Visited a blog that focused on PIXAR's projects. There was a discussion of what films are in pre and full production after "Cars".
One is "Ratatouille", the story of a rat living in a fancy restaurant in Paris. Get it? "Ratatouille"? Ha-ha*...eh.
It's slated for a summer 2007 release. Brad Garett (who was Bloat in Finding Nemo and Dim in A Bug's Life) has been cast as the voice of the chef who owns the restaurant.
After that? Lots of rumors. Perhaps the most interesting rumor being that Brad Bird wants to do a film noir style movie. In this case an adaptation of Will Eisner's legendary comic strip, The Spirit!
Now -that- would be interesting.
There's also talk of reviving "Musicana" a film described as sort of a "world music" follow-up to Fantasia.

Who knows what will happen now that Disney is in charge.
I find it hard to believe they will pass up on the guaranteed $$$ of Nemo and Incredibles sequels.
It will also be interesting to see if Jobs can be a team player on the Disney Board. He has never really been able to do that. Of course he could bring in a new vision. It could be great or a time bomb.

I don't get it. Do I need to know French to get it?

No. You need to like food.

*shrug*
They scrapped plans for Toy Story 3, and said any sequels to the Pixar films would be done the makers of said films.
Pixar didn't object to sequels, -period-...just to Toy Story 3, as they felt (for now) that the story they wanted to tell with those characters is over.

Would you mind explaining it to me, Tom?

mph - you're not alone. I don't understand it either, and I love food.

The dish is pronounced "RAT-tat-ooie" and seeing there's a rat in the film, it's not much of a stretch.
I make a mean Ratatouille myself, learned while living in the south of France. It uses couscous as a base and mixes in veggies (like eggplant) and meat and lots of spices.
I don't add much rat in it, as I prefer a bit o'rat with my spam.
