As Upcoming Pixar reader Archibald points out, the official Ratatouille website has added a synopsis for the film. It states…
After taking audiences on incredible journeys to the worlds of cars, superheroes, fish and toys, only the amazing storytellers at Pixar Animation Studios (“Cars,” “Finding Nemo,” “The Incredibles”) could create an entirely new and original world where the unthinkable combination of 5-star restaurants and rats come together for the ultimate fish-out-of-water tale.
In the new animated-adventure, RATATOUILLE, a rat named Remy dreams of becoming a great French chef despite his family’s wishes and the obvious problem of being a rat in a decidedly rodent-phobic profession. When fate places Remy in the sewers of Paris, he finds himself ideally situated beneath a restaurant made famous by his culinary hero, Auguste Gusteau. Despite the apparent dangers of being an unlikely – and certainly unwanted – visitor in the kitchen of a fine French restaurant, Remy’s passion for cooking soon sets into motion a hilarious and exciting rat race that turns the culinary world of Paris upside down.
Remy finds himself torn between his calling and passion in life or returning forever to his previous existence as a rat. He learns the truth about friendship, family and having no choice but to be who he really is, a rat who wants to be a chef. Directed by Academy Award™-winning Brad Bird (“The Incredibles”) and co-directed by Academy Award™-winning Jan Pinkava (“Geri’s Game”), RATATOUILLE is slated for release on June 29, 2007.
So there you have it, straight from the horses mouth. Bring on June 29!

BRING ON JUNE 29!! (Though wasn’t it June 27 originally? Oh well . . .)
Anyways, great synopsis from the website, another step closer to RATATOUILLE!!!
Oh, great stuff, great stuff!!
You really should have two countdowns, Luxo Jr. — One for the Cars DVD, and one for Ratatouille . . . and maybe a third for the PIXAR exhibit in Melbourne (wink wink)!
That sounds like a good idea having 2 counters. I’ll test it and see what people think.
So does he become Human?
-Two couters sounds good.
I don’t think he becomes human… he will probably go back to having a normal life as a rat. But we’ll just have to wait and see the film to find out.
Having two coundowns? I don’t think that’s a good idea. It’d be hard to pay attention to the first one with a second one at the same time.
Well when I tried to add 2 countdowns, it didn’t work. So it’s only one. Looks alright don’t you think?
