Lisa>> I think that Ratatouille will live up to your expectations. It has a funny premise and a strong story, backed up by beautiful art-direction and animation. It is my favourite film that I have worked on so far.

I was disappointed by Cars (I hate to say!) but am really looking foward to this one. The trailers look fabulous!

John>> yes. It does look absolutely fantastic. The best looking CG movie I have ever seen, in fact.

Daniel>> I worked on boards for about a year and a half and, as is always the case, not all of it made it to the screen.

Benton>> No i didn’t make it into the ART OF book, sadly. I did some early pre-vis, before the film even got a green light, but I am not surprised that stuff didn’t make the cut, because it was so long ago (early 2000 in fact) and there was so much super artwork that HAD to be squeezed into the book.

In particular, I am happy to see that THIS book includes the beautiful sculpts by Greg Dykstra. Sculpts have always been left out of the Pixar ART OF books before.

There is only one film I have been REALLY looking forward to this year, and it’s this one! I’m already sold by the trailers and featurettes. Are you in the “art of” book? I haven’t had a chance to examine it closely…

Splendid.

I’ve been watching my interest develop from “kinda interested” to “extremely interested” based on the fantastic characters, the cool story, and the innovative camera/animation.

You were right on the mark with your Cars review, so I’m thrilled that you really enjoyed Rat-ta… ratatata… Ratatouille.

How much of it did you storyboard?
