Brad Bird Directing Ratatouille
Brad Bird will direct Disney/Pixar’s Ratatouille.
The story, about a skinny mouse who lives in a Parisian restaurant, was originally developed at Disney by Oscar-winning short-film director Jan Pinkava. It was originally expected that Pinkava would direct the project with Bird developing a sequel to The Incredibles. However, the deal was confirmed Friday at the Disney shareholders meeting in Anaheim. Disney is in the process of buying Pixar. A sneak peek of the film, with fully rendered computer-animated characters, was shown to attendees at Friday’s meeting.
Disney also confirmed at the meeting that Glen Keane will make his directorial debut with Rapunzel which is currently in the early stages of production using a combination of 2-D and 3-D.
Ratatouille is scheduled for release June 29, 2007.
