New character in Ratatouille? (Spoiler)

gottalovepixar · February 26, 2007, 10:47pm

I think a new couple will soon be added to the poll

in a few more months !

Hmm , not as many characters as the last PIXAR movie , it sounds

interesting though , and I think it might turn a bit into a mystery even .

Mitch · February 26, 2007, 11:55pm

Haha – yeah!

To tell you the

truth, the less characters there are in a film, the more I like it (usually). It’s easier to keep track of them

and you don’t have to remember many names or titles…compared to thousands of characters whose names are

impossible to memorize (ie, Meet the Robinsons). Still, there are a fair few

characters in Ratatouille…when you think about it:

[b]Remy
Emile
Django
Git
Linguini
Colette
Skinner
Auguste

Gusteau
Anton Ego
[/b]

That’s nine, fairly main characters in all, not including any

side people/animals that might be featured in the backround. It’s a big enough number to get you going…

Anton Ego looks like Victor Van Dort from Corpse Bride and

Rick Dicker from The Incredibles mixed together.

Hey

Mitch, I can name everybody in Meet The Robinsons

easily. I’ve been practicing.

~~=oP

Mitch · February 27, 2007, 5:36am

PixarVixen - Haha – yeah, I know! I was trying to think

of who Anton Ego reminded me of.

Oh really? Now you’re making me curious. Here’s my list:

Wilbur
Lewis
Tiny
Bowler Hat Guy
Doris

I know what

all the other characters look like, but I can’t remember their names for the life of me. Tell me who I missed.

PixarVixen · February 27, 2007, 5:53am

I’ll

list 'em all for ya over in the Meet The Robinsons thread so we don’t go too

off-topic. But I will say this…

Large character casts may be hard to remember, but fans who love

the movies will make it their mission to memorize every single one of 'em. It’s a fan thing. Heh.

~~=oP

Mitch · February 27, 2007, 6:03am

Heheh – sure thing. I’ll go check out your list in the

afore-mentioned thread later on.

And yep – you are definitely correct there. Man, I was way off when

I said that the more characters there are…the less I like a film, because I completely forgot about

Star Wars. (snigger) And that goes for other Pixar films, as well. Like you said,

it’s a fan thing. More like a geek-y obsession, actually.

PV- A real fan thing is when you can

list all of the characters in a film without practising.

Googly-Bear · February 27, 2007, 10:03pm

sniff sniff

do I sense… a new Pixar couple??? rolls eyebrows like Jack Black XD

it’s true Mitch, I

can name all of the Star Wars characters.

Gasduude · February 27, 2007, 10:42pm

Googly-Bear- All the charactars? Or just the main ones? I mean, have you seen the

Star Wars Encyclopedia? Dude! It’s huge!

Googly-Bear · February 27, 2007, 11:51pm

I

can’t name all the characters, but I can name all of the main ones and the

secondary characters.

but I probably couldn’t spell them.

The_Star_Swordsman · February 28, 2007, 2:37am

Makes me wonder how many

characters (including the named minor ones) will be in Ratatouille.

Mitch · February 28, 2007, 4:32am

The Star Swordsman - Eh, probably the usual

amount…

You’ve got the main character (Remy) and his select family members (Django – dad; Emile –

brother). Then you also have the friend/sidekick who tags along with the hero throughout the film (Linguini), the

pretty girl (Colette), and the antagonist who thinks only for himself (Skinner). And then you have your side

characters that add a little more “flair and care” to the movie (Auguste Gusteau and Anton Ego). Maybe

a few minor, backround characters will be added to the mix, as well (various other rats/animals; backround

people).

We’ll just have to see what happens, though.

Googly-Bear -

Off-Topic - (snigger) I can name all the Star Wars

characters, too.

PixarVixen · February 28, 2007, 5:23am

Well, practicing is essential when you haven’t been

able to watch the darn movie yet.

~~=oP

Mitch · February 28, 2007, 5:24am

Puh-ha! I was waiting to hear you say that, PV.

Mitch · March 1, 2007, 8:14pm

Hey guys, I never did mention this…but:

Emile - [i]eh -

meel[/i]
Emile - “a meal”

Coindicence? I think it’s

cute, especially if the people at Pixar chose that particular name on purpose due to its apparent

“homonym”. (snigger)

I told JV about this before-hand, so he

knows.

Gasduude · March 1, 2007, 10:41pm

Mitch-Oh, it’s pronounced like that? Or are you just making a comparison?

I

thought it was: EM-I-LEE

Mitch · March 1, 2007, 10:42pm

Depends on how

you pronounce it, I guess. I always thought it was “eh - meel”, but perhaps not?

But if you

pronounce it the way I do, you can see the comparison.

Gasduude · March 1, 2007, 10:57pm

Mitch-Yep.Guess so.

Now Remy is pronounced REH-MEE right? I’ve always wondered this.

Mitch · March 1, 2007, 11:17pm

Yep – you got

it! It’s pronounced “reh-mee”, like you said.

I’m not exactly sure how each character’s

name is uttered in the film, but I guess this is a pretty accurate list:

Remy - [i]reh’

mee[/i]
Emile - [i]eh

meel’[/i]
Linguini - [i]ling gwee’

ney[/i]
Colette - [i]coh

let’[/i]
Django - dee jang’ go

Auguste Gusteau - ah gust’ - goo stoh’

So

yeah. That’s my list.

Gasduude · March 1, 2007, 11:23pm

Nice list!
I think I agree

with every one except Auguste Gusteau. I thought his last name was pronounced guh stew’.

But your the

expert!
