But the point is that they behave like simple worker droids in the film, 
rather than antropomorphic american-way-of-life robots of "Robots", the 
old movie from the same creators of Ice Age...

Yes, that's the beauty of it.  Previous Pixar movies were always like: 
american toys way of life, american (well, australian actually) fish way 
of life, american monsters way of life, american super-heroes way of 
life and american cars way of life.  They changed a bit from this old 
passional subject of John Lasseter (that perfectly fit Disney's agenda) 
beginning with Ratattoille and now, Wall-E.

It's a welcome change of pace and I particularly enjoyed that the robots 
were portrayed semi-realistic.  I also liked how much Wall-E's sad, 
battered cameras looked a lot like Woody Allen's sad expression...
