Script:
That’s Ratatouille, he is a rat, he cooks, he wants to be a chef. But what really matters is what Disney wants from Ratatouille? The answer is your money. So they are doing a different kind of marketing1. Forget about kids' toys, they are going after you. Julia Boorstin is "On The Money" live in Los Angeles. Julia?

Melissa, Disney is opening its big Pixar film of the year Ratatouille on 3,500 screens tomorrow. The story of a rat cooking in a fancy French restaurant actually makes more sense than you'd think.

Ratatouille’s original story sticks out in a summer crowded with sequels.

I can’t cook, can I? But you, you can.

And pixar's animation2 continues to amaze.

It’s incredibly high quality, great storytelling. It's made for kids and for families. The hope is it's part of family entertainment which is the whole market of Disney's brands.

Disney’s and Pixar's brands from Pirates to Toy Story are known for huge consumer product potential. But Ratatouille’s Remy, the rat chef, may be at a disadvantage in that department. There is tough competition this summer from a crowd of other kid-friendly movies, Transformers, Harry3 Potter, Shrek and others. And rat dolls may not have the appeal of Pixar’s Toy Story fair.

Some of our consumer product people are nervous that it’s easy to sell cars to American kids, maybe harder to, for, you know to imagine children at night cutting up with our French rat. So Disney is taking a different approach, targeting adults. With kitchen and cooking ware4 both at mass retailers5 and luxury kitchenware chain Sur La Table. Taking its consumer products in a new direction, for the first time, it is selling fine wine and cheese at Costco. Ratatouille shard6 named Burgundy, a pet project of Pixar chief, John Lasseter, who owns a nap of vineyard.

It’s a very logical extension, and I think maybe in our growth of the fact it is very crowded at the Toy Isle7. And maybe we had to come up some creative ways to lavish8 franchise9.

And what of the movie’s performance? Some analysts10 say they expect it to underperform Cars by 10 to 15 percent. And if it does?

Even if Ratatouille underperforms Cars, and let’s say it does, and I think the estimates we have are in the 200-million-dollar range at the box office domestically, and maybe another 200 overseas. You are still gonna make, you know, maybe 250 million dollars, or 300 million dollars in ultimate profit.

Because the expectations are so low for products, like this Ratatouille wine and cheese, there is some room for some upside surprise in how well they perform. Melissa, I think these are actually pretty cute, don’t you think?

Absolutely, I know you are gonna tell us how that wine is as well. Thanks a lot, Julia.

The cheese is good.
