About WALL-E in an old WIRED magazine:
"Sure, it'd be easy to wave off Pixar's hit rate as the result of formulaic brilliance. But that sells its obsession short: Just listen to the dialog-those blips,whirs, and chirps created by Burtt, the Oscar winning sound designer behind the voice of R2-D2 (and countless other Star Wars characters). Burtt came out of retirement to record more than 2,500 unique samples for the film (Star Wars made do with a paltry 800 sounds)."
