* WordOfGod says that both his look and personality was meant to evoke what their hypothetical child might have been like, and doesn't this theory just make the whole story even [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming more heartwarming]]?

But, Elie seemed to like kids more then the monster house chick, and thus, why Rushell got to live, and why she let him grab the hose.

**Not really, because why would Russell say that Phyllis said his dad was too busy to talk? Unless..Russell's dad has a Split Personality.

Because Muntz was tryign to breed a dog with extreme loyalty. Knowing that [=GR=]s are traditionally very loyal, he decided to breed them into his dogs when he finally got his hands on one. Unfortunatly, [=GR=]s are also ''extrememly'' friendly, and though Muntz may have tried to breed the "friendly" out of them.... Well, let's just say, [[{{Understatement}} it's didn't work.]]

Removed bad form and a Timelord guess


[[WMG: Russell was a baby from {{WALL-E}} that time-traveled to the present.]]
Okay, this WMG was mainly built on the fact that Russell was kind of chubby. But still, a WMG's an WMG. And the real reason he doesn't see his dad much is because he went back to the future.
* That'd explain why his father encouraged him in things like camping and exploring the pre-garbage world despite not being able to tell the boy anything concrete on how to go about it.
** Then how come all the people in WALL-E's past were live-action? Carl is clearly animated, as is everyone else.
** That also wouldn't explain why his mom, who appears at the end, isn't overweight. Over time, she could've lost it all.
** So would that mean "Phyllis" is really the Axiom computer?
*** Wait, do you mean ''Russell'' got sent back in time or ''Russell's dad'' went back into time, had Russell, and then went back to the future... or ''Russell'' went back to the future?? Also, it would be easier to say ''Up'' is an alternative universe to ''Wall-E''.
* Keep going with that, and Russell or his dad is a Time Lord! What's his TARDIS, the house?
** Well in that case:

[[WMG: One or more characters are [[DoctorWho Time Lords]].]]
The obvious candidate is Muntz, an obsessed and suspiciously long-lived adventurer with access to anachronistic technology. Somewhat less likely possibilities include Elle, who may have been unable to reproduce due to the Pythia's curse (and who was, presumably, out of regenerations), and Russel's unseen dad.

----[[WMG: Carl originally went on his adventure to die.]]
Carl obviously planned the trip, so it's not really like he did it on the spur of the moment. He probably knew he wasn't capable of living out there all on his own. In his eyes, he did not have much left to live for, so he decided he was going to go out in style. After reading through Ellie's picture book, in addition to feeling responsible for inadvertently bringing Russel with him did he change his mind.

[[WMG: The CorruptCorporateExecutive purposely planned the events that led to Carl being labeled a menace]]
The JerkAss wanted Carl out so badly, so he ordered the construction workers to ''accidentally'' hit something and then told them that if should they hit anything, they should be ''aggressively'' nice, knowing that it would make Carl lose his temper and lash out. The CCE probably could have found other ways to have him evicted, but he decided to do this simply to get the message across that you don't mess with him.
