Wall-E
Release date: June 27
Studio: Pixar DIS

This next film proves that Disney's Pixar can make just about anything seem cute and cuddly.

Set in the year 2700, "Wall-E" tells the story of a garbage-collecting robot and his pet cockroach living alone in the wasteland that Earth has become after the human race was forced to flee.

Sound strange for a family film? Well, Pixar has grown more adventurous lately. Consider last summer's "Ratatouille" and its unlikely combination of talking varmints and gourmet food.

Even though that wound up being one of Pixar's lower grossing movies, it still brought in a healthy $206 million.

"Pixar is the gold standard in computer animation," said Pandya, who thinks "Wall-E" is "guaranteed" to do $200 million.

Still, sci-fi animation has not been a successful genre, Gray said. But if any animation studio could make it work, he thinks Pixar may be the one to do it.
