PIXAR's Ratatouille
A potential cast list is up for the next PIXAR film (after Cars). If true, it looks great!

Just want to say that IMO, unless the BIG NAME STAR's voice fits the character, they are a detriment to the movie.
Whatever happened to voice actors? You know, the actors who are specifically cast for their vocal quality, not for their face/name?

You DID see the Incredibles, right?
Every actor fit the part, many are WAY past their "name" days (other than Sam Jackson, who of course works great for Frozone), and many are unknowns (Syndrome, the kids, Agent Dicker, etc) With Cars and beyond, I'm getting worried about PIXAR's quality. But that's another thread - PIXAR's been nothing but perfect so far, and there's no reason to believe they can't continue to pick the RIGHT voices for the characters. It's OTHER studios who's casting-by-name approach really handicaps their animated results.

I'm glad that the actors who are cast in a Pixar film are handpicked for their voice-acting potential and not their star power.

OH NOES!!
"It was expected that Pinkava would direct the project, and Bird was said to be developing a sequel to his 2004 Oscar-winning film "The Incredibles." " So is this saying that Brad Bird will be directing Ratatoullie, and (perhaps) NOT developing the sequel to Incredibles? I don't give a crap what they do with a gourmet mouse, I'd MUCH rather Brad Bird be spending his time on what he is uniquely qualified to make - the sequel to Incredibles.!

Yep, it was a good teaser. Sounds like we got Patton Oswalt, ala SPence on King of Queens as the title character in this one. I'm not a big fan of his, but I'm sure it'll be fine. I wasn't a big fan of John Goodman either and he did a good job on Sully.

Ratatouille
Just saw a sneak peak tonight. Great film. Liked it as much as I liked The Incredibles.
This film was just really well done. The animation was excellent, the best, and I think i'd go out on a limb to say this, that i've ever seen. Sometimes it looked so real (the cheese and grapes) it felt like you could touch it. The third act of the film is just plain awesome and funny. Overall, being a G film, this was great. None of that kids crap that a lot of movies throw in (daddy day camp, wonderdog...etc..). I can honestly say that everyone would enjoy this movie (all ages). The soundtrack! Oh my god the score was excellent. This is the one thing that truly stood out to me (besides...everything else ) OH MY GOD! I will be buying it first thing in a week and a half. ![]() Last edited by sambow87 : 06-17-2007 at 08:05 AM. |

Call me paranoid but there was something in the message of "the incredibles" that rubbed me the wrong way. All the pixar flicks before it i found had better moral tales to go along with the great animation and stories. I hope ratatouille is more in the vein of those earlier pixar flicks.

Thanks SilentBob
You should be pleasently satisfied. Oh, and on a side note, I just got hired at our movie theater (Cinemark). It's just a summer job, but I thought it's pretty cool, especially since I spend half of the week already at the movie theater. |

Saw this at one of the advanced screenings and it is hands down my favorite movie of the year so far. The animation was just as good as I expected but the characters and story were better and the speech Peter O'Toole's character gives at the end is beautiful.

It exposed the way that society tries to crush anyone that doesn't go along with the apathetic, least-common-denominator group-think that is so pervasive in our society, it has become a way of life. The movie highlighted how important it is for everyone to use whatever talents they have to make a difference, even if it brings them risk. Being true to yourself, even in the face of society's scorn, is of utmost imprtance in this world more than ever. The Incredibles, used superheroes as an allegory to comment on society and the individual. Take a peek at the deleted scene (where Bob stops the thief on the motorcycle in traffic), about how society (in that scene, the police)treats individuals who dare to act on their own. Heck, the other deleted scene where Helen rants about how being a mother and staying home to properly raise her kids is looked down on by a society that values mover-and-shaker career-oriented consumers is a statement that is seldom even brought up in contemporary dramas - and this is a cartoon for families! But I'm curious - what did you see as the moral tale in Toy Story 2? That it's good for the main character to choose to leave a loving-but-shortlived environment as long as he is saved/pulled away by his friends? What was it in Monsters, Inc? That good-hearted whistle-blowers are eventually rewarded with great wealth and owning the company? How bout Bug's Life? That a selfish, grasping dangerously-deluded malcontent can ascend to be king if he stumbles enough to have others cover for his near-genocidal-causing mistakes? And Finding Nemo could be perceived as valuing blind faith and reckless gambles in an uncertain world (which could easily lead to death). I'm curious what you see as the moral tales in those films, though.

