Art and Updates - News Central

Hello everyone,

It is apparent that I have been absent lately, and too much so for my own good. Whenever I pop in I do so irregularly, unexpectedly, and in a hasty fashion. Personally, I’m rather tired of committing myself to this action and wish to halt my ruptured existance on Pixar Planet. This is precisely why I have decided to open up this little journal or “update central” for myself, as it were, so as I may keep you all updated on the happenings on my side of the neighborhood. When I will show up to update this thread is undecided and will probably remain undecided, taking into account my hectic predicament. However, I will strive to post news on a “ambiguous” basis – by ambiguous, I mean once a week, once a month, or even once every few months, depending on the situation at hand. The schedule will always be fluctuating.

To my fellow administrators/moderators: As I have mentioned before on several occasions, I am sincerely grateful to be in the position that I am in now. I enjoy my job as assistant moderator of Pixar Planet, and do not take my task lightly. So, once again, thank you.

That aside, I wish to alert you all to the fact that my attendance here will, more than likely, become even more irregular than it is now. I will always be in a mode of moderation, but may only visit this site now and again.

I hope that this issue is of no concern to you and will not damage Pixar Planet as a whole should I be absent for long periods of time, leaving this website and forum board one moderator short. If there are any questions and/or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me and alert me to them.

As a side note, if the creation of this particular thread, as a whole, is deemed inappropriate and/or unnecessary, by all means… please remove it from the premises.


To my fellow members of Pixar Planet: Although I greatly enjoy engaging in discussions of many kinds with every one of you here on Pixar Planet, time is not in my favor, and things of the utmost importance must come first.

Right now, school takes up approximately 60% of my time, homework 20%, household chores (a majority of which are not mandatory) 10%, and extracurricular activities/free time the last 10%. School and a budding portfolio (the latter of which I am currently working on) are the top priorities for the time being, and I simply don’t have enough time to be doing anything but committing to those two earthly things. (I say “earthly” for a reason.)
Lately, I have also had to sort out a few personal things in my life. I’ve been facing some tough dilemmas, and have gone through more trials and tests than I would like; nevertheless, most of them are the bumpy rocks which one often faces in life… and ones that I am learning to overcome.

My absence, as stated, will be wishy-washy. The next time I jog through the door may be as young as a week, or as old as a few months (until as late as mid-August). So, don’t expect me to be around that often.

Other than that, feel free to refer to this thread for updates on the “goings on” in my area of life. Please note that the latter half of this post (after the date listed below) and the articles that follow it are mainly for myself… so as I can keep track of my schedule of events. Well, that, and I just love to write. :wink:

~ Au revoir! ~


April 18, 2008 -

  • Lots of homework assignments are due; I’ll need to shape up if I’m to successfully complete the semester. The next time around, I’m not going to let this happen – I’m going to do my best, strive to finish projects way before the due date, and will hesitate to procrastinate (or, more effectively, discard of it altogether).

  • I’ve very nearly finished an “in-betweening” project which I will include in my portfolio, the latter of which I will send to Disney Studios when completed. I am believing that I am going to secure this position/job – it would be a wonderful asset to my resume.

  • I sent in my application to InnerSpark/CSSSA* in February, received a note of confirmation some weeks later stating that my application had been collected, and am now awaiting a letter from the said industry which will, hopefully, announce that I have been accepted into the program. Should I be admitted into InnerSpark, I will have a greater chance of better establishing and grounding my artistic skills so as to improve in the field of animation. Let’s see what happens!

  • Have heard all of the latest news concerning WALL-E, Up, and pretty much every other Pixar feature up to Cars 2. I have extremely high hopes for WALL-E, especially after viewing a collage of new footage which looks absolutely stunning. (The closer WALL-E’s release date comes, the more I experience/collide into sights, sounds, and smells that remind me of things from my childhood. Something tells me that this particular film (WALL-E) is going to trigger something from the depths of my brain to emerge again after a decade or so. It’s quite intriguing.) Both Up and newt sound quite charming, as well, and I look forward to seeing both of them in the future.

  • My artwork is improving – slowly, but surely. My mom says that I need more practice in anatomy as a whole, and I definitely agree. I’m always drawing the same poses and characters over and over, which is sure to be a road-block in my career if I don’t remove it. Henceforth, I’m going to make a great effort to expand my knowledge further and explore previously unveiled corners.

