Who is this "Vermin"?

I agree, and it was a very brave road for Pixar to take, considering nearly all past

Disney movies, which all feature the antagonist/protagnist theme throughout, and usually, the whole stroryline

will be focused on this. With Pixar, on the other hand, good guys vs. bad guys is just a little part of a large

story- as it should be!

#22

Yes, indeed. This is what makes Pixar so unique from

other studios/companies: They have their own, effective style. :wink:

#23

Add to that the

unbroken winning streak that they have:)

Of course, their streak is simply a direct consequence of the

“effective style” that you mentioned. I’m pretty sure (and I certainly hope) that it wouldn’t end

with Ratatouille. Who knows? Maybe it will never end… Improbable, I know. But

whoever said having seven consecutive brilliant movies wasn’t improbable?

#24

BTW: Auguste Gousteaou is man, isn’t he?
And I’m wondering if they’re gonna be more human main characters.

:astonished:

Ratatouille!!! I can’t wait!!

Well, Auguste Gusteau is voiced by

Brad Garrett, who is a man, so… need I say more?

EDIT: I completely neglected the possibility that by

“man”, you might have meant “person”. If that were the case, then the answer is yes, Auguste

Gusteau is a human being.

Mmm…yes, I quite agree. Their reputation for hitting the ball out of the

park is high, and I don’t expect their enthusiasm and love of making successful films will end anytime soon.

Disney used to be like them…when the great man himself was still around. They made astonishing film after

astonishing film. Too bad it’s not like that now, huh? (sigh) :cry:

#27

Well, let’s

hope the increased influence from John Lasseter, et al. can change that.

#28

Yes, indeed. So far, he’s cut off all the Disney sequels. At least he is doing

his job over there; you’ve gotta hand him that. :wink:

#29

Yeah. That’s what I meant. :slight_smile:
And I still wonder, if there are going to be

more rat characters than humans in the movie. Your thoughts?
Personally, I’d think that only the rats will be

REAL characters, if you know what I mean. :slight_smile:

#30

More or less like Finding Nemo. P. Sherman

and Darla and all were there and all, but they were definitely secondary characters. Yeah, I see Ratatouille

being the same way.

#31

I dunno - the chef seems to be a pretty substantial

character. This could be a new step for Pixar to have animals and humans together in a setting that works!

#32

Wait Dash, what about the fish in Finding Nemo

in the dentist setting?

#33

They never

interacted with any meaning though. At best they just played the role of fish and human and generally action

took place between just the humans or just the animals. This may be a case where we actually have animals and

humans conciously working with one another - especially if Remy is personified to the chef as well as to the

audience.

#34

Dash: I agree. From the looks of it, Ratatouille will

be the first Pixar film to feature/include animal-human interactions. According to a certain “source”

– via the internet – , Remy creates an award winning soup, which raises the star-rating of the restaurant (and

the chef) even higher.

However, since I forgot where I found this information, I’m not sure if it is

entirely accurate. It probably is true, but I won’t say any more here…just in case I’m wrong. :wink:

#35

Hmm, that would be an

interesting route to take…It would make more sense, though, for the chef to have more of a developed part.

Yeah, I’d really like to see that in a Pixar film, especially as it hasn’t been done before.
