"97. Have Pixar make 3001, A Space Odyssey, with HAL replaced by a Mac." They did and it was called "WALL-E"

  How am I missing WALL-E being anything like 2001? I still don't see the comparison.

    In general, they're very different movies, but both of them share the striking fact that you don't hear a single bit of spoken dialogue until ~15+ minutes into the movie.

      From http://2001.wikia.com/wiki/HAL_9000 http://2001.wikia.com/wiki/HAL_9000 : In the 2008 Pixar animated film WALL-E, the starship Axiom's Autopilot ("Auto"), which is also the main villain of the film, has a glowing red camera, a low electronic voice and a hidden directive - deliberately reminiscent of HAL. WALL-E's pet cockroach is also named Hal, but it is also a reference to Hal Roach.

    When WALL-E restarts the sound is the one from the Mac boot.
