WALL.E (2008)

The year is 2700. If you're dyslexic, that is not 2007. "WALL•E," a robot, spends every day doing what he was made for. But soon, he will discover what he was meant for. From Academy Award®-winning director, Andrew Stanton (Finding Nemo), "WALL•E" is the story of one robot's comic adventures as he chases his dream across the galaxy.
According to John Lasseter, "WALL•E" is the story about the last little robot on Earth. He is a robot that his programming was to help clean up. You see, it's set way in the future. Through consumerism, rampant, unchecked consumerism, the Earth was covered with trash. And to clean up, everyone had to leave Earth and set in place millions of these little robots that went around to clean up the trash and make Earth habitable again. Well, the cleanup program failed with the exception of this one little robot and he's left on Earth doing his duty all alone. But it's not a story about science fiction. It's a love story, because, you see, "WALL•E" falls in love with [Eve], a robot from a probe that comes down to check on Earth, and she's left there to check on and see how things are going and he absolutely falls in love with her."

History of BMW SAUBER

BMW-Sauber F1, is a Formula One team with bases in Hinwil, Switzerland and Munich, Germany. The team was founded as Sauber F1 by Peter Sauber in 1993. In 2005 BMW split away from Williams F1 and bought Sauber, although the entire team is wholly owned by BMW they left the Sauber name in it as a kind gesture. Peter Sauber remains on the team as a consultant and it has been confirmed that the Sauber name will be retained for the 2007 season.
For the 2006 season the new BMW Sauber F1 Team has signed Nick Heidfeld from Williams to be their lead driver, while 1997 World Champion Jacques Villeneuve has had his contract with Sauber retained for the final year. The test third driver for the team will be Robert Kubica of Poland. Jacques Villeneuve would subsequently be replaced by Robert Kubica after the German Grand Prix, BMW stating that Villenueve couldn't drive due to medical complications following his accident in Hockenhiem. After the Hungarian Grand Prix, it was announced that Kubica would complete the season withe the Swiss team. The team will continue to use Sauber's facilities, mostly for chassis construction and wind tunnel testing, while BMW's headquarters in Munich will be responsible for building the new P86 V8.
BMW Sauber F1 Team announced a technical partnership with Intel, which will eventually lead to technological improvements available on BMW road cars. Former Sauber title sponsor Petronas renewed their contract with the new team, although merely as a simple team sponsor. Credit Suisse will also remain, completing the trifecta of primary sponsors for the team.
The team used a plain white livery in testing with the BMW symbol on the nosecone and the motto "BMW Power" on the reverse of the rear wing.
The new livery, unveiled in Valencia on 17 January 2006, is the traditional BMW blue and white with a hint of red.
Jacques Villeneuve scored the team's first points with a seventh place finish at the 2006 Malaysian Grand Prix, after Heidfeld retired from fifth with an engine failure late in the race.
Both Heidfeld and Villeneuve picked up points in 4th and 6th places in the 2006 Australian Grand Prix, giving BMW Sauber 8 points towards their total. After a run of points finishes, Heidfeld scored the team's first podium in the 2006 Hungarian Grand Prix. Kubica stood in for Villeneuve, who crashed heavily the weekend prior in the 2006 German Grand Prix. Kubica finished seventh in his debut race and thus scored two provisional points for the team. This result was however disqualified when stewards later discovered his car to be (unintentionally) two kilograms too light due to excessive tyre wear. A day later, BMW announced that Villeneuve was no longer to be retained by the team, which spelt the end of the Canadian's illustrous F1 career.
The team ran a radical "twin towers" aero enhancement on the front of the car for the race in Magny-Cours, France, which was meant to direct airflow to the rear and thus improve performance. This unconventional add-on was promptly banned by the FIA as it was adjudged to impede the drivers' vision and thus compromise safety.
After a mistake in tyre choice and a first-corner accident prevented the team from scoring points in the 2006 Turkish Grand Prix, the Italian round of the championship saw a return to form. The team scored their second podium of this season, thanks to the astonishing driving of Kubica. He had driven most of the race in third place and even led at one point during the first round of pit stops. Heidfeld was classified in 8th position with one point; this poor result due to a poor first lap and drive-through penalty after qualifying third. The team's current fifth place in the WCC was cemented with Heidfeld scoring another two points at the 2006 Chinese Grand Prix, but only after a last lap collision caused by the lapped Takuma Sato dropped him from fourth.
Toyota's early double retirement from the 2006 Brazilian Grand Prix ensured that the team finished fifth in the Constructors' Championship, a respectable result in their first season.
On 19 October 2006, it was announced that Robert Kubica would partner Nick Heidfeld for 2007 with Sebastian Vettel taking the test and reserve driver role. On 21 December, it was announced that Timo Glock had been signed as the team's second test
