According to an article over at JimHillMedia.Com, Remy (Ratatouille) is being added to Chefs de France for a few months. This version of Remy is the same character initative projects as the Remy over at Rendez-Vous des Stars (DLP)...

Will this help bring more people to one of the most expensive restaurants on property?

Just what I always wanted is a Rat standing over me while I eat. Rolling Eyes

Mouse maybe, but not a rat. Wink

they said this was going to part of the living animitronic stuff... like lucky and the muppet labs. Anyone know where I can find more info about this and Remy?

thanks for the post... interesting video. There obviously is a button on the handle of the dome. The character itself appears to do a simple dancing sway, and appeared to bob its head, but there did not seem to be too much in the way of its capabilities.

Wonder if that is because it is still in design/development/testing or if the Rat shape is simply that limiting.

And another step in the transformation of EPCOT Center to Magic Kingdom part 2.

Sorry, I'm grumpy today.

I don't object as much with Remy as I do for Nemo.... It seems like it is adding to a theme rather than re-theming. Now when they redo the restaurant with a Ratatouille theme, then I'll be more upset.
