Pixar confirms BURN-E; announcement coming soon

Less than one hour ago, a member of the Pixar publicity team was finally able to officially confirm for me that BURN-E will indeed be the extra short film included on the WALL-E DVD/Blu-ray (in stores this November). The person informed me that a "consumer announcement" regarding the short (and presumably the WALL-E DVD) "should be coming out shortly".

Of course, BURN-E has been all but confirmed before this. Since the title was leaked late last month, we've learned that BURN-E is the welder robot who gets locked out of the Axiom in WALL-E. Thus, the short will likely feature him trying to find his way back in.

If they choose to concentrate on the closed-out robot (such a nice little note during the movie), it would be awesome and another showing of how good those guys are

I wonder if the DVD will be a single-disc or 2-disc...

I think think I'm alone in noticing that WALL-E's E means he's from Earth and if BURN-E's from the Axiom he should be BURN-A?

BURN-A is also a better name, imho.

About the 'E' meaning Earth, maybe they'll make it means External, or something else ;)

E is just the model designation. If you remember the garbage room there were Wall*L's. BIGGER models of Wall*E.
