Wall-E Cast - UPDATED: Atkinson Out? Streisand In

[EDIT: This is all the result of a scooper seeing an inaccurate Apple RSS feed to update users of their new trailers. Apple have listed the cast of Mr. Bean's Holiday as the cast of Wall-E and a film ick reader supposed they had it right. Why wouldn't they? As this source is one of my best, I took their comments on face value - and as it happens, they were right, it's Apple that weren't. Either that or Apple were right too and, yes, Wall-E has the same cast as the Bean sequel]

You wouldn't know it from the trailer but the cast of
Wall-E includes Rowan Atkinson, Emma de Caunes and Willem Dafoe [EDIT: ...or not] - alongside Fred Willard, making the first live action appearance in Pixar history.

Spoilers follow. No idea who will be playing what, so far - but I'd take a wild shot at Emma de Caunes being the voice of the female robot and Atkinson and Dafoe perhaps playing humans in the later sequences - where there is some dialogue, eventually. Willard is definitely playing the CEO of the Buy'n'Large corporation, chief culprits in destroying the Earth.

[EDIT: To make up for the error at the heart of this post, here's a reminder that might well cheer you. Barbra Streisand is in Wall-E. Don't forget that astonishing fact]

Are you sure about the casting? If it's true, it means that people at Pixar really enjoyed Mr. Bean's Holiday.
