EEEEEE!

Tivo has just shown me a 9-minute preview of Ratatouille! It is a Pixar movie! About a rat! Who cooks! OMG it is like they made it just for me!

I am so excited! Because OMG! The rat! He is so cute! I watched and even though he is an anthropomorphized rat, he still does rattie little things and the way he stands on his hind legs!!!! Exclamation point!

Um, sorry. But... the only thing I could say for nine entire minutes was: AWWWW SO CUTE! SO CUTE! SO CUTE!

But yes! Cooking rat! So cute!

I saw an ad on a phone booth for that movie today, & wondered if it would be any good. Encouraging to hear that it is rat-realistic, @ least!

[oyceter]

I am inclined to be generous, since a) it is Pixar, b) it is about food, and c) RATTIES OMG EEE!

But I am a little biased about that last one, just maybe ;).

Once when I was a kid my mom was making ratatouille. We asked what was in it and she said "Everything you don't like, mixed together". Isn't that a great description of a food item? :) I am glad you like rats!

I adore rats! They are so cute! I watched the trailer and then ran to my own rats and pet them and told them they were adorable.

It does look cute, though the fact that the rat & the cook he directs are Americans in France made me roll my eyes rather in the movie preview.

(Which suggests the rat is French, which is not at all the impression the trailer gave.)

[oyceter]

Hrm, yeah. Well, from the website, I think the guy is French too, or at least he has a very French name.

[oyceter]

Oh, oops, never mind. I mistook the guy's name for the restauranteur's name! Linguini does not sound French at all ;).

Sounds like a rip-off of Flushed Away.

[oyceter]

Why, because it has a rat in it?

The previews for both of them came out around the same time, and given the amount of time it takes to develop animated movies, I think it's just one of those weird cases of Hollywood-think.

Semi-related cuteness

OK, it's not a rat, but this amuses me greatly (via icanhascheezburger.com):

AWWW! Rodenty cuteness!

I saw a trailer for it over the weekend and thought of you & the rats!

;-)

[oyceter]

Awwww!

We're probably going to see Ratatouille on opening night with my partner and her co-workers.

What does my partner do?

She's a chef. Her co-workers? All chefs.

[oyceter]

Oh, that is awesome!!

Didn't you leave the "SQU" off the "EEEEEE!"? That would be more in the rat range.

Anyway, I saw a preview almost a year ago, and will be paying rare first-run price: Pixar may not quite be ghod, but they simulate her! Each movie, except maybe Cars (which is probably where I saw the preview) has had little tricks to make the geeks say Kill Me Now. I mean, like, totally underwater, where ALL the ray-tracing goes through the ripples and waves of the surface of the water? kill me now
