The All Ears Net newsletter reports:

Quote

As of March 9, guests who dine at Les Chefs de France restaurant are being treated to a unique kind of entertainment, allowing them to meet the culinary rat Remy, from the movie Ratatouille. Remy is an Audio-Animatronics puppet who, along with the restaurant maitre d' (a comedic actor), engages guests by performing a series of humorous, theatrical vignettes, using a moving food cart with a silver-domed cheese platter as their stage. Remy can make a variety of noises and comes across as a living, breathing little character with a point of view all his own. The Remy Cart was conceived by WDI Research & Development with support from WDI Creative Entertainment.


Remy can be seen 12:30 - 6 p.m. at Les Chefs de France through September 5, 2009. (Remy can also be seen at Disneyland Paris where he's been entertaining guests since last summer.)

And the Passporter newsletter states:

Remy Appearing Daily at Epcot. Remy the rat from Ratatouille is making daily appearances at Les Chefs de France restaurant in the France pavilion in the World Showcase in Epcot. Remy, an Audio-Animatronics puppet, appears on top of a moving food cart pushed by his human sidekick, the Maitre D'. The duo engage in a kind of mobile comedy act from 12:30 pm-6:00 pm.

DH and I had lunch at Chefs de France last week, and I took some pictures.






I was told Remy makes the rounds about every half hour, but I think it's more like 45 minutes. We saw him inside while we were waiting for our table outside, and he didn't come around until we had finished our appetizers. Chefs de France only holds about 266 people.

Any news if they are going to extend his appearances past Sept 5?

There's been no word as of our last visit (5/12), but I'm hoping that they'll extend his visits.

I saw him in DL Paris. He really is adorable and looks so real too.
My grandma was convinced that he was a genuine rat.

Do you know if he's still in Disneyland Paris??

I got a kick out of watching the operator control him. You can see the little buttons on the lid of the tray.

Word is that he is headed for Tokyo! I saw him in May and he was great! My brother is really hoping they extend his visit to when we will be down for MNSSHP.

We are dining there in August so I hope he is making his rounds then too!

Thanks for the photo. In case anyone wants to know, who may not, the actor with Remy is Blade (nickname). Blade was one of the actors at the Adventureres Club, which is sadly closed. Beside seeing him with Remy, I believe that you can also see him with the Showcase Players.

Before the Adventurers he was Perry Blade, as character of the Citizens of Hollywood and before that he was a Showcase Player.

The second (female) mater d' was also from the Adventurer's Club.

You must mean Yvette from the Adventurers Club.


She was also in Streetmosphere at Hollywood Studios as Fanny O'Rear

I just don't understand why they don't keep him around. You know they have more than one of those trays or could at least make more.
