Somebody at Pixar take drawing lessons? This is the best character design they've ever come up with. Even the humans look, well, human. No imlausibly tiny legs, stretched-out bods...they still can't animate hands, but I digress... Cute plush, various small plastic toys, t-shirts, and the very creative recipe box. The party store also had paper plates, tablecloths, napkins, stickers, etc. Did I mention how cute Remy is?

Originally Posted By FiveBearRugs I was tempted to buy the beanie baby plush of Chef Skinner (it was only $6.50), but I then realized since this IS a Pixar film, there will most likely be a myriad of figures and merchandise at Toys R Us, Target, Walmart, etc. I also saw jigsaw puzzles in a wine glass, Ratatatatatatatatatouille balancing on a can of tomatoes, the giant rat plushes and it looks like activity pads of some sort.
Originally Posted By cstephens They had lots of stuff at the Disney Store I visited during lunch. They had two sizes of plush for Remy and Emile, and I saw a giant-sized Emile as well. Still too rat-like for me, but I think anyone who actually likes rats will like them. They also had plush of Remy's dad, Skinner, Gasteau and Ego. I *had* to get the plush for Ego. They had bigger plush of Linguini and Collette. The PVCs didn't do anything for me. They had other manner of random toys as well. They had a plastic spaghetti sticky thing that I thought was pretty disgusting. And they had costumes of Remy and Emile for kids. Oh, and they had t-shirts for kids. My favorite stuff was the kitchen items, though. I managed to let myself only buy the set of four different coasters. They also have a set of four cheese plates. I'm going to wait, and when the stuff goes on sale and if they have any left, they're mine. I guess I should be thankful they don't have more plates in the line, because I'd totally want those. They had linen-type napkins in the same set, but I don't think I'll get those. I liked the various cooking sets, and I liked the apron with mouse oven mitt as well as the apron with chef's hat. I like the apron that goes with the chef's hat better because it says "little chef". They also had a plastic picnic set. If that's still there when stuff goes on sale, I'll have to think about it, even though I really have no use for it, but it's so cute! And yes, I've found that my interest in the merchandise is a good indication of how much I like the film. I think this will be a film that I'll like the more I see it. I keep thinking about different scenes and different lines. I don't think it will ever rise to the level of "Monsters, Inc." for me, but it might end up being my second favorite Pixar film. /cs

I thought the giant ones were a beanbag chair maybe? I didn't look too closely. All the MTR merchandise was on clearance at our local Disney store.
Originally Posted By FiveBearRugs I looked at Toys R Us and Target to see if they had any Ratatouille merchandise available, but it appears that the Disney Store is the only place. TRU did have a lot of Sally cars in stock though. If there are no action figures or Happy Meal toys of them, I'll probably end up buying the Skinner plush.
Originally Posted By FiveBearRugs Well, according to Amazon, there's quite a few non-Disney Store merchandise out (then again it is a Pixar film). Apparently we got another Disneyized version of a classic game; whereas Dead Man's Chest offered Liar's, er, Pirate's Dice, Ratatouille has the Kitchen Quake Game, which y'all might know better as Mouse Trap. There are action figures, but it doesn't appear to be the entire cast yet, at least not individually. Why do I have this feeling that Skinner will soften up at the end of the film, a la Nathan Lane in "Mouse Hunt" or Amos Slade in "The Fox and the Hound"? <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw/103-9546958-8012661?url=search-alias" target="_blank">http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb _ss_gw/103-9546958-8012661?url=search-alias</a>%3Daps&field-keywords=ratatouille
Originally Posted By SIR at X-S Tech Disneyland has a selection of Toys similar to the Disney Store. DL didn't have all of the Kids cooking stuff, just toys and the Remy Plush. I haven't wanted to buy toys from Disney films for a few years now, but for some reason Remy really appeals to me. I may not be able to resist. I love how the carboard backing for all the figures look like they've been chewed on by rats. It's pretty convincing.

Originally Posted By FiveBearRugs I haven't seen anything at Target or Toys R Us, and then today at the "Disney" Store, I saw the talking figures of the cast. The latter toys require like 3 AG or 4G9 cell batteries or whatever is required. Back in my day, we had our AA batteries and we liked them!
Originally Posted By FiveBearRugs I saw some stuff at Toys R Us yesterday. Their Disney stuff (with the exception of Cars) is pretty much hidden in their section with the preschool toys. They had the lone figures of the rats; each with their own accessory. Git lifts an olive barbell, another one rides on a tin of sardines, another one launches a grape. I also saw the sewer playset, the PVC gift set with the main characters, a talking Remy (squeeze his nose) and a remote-control Remy, which I'm sure parent would just LOVE. I guess I'll probably go for the beanie plush of Skinner at the Disney Store.
Originally Posted By gurgitoy2 I just saw the movie on Wednsday, and now I REALLY want to buy a Remy plush! I agree that he's the most endearing character Pixar has done yet. Even Nemo wasn't that compelling to me. Maybe it's because Remy almost looks like a Muppet, LOL? Still, I want to go to the NYC World of Disney and see what they have.
Originally Posted By cstephens FYI, they have some exclusive servingware that's available only at the Studio Store next to the El Capitan. I have a review posted in the Disney Animated section with pictures of the merchandise if anyone's interested. /cs
Originally Posted By FiveBearRugs Apparently there's also Pez dispensers of the cast, as someone sent me a Skinner dispenser in the mail. I can only imagine what Patton Oswalt's Comedy Central Roast would be like, if they ever gave him one...
