Merrick here...

The Chinese trailer for Disney/Pixar’s RATATOUILLE has hit YouTube.

It’s significantly different from the American trailer – featuring an extended sequence of “set up” from the film.

SEE IT!!!

I love the rendering of the foggy Parisian night. I'm eager to see how this film shakes out. CARS was cold and creepy to me (never could shake the sense that it was set in a formerly human world in which machines had overthrown mankind and now dominated the Earth); it never really came to life for me. This might make up for it.

Thanks to Jeroen for sending in the link!

To everyone who keeps calling this the Chinese trailer... it's not.

It may have Chinese characters on it -- I'm not sure either way -- but it was cut for the Japanese market specifically. I saw this trailer when I was at Pixar two weeks ago, and I also saw the new domestic trailer which we should get in front of MEET THE ROBINSONS. They emphasize very different aspects of the film, and I think if you like this one, you'll flip for the domestic version.

Just wanted to clarify. "Moriarty" out.
