Haha! Yeah, exactly. I had the same feeling. I was just sitting in the theater, sweating my clothes off, when the film started, and I was thinking, “It’s…it’s here. I’m finally getting to see it…” 'Twas one of the weirdest feelings of my life… (snigger)

I’ve seen “Ratatouille” twice, and I’d say it’s Pixar’s second-best film. “Monsters, Inc” still takes the cake for me. I’m so buying it once it comes out. 
Ah, nice review Ryan. I have seen it once, so compared to you, my viewing numbers are pathetic. But I too can’t wait for the Ratatouille DVD.
Gasduude - Heh heh. Yeah. That’s exactly what I was like. Did you enjoy it more after the excitement about actually seeing it wore off?
Mitch - LOL Yeah, that’s what my brain was doing. 
Yes. very much so. You start really understanding the characters, get used to the setting etc… Don’t worry too much, it’s all good. 
Gasduude - Cool. Thanks Phew That has made me so relieved.
Sure, have fun!
The last weekend I went to Paris. I finally saw Ratatouille in glorious DLP and I can say that it’s my favourite Pixar movie.From a technical pov is the best CG picture ever,but where it really stands out is the story and characters department.
PS: also the short Lifted is my favourite one!
…lucky. 
Hey Clabot! Could You tell us what exactly cinema have you seen digital Ratatouille in ? I’m going to see this movie soon in one of parisians cinemas but couldn’t find which one provides DLP quality. Thanks in advance

Sure : I saw Ratatouille chez Gaumont Champs-Elysées Marignan
27 Avenue des Champs-Elysées - 75008 Paris
In the afternoon they show the french version - in the evening the original language version avec subtitles.
I want to publicly thank the guy of Pixar Room France who kindly gave me this precious advice.
The only sad note: no Wall-e trailer sigh!
Oh, Kinoo, I LOVE your review! I haven’t read French for years, but this is so good and so well-written, with such affection and thought.
I love where you say
The timelessness links to the old-world charm you speak of later.
And it’s so true that taking the time to develop the characters makes all the difference.
I think the absolute genius was when you said this next bit. This is something I had subliminally noticed but never put my finger on.
That is a truly amazing observation, especially combined with this bit where you say
This is so true - [spoil]the reference to DNA [/spoil]situated it firmly within the last ten years, but I felt, throughout the movie, that it was much more of a 1940s or 1950s feel, and I’m so glad you said that.
Indeed. This is an AMAZING review. Did you publish it professionally somewhere?
…and, Archibald - thank you thank you thank you - I cannot tell you how amazed and enlightened and stunned I am by the passage from Proust. There’s no question that the scene from the movie was based on that - and perhaps it explains why I cry from that scene till the end of the movie. Every. Single.Time.
Merci Beaucoup Clabot I’ll try the same Are all their screenings of Ratatouille shown within DLP technology or only selected ones ?
Great news.
I SAW IT THIS AFTERNOON!!!
It was beautiful, but I can’t talk right now. I just wanted to let you guys now. I’ll write a bigger review tomorrow.
But I tell you this: in the words of Sally…

I think every show is digitally projected, at least in the 1 auditorium.
Merci
Mitch - Lol, yeah! 
You already knew I was gonna love it… And so did I!
Gasduude - Thanks! How could I possibly not have fun?
Well, here’s my review/report. I’m going to write whatever comes to my mind… 
Sunday, August 19th 2007. Boy, I’m not gonna forget that date so easily.
At 16.35 pm I was already sat in the theater. My heart was pumping at a thousand miles per hour. I was so excited that I felt like no one nor nothing could take me off the chair or stopping me from watching the movie. First, there were the commercials. It looked like my heart was about to take off, I didn’t know when was the movie going to start.
Finally, at 16.45pm it was all starting. First there was the WALL*E teaser and the Lifted short. I’m not gonna talk about them right now, but they were a great appetizer.
Then, the movie started. Now yes, my heart took off. I couldn’t stop smiling. I felt so warm inside… So happy… I haven’t felt that happy in ages.
The movie was absolutely beyond anything I’ve ever expected. It had the right portion of action, the right portion of humor, the right portion of passion. The animation is jaw-dropping, and the look of the movie has to be the best I’ve ever seen. EVER. The characters, the sets, the backgrounds… Every little detail was perfectly designed and animated. I mean, I never realized how cute and passionate Remy is, how clumsy, yet sincere Linguini is, how strong, yet romantic Colette is or how evil, yet funny Skinner is until I saw Ratatouille.
Another thing that I loved was how dedicated and passionate Remy was. I never realized that before. But you know the lines that really made me smile?
[spoil]Remy: “I know who I am! Why do I need to pretend?!”
Gusteau: “Ahh, but you don’t, Remy. You never did.” [/spoil]
When first I heard that… I felt so warm inside… <img src=“{SMILIES_PATH}/love2.gif” alt=“:loves:” title="In
Love" />
Now, about my favorite character: Linguini!! Seriously, like the movie itself, he was beyond what I was expecting. He was that kind of sweet, cute, nice and shy guy I’d like to meet someday. 
Really.
What else to talk about? I don’t know… I believe there are no words that can describe this film. No words can describe what I felt inside while watching it. No words can describe that sensation… When I left the theater, everything I wanted to do was go back in and watch it again. C’mon, I took my mom, and she loved it! She doesn’t usually “loves” an animated movie, she just “likes” it. I don’t know why my brother didn’t go see it with us. Personally, I think he was crazy for not wanting to see it. He doesn’t know what he missed. He doesn’t even imagine.
I could go on and on and on talking how much I loved it. I wish I could type more, but the words don’t come to my mind… Like I said before, no words can describe it. You guys got the idea. I give it 15 out of 10.
I have now officially a new favorite movie: Ratatouille.
I’ll never forget it.
A huge thank you to everyone at Pixar who made this film. It’s marvelous. <img src=“{SMILIES_PATH}/love2.gif” alt=“:loves:” title="In

Hahaaaa!!! That’s absolutely wonderful, Maggie! And now you know how I feel… (heheh) <img src=“{SMILIES_PATH}/love2.gif” alt=“:loves:” title="In
Love" />
Heheh. My thoughts exactly, Maggie. My thoughts exactly… <img src=“{SMILIES_PATH}/love2.gif” alt=“:loves:” title="In
