless devices.
The long-running relationship between THQ and Disney-Pixar has achieved shipments of more than 35 million units worldwide. THQ's current agreement with Disney-Pixar, which was announced in 2004, includes rights to create games based on four newly created Disney-Pixar film properties. Last year's Ratatouille video game was the first property released by THQ under this agreement.
WALL-E is expected to release this summer and will mark THQ's next installment in the company's well-established and successful association with Disney-Pixar. Development for WALL-E will be led by THQ's internal Heavy Iron Studios.
Players will take control of WALL-E and EVE through a fast-paced adventure based on the upcoming Disney-Pixar film. The game will allow fans to relive some of the movie's most thrilling moments as they explore 10 worlds filled with non-stop action and adventure, along with head-to-head multiplayer challenges. Players will recognize the storyline, characters and key locations from the WALL-E film as they carry out intense missions, dodge dangerous enemies and navigate their way through a futuristic world. In addition, the game will contain new storylines and environments that movie-goers will not see in theaters.
About the WALL-E Movie
What if mankind had to leave Earth, and somebody forgot to turn the last robot off?
Academy Award-winning writer-director Andrew Stanton ("Finding Nemo") and the inventive storytellers and technical geniuses at Pixar Animation Studios ("The Incredibles," "Cars," "Ratatouille") transport moviegoers to a galaxy not so very far away for a new computer-animated cosmic comedy about a determined robot named WALL-E.
After hundreds of lonely years of doing what he was built for, WALL-E (short for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class) discovers a new purpose in life (besides collecting knick-knacks) when he meets a sleek search robot named EVE. EVE comes to realize that WALL-E has inadvertently stumbled upon the key to the planet's future, and races back to space to report her findings to the humans (who have been eagerly awaiting word that it is safe to return home). Meanwhile, WALL-E chases EVE across the galaxy and sets into motion one of the most exciting and imaginative comedy adventures ever brought to the big screen.
Joining WALL-E on his fantastic journey across a universe of never-before-imagined visions of the future, is a hilarious cast of characters including a pet cockroach, and a heroic team of malfunctioning misfit robots.
Filled with surprises, action, humor and heart, WALL-E was written and directed by Andrew Stanton, produced by Jim Morris, co-produced by Lindsey Collins and features original and innovative sound design by Academy Award-winner Ben Burtt ("Star Wars," "Indiana Jones," "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial"). The film is due for release on June 27, 2008.

Organization XIII, Number 13, Roxas
In Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, you will explore a variety of Disney worlds in not only single-player mode, but also in multiplayer missions made possible by the unique networking features of the Nintendo DS.
-Twilight Town-
Roxas and Axel were watching the sunset from their usual spot on the station's clock tower after a long day of collecting "hearts" from the Heartless, as ordered by their organization. When their daily work ended, they often spent their evenings there. They talked about the day's work and other things over ice cream.
"Do you know why the sun looks red as it sinks below the horizon? It's because among the countless colours comprising light, red travels the greatest distance."
"You're just trying to show off, Axel!"
It was idle chatter between two boys without hearts.
This is the untold story of Organization XIII's Roxas.

saved the world, while another says that he wrought chaos and ruin upon it.
from Ansem's Report (Kingdom Hearts)
Long before Sora took up the Keyblade, there were other Keyblade masters. One of these masters, Xehanort, disappeared one day along with his apprentice. This event proved to be a foreshadowing of great disaster to come. Aware of the threat, another master ordered his three apprentices to seek out Xehanort and his cohort.
