If you've seen the film, you'll also see there is much more rat in this film than anything Mickey has ever done. /cs

Now, therefore, be it resolved, that I, Thomas J. Davids, Mayor of the City of San Carlos, do hereby Proclaim June 29, 2007 as "Ratatouille Day" in the City of San Carlos and wish much success to Vice Mayor Brad Lewis and Disney/Pixar in the release of Ratatouille. Dated this 2nd day of June, 2007. /S/ THOMAS J. DAVIDS, MAYOR CITY OF SAN CARLOS LOL! I know the mayor well, but I haven't met the vice-mayor. I guess I should make a point of it! The preview and Pixar tour were $250, so I didn't go. I guess I'm just simmering with excitement.
