The Anatole books would make for a cool Pixar movie, but maybe it was a matter of obtaining rights to the character. ?

Originally Posted By idleHands "Please post a link if you've seen any art of Ratatouille." I cannot post a link; don't have one. But I did see a teaser trailer for Ratatouille at Pixar last night, before seeing "Cars" as part of a charity event we attended. I'm definitely interested in seeing this film now. Cute teaser. Ratatouille was describing (and demonstrating) his 'difficulties' of being a rat with strong desires for gourmet cuisine, compared to his rat friends and family members, who'd rather eat like, well, rats. I like the look of Ratatouille and his fellow rodents. Just enough cuteness factor to keep them from being disgusting, without making them too cartoonish. 8^)

There's a description of the trailer there. Haven't come across any images yet. I am glad to hear Brad Bird is now on board to direct. He has such a great way with story. Can you imagine if The Iron Giant was a Pixar film? That would be amazing. It's amazing as is and even more charming as a traditionally drawn animated feature. But just think what a difference the Pixar/Disney marketing machine could have made with this under-seen film. It should have been a monster hit for Warner Bros.
