A little bit from memory... he talks about coming in late on the film, how they had de-ratted the rats and he changed that, talked about how the film was so rich that they had been having a hard time finding the core of the film.
About half way thru (the first one is the only one I've watched so far) he starts talking about the Blu-ray and DVD the tech. and such.
Then he starts talking (very Lucas-esqe) about how he's never happy/done with the film and how he will continue to work on it. Talks about how sometimes there isn't time to do some shots the way he wants them and meet the sched. So after the theatrical he gets the shots the way he wants them for the home vid. I think he said there were about 10 shots in Rat that will be different than the theatrical e.g. Remy will get a chef's hat at the end of the film.

Thanks for the summary. I actually just got done watching the first part, as well.Okie Tigger wrote:A little bit from memory... he talks about coming in late on the film, how they had de-ratted the rats and he changed that, talked about how the film was so rich that they had been having a hard time finding the core of the film.

I don't mind him making those subtle changes, really. The thing is, I hope that, 20 years down the road, he doesn't actually become Lucas, and change the films completely!

Every time I think about Fullscreen vs Widescreen it reminds me of the quote by John Carpenter (director):PixarFan2006 wrote:I think that its a great decision making the movie a widescreen-only dvd. I dont know why people would buy fullscreen dvds.
"For everyone that cares about the movie, give them widescreen. Let all the idiots have fullscreen."
(Paraphrased of course, but that was the definite intent of the statement.)

Thank you for the information! I believe I'll probably buy my copy at Best Buy. It may have already been posted, but, they are giving away free Movie Cash to see Enchanted in theaters. I believe it is a $7.00 value.jrboy wrote:

I know how we 'love' discussing slip covers on this site... hee hee.
Does this Walmart exclusive also get the slipcover?... Is the second DVD in a separate DVD case ?

Well, with the movie cash you can see it for free so if you don't like it you're not out anything. You might love it, you never know. I think I might get the Target version, since they are saying that their bonus DVD actually has movie related extras. Just as long as they aren't charging too much extra for it (since they all charge extra for the free bonus stuff now, hrumph) and as long as it has a significant run time. I bought a Saw 3 DVD from there, paid extra and their bonus disc was only 6 or 7 minutes long. If they do that again, I think I'll take it back and complain.Simba3 wrote:I wish Best Buy would offer a $5 dollar off promotion when you buy Ratatouille and the Pixar Shorts together. The movie cash doesn't really interest me that much because I don't think I will be seeing "Enchanted" in the theater.

Watching the movie again I realized something about Anton Ego. In the movie he is called "The Grim Eater" and he is portrayed as a dark character whose reviews can make or break a restaurant. His office is even shaped like a coffin! When he harshly reviews Gusteau's, Gusteau dies. So Ego can LITERALLY kill someone with his reviews!
