	Bird catches 'Ratatouille' for Pixar pic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Pixar Animation Studios' Brad Bird will direct "Ratatouille," the computer-animated mouse tale that was developed in-house by the studio's Oscar-winning short-film director Jan Pinkava ("Geri's Game").
		A sneak peek of the film, with fully rendered CG characters, was introduced by John Lasseter and shown to attendees at Friday's meeting.
		It was expected that Pinkava would direct the project, and Bird was said to be developing a sequel to his 2004 Oscar-winning film "The Incredibles." Execs also confirmed at the meeting that Glen Keane's directorial debut, "Rapunzel," remains in the early stages of production utilizing a combination of 2-D and 3-D processes.

	Pixar - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Pixar was founded as the Graphics Group, one third of the Computer Division of Lucasfilm that was launched in 1979 with the hiring of Ed Catmull from the New York Institute of Technology (NYIT).
		Initially, Pixar was a high-end hardware company whose core product was the Pixar Image Computer, a system which was primarily sold to government agencies and the medical community.
		One of the leading buyers of Pixar Image Computers was Disney studios, which was using the device as part of their secretive CAPS project, using the machine and custom software to migrate the laborious Ink and Paint part of the 2D animation process to a more automated and thus efficient method.

		Initially, Pixar was a high-end hardware company whose core product was the Pixar Image Computer, which primarily sold to government agencies and the medical community.
		After substantial cuts to most of the computer department, Pixar began its current life by making a $26,000,000 deal with Walt Disney Studios in 1991 to produce animated feature films, the first of which was Toy Story.
		Pixar is currently looking for a new company to distribute its films, and many other firms are eager suitors.

	eclecticism: Is Pixar a 'boys only' club? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		As Prairie pointed out to me, where there are plenty of Disney films that girls can spend hours playing and pretending to be the Disney Princesses in (most of them, at least), there isn’t a single Pixar film that she would have wanted to play as a child.
		Since Pixar is run by a bunch of nerdy, middle aged, white guys natually their films are all going to be about nerdy, middle, aged, white guys (or fish, or toys, monsters).
		Pixar’s films, which almost exclusively rely upon a group of flawed characters of all types working together to collectively solve problems is hardly misogynistic by any stretch of the imagination.

	Movie News- Disney Cooks Up a Fresh 'Ratatouille' - AOL News (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Bird’s “Incredibles,” or talking toys, as in the “Toy Story” films, it is about a rat who wants to cook in a French restaurant that once had five stars, but has slipped a couple of notches.
		Old hands in the film business argue nonetheless that the industry cheats itself of something precious when it leaves the creation of its blockbuster bets to a graphic novelist like Frank Miller, whose work was behind this year’s “300,” or a distant predecessor, like the makers of the original “King Kong.”
		The director pointed, for instance, to a moment in “Ratatouille” when he felt compelled to forgo a climactic action sequence that was demanded by conventional movie logic, but that did not fit the story he and his peers had invented.

		I don't think Ratatouille will be one of the highest grossing Pixar films ever, but I do believe it will have a very strong opening weekend (with no real competition except Evan Almighty the week before) and last fairly well through all of July.
		Being a childrens film, it is guaranteed a large audience and a longer staying power.
		I agree that people will see Ratatouille solely based on the fact that it's a Pixar movie, but I also believe that it will be an amazing movie, and the only people who should have anything to worry about are detractors and competitors.