  • Met Jim Cumming’s wife and her little daughter not a few weeks back. She mirrors her husband in pleasantness, and my mom, dad, and I quite enjoyed conversing with her. Mrs. Cummings mentioned that her husband plays the role of the Cajun firefly in Disney Studios’ next full-length animated film, The Princess and the Frog. Keep an ear out for him!

Extra note: For those who don’t know, Jim Cummings provides the voice for many well-known fictional/cartoon characters, including today’s Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Kaa, Taz, Peg-leg Pete, and hundreds of others. He is also a friend of the family and is probably one of the most amiable fellows on the planet. (heheh)

  • Heard of Ollie Johnston’s passing not a couple of days ago. Both he and his long-time colleage, Frank Thomas, were a great inspiration to my family and I for many years, and they will continue to be for generations afterward. Their soft, yet impactful, impression upon the earth has not gone unnoticed, and I thank them, tenderly and whole-heartedly, for implanting more than one smile upon those in the world who need it… which is everyone. And, although both he and Frank will be sorely missed, I rest in the comfort of knowing that they were both Christians… smiles

Current Position:


Note: Since both of my parents are in the animation business, I may post some art-related news that could be of some significance and/or interest from time to time.

One more subject of recognition/interest is the “Position” meter, which you may have noticed, above. This indicates my position in life via a screenshot from, of course, Ratatouille. Remy represents myself, so wherever he is in the film in that shot… that’s where I am in life. It may or may not make sense to you guys, since it’s more of a personal reference than anything, but I thought you might find it interesting. I will continue this “track meter” until I reach Pixar Animation Studios and possibly beyond…


Again, thank you all for your support and kindness. As I have said many times before, you all are like my second family, and I absolutely love conversing with you guys. So, thanks again. :wink:

This is a good idea, Mitch, thanks for taking the time to make it. :wink: And don’t worry too much about the whole schedule thing. I’ve been there many-a times before and I know that it’s hard to find time in the day anymore for stuff other than school and such. You seem to be better at time management than I am. 8D I think you’re just plain blessed to come from a family in animation. Hope you’ll be able to find time for the board along the way; it wouldn’t be the same without you! :slight_smile:

And about the position thing…I’m taking a guess and supposing the message implied in that screencap is “on the move” or something? :smiley:

CGI Clownfish - Thank you very much, dude. I appreciate it. :wink:

Mmm. An excellent guess! I am, indeed, cutting past corners, obstacles, and the like while moving on in the process. All of that black around Remy equals pessimism, whereas the warm glow surrounding our little rat represents optimism. Although the blackness seemingly suffocates the individual, the light is the dominant factor here… in a sense.

Analogies… analogies… (heheh)

– Mitch

Well, thanks for making this thread, Mitch. It will let us know the goings on if your life and the reasons behind your absence. As I always say, it will be slightly lonely (and less fun) without you being here, but you gotta do what you gotta do, I suppose, especially if it will prepare the foundations for your future career.

Good luck with your portfolio - I’m sure you are becoming a better artist with each passing day, and the time spent on your artwork is probably time well spent, rather than on the computer (and don’t I know it!). :mrgreen:

I like the little track meter you made. That is very creative. Yes, there is a lot of darkness around Remy, but the eye is drawn to the light - not to mention that despite being surrounded by that darkness, Remy is still focused and poised to take the next leap. :wink:

rachel - No problem! This thread is mainly for my own, personal use, but you guys are welcome to read it as well. If Pixar Planet had a “Journal” feature of some sort then I would have placed this topic of discussion there, but alas!, there isn’t, hence the formation of le thread in question…

Thank you very much for the compliments on both the portfolio issue and the “track meter”! I’m doing my best to stay on the road of success and win! :wink:

Hey, that’s a good point there! :wink:


April 22, 2008 -

  • Welp, it’s official. I’ve got hypersensitivy pneumonitis. Check it out:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypersensi … neumonitis

Typical. What with all of the allergies flying around my neighborhood, it seems almost inevitable that I was to inhale yet another piece of disease-related genius. I eagerly await the day when I never have to visit a doctor’s office again…

That aside, I’m going to pray about this issue. “Hypersensitivity pneumonitis” my butt! I need this like a hole in the head, and I’m not about to put up with another one of these dastardly infections…

  • I finally got over the shock of Ollie Johnston’s passing. Odd that it affected me to such a high degree, although I suppose that I shouldn’t have found the results of hearing the news surprising. He was always my favorite of the “Nine Old Men”, although I’m not exactly sure why. People always referred to Ollie and his companion as “Frank and Ollie”, and never just “Frank” or just “Ollie”. Nevertheless, Mr. Johnston was still my favorite of the bunch, probably because my drawing style mirrored his in some way: It’s light and soft, yet deliberate. He was also kind of a… grandfatherly figure, which, of course, makes perfect sense. In any case, I miss the fellow. Thank goodness he’s in a better place now.

