Here's
an email I received a few days ago. I thought I'd share it here.

Friends
and Colleagues:
Brad Bird’s highly anticipated second effort for Pixar, Ratatouille,
opened wide on June 29, 2007 and was immediately embraced by kids,
parents and moviegoers alike as one of the best films of the year.
The film not only offered the finest in computer-rendered animation
but also featured a rather innovative screenplay. That original screenplay
and the film as an animated feature were both recently nominated for
Academy Awards®.
The Art of Making Pixar's Ratatouille is an online article that covers
the film.
It also features three full length interviews: one
with the film's director and writer Brad Bird, production designer
Harley Jessup and director of photography/lighting Sharon Calahan.
The article and interviews include exclusive art from
Disney/Pixar that include the storyboards from the famous fixing
the soup scene
and concept art from Michel Gagné.
