Upcoming Pixar reader, Billy, sends along this link. The link leads to a section on ToyWiz.com where you have the ability to pre-order toys from the movie. However, before you click, there may be 1 or 2 spoilers that the characters depict on the page.
The page however, reveals the name of the orange fat rat, that features in the teaser trailer, and it also reveals the names and shows off some characters that we haven’t seen yet, and also names some of the characters we saw on the book that was posted here earlier.
I present, EMILE!
The grandpa looking rat is called Django, and we also meet on the page, Git.
We can deduce from the page that we will be getting basic action figures, talking toys, interactive figures, mini figure sets, R/C controlled toys, playsets and even a Uno card pack. The first lot of merchandise starts shipping in May with the second lot in June. So there you have it! Thanks Billy!

“Git”? That name isn’t going to go down too well in the UK…
I am absolutely ecstatic! Thank you for posting up this very informative and exciting news, luxor jr.
I have gotta get me that “motorized” Remy toy…. (snigger)
Great updates! Regarding the fat rat’s name, I came across this Amazon.com page about another Ratatouille book to be released this year, which says the name of the fat rat is “Emilie”?

“Emile” seems more appropriate to me though. Anyway, just wanted to share the info. The Amazon.com page also reveals some key plot points, which I think are spoilers at this stage.
Thanks Luxo Jr., and more power!
