Originally Posted By magnet I guess Disney decided that kids ARE going to want to run up and hug a giant rat after all. They didn't need to go to all that trouble if that was their plan. They could've just sent out [insert least favorite Disney exec name here] for a meet-and-greet. Next question: Now that you have these character suits - the theme of the movie makes it practically impossible to not have them show up at a character meal, right? After all, Remy loves great food! I'm sure the French chefs at EPCOT are going to love having rat characters running around in their restaurant! NOT. Hey, and who wouldn't want to see a giant rat while they're eating. I don't know about you but that just gets my juices a sparkin'

WOO!

This spirit doesn't dine with anything lower on the evolutionary scale than he is ...

I really enjoyed having breakfast with Goofy on my last visit, though I must admit I find Chip and Dale more Philosofical. >> Rats? Hmm ... you might try the Team Disney building. << I anticipated that coming.

Originally Posted By Labuda Speaking of Ratatouille, btw, is anyone else dismaybed that Pixar has to post the pronunciation benath the name of the movie in EVERYTHING? How could a person now know how to pronounce ratatouille?
Originally Posted By ChiMike I think it lends itself to the vibe of the movie. I think once one watches ACT III it kind of becomes a quirk. Besides, I always chalked it up as similiar to not being able to pronounce certain items on a French menu. I agree that Ratatouille is not that hard to pronounce. I know you saw it too Ann, but I'll say again that it sure is awesome to watch!
