Thanks for the new video, he does look cute but he i hope he does more than just sway side to side at different speeds.

He does! He has two musical routines that we saw -- the classic French music and a very up-tempo modern song (funnier than it sounds). He can also just sit there and squeak, looking directly at you, and bow after his performance, etc.

The actual likeness to Rémy is incredible -- his eyes though they don't move are *exactly* like the real thing. It was also great to see that we never saw Rémy outside the restaurant, trying to coax people in. He's better kept as an attraction inside. The Ratatouille signs around the building now finally seem justified.

There are even more pictures and another new (but similar :wink:) video here: http://www.dlrpmagic.com/today/2008/07/ ... tatouille/

Yes! There seem to be other buttons too, I think Kristof said he saw the assistant pressing them on the trolley...?

Another thing which impressed me was that they can turn the platter thing around. It's fixed down, but they can turn it in the direction of the guest, which is quite smart (you'd expect all the workings of the animatronic to have been fixed down permanent below there).

For those who are wondering... This beauty is build and designed by Walt Disney Imagineering in Glendale where it was tested on the lot before being shipped to DLRP.

thanks for the videos and pictures, they are brilliant. I think Remy is really cute, love the character anyway.

We saw Remy inside and outside the restaurant this week, it was completely amazing!!!! I could see it kind of interact with many guests and we were in awe!
We had never been at Rendez vous des Stars and we did this time and just loved the food! and seeing Remy going from table to table was very cool we even thanked him for the wonderful food and he bowed (though we don't know if that was a coincidence)

:shock: Wooow! That looks so cute! :lol: I think I'd squeal with happiness at seeing something like that, especially if I was surprised by it. If I hadn't have seen the pictures, I wouldn't have believed that something like this would work so well!

Oh to clear things up: the Rémy animatronic in Epcot is a duplicate.  "Our" Rémy is still performing at [strike:p78rktg2]Rendez-Vous[/strike:p78rktg2] Restaurant des Stars.

Great to hear!
For a while I was certain that our lil' Remy had been shipped off to the US.

I was thinking the same thing, Remy is so cute, I was wondering if there was a big cloak on the trolley for a puppeteer underneath.

Oh, i love Remy!!! He's just so CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!

[Reiana]

In the first week of june, we saw him performing in front of the restaurant. He was so cute.
Sadly it was the only time, we saw him and little one was so disappointed because Remy was not there the next time we passed the restaurant.
So every time we passed the restaurant she asked: Where is the mousy?
