Brad Bird, Genius

Just had the pleasure of watching Ratatouille, and enjoyed it so much I had to get onto the internet to find out more. Discovered that this was a project in trouble, and Bird had been brought in to rescue it. No movie script on the web yet, so if I want to capture Anton Ego's written critique of Gusteau's (and the meal served by Remy), I'll just have to do it the old fashioned way.

I found a nice review by Roger Ebert.

And a piece by Josh Levin in SLATE, titled "Brad Bird, Animation Auteur. How the director of Ratatouille became the Stanley Kubrick of animation."

Visit the page and view the slideshow.
