[b]If you know of any more Ratatouille books please post up. 
[/b]
Have they been released yet?
What an excellent pressent to get someone who loves the movie after watching it. Of
course, I would hate to read it before I watched the movie.
[b]Groaning on a other fourm said that it looks like Remy (in the picture above) looks like he is
cooking Ratatouille. I think he’s right. [/b]

JV - Oh yeah, I knew about
those books ages ago.
However, I have never seen the cover of the book you just posted up until now.
Heheh – it’s adorable. And yes, he just has to be cooking ratatouille! It only
makes sense. Heheh… 
Actually, in my story Remy is supposed to create an award winning meal that
grabs the attention of restaraunt attendees (which is the basis of the real story). And what is the winning meal?
Ratatouille!
I’m gonna put these books on my 2007 Christmas list, if I don’t get them before then…
(snigger) Thanks for posting this up, JV!

JV - Hehe.
Hey, does anyone know where Remy is
in that picture that you posted up above, JV? At first, I thought that he was in his house, but after I looked at
it a little more closely, it seems as if he is situated in either a barn or a kitchen.
Since Remy
originally was supposed to live out in the French countryside, perhaps his family once lived in a barn? Maybe
that’s where he used to cook his meals?
[b]Mitch: I not exactly sure where Remy is in
the picture, but maybe as you said Mitch, a barn, and the barn is where Remy?s family lives…
[spoil]…before he accidentally burns their house down. Maybe the picture with Remy cooking is right
before he accidentally burns their house down, he probably accidentally catches something on fire why he was
cooking and then it was to late to save him and his family?s home.[/spoil][/b]

- Yeah, that’s what I thought. Heh – poor Remy. He tries to do what he loves most and gets an unpleasant
result. Reminds of me when I try to cook – I can’t do it…and when I do…something goes wrong. I’m famous
for my “slug soup”. 
Edit - By the way, would you mind if I
“borrowed” that Ratatouille picture of yours up there for my blog,
JV?
I love those,
‘The Art of…’ books. They really are the best Pixar books around, and the Ratatouille one looks amazing
already!

lizardgirl - Oh, they’re
incredible. Have you read the Art of Finding Nemo book? It’s
amazing…
I’m gonna get that Art of Ratatouille book as soon as it hits
the shelves.
[b]
I don’t mind at all go right ahead. After all I found the picture at
Animated News and they said they found
it at Animation Nation and I don’t know where Animation Nation found it .
I?m looking forward to
reading you?re new post that you are about to put up on your blog.[/b]
I’ve only got the Art of Monsters, Inc., as they’re so
expensive, and that one just truly freaked me out. It’s so scarily different to the final movie, as well…But
yeah, that Ratatouille one looks like it’ll be worth getting.

JV - Thank you very much! I will post up that article on
my blog very soon.
lizardgirl - Ah…I see. And yes, I agree:
The Art of Monsters Inc. has to be one of the scariest books alive…besides some
other novels I’ve read (I won’t name them all here). Perhaps that was the point?
[b]Mitch: Awesome! I can’t wait!
Does anybody know when
the art of Ratatouille book comes out?[/b]
Mitch
#17
JV - Thank you! And I just
put it up, so you can now read it.
The Art of Ratatouille book will be
released on May 3, 2007.
The Ratatouille (Board Book) will hit the shelves
on July 3, 2007.
[b]I just saw
it up on your blog Mitch, it’s awesome! thanks! [/b]

JV - You are most welcome! And thanks.
I’m
already clearing one of the shelves in my house to make way for the Ratatouille dvd.
I’m ecstatic…
Ooooh! Love the cover for [i]The Art of
Ratatouille[/i]!
I have a tip for anyone who wishes to purchase this book when it becomes
available. Try ordering it online if you can. I always order expensive books from Amazon.com because they are
way cheaper. When I bought The Art of Monster House and [i]The Art of
Open Season[/i] together, I saved $30 because I ordered them from Amazon.com.
I’m happy that
they’re going to release a “how-to-draw” book for Ratatouille. There has
been one for every Pixar movie excluding The Incredibles. 
I like to do fan art
in my own style, but any reference is helpful.