  • My second semester of college is almost at its end, thank the Lord. Finals are due near the middle of next month (May), so I’m eager to finish them off. Since I only attend two art classes, plus a golf class, things run pretty smoothly overall, especially taking into consideration the fact that there are currently no golf “finals”… so far. I’m sure we’ll have a test or something, but I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it. (Golf is an absolute blast, by the way. My teacher is the best – he reminds me of my uncle – , and all of the students there are both amiable and downright hilarious. To me, it’s not a class, but a stress-reliever. Heheh.)

For my “Life Drawing” final, I have to compose two compositions on 18" x 24" paper (or larger, if preferred). One sheet must consist of a drawing of myself from the mid-torso up, and the second must be a representation of myself that connects to the first drawing in some way. The second composition can literally be anything – a collage of shapes dancing across the page; a different perspective of myself; an activity that I find pleasing or interesting; a fantasy-based image; a set of fictional characters…

Obviously, I know exactly what I’m going to be using as a basis for the second composition… :wink:

  • I’ve seen Horton Hears a Who! five times now, and I think that some of the JoJo fandom is starting to rub off on me. Besides browsing deviantArt for new (and decent) Horton Hears a Who! compositions, I’ve been reading fanfiction. Fanfiction, dudes! I never read fanfiction… Of course, I only read fanfiction dealing with the Mayor, Ned McDodd, but still.

Anyway… JoJo. Yeah, alright, the little fuzzball is cool, but I’m not all, “Oh my word, JoJo! I wanna hug him and squeeze him and… blah blah blah…!” on him like billions of other fangirls out there. (It’s ridiculous, I tell ya’.) Nevertheless, I had been meaning to draw him correctly for the past few… months, and I finally managed to do so last night. Stupid kid. I don’t know why I have such a hard time sketching him. Perhaps it’s his rounded profile, or maybe it’s just me? Hmm…


Current Position:


– Mitch

My gosh

Moderators, kill me. I swear, I don’t deserve to be a member of the authoritative/administrative staff here on Pixar Planet – I have been absent too long for my own good.

My sincere apologies to my coworkers and fellow posters here on the forum boards. If any welcome is to be bestowed upon my despicable self, it is to be one equal to that of a shun or a flick of the hand. I have been caught up in many an activity, yes, but that does not completely hinder me from returning to this sanctuary, as it were. I have been gone for an unnatural period of time, and I am fully aware of it. Again, my deepest apologies. :blush:


May 30, 2008 -

• My apparent hiatus is nothing short of, well, apparent. A blatant arrival is a noticeable one, and I am truly ashamed of myself. Nevertheless, I do have a very good reason for neglecting to return to this website, the reason being this:

After my second semester of college ended, which was on the 12th of this month, I looked back on my past scholastic experiences and breathed a sigh of disappointment. Procrastination had left a mark – not on my grades (I have earned straight A’s throughout, miraculously), but on my mental state. I had not put my best foot forward and, as a result, I left college scarred and utterly ashamed of myself for a second time.
It is because of my sordid temerarious demeanor that I have finally decided to listen to my mom and behave like a mature adult for a change. Not that I haven’t done my best to emit an air of maturity already; my main weakness is in procrastination, hence a slightly less mature nature. I am doing my best to dispose of this unwelcome way of thinking and acting, and shall strive to do my utmost at all times in the following semesters to come from now… on… end.
“What does all of this have to do with Pixar Planet,” you question? Well, let’s just say that I’ve been literally drawing non-stop since my summer holidays started. Let’s also say that I may just get to work on Walt Disney Studios’ upcoming animated feature, The Princess and the Frog, as an in-betweener/clean-up artist. I’m believing God for this: That I will obtain a position at Disney as an artist. Yes, my final destination is Pixar Animation Studios, but I have to start somewhere.

