Other: Burtt created the voices and sounds for the aliens and droids of Star Wars (1977) and the voice of E.T. To come up with Chewbacca's voice, he went to a zoo, but that day did not find what he wanted. Later, at an animal farm, a bear's growls provided the basis for Chewbacca's speech, and Burtt added to that the barks, growls, and whimpers of dogs and lions. He was finally satisfied when he went to Marineland, in California, and recorded a walrus, which was moaning because its pool had been drained for cleaning.

    Do your research. Ben Burtt is responsible for the "computer sounds" that you hear as Wall-E's voice.
