MovieWeb chats with Brad Bird to help promote the release of Ratatouille on DVD and Blu-Ray come November 6.
They chat about Ratatouille being the best reviewed film of 2007*, seeing the film on Blu-Ray in HD, Blu-Ray only special features, motion capture, the possibility of an R-Rated film from Bird and 1906.
When asked if he had any involvement with the special features on the release of Ratatouille on DVD and Blu-Ray, Brad says….
I didn’t, because of the time crunch. I had to turn that aspect of this disc over to someone else and let them drive it. I did give them a lot of notes. I think the package looks great, though. It is really amazing. The richness of the detail, and the color of the image are great. I can’t think of another way to perfectly preserve your film.

Wonderful Article!
I especially enjoy the section where he talks about mo-cap, and where the animator needs to draw the line between animating and acting. Being a writer myself, there are parts when you’re working out a piece when it’s fine to take from real life to enhance a piece to fiction. (when you do it right, it turns out great!)
And then there are also the parts where you can use what you have available (which is so-so), or you can make something from scratch youself that’s so much better.
Great article.
Thanks for putting this one up! 😀
