I'm not sure, but I'll bet she found it an Animation Nation.

I saw it too and
was going to post it but thought: "Oh well, maybe someone already did.."

I wonder if the meal he's cooking is really Ratatouille. It seems to me.

Kinda random but....did you guys know that Brad Bird's real first name is Philip?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brad_Bird

And apparently, at least for now, he's set to play the "waiter" in Ratatouille: Wik lists him in the cast.

Of course they could be mistaken. Plus did anyone else know about his name? Is it a common fact?

Also, I don't know if these plot outlines were already posted, but here's some details on a bunch of Disney films via Disney consumer products:

Some mild spoilers, but these might already be common knowledge so....*shrugs*

I think the Ratatouille one has the most detail.

classic Disney animated fairy tale meets with the modern, live-action romantic comedy in Walt Disney Pictures' Enchanted. Featuring an all-star cast, the film follows the beautiful princess Giselle (AMY ADAMS) as she is banished by an evil queen (SUSAN SARANDON) from her magical, musical animated land and finds herself in the gritty reality of the streets of modern-day Manhattan. Shocked by this strange new environment that doesn't operate on a "happily ever after" basis, Giselle is now adrift in a chaotic world badly in need of enchantment. But when Giselle begins to fall in love with a charmingly flawed divorce lawyer (PATRICK DEMPSEY) who has come to her aid—even though she is already promised to a perfect fairy tale prince (JAMES MARSDEN) back home—she has to wonder: can a storybook view of romance survive in the real world?

After taking audiences on incredible journeys to the worlds of cars, superheroes, fish and toys, only the amazing storytellers at Pixar Animation Studios (Cars, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles) could create an entirely new and original world where the unthinkable combination of 5-star restaurants and rats come together for the ultimate fish-out-of-water tale.

In the new animated-adventure, Ratatouille, a rat named Remy dreams of becoming a great French chef despite his family's wishes and the obvious problem of being a rat in a decidedly rodent-phobic profession. When fate places Remy in the sewers of Paris, he finds himself ideally situated beneath a restaurant made famous by his culinary hero, Auguste Gusteau. Despite the apparent dangers of being an unlikely - and certainly unwanted - visitor in the kitchen of a fine French restaurant, Remy's passion for cooking soon sets into motion a hilarious and exciting rat race that turns the culinary world of Paris upside down.

Remy finds himself torn between his calling and passion in life or returning forever to his previous existence as a rat. He learns the truth about friendship, family and having no choice but to be who he really is, a rat who wants to be a chef. Directed by Academy Award(r)-winning Brad Bird (The Incredibles) and co-directed by Academy Award(r)-winning Jan Pinkava (Geri's Game), Ratatouille is slated for release on June 29, 2007.

Meet the Robinsons is a story about Lewis—a brilliant twelve-year-old with a surprising number of clever inventions to his credit. His latest and most ambitious project is the Memory Scanner, a machine that will help him find his birth mother so they can become a family. But before he can find her, his invention is stolen by the dastardly Bowler Hat Guy and his diabolical hat - and constant companion - Doris. Lewis has all but given up hope in his future when a mysterious boy named Wilbur Robinson whisks our bewildered hero away in a time machine and the two travel forward in time to spend a day with Wilbur's eccentric family. In a world filled with flying cars and floating cities, they hunt down Bowler Hat Guy, save the future and uncover the amazing secret of the Robinson family. Based upon the book "A Day with Wilbur Robinson" by William Joyce.

EDIT: Oops, I guess maybe they were posted.....

Was that necessary?
We all know that IMDB doesn't know what it is doing...

Hello, everyone!

Well...after browsing this site many times, I finally decided to become a member of this lovely forum board. I am also a member of the Pixar Planet website, so some of you may know me....

I hope to have a great time here...even though I feel a little odd in being a member of two animation websites -- heheh.

Anyway, onto the chase...

I am a huge Pixar fan, and have been so since I first saw Toy Story in theaters. Ever since then, I have been hooked....

As for Ratatouille, well, I am absolutely ecstatic that Pixar is finally making a film about rats -- a good film about rats (finally!). I've already watched the official Ratatouille teaser trailer over 30/40 times, so I can proudly say that I am addicted. Just wait until the film itself comes out -- I'm gonna be spending alot of money on theater tickets....
