Cars DVD Roundup + Video Games

I have rounded up a pile of articles, reports and reviews on the Cars DVD, a lot of which also talk about a trip to Pixar where John Lasseter talked to the reporters about Cars.

• Zap2it Review of the DVD
• Route 66 News’ Review of the DVD
• DVD Talk’s Cars DVD Road Trip (Includes interviews with John Lasseter and Dan Scanlon)
• Cross-country odyssey inspired animated hit
• Disney’s wonderful world of Pixar
• The road to ‘Ratatouille’ is choked with ‘Cars’ DVDs
• Inside look at Pixar Animation Studios
• Pulling Back The Curtain At Pixar’s Studios, Where ‘Story Is King’
• Cars DVD Exclusives

And that’s that.

Also, according to ComputerAndVideoGames.com and various other sources, THQ’s Heavy Iron Studios will be developing a game based on Ratatouille. The game will make it onto 11 different platforms.

All we know about the game is that it will put you in the tiny rodent shoes of Remy as he relives various key moments from the film due to land next summer. THQ told us, “…players will instantly recognize the storyline, characters and key locations of Ratatouille, as they engage in a series of unique mini-games, cooking challenges and head-to-head multiplayer. Ratatouille will allow players to create culinary masterpieces, evade detection from dangerous and often hungry enemies, and brave the perils of the dinner-rush in this senses-shattering journey to fulfil Remy’s life-long dream of becoming a great chef”.

says the article. The game will scamper onto shevles around the release of the film next year.
