Once upon a time, I wanted to be an artist in the animation industry. Well, I shot that down after about 20 years, but I still find myself drawing on blank surfaces because I can't help it. These days, I'm studying ASL to become an interpreter while working on a children's book in the meantime. Goodness knows the book will probably net me more money than the other careers have, if I would just finish the dang thing....

Similarities - Remy and "Remi"



According to Wikipedia.net, the upcoming Pixar film, Ratatouille, bears some rather small resemblances to a dated French tale known as Sans Famille. The article can be found via this link:

Sans Famille

Some similarites between these two stories include:

- The title character in Ratatouille -- Remy -- shares his name with the main character of Sans Famille, who's name is also Remi. The only difference is that both names are spelled differently.

- The theme of Ratatouille is similar to that of the plot-line of the two-part novel, Sans Famille, which depicts a young boy who strives to find his place in the world of 19th century France.

Is it possible that Pixar derived their story of Ratatouille from this former tale of French poverty?

JV - Cool -- I'm glad you noticed it!

gottalovepixar - Welcome to my blog, gottalovepixar!

And yes, "obsessed" is an understatement. I used to have rats, so when I heard the news that Pixar was creating a movie concerning these adorable critters...I went ballistic. (snigggers)