Secondly, there had been various disruptions and troublesome posters here on Pixar Planet that I was having difficulty dealing with. This caused me to shy away from the site in question for some time, until I eventually stopped coming altogether in order to finish up my finals and get busy on various, self-constructed projects. Yes, I admit it. I took a vacation away from Pixar Planet deliberately, but it was not for an empty reason.

• I have been keeping up-to-date on all of the latest WALL-E news, and I will state right now that the closer its release date dawns upon the horizon… the more I experience sights, sounds, and smells that remind me of things from my childhood – sensations long forgotten, yet suddenly dug up out of the earth again. There is something about this latest piece of Pixar-esque genius that, to me, will unveil one bit of my youth that I dearly long to remember…

Edit - Ah! I forgot to mention that I was not accepted into the CSSSA/InnerSpark program this year. Ah well. I’m not complaining. As a matter of fact, I’m rather relieved in a way. Besides, I’ve got other plans… :wink:


So, yes, in a nutshell, I’m terribly sorry for my absence, but it was (and still is) for a good cause. My artwork is steadily improving, which is pleasing; I’m learning something new day by day, and I swallow it greedily; and times are changing, sometimes for the better.

As always, many of you here (whom I’ve known for quite some time) are just… pure friends to me. I’ve never met a more amiable group, and I couldn’t ask for more. I don’t wish to ask for more, because you guys are the best. Thank you so much for your patience, kindness, and sincerity. <img src=“{SMILIES_PATH}/love2.gif” alt=“:loves:” title="In

Love" />

Notice: Please be aware that you may not hear of me for quite some time after tonight. Currently, my family is facing a bit of a financial situation, but I shall say no more than that except that we may lose internet, phone, and television service as early as tomorrow. Henceforth, if you notice my absence once again then, well, you’ll know what the deal is. (heh)


Current Position:


– Mitch

Well, you don’t have to apologise when you come back here, because you have real life to attend to and there are more important things than Pixar Planet… In any case, it’s always to good to have you back and this place doesn’t feel quite as right without you around. :wink:

What does the current position picture mean this time?

rachel - True, true. Although, I do consider Pixar Planet to be in the top ten on the “measure of importance” list. (heheh) :wink:

Thank you, though. hugs

Ah, yes. Well, I shall proceed to explain in a very brief fashion…


As I continue to move up the ladder of life, I am more aware of obstacles in my path – obstacles that now seem more blatant, protrusive, and, if organic, “poised to strike”, in a very metaphorical sense. By taking note of these barriers, I am able to better avoid them and recognize them when need be. In other words, I am finally starting to see what is wrong with my art, what I can do to improve it, how far I’ve come, and how much further I am required to proceed.
Also, it is noticeable (in this image anyway) that the patches of dark are beginning to fade into the background… allowing the light to flood a healthy portion of the surrounding area.


Again, it’s personal, and rather difficult to explain, but it’s sensical in the long run. Heheh.

– Mitch

Hello everyone,

Once again, I return after weeks of inactivity, frustrated with myself and utterly amazed that this thread still exists. The number of times I shall apologize for my blatant absence(s) will probably become uncountable, although I sincerely hope that that will not be the case.

Nothing much has happened on my side of the street, with the exception of life and its trials and tests in general. I’ll leave the standing of current situations up to your imagination, however. No need to over-explain things at the moment.


July 14, 2008 -

• I find it utterly incredible that, in a little over a year’s time, I shall be twenty years of age. It’s a bit daunting… when I think about it. Here I am, confessing that I can’t wait to bid farewell to the teenage era (which I am), when all along I’m just getting older in the long run. Yeesh…

• I’m slightly more pleased with my artwork, although I still despise my drawing style and constantly hope for a change in my monochromatic sketches. (heh)

• After watching WALL-E for the very first time… something clicked. I was literally drowning in tears… and I didn’t know why; I had returned to a forgotten section of my childhood days, yet I didn’t know what moment that was; and my heart was deeply satisfied, although why it was is unexplainable. Mr. Stanton has, quite simply, outdone himself this time…

• Well, I’m finally going to animate something… by myself. The very thought is rather unnerving, but I’m willing to face the challenge…! :wink:


Current Position:

To explain: I have stepped back a pace in my journey towards perseverance, and yet it is still a step ahead in a sense. I am more aware of faults in my artwork, and I desperately wish to improve them; the problem is taking that leap of uncertainty, attempting to create my own style without borrowing from others, and generally feeling satisfied in the process.