I saw the Incredibles message as being more "might makes right", and that only some are truly special. I'm a more "golden rule" fellow myself, and believe anyone can be truly special. It reminded me of predestination and rubbed me the wrong way.
Regarding the other pixar flicks, i got vibes like loyalty, self-sacrifice, determination, and courage. You could find these in the incredibles too, but with the added crap i mentioned above, which spoiled the "positive" vibe . |

Ratatouille is another Pixar gem! This movie was much funnier than the last effort in Cars. While Cars was good as well, this was more "classic" Pixar in that the story was great, the characters, were great, and there was plenty of adult and children humor throughout. Plus, the animation was incredible.
As an extra bonus the short, Lifted, was also hilarious and had the whole theater cracking up.

From the trailer I wasn't sure if this one was going to be as good as past Pixar films (though Cars is probably my least favorite). Throw in the fact that Joe Ranft is gone and Lasseter is off playing executive and I was wondering if the chinks in the Pixar armor were going to start showing. Turns out there was no need to worry, they hit another one out of the park. Good humor, good story and nice animation. I liked this one much better than Cars. And I agree that the short before it was petty funny too.

I was going to try and rank the Pixar movies but that seems very had to do...
Nemo I didn't really care for much when I saw it in the theater but saw it again recently and really, really liked it. I always liked Monsters Inc. more than the majority of the population. I have no idea where I would put Ratatouille. I enjoyed it but I couldn't tell you if it is in my top 3 or bottom 3. I guess the only thing I am "sure" of is that Cars is probably my least favorite...and yes I liked it too. In summary...I couldn't rank them.

Then I see the movie and just love them! Every one (although as others have said, Cars is probably my least favorite) never fails to surprise me with its humor and heart and that it doesn't talk down to us as an audience. It almost seems, to paraphrase from a reviewer, that the pixar movies aren't kids movies with little bits thrown in for adults. They are movies for adults with stuff thrown in for the kids.

Did anyone else stay through the credits and see the shot they took at "Happy Feet"? Being Happy Feet won the oscar for best "animated" film last year when it used motion capture rather than exclusively animation, there was a disclaimer at the end of Ratatouille that said something to the effect of... "No motion capture was used in the making of this film."

Also, anyone hear the Wilhelm Scream at the end of the Lifted short? The funny thing was, a kid in the audience at my showing actually did a perfect imitation of the Wilhelm immediately afterwards. Anyways, another Pixar gem. ![]()

It feels good when you love a movie and that pretty much everyone else loves it too.
That's funny about the credits. I'm planning on going back for a second helping this week with time off and I will definitely watch the credits this time for that. |

What an amazing film. I thought for sure after watching previews for the last few months it was certainly going to be my least favorite of the PIXAR films. Turns out it's now one of my absolute favorites. A Bugs Life still holds the title of my least favorite.
Lifted is probably my favorite PIXAR short. Absolutely hilarious. FIVE STARS for Ratatouille |

Pixar knocked another one out of the ballpark with Ratatouille. Excellent film. "Lifted" was hilarious!

Man i hate reading this thread and working with the movie playing. I'm trying to keep myself away from watching the movie at work so i can enjoy my outing on Thursday. Thursday is my BDay and as a treat for everyone we are going to go watch the movie. I have basically seen the first 8 minutes of the film and the awesome short LIFTED. I said i wouldn't ruin the movie for myself and enjoy it as a first run with the entire family. I said that about The Incredibles and turns out when i did see it a few weeks after its opening i had missed all but 5 minutes of film from my booth window
Not this time. . . i have Transformers to make up and keep me distracted til then
