According to The Hollywood Reporter Pixar Animation Studios have brought back The Incredibles director, Brad Bird, to helm their next CG feature Ratatouille.
The film centers on a skinny rodent named Ratatouille who fancies himself a gourmand and lives in a Parisian restaurant. The story was developed in-house by the studio’s Oscar-winning short-film director Jan Pinkava (“Geri’s Game”).
The Hollywood Reporter article goes on to say that it was expected that Pinkava would direct the project, and Bird was said to be developing a sequel to his 2004 Oscar-winning film The Incredibles, and while it is obvious now that Pinkava is not directing Ratatouille the status of an Incredibles sequel was not mentioned.
Ratatouille is scheduled for release June 29, 2007.
