I had long been intrigued by the “Dark Side of the Rainbow” phenomenon, in which one can sync up Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon” with “The Wizard of Oz” and achieve some very interesting results. The decades-old debate, of course, is whether or not Pink floyd had actually made a conscious effort to match up their album with the classic film. My personal view is that, though I would like to believe that the sync-up was intentional, the technology was far too primitive in 1973 to pull off that kind of feat, and that ultimately what you are watching is an elaborate string of coincidences. It would appear at first glance that there could never be a movie/album combination that could match up nearly as well, coincidental or not. You might even throw all of your CDs and DVDs in the garbage in desperation.

But fear not, America. For I am a genius. Here was my thought process.

“Pink Floyd have recorded other complex concept albums since Dark Side. The Wall was one of those albums. There are movies in existence with a name similar to The Wall. Like WALL-E. I own The Wall! I own WALL-E! I will force my roommates to watch this in its entirety to verify my hypothesis.”

And guess what? The match is nearly perfect. Almost to the point that you’d have to seriously wonder if the folks at Pixar had this combo in their noggins all along, just waiting to be discovered. By Tinz. Don’t believe me? I’ll show you how to sync up Another Brick In the WALL-E for yourselves. And as a bonus, I’ll show you the first few minutes to get you salivatin’ for more!

What’s that? The sound and picture quality are lousy? Then try it for yourselves.
