It's an awesome movie. Plus, Pixar roxorz. :D
Yeah, but have you seen there next project for 2007? It's called, "Ratatouille". It's basically about a rat that manages to get caught in a Paris 5-star restaurant. The rat in question is named Remy, and he wants to become a chef, which he eventually does. Honestly, it seems as though CGI-animators are starting to run out of ideas. For example, after Pixar's "
Finding Nemo", Dreamworks produced "
Shark Tales". After Dreamwork's "
Over the Hedge", Sony made "
Open Season". Now, after Dreamwork's "
Flushed Away", Pixar is making "
Ratatouille". Sure, you're gonna say, "But they both have completely different plots! Ratatouille isn't a rip-off just because it stars mice!" Indeed, but what was the first thing you thought of when you heard of
CGI movie about a mouse? Flushed Away? Plus, they both take place in Europe (FA in London, Ratatouille in Paris) and- of course- both star mice. It's too early to judge, and Pixar has pulled rabbits out of their hat before, but I just think the idea isn't that fresh. By freah, I mean an all new basis for a movie, like the Incredibles was about superheros and Monsters Inc. was about monsters.
Of course, most of the good ideas for CGI animated movies have already been used, so it's somewhat hard to think up of "fresh" ideas for animated movies nowadays.
