01:02We had to build in limitations, and we decided those limitations based on what's his function.
01:07Well, he's built to go over anywhere and be able to, like, dig in, scoop, squish out trash,
01:13and be able to sort of see through any kind of weather and terrain, and he has to be able
01:17to box up and store.
01:19And so we made those functions dictate how he was built,
01:23and those invariably brought in limitations, which makes him much more believable.
01:27Part of what makes him appealing is if you keep all those limitations.
01:31That's why he's charming.
01:32If he could suddenly do anything, he wouldn't be half as charming.
01:35It's the limitations that make him charming.
01:44Ben Burtt was critical in creating the language of this movie and sort of the soundscape of this movie.
01:51And he really is the driving force behind three of our central characters, Wally, Eve, and Moe,
01:58and then all of the secondary robot characters as well.
02:05A lot of the sounds of Wally are really his motors, what you think are his motors.
02:10He has little movements of his head, and some of those are actually just vocal sounds I've made
02:15by doing something like changing it a little bit in the computer,
02:19giving it a little electronic envelope around it.
02:22It's a very simple story, and it's something that I think everybody can relate to.
02:26Also, just this kind of interesting lesson that, you know, love defeats life's programming.
02:34We'll be right back.
