May 1 2007Nine Minutes of Ratatouille Online
Disney gambles on the popularity of a cartoon rodent.
Those interested in Pixar's latest effort should head to Disney's site, where nine minutes of the film have been posted. It appears Disney and Pixar have really taken a gamble with this one, daringly presenting the computer-generated story of an anthropomorphized rodent and an unlikely friendship, all with a dose of non-offensive humor and adventure. Additionally, the filmmakers have taken the risk of adding several goofy, somewhat-unbelievable characters to the mix. Strangely, the untested elements combine beautifully, creating a picture that would actually play quite well to two seemingly disparate groups: parents and children.
"Take ten" and watch the nine minutes of footage here. Use the final minute for reflection.