“Food will come, Remy,” Gusteau says. “Food always comes to those who love to cook…”

Yes, but where will it come from? How will I obtain it…?


– Mitch

Once again, thanks for the update, Mitch.

Eh, you get used to being in your twenties, I guess. Age is only a number remember, and in some ways I’ve matured since my teens, but in other ways I’m still the same. But it is good to have a “fresh start” since you won’t be a teen any more and can put your teenage years behind you.

As for your drawing style: I don’t think you can change it, but it is possible to improve (in fact, it would be impossible for you to not improve after all the practice you’ve been having.) I’m sure you will refine your style soon enough.

Can’t wait to see your animation. :slight_smile:

rachel - No problem, and thank you, rachel. :wink:

Mmm. That’s true. It’s always good to “start over”, in a sense, and wash off the stench of past days and events. Either way, I won’t consider myself to be a true adult until I reach the age of twenty-one. Heh.

You know, I asked my parents about whether or not my drawing style will change and, from the sound of it, it will develop and fluctuate over time; it’s just the gestation period that’s chronic in the long run. I’ll simply have to wait it out, I suppose.

Thanks again, dude. hugs


July 23, 2008 -

• I am extremely frustrated right now. A few days ago, I was uploading a drawing – one which I had spent approximately three hours tweaking and finalizing – on deviantArt, and it was only after I uploaded it that I realized just how bad it was. All of that work, all of that pain and suffering (well, actually, that’s only half true; I actually had fun coloring it in) was wasted. Just… wasted. My efforts proved fruitless, as has my talent, or so it seems to me. I’ve been listening to motivational song after motivational song; reading useful book after useful book; and watching repeated viewing after repeated viewing of Ratatouille, and yet I justcan’tseem to get fully motivated! I know what part of this is: I haven’t gone to church in months for various reasons (coughfinancialissuescough)… The other part is just… self-deprivation. I’m starting to tell myself that I will improve and I shall improve, but… it just seems like I JUST… CAN’T… DO IT!!!

Gosh, man. I ripped up about three pieces of paper a couple nights ago because I was just that frustrated. I was in one of those moods were I felt like bursting out into tears, yet I was laughing at the same time. (le sigh)

When will I improve? How… long… will it taaaake??? (snigger)
Sheesh, I’m so impatient. I’m one of those people who feels that I have to have a certain amount of talent at a certain age, and that if that isn’t the case then something is seriously wrong with me. I see all of these other artists that are several years younger than me and they’re freakin’ brilliant. I can’t even draw that correctly, let alone animate anything, which is what some of these “prodigies” have been doing. I feel like shoo… Well, no. Heh. No, I shouldn’t say that… (sigh)

Heh. You know, what’s funny is that, even after all of those repeat viewings of Ratatouille, I don’t feel any closer to the mark – or, er, the top of the building, as it were – than I did five years ago, and yet I’m climbing higher and higher up the roof regardless of the circumstances, which is weird… because when I improve I barely feel it. It’s like a numbing sensation or something…

Is there any point to this here?! I am absolutely, positively, without a shadow of a doubt, 100% certain that I will never go back now – I love art too much, and it’s the only thing I know how to do well to an extent, besides writing. (And, for the record, my writing skills are the only personal talent that I’ve ever been proud of…) That said, I’m not that good of an artist, and I know that. (Not think, people. Know.) I’m an amateur; a loser; a… Well, I suck, plain and simple. I want to improve, but I’m hesitant to practice my butt off (even though I’ve been doing that lately – ha!) because I’m… I’m… I’m “afraid” that I’ll mess something up, because I usually do mess something up… because I’m not that good at this skill yet!

Gosh, I’m on a ranting roll today… Heh. This is so pitiful. Well, anyway, I’m mad. (snigger)

Man, it felt good to get that off of my chest…

• The Comic-Con. Yes, it raised its head over the horizon today and shall continue to show its welcome face until Sunday. Hopefully, my dad, sister, and I will be able to attend the event this Friday and Saturday, especially when one takes into consideration the fact that a panel on Up will be featured at the event this weekend (Saturday). Pete Doctor will be there. Enough said…


Current Position:

To explain: Ha-ha! Yeah, that’s a good one, Gusteau. “With perseverance, thou shalt clamber up the ladder of success.” More like crawl up the steps of hell…

Sometimes it’s good to tell the world. As rachel said, there are more important things in life than PP, like real life. I’m not a christian, but if you think it helps, ibecause you can’t go to church, get some candles and make a little shrine, and pray there.

