“Pixar Animation Studios’ Brad Bird will direct “Ratatouille,” the computer-animated mouse tale that was developed in-house by the studio’s Oscar-winning short-film director Jan Pinkava (“Geri’s Game”). The deal was confirmed Friday at the Disney shareholders meeting in Anaheim. The story centers on a skinny rodent who fancies himself a gourmand and lives in a Parisian restaurant. A sneak peek of the film, with fully rendered CG characters, was introduced by John Lasseter and shown to attendees at Friday’s meeting.”
