Pixar is not only the best animation studio in the movie business today… they are the best movie studio period (yes yes yes… I know they’re owned by Disney now). Seriously, think about it for a moment. What other movie studio can you say is 7 for 7? A Bug’s Life, Toy Story, Toy Story 2, The Inscredibles, Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc, Cars… all solid solid films.
At first, I was nervous about the new Brad Bird (the man who won an Oscar for The Incredibles) project “Ratatouille“. Nothing about it jumped out at me… and when you compare the hype and buzz that other Pixar projects generated well in advance, you start to get the feeling Pixar wasn’t as confident in this project as they were in others.
But as I’ve started to see more and more, I’m getting won over. And this trailer pushed me over the edge. Visually the trailer is spectacular… but much more important than that is the characters seems charming and I’m legitimately interested in the story. I’m now officially excited to see this thing.
So if you want to see the Ratatouille trailer in Quicktime or High Def, just go here.
If you’re like me and have no patience, just watch it here:
Thanks to Joel for the heads up.
