Like all Pixar films, the soul of RATATOUILLE (Ra.ta.tui) lies in the characters whether homo sapiens or genus rattus, bring their unique personalities, their quirks and their passions to the story. His fortunes wonderfully vital and family dilemmas, ranging from family conflicts to work through problems with loyalty Friends are the result of an artistic whole that begins with a memorable voice cast and continues with a next-generation entertainment, full of artistic talent. With all this human and animal characters get noted for their creativity within the world of CGI. It all starts with Remy, who despite being a rat, acts like an unlikely hero. Behind his whiskers, his tail and pointed ears are hidden ambitions and dreams that we can all identify. "What I like about the character of Remy is not content with anything," says Bird. "Always scanning the horizon in search of new experiences. And of course, is the world's thinnest rat, as it only conforms to the best of the best. He is always asking for more to life, and this idea fascinates me. " Owalt Patton, who lends her voice in the English version says: "Remy is one of those guys who are viscerally passionate and not be ashamed. His enthusiasm is contagious and has no intention of throwing in the towel. Decides to put any meat on the barbecue to make your dreams come true. In this tiny character will have a long and difficult road. "
He added:" Brad is a fan of animation. Even more than me. Has the whole universe of the film in his head and is so creative that is always willing to give that kind of advice that makes a sentence or dialogue into something great. "I'm a big fan of food and all the people of film is like me, so that was fun. In this movie, the food makes up the most wonderful landscape thanks to the skill with which it is made. Pixar is always experimenting with new things in their animated movies and I love it. "
When it came time to create the features of Remy, Bird wanted to give you all the expressiveness that may have a rodent. "The characters' facial joints are getting better and in the end we had 160 individual controls to reproduce the facial expressions of Remy, "says Bird.
" It's like having more keys on a keyboard, and offers many more possibilities. But a of the greatest challenges that we face is that a rat can not shoot well from every angle. The rats have a nose so long that the mouth is rarely seen, especially when the angle of the head Remy is very steep. So we worked a lot in this, for the public to always know what you're saying. "
Remy's dreams did not have many chances to come true until she met Linguini, the click of Gusteau's who discovers the talent of the rat that will forever change his destiny. Although penalties start as partners, Linguini desperately needs to keep this job and Remy hopes to work in a real restaurant. So little by little Remy and Linguini become inseparable and learn to rely on each other.
Oswalt says: "Linguini is the only human being who can count and lock Remy friendship really fun and original. Linguini is so charming that you are willing to lend a hand."
Some of the funniest scenes of the film, Remy controls Linguini literally let their attempts to cook. Bird explains: "A Linguini likes to go unnoticed, thanks to Remy fixing it all. It is a good example of this type of people who think they have anything special but when bad times come to realize that yes they are special and are able to overcome anything. " Brian Green, the supervisor's character confesses that he had another contemporary character in the room of his mind concerning Linguini - "I thought of Napoleon Dynamite, is moving, is funny and is someone you can not help encariñarte" says.
David DeVan, animation director, said: "It was fun because it Linguini encourage that sense of wonder so fantastic. He looks at everything as if seeing it for the first time. " Another challenge for the filmmakers was Linguini's hair, which is not only one of the keys to his character, but also becomes a kind of "joystick" with which Remy controls its movements fantastic when cooking . "Linguini's hair is untamed, like him," adds Sanjay Bakshi accessories supervisor: "He has a style that had never done before. "
Lou Romano, who lent his voice to the character of Linguini in the English version says: "There is no doubt that Linguini is very insecure and is like a fish out of water when in the kitchen, so I remembered my own experiences and what you feel when you feel a stranger. "
the contrary, who is totally in his element in the kitchen is Auguste Gusteau, the legendary chef and best hero Remy and who appears to inspire. Speaking of Gusteau, Brad Bird says: "It was the world of cuisine and exudes authority and passion. It is the mentor or the consciousness of Remy, a Jiminy Cricket or Obi Wan Kenobi, who pushes him to become braver and more resourceful. "
The character required a very special technological touches. "We had to create a special assembly for him because he is so fat spreads everywhere. It is very flexible and is a product of Remy's imagination, so it can fly. Undoubtedly is an absolutely unique character," says Brian Green.
The filmmakers also had fun designing the character of Skinner, that is 1.10 m. "The challenge posed by Skinner was her expressiveness, their enormous lips and the way you move your neck, "says Green." It's very dynamic. "
Ian lends his voice to the character and he laughs:" No I think that looks like me. Her eyes are very large, a very thin mustache and combed the four hairs that have not to look bald. It's a pretty ugly. It's quite shocking to voice a character with it. "
In the case of the character of Django, Remy's father does not understand why your child wants to belong to a world that does not accept, the director says: "Django is all the wisdom of the Old World, when rats and humans did not mix. "
For Collette, one of the cooks who struggles to shore up the restaurant Gusteau's, Bird said: "Colette is a chef woman in a world mostly male, so you put a shell to not hurt, but underneath lies a poignant character. "We wanted to have a hair to get noticed," says Green. "It's very French and has a very elegant style. I thought of it as a flower has not bloomed yet, and you can see how it will grow as the story unfolds. "
Peter O'Toole, who voices the character of Mr. Ego, loved the supreme powers of this character that embodies a vicious food critic. "His opinion may elevate or sink into poverty at any restaurant," says O'Toole. "If he said 'The Yorkshire pudding is great, still in business, but if he says' The clam chowder in New England is awful, you're out of play."
However, O'Toole felt much sympathy for Mr. Ego. "What saves him is his passion for food" says. "Forgive any criticism if it criticizes something you love."
In the English version, Peter Sohn, an artist and animator for Pixar provides the voice of Emile, the brother of Remy, a rat overweight binge-test all the dishes does his brother. "Emile is a very relaxed," says Sohn. "He can eat anything, so he and Remy, which has a very particular taste, set in motion a dynamic fun. But also, Emile Remy always there when you needs. His philosophy is summarized in the phrase: "In the end you can not fight what you are".
In RATATOUILLE, John Ratzenberger lends his voice to the waiter Mustafa, which he describes as someone "who is always on the verge of a stroke. It's nice with their customers, but once through the door of the kitchen, do not leave to protest because the dishes are not ready immediately, or because the soup is not hot enough, and so on. "
After recording the voices, animators faced a challenge not had expected: animate characters who speak with a French accent which meant that their mouths had to move in a very different and completely new. "When someone speaks with a French accent, the mouth moves differently, "said Mark Walsh, supervising animator." We had to find a way to reproduce this characteristic, not only for vocals, but that the gestures and mannerisms seem credible ".
And for inspiration, the animators turned to watch the French behaving like French." We get to see classic French movies and to recreate some of the characters we rely on great French actors, "says Brian Green. The faces of these icons were French by Brigitte Bardot, Serge Gainsbourg and even Charles de Gaulle were the inspiration for some characters.
Brad Bird summarizes the interaction that occurred between the voices of the actors and animators: "The situations in history and stunning vocal performances of the actors were like an aphrodisiac for animators!"
