WALL-E Update: Jeff Garlin To Voice The Only Speaking Character In WALL-E?

Jeff Garlin has reported that he is the ‘only animated character that speaks’ in the upcoming Pixar film WALL-E. It has been known for a while that many of the film would feature non-speaking robots communicating between themselves in an R2D2 like manner.

We know a generalised version of the plot (click here to read) and we know that there are humans in the movie, although they have turned to couch potato blobs. We assumed that if there were human characters then surely there would be more voices? Apparently not as Jeff Garlin appears to be the only one,

“I play the Captain and it’s pretty much my own voice. And the character looks a lot like me. made it – in the movie I’m the only animated character that speaks […] A lot of the film is silent and they’re robots so they make noises and such and there’s sound but I’m one of the only characters that speak – not one of them – I am the only animated character that speaks. There’s another character but I can’t talk about it. But I’m the only animated character that speaks.”

It as reported a while ago that WALL-E would feature some ‘live action people element’, but details of that haven’t been revealed yet. Maybe the character that Garlin can’t mention is the live-action character? We’ll let you know as soon as we find out more.
