Just how dumb does Disney/Pixar think we are?! First they tried to pass off that shiddyazz The Wild a full year after Dreamworks released Madagascar, and now they don't think anyone's heard of Dreamworks/Aardman's Flushed Away yet?!! :x

I don't know. Ratatouille seems like a good movie.

Hmmmmmm.....

One film is about a rat/mouse that lives a good life until he got "Flushed away." The other is a rat that lives a bad life, but goes out of his way to get good food.

....Personally I think Ratatouille is gonna be better. At the very least, it certainly has better animation. I hate the fact that Flushed Away is trying to emulate the claymation animation style...which was never that cool anyway.

That's because it's by Aardman. I think their experimenting with CG on this one because water plays so heavily into the setting. Anything liquid looks naturally crappy in claymation.

It doesn't look quite as blatant a copy as The Wild was, but it's still coming out way too late after the other one for it to be a coincidence. I'm going to wait until I can rent this one.

I must say it looks like a great movie and probably fun to watch. I hope I'll get the chance to see it.

Well...I finally get a chance to see this film. I was thinking it was going to be boring. But it turned out to be a great film. I enjoyed it. You guys gotta see this film. You'll love it.

:D



Don't compare this film to "Flushed Away" because its not even close.

Surprisingly, I'm actually interested in seeing this movie. Didn't think I would be, but the excellent animation in the trailers kept me interested for a long enough time to find out that Patton Oswalt is in it. Patton Oswalt kicks a**.

EDIT: Hey, look, even SpillCom likes it.

It was announced before Flushed Away came out. It just probably took longer because something of that quality takes time.

I agree with Dreamer. Flushed Away's animation was pretty bland and ugly for a CG film. If you want a clay animation look, don't use CG, use clay, as was done with the recent Wallace and Gromit film. Ratatouille was going for a realistic/cartoonish look, and that did fit for CG.

It was really cute. Some parts were just really funny too! Mind you, the theater will be full of screaming children. :P And the little short in front of it was hilarious.

Ratatouille was terrific. Its story was great, but more than anything else, it speaks volumes about the truly fantastic vs the terribly mundane. How food is something to be savored. Since we live in a world of fast food, so many of us don't really know what we're missing by being so lazy, that we don't even TRY to cook. Now I know there are others, but everywhere I look i see people chowing down on crap, and its making us unhealthy.

Man, I never wanted to be a chef more than after watching this film ( which made me hungry ) I'll just havet o let my brother, who's a chef in San Diego, do that job for me.

But go see it! It's really different, in the fact there's no big action sequnces or transfroming robots...but there's a "below-the-surface" message in this film that will appeal to anyone.
