USAToday has an article on Patton Oswalt, the voice of Remy in Ratatouille. The article firstly follows what happened on Emeril Live! while Oswalt was a guest on the show. The episode will air on June 27 (8 p.m. ET/PT). The article then looks at Oswalt’s previous gigs, and how he scored the role as Remy. Here is one bit that intrigued me. Oswalt was at the restaurant Per Se where the where some other interviews.
He (Oswalt) shakes his head over another interviewer, who recently declared Ratatouille to be “almost perfect.” Why? Instead of savoring the original score by Michael Giacchino (Lost, Alias), the reporter wished there were a Blink 182 or a Gwen Stefani ditty to hum along to, the way other cartoon movies rely too much on popular pop tunes.
