News Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

[ᗩLᘿᑕ ✨ ᗩζᗩᗰ]

Yeah, based on watching a ride video (which doesn't give you the complete picture, I know) I don't see why it even matters that the ride is bilingual. The dialogue isn't really important; it's not like Spaceship Earth where the narration is a major part of the experience.

I think it's more to do with the fact (opinion) that hearing the bilingual audio might remove one from their own immersion and experience, however culturally accurate. American audiences didn't watch the Pixar movie in French. It's the same reason why ride safety dubs stand out. I'm sure it's easy enough to gloss over but it's still somewhat surprising to me, but again, no not really because it was likely just another cost-saving decision. There's no larger intent behind the reasoning to include it.

My daughter loves Fancy Nancy, who is obsessed with Paris and French culture and uses many French words in the show and books. Maybe Nancy could be an ambassador for the French language

I like it! A baby steps way of establishing some edutainment and explaining away bilingual audio within attractions. Seems a good use of IP. There's definitely a difference between that and just having bilingual audio in an attraction just because. The idea that we actually learn something makes the inclusion of foreign dialog in an attraction more forgiving and more meaningful. That's a good solution! They could also incorporate cultural edutainment within the queue or play app. The same could be said for Miguel in a would-be/couldabeen Coco attraction.

A wild structure has appeared!

Just in case you didn’t know, we already knew a merchandise booth/cart was coming from permits and plans that were public a while ago..

A new thingy appeared in the stroller parking(?) area:

The gate that leads backstage has been painted to give it a old rustic worn out look:

All pictures are credited and come from site that shall not be named..

Will it at least be in 3D?

It will. It’s WDSP with the restaurant ripped off.

Just making sure. Thanks!

As others have said, the language isn’t a big deal on this. You’re a rat in a French restaurant. Having ridden it multiple times in Paris the story is easy enough to follow whether you know English, French or any other language. There isn’t a huge amount of dialogue.

Remember it was designed for Paris, I’d say easily the park with the biggest variation in languages by guests.

Did the use of words and phrases in Spanish also diminish audiences' enjoyment of Pixar's Coco? Having been on the ride in Paris, it seems fairly analogous to me. You may not understand every line of Proud Corazón, for example, but I think everyone gets the gist and the use of Spanish adds to rather than subtracts from the song by grounding it in the culture being represented.

Do you know if they ever considered the restaurant? And could they add the restaurant in the future?

Nothing I’ve seen showed the restaurant. It certainly wouldn’t fit in Orlando in the same configuration.

But the pavilion already has a range of eateries. In Paris it was the first true TSR for the park.

The expansion as a whole is looking very nice with much more detail than I expected.

For those who don't want until next year for the ride, there's always Ratatouille the Musical:

Broadway Is Closed, But Ratatouille the Musical Is Cooking on TikTok

“Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be embracing people referring to me as the ‘rat queen.’”

www.vulture.com

Yes, my daughter told me about it; I don't do TikTok.

I think the ride will be English, given how rides like beauty and the beast are translated into their native language, same with pirates of the Caribbean in shanghai, I noticed every ride in their native parks use their language, so I’m sure this one will be english when it’s all said and done I think.

If it’s French the better anyways, I like to polish my French a little bit hehe

It's already confirmed directly from Disney that the ride is bilingual. All aspects of the ride are in both English and French.

If anything this is actually the most Canadian ride Disney has built... We are very used to a French and English mix, where they say all the same things in both languages and just alternate.

Not true about the international parks. Ratatouille is bilingual in DLP, just like this will be.

 

[FigmentFan82]

Would t mind Monsiour Paul getting a Remy’s makeover. Sorry isn’t that is sacrilege to some but my one experience there was underwhelming and the decor was wilding dated and stuffy. Conversely I love Chefs de France

 

[EricsBiscuit]

You don’t need to understand French to understand the ride. Like the majority of DLP attractions it’s bilingual.

I don’t speak French and both understood and enjoyed Rat. I don’t speak much Mandarin, but I loved SDL. I’m not saying it’s bad. I’m saying it would be better if Ray was in English in the USA.

Each scene has English dialogue though.

Get this. I’m defending something new at Epcot !!