As for motivation, instead of listening to motivational songs, listen to soothing music, to get you relaxed and “in the zone” where you can work at your best. If you get frustrated, it’s only gonna get worse. It works for me, when I’m frustrated. Think aboutgradually improving, instead of being the best straight away!

I know how you feel, Mitch. You’re right, it is an absolute pain in the…uh…nether regions, when you start something with a certain goal in mind, but what you do isn’t quite enough. But the fact that you’re practising means that one day, you will be good enough, and it’ll be worth those hours upon hours of drawing and all of that frustration.

Sure, there are prodigies out there who can do stuff perfectly right away, but they don’t get the satisfaction of improving, and most of the time, they never really reach their true potential. For those of us that do have to work hard, you learn something that ‘naturals’ and ‘geniuses’ never will- that it isn’t about the finished product, but rather the journey you went through to get there.

Just keep going! I know it’s annoying when people say that, but you’ve got plenty of talent anyway and one day, you’ll get to where you want to be with a little bit of faith (in whatever that may be) and a lot of hard work. :smiley:

First of all, I’d like to apologize to everyone for my little “panic attack” back there. I really should moderate myself so as I don’t “blow up” every blue moon. Life seems to bear down upon me more often than I’d like, unfortunately.

WALL•E - I do listen to my favorite instrumental scores, soothing/encouraging music, and the like. It helps to an extent, but what I really need is constant advice. Call me crazy. I expect too much of future circumstances, really. (heh)

Ha-ha. Thank you very much for the advice, but I don’t need a shrine (or even candles) to pray. Any place is as good as any other; I could be on the toilet and that would still be the perfect place to have a conversation with my Lord and Savior. Heheh. :wink:

That’s what my mom tells me. I just wish that the journey towards “perfection” (which will never be achieved anyway) wasn’t so painful…

Again, thank you for your input. :slight_smile:

lizardgirl - You’re right. Perseverance is the strategy of the wise, I suppose, and one’s journey towards his goal is what really matters.

Heh. You know, I was reading this sentence of yours while listening to Peter Gabriel’s Down to Earth track from the official WALL•E soundtrack, and something just… clicked there for a second.

Thank you very much for the advice, lizardgirl. I really appreciate it. :wink: hugs


My apologies for pouring out my heart, soul, and personal pains to you guys. It’s not fair of me to execute those actions, and no one deserves to be bombarded with one’s complaints.

– Mitch

Sure, no problem Mitch. Hey, if you can’t tell your friends about this sort of thing, who can you tell? :smiley:

lizardgirl - Heheh. True, true. Thanks again. :wink:


September 3, 2008 -

• I’m making it a point to attend and monitor the Pixar Planet website and forum boards at least once a week, and that’s a promise.

• The San Diego Comic-Con was incredible. I saw tons of Star Wars-related merchandise, “geeked out” with the three billion other people in the vicinity, met quite a few artists and friends of my dad’s, and shook hands with Cole Sprouse!

You can read more about my adventures in San Diego (along with my dad and sister) via this link: mitch-el.deviantart.com/journal/ … /#comments

• I haven’t drawn much of anything in a while, so I’m just now starting to get back into it. I started off with doing a few life drawings, since I haven’t honed that skill for some time, and found that the resulting sketches were… not so bad. I guess that I’m improving faster than I thought, which is odd. I never draw people and yet I was able to do these: Gymnasts *

… the heck? I take that as a good thing, though. (snigger)

*I used a reference when sketching these.


Current Position:

To explain: Moving up…

• Sometimes, life throws things at you – things that were previously shadowed and come off as unexpected.

I just now realized where I really am in Ratatouille, and as the days go by, I find it more and more interesting that my life really does play out like that of Remy’s…


Current Position (in Life):

To explain: Down the waterfall; up the sewer.

nice to hear you’re going to check the forum at least once a week :slight_smile:

WALL•E - Yeah, I’m going to do my best. Spending a month away from the boards is way too long.

– Mitch

You know Mitch, the first time i saw Ratatouille I said to myself : That’s me ! I’m just like Remy !
I won’t explain why though…
