After seeing Ratatouille at a sneak peek 2 weeks in advance, it has only made me want to see it even more. this is the type of movie that you should see on the big screen. the vistas of Paris are amazing.

Mitch - Heheheh, yeah. Actually, remember when I mentioned to you about that system that makes it so I can't recieve or send email? That's probably why I didn't get the first email. That's where my father comes in. If you could mention the situation to PV or TSS or even Dash, and get info from them, that would be helpful. I'm almost positive my email adress is valid.

Bill - I hope to see you back on the boards soon, Bill! It's rather odd when one member of the site leaves for a time; it doesn't feel like "home", so to speak.

If you still have a problem, let me know and I'll ask one of the administrators/moderators to help you.

-- Mitch

P.S. I love the name "Planetians", by the way.

Thanks. I nearly had a heart attack when that happened. Seriously, it's not been the same for me without you fellow Pixar Planetians (yes, I made that up) . PP is the first forum I've been a part of and so I had no idea what I was doing at the time when the "incident" happened. Like I've said, I will try to email PixarVixen (It says Tonyloaf is the Administrator, but she doesn't have a email link) and get things fixed up.

YEAH!!! See it in theatres first! I know that Ratatouille is gonna be so awesome! And I love food. Totally worth the money! And you can see the full experience. That's what Pixar wanted for us! DON'T DOWNLOAD IT!!!

I also have had the priviledge of seeing it on June 16th and I agree with Luxo amd Mitch on this as well. Seeing it in the theater will be one hundred times better than seeing it on P2P anyway, heheh.

Oh, and to Mitch and anyone from Pixar Planet who is reading this, the reason why I haven't been on the boards these past few days is because my username became inactive. I did not recieve an email, so with my father (yes, you heard me) I will try to email Pixar Vixen (she's the right person to contact I believe) and get any further information. With luck, I should be back on the boards soon.

You know, the whole issue of digital downloads is a large can of worms I don't really want to get into. For example, is it bad to download the film if that person hadn't initially planned on seeing it at the theatres, but downloaded it because it was freely available? Or, what if getting a glimpse of this copy of the film persuades someone to bring their whole family to the cinema next week? It's far more complex than just "you're stealing our work!". And frankly, digital downloads are one piece of the puzzle for movie distribution in the future, and you can't just butt your nose at it and say it is bad. It happened to the music indsutry, and it will get even worse for the film indsutry. But I digress.

I wasn't planning on downloading it, in fact I had no clue that it was even available until I saw the blog posting. I had already seen the early screening last Saturday, so I wasn't really seeking it out. And besides, Pixar releases are one of the few times a year I deem my money well spent on going to the threatre.

Anyways, I usually only pirate music and TV shows, but once in a while there's a good DVD rip of a movie out there (i.e. "Sicko" recently, which I will also go see in theatres just because it was such a moving film). Unfortunately, Ratatouille wasn't a DVD copy. It's just a video camera version, and is actually quite low resolution. People certainly wouldn't be able to watch this leaked copy on anything larger than a 10" screen (comfortably that is). So, yes it is real, yes it is out there, and no, you don't have to be afraid of losing box office revenue from it. I mean, this comment thread proves that not many here even know where to find the film, much less download it, much less burn a copy. And I think the geeks that are seeking out Ratatouille on the networks are generally the same type of geeks that praise The Incredibles and love Pixar (+ hate Dreamworks). So trust me, Pixar ain't losing any cash over having it out there loose on the net.

I have had the privilege of viewing this film up on the big screen last Saturday, June 16, and all I can say is that the film is...c'est magnifique -- it is indescribably beautiful.... To see this film on anything smaller than a theater screen does not do the production justice, I'll tell you that. Even if you only receive the chance to view it once -- just once -- in a cinema, it is worth all ten bucks. All ten. And even if it's more or less the price than that, it's still worth it....

So yeah. I agree with luxo on this: Go see the film in theaters. Give Pixar the money they deserve.... Heh.
