Hollywood star Wall-E tours the Capital
THE newest star in Hollywood has been out and about in Edinburgh ahead of the release of his summer blockbuster.
WALL-E, a small, unsophisticated-looking robot, is widely expected to be one of the cinema hits of the season.
Made by Pixar – the creators of animated hits such as Toy Story, The Incredibles, and Ratatouille – it tells the story of the last robot, or human, left on Earth, with the film set 700 years in the future.
Ahead of the film's release on Friday, WALL-E was visiting landmarks across the Capital
The Forth Bridge (above) and Edinburgh Castle formed part of the robot's tour of the city, drumming up anticipation for the film's big release.
