And the back cover says:

Rio de Janeiro, the Wonderful City, land of Ipanema, Corcovado, Sugar Loaf and.... Ratatoing. A city where the most gifted chef in town is... a rat!

Sound familiar?

Which is probably true.....

Holy shit why do I feel like I'm looking at naked lady rat? Oh wait, BECAUSE I AM. And that weird pink color combined with the occasional muscle definition makes me think I'm looking at her after her furry skin has been RIPPED OFF to reveal the fleshy carcass underneath.

Just what I want my kids watching, when it comes to knockoff Pixar.

Well, the lady rat is Brazilian and you know the girls there wear next to nothing.

watch the trailer for "Rataoing". The CGI looks pretty good.... for 1986

I know I'm a bit late to the party, but by God, is that whole "Master P" stuff funny! =D>

Tan lines are so tacky.

You know, the sad thing is that I actually applied for a job at the post-production company that put together that trailer for Ratatoing.

They wouldn't take me.

I have also dug in-depth into what Ratatoing and other films like it tell us from their delicious cover art in my essay here

My choice for best quotes from the trailer:

For the tastiest treats: use wits.

Ratatoing, where the best cuisine is found. . . or stolen!

Man, Fred Savage has one raging, red... arrow?

So is Amy Adams on the left and Steven Pasquale on the right, or vice-versa?

At least as a movie it looks better than "Daddy Day Camp."

I really love that Paul Lynde cover. Wish I could get a poster of that to hang up for Halloween.

Having now actually seen the copy of Ratatoing I bought for the store, I must give this a thumbs up for awkward laughs. The extremely jilted narration style (English done by non-native English writer) and inappropriate music of the trailer--imagine that in dialogue coming from freakish, poorly animated mouths, and you have yourself something of a guilty pleasure.

I don't think I'm up for the full-length experience -- just seeing the two clips linked at this page was enough to put me off my camembert.

This video shows the proper reaction to being confronted by that film!

What I find funny is the combination of Al Pacino's expression and the subtitle "The Look and Sound of Perfect."

I think the major reason I haven't upgraded to hi-def yet is that all of the HD-DVD and BluRay covers look like shit.

tavernier · #172 Post by **tavernier** » Fri Aug 24, 2007 3:23 pm

As good a reason as any....

colinr0380 · #173 Post by **colinr0380** » Fri Aug 24, 2007 3:46 pm

I know it is a bit rich for me to correct grammar but "The look and sound of perfect" seems a bit strange. Shouldn't it be "The look and sound of perfection"?

Even that's a bit clunky.

dx23 · #174 Post by **dx23** » Fri Aug 24, 2007 9:14 pm

And that is why Blu-Ray is winning.

miless · #175 Post by **miless** » Fri Aug 24, 2007 9:27 pm

man, I really want to see both of those, especially The Dog Problem.
I think I was hooked by the tagline: Eat.Sleep.Therapy.Repeat.
not to be out-done, however, by the "intriguing and compelling" camcorder, with the guy aiming his gun at nothing on the floor, and a dead man in the back-ground (it looks like a cross between Veronica Mars and SAW)
OH, and I LOVE Ali Larter!
