EPCOT Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

[UNCgolf]

A “sneak peek”?

It’s a clone of the ride at DLP, there are full ride videos available. But sure Disney, you promote it as a sneak peek.

Maybe they'll give us a sneak peek at Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railroad coming to Disneyland!!

My guess this includes some good looks at the land itself, which is unique to WDW

Did I hear the Livestream right? Are they actually keeping the ride bilingual?

The Imagineering Story said that it took longer for them to animate the videos for this ride than the actual movie, so I'd imagine they'd keep it bilingual to avoid having to redo it all or to have to awkwardly dub over the French parts

As it should be. Americans could use some more culture.

I am not sure if it was a wise decision to keep it bilingual. Kind of seems lazy. Sure, it’s great to be more “authentic” but the US is not the same audience as Paris. Personally, I don’t think it’s that big of a deal...but it really seems lazy.

I don’t think so. It’s worth noting that it’s mostly due to the huge pixel count of the video that takes up massive render time on servers vs rendering the FAR less pixel dense (2K?) original film. They said a similar thing about the Flight of Passage film, for the same reason.

To re-animate the character’s lip sync is relatively simple and quick. They’ll have to re-render all of the scenes, but that’s all up to the servers. Very doable, and my guess is the ride will debut tout en Anglais.

Disney is capable of dubbing animated films! they have known how to do it for a long time!
I think that Imagineering is creating the story in English and the French translates it afterwards for the ride in Paris.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there is some French words at times, but yeah the ride will be English IMHO

Just watched the video:

They are indeed bringing the original show form to Epcot from Paris. Script was always written to explain everything in both languages. Tom F says this is the first bilingual show in Epcot. And how wonderful it will be to hear the French language as part of your experience

It was clear from the video that, at the very least, Gusteau's greeting will definitely be bilingual.

He uses that moment to segue into the fact that the show, i.e. the entire thing, is in both languages. Just as it is in Paris.

What?? It should be in ENGLISH! This is the United States of AMERICA! Coming from the son of a Cuban immigrant. What a ridiculous decision. It is made for an American audience who speak in English. So silly. Culture this culture that blah blah blah just make the damn thing in English! Haha

I'll tell Mariachi Cobre they're fired.

The ride is self explanatory anyways. The Beauty and the Beast ride at Tokyo was 100% in Japanese and I still understood it and won't need a translator when I ride it personally. I do, however, agree with the US being a totally difference audience. I would imagine someone would go to guest services and complain that the ride is not all English and her kids can't understand it,

I can see the Karens going to guest services asking for a refund because one ride is not 100% in english for their precious kid

exactly. Good story telling is just that... good. You don’t need English to understand what is being conveyed if it’s done well. I have literally been on every Disney attraction in the world, sans the new beast attraction at TDL and English or not, the rides are always great. Heck I love the Cantonese version of Jungle Cruise at HKDL and adore ToT at TDS. Language is just one form of communication! Figment invites you to open your minds people.

I’m honestly surprised. I thought for sure it’d be fully translated.
