Production notes
A spinoff from the Pixar feature film "Ratatouille."
Pixar's first traditionally animated film, its first 2-D animated film, and its longest short to date.
Incorporates combat vehicle animation footage from the Disney feature film "Victory Through Air Power" (1943) and footage of the flea circus flea from the Pixar feature film "A Bug's Life" (1998).
Despite the short releasing a year before the PIXAR film WALL•E, the robot makes a quick cameo driving a vehicle in Mars. P.T. Flea from "A Bug's Life" also makes a cameo appearance.
