“Wall-E,” Carol Channing…and More!
It used to be said that only two things would survive a nuclear holocaust: cockroaches and Cher. Well, it turns out that we were wrong: according to the brilliant and charming new animated movie, “Wall-E” (pictured), the survivors will be cockroaches and…”Hello, Dolly.” “Wall-E”‘s use of two songs from that Carol Channing classic (let’s forget Streisand did the movie) — “Put On Your Sunday Clothes” and “It Only Takes A Moment” — is inspired. “Wall-E”‘s director, Andrew Stanton, in this interview explains how he came to use the “Dolly” tunes.
