Computer programmer, Mike Senna, took it upon himself to build a life-size WALL-E, as seen from the Disney-Pixar movie of the same name...and it's awesome.
Back in 2003, the California resident built a replica R2-D2 unit, which he would bring out to visit the City of Hope Pediatric - a children's hospital for cancer survivors . The reactions he received were so strong, that he set out to build something that has a bit more emotion behind it. Cue WALL-E.
Senna devoted about 25 hours a week for the last two years outside of his day job, working on completing the replica from scratch. Using absolutely no blueprints, he relied solely on watching and re-watching the film in extremely close detail...and it shows.
My hat goes off to Senna for taking countless hours of his time, just to be able to brighten a child's day. You can see a video of his WALL-E after the break and can also find out more Senna's journey by checking out his blog, sennaswalle.blogspot.com.
PS: I dare you not to smile... :)
