Whaddya say, little pals? Let’s help him sing your song!

[spoiler]“Key a G, fellas, and swing it.”

♫“We’ll follow you to Mars, or wherever you people go.
We rats are right there down below.
We’ve traveled near and far, with swamis, geisha, thugs, and czars,
in planes and boats and submarines. We’ve sailed from Liverpool to Queens.
We’re even in Qatar, or wherever you people go.
We all adore François Truffaut.

Abandon musophobia and embrace a new utopia.
Butterflies and puppy dogs, summer evenings, crispy frogs.
Imagine if you will a world where woman, rats, and men and children
live in peace and harmony. We’re even holding hands.
We’re dancing through the streets and singing cabaret songs. Oo la LA la.
Join with us. We’ll make a human ratty wonderland.
We’ll help you tie your shoes when you don’t feel like bending over,
and perhaps you’ll take that trap from out behind the pantry door.
We’ll say “Bonjour!” and “How’s the family?” when we pass each other
on the street, and just like that we won’t be strangers anymore.

So here we go to Mars, with our stories intertwined,
and all the ones who tried to kill us, now we know that you won’t mind.
We’ll journey through the stars, and whatever else may be…
We all hate that lousy fleeeeeeEA!"♫[/spoiler]

Elikrotupos and LeBatEnRouge - Heheh. Yeah, it’s really cute. I’m in an “animated” mood now, too. :smiley:

Ahhh! That stupid song! I’ve had it stuck in my head all morning and I can’t get it out of my brain… I had to watch the darn thing to satisfy my hunger, but now I won’t be completely relaxed until I’ve memorized all of the lyrics.

Voila’:

[spoiler][i]We’ll follow you to Mars,

And singing cabaret songs,
Oh-la-la-la, join with us,
We’ll make a human ratty wonderland.

And perhaps you’ll take that trap,
From out behind the pantry door.
We’ll say, “Bonjour,”

When we pass each other on the street,
And just like that we won’t be strangers anymore.

So here we go to Mars,
With our stories entertwined,
And although once you tried to kill us,
Now we know that you won’t mind.
We’ll journey through the stars,
And whatever else may be,
We all hate that louse flea,
That lousy fleeeeaaaaa!![/i][/spoiler]

Stupid song. Now I can get the tune out of my head. :stuck_out_tongue:

Heheh. I’m just kidding. It’s cute; in fact, I think it’s adorable. They had to add a catchy tune to it to make it addicting. (snigger)

Edit: Blast it, PV!! There’s no way that you beat me!! Will I have to add spoiler tags to the lyrics now? :stuck_out_tongue:

Awwww, I’m sorry, Mitch! Heheh. :stuck_out_tongue:

My lyrics would’ve been posted earlier, but Firefox didn’t warn me when it quit. Grr.

~~=oP

#104

Heheh. That’s ok. I spoke too soon… That’s what happens when I have PMS and get a song stuck in my head. :laughing:

Thanks for putting the spoiler tags on there, by the way. :wink:

#105

thank you very much! and now, let’s sing! :sunglasses:

#106

Haha, the song has been stuck in my head ALL morning, so I decided to watch it with my sister for about the hundreth time :stuck_out_tongue:

I just realized how much Remy and Emile in Your Friend the Rat remind me of my sister and I. Just the whole “We’re taking a stand? I thought we were gonna joke around and have fun…” (something along those lines :stuck_out_tongue:). My sister always acts like that when we’re making little movies at home. She always wants to have fun, and i’m always wanting to be all serious. It’s pretty funny :wink:

#107

This was awesome, I loved how they put a 2D Linguini into it. They should have done it with Colette as well :stuck_out_tongue:

It was also great how they put the “Anyone Can Cook” book in the background

#108

remy_must_save_henri: Really? They put Anyone Can Cook! c=in the background? Where was that? I don’t remember seeing it anywhere in YFTR.

Oh I see it! Thanks for the pic rmsh!

#111

I noticed that as well. I thought it was cool that they added that in! :smiley:

#112

Oh my gosh this was soo funny.I finally got a chance to rent the dvd,and as much as I hate to say it (this hurts)It was better than Mater and The Ghostlight.ouch :neutral_face: :frowning: .The funnest part was the [spoil]Disclaimer part at the end.[/spoil] :laughing:

#113

I loved that part! Pixar’s amazing with amaking up disclaimers (http://www.buynlarge.com), and I love that one quote…“It’s like, embedded in their DNA!” 8D

Remy’s negative ways are hilarious! His shouts, his complaints, they’re all so funny!

#114

Now that I finally got the DVD yesterday I can finally comment on it! I did find it amusing and quite funny. I loved the [spoil]line about the death skulls too![/spoil] And I was trying to read [spoil]as much of the disclaimer as I could before Remy and Emile broke it up[/spoil] But by far the thing that made me laugh the hardest was when they mentioned Liverpool and showed the Beatles. I was like, “yes!!! Beatles!!!” Beatles and Pixar finally together in the same thing! They did the likenesses really well and I love how John is giving a peace sign (which he often did, being a peace advocate) and Paul giving a thumbs up (which he often does, because, well, he’s Paul and that’s what he does) I love the way they put all those different animation styles together! You wouldnt think it would flow that way but it worked!

#115

You know, I didn’t think we needed any spoiler tags for YFTR, but it looks like we do. I think most members have seen it now, so I’m not going to use any spoiler tags in this post, but if there remains a need to, then feel free to correct me.

Anyway,

Really? I don’t remember seeing that part. Probably because it was going by so fast. But I’ve got to see it! That would be so funny! Oh, the disclaimer? I’ll get that for you: :nerd:

Here it is!

xD

#116

I did notice that in the disclaimer section, some of it was repeated, But I think the narrator went all the way through without repeating.

I got to see a cool little bit when I got to go to Pixar in September, they showed how they made the chalkboard scene. Apparently, someone drew the scene frame by frame on slides, then they were projected onto a chalkboard and someone else went and traced every single frame onto the board. And if you look at the eraser marks, they erased it just so it looked like rocket exhaust. :slight_smile: I would’ve thought it was CGI had I not have known this.

#117

That is cool. How did you get into the studios, Clownfish? That is amazing!

#118

By the way, I found the wikipedia article for Francois Truffaut:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fran%C3%A7ois_Truffaut

I have no idea what he had to do with rats and such.

#119

Well, that part had something to do with a movie theatre, and he was a French filmmaker, so…eh. Maybe they were trying to get the idea across that humans and rats can share time together? :confused: :confused: :confused: :question: :question: :question: :neutral_face: :neutral_face: :neutral_face:

#120

Or maybe it’s an inside joke they put in that only Pixar employees and a few adults in the audience would get. Either way, it was funny to suddenly break out of subject for a moment during the song. :smiley:

And about the trip - they had an annual fundraiser going on back in September for members of the Cartoon Art Museum site to purchase tickets and get to explore Pixar studios. It was my first flight and we flew alllllll the way from the Florida coast to San Francisco. We got to see the premiere of Your Friend the Rat and got to hear Mark Andrews, Dylan Brown, and Sharon Calahan speak. It’s something they have going every September now, I believe.
