The filmmaker, Brad Bird was kind enough to give us a bunch of videos on the making of the film and how they all determined so many indepth details on life inside a Paris restaurant, on speaking French, on haute cuisine.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DVnVZiwzXQ&NR=1

Most of all, Ratatouille is about the creative process.
The New York Times review puts it right: Written and directed by Brad Bird and displaying the usual meticulousness associated with the Pixar brand, “Ratatouille” is a nearly flawless piece of popular art, as well as one of the most persuasive portraits of an artist ever committed to film. It provides the kind of deep, transporting pleasure, at once simple and sophisticated, that movies at their best have always promised.
Wow! I am going to go see this Baby!
ReplyDeleteFabulous!
ReplyDeleteIt on my list. We have been watching the trailers with such excitement for the past few weeks....Glad you liked it!
ReplyDeleteYou mean, from now on, when I hear "Ratatouille", I'll have to think *rats*?
ReplyDeleteDo the bake croissants, too?
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
ReplyDeleteThis is the FIRST time I've successfully embedded YouTube videos in a post!
I hope you enjoy them.
I could watch them forever.
I HAVE to see this movie again...
i saw the first trailer some months ago and i instantly knew i had to see this movie.
ReplyDeletethanks for the other movies too.
How sweet! I've been wanting to see this movie, Carol--it looks adorable. I'm heading up to Cambridge Mass to see my son for a few days, and he says we'll head for a movie or two--I'll have to suggest this one, although I'll bet he will already want to see it. Thanks for the previews...;))
ReplyDeleteI agree, Carol, it is fantastic. We both absolutely loved it.
ReplyDeleteAh- yes - we saw it on opening day...stellar!!
ReplyDeleteHopefully they have the English version with Japanese subtitles and not a dubbed version playing at the end of this month! I really want to see this one.
ReplyDeleteCan`t wait to see this!!!!
ReplyDeleteI just loved it!
ReplyDeleteFun to see these bits again..
Annie
I've got to see this even though I hate rats but I do love Anthony Bourdain.
ReplyDeleteWell, I still don't love rats but I do love Remy and this movie! It's a joy except it made me miss Paris!
ReplyDeletewouahhh, we don't get to see it in Paris until August 1st (but it's my birthday so it's kind of a nice bday present). Still though, I want to see it now!!
ReplyDeleteI need to go see this soon~thanks
ReplyDeleteI never ever imagined I could go for this film... but your enthusiasm mad me think about it.
ReplyDeleteNow shall I be able to see it in English? I think that the dubbed version must miss something.
I'll have to see to that !
etymology: did you know that "ratatouille" comes from French verb "touiller", which is the colloquial verb for "mélanger" (= to mix)?
Wow..I hate rats but I have been watching the commercials and this looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLidy
Hi Carol,
ReplyDeleteGald I stumbled on your website from David McMahon's! My daughters and I lived in Paris for almost 8 years, so we are ALMOST Parisians... they are more so than I am, but we really and truly love Paris, our most wonderful memories of them growing up were there! Thanks for a wonderful site!
And yes, we also enjoyed Ratatouille! Made us feel rather homesick. We are in Montreal now.
cheers,
Cecilia
We went to watch this to help alleviate some of my homesickness. I don't know if it helped those feelings, but it sure made me feel good...and hungry! Much, much fun!
ReplyDeleteMeilleurs voeux!!
