[…] “After THE IRON GIANT, THE INCREDIBLES and now [RATATOUILLE], I feel it is safe to say that Brad Bird is the closest thing there is to the Miyazaki of America.” -Heidi MacDonald […]

Well, this is the first time I’ve heard someone say it made them cry — now I know I have to see it. You would think that after seven films Pixar would be slowing down, I know they have several years to sus out a storyline, but still there are many that have taken longer only to come upw with complete rubbish — I can’t wait to see if they have done it again.

I can’t wait to see this film on the 4th of July. My plan is to see two films on that day. It is probably the first totally CGI film since The Incredibles.

I have to say that when I first saw the ads for this it looked like the most repulsively stupid thing in the universe. I’m still on the fence, you might say.

Ah, yes, the great Brad Bird - first he rips off Iron Man, then The Fantastic Four, and now Mickey Mouse.

This highly original saint of CGI indeed knows no bounds!

I would suggest that his next such project of perfection might feature as the main character a spider, perhaps?

But far be it from me to dare presume that this genius might need any help in that direction. And so I’ll say only bravo, sir! Bravo!

Thanks for the heads up, Heidi.
I’ve been looking forward to this for a while.
I’m an easy tear-jerker myself, so reading that it got you is good news.

I have been looking forward to this for soooo long. I have had the mad love for Bird since Family Dog.

Having been a friend of many rats for six years now, I was tickled by how well they captured Remy’s rattiness, both in the running about and his appeal otherwise.
I love the way the people look in this. So delightfully stylized and still so human.

I’m so looking forward to Ratatouille!

In the same vein I found this today, it’s so good too:

Brad Bird really is a genius. I can’t help but wonder if Miyazaki just hasn’t had a lot more time to beat back studio interference where really Bird is just finally putting together that string of ‘incredible’ films that will finally get him a little more slack from the money guys.
