Downloading so I can read this tonight, offline, make my comments. -- Zanimum (talk) 00:45, 27 September 2013 (UTC)

First change: since your nomination, the cite news template has changed. If you insert an access date, you need a URL, so if you (or previous contributors) read it in print, delete the access date. Look for red in the references section, only two occurrences. -- Zanimum (talk) 00:47, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Ok, fixed it. Koala15 (talk) 00:08, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

Production
 * Might be worth mentioning that Jan was never formally named the director of the film, as that's not obvious from your current wording, and even some of your sources (EW) even imply that was the situation.
 * I think there should be mention of "Collisions", "Trace Radiance", and "Scatter". http://www.awn.com/articles/production/iratatouillei-pixar-style-ibon-appetiti/page/2%2C1
 * Apparently the film was more "spontaneous" than previous PIXAR films. http://www.awn.com/articles/production/iratatouillei-pixar-style-ibon-appetiti

Voice cast
 * "Remy was named after director Brad Bird's dog"... any word what Jan had named the lead rat? Not critical, but just curious.
 * Are Brian Dennehy's previous roles relevant? Did he note that he was "returning to Disney" in an interview or something?
 * Can you cite Labarthe's resemblance to Jean Reno?
 * "Thomas Keller as the male dining patron who asks what's new." Is Thomas known for his falsettos? I think the character's gender is obvious by the name Thomas.

Release
 * What's the source of the test screening?

Critical reception
 * Roger Moore's review: the wikilink points to the James Bond actor. Did he actually review the film for a Florida newspaper? Also, the link is dead. Does Archive.org have a backup?
 * This section is organized as critics, awards, critics. Perhaps rearrange? Indeed, why are the Oscars mentioned in this section at all, when everything might be best in accolades?
 * "Now, Ratatouille is tied"... when is now? As a reader, I don't know when this statement was last revised.

Similar films
 * Interesting subject header, but it works. Would it be worth mentioning that Video Brinquedo has done other rip-off films, that this isn't an isolated occurrence?

 * I'll take another look through, see if there's anything more. --  Zanimum (talk) 18:11, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Sorry this has dropped off my radar; I'll try and get back to this momentarily. --  Zanimum (talk) 17:49, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Congrats, I can't see any issues remaining. Promoted! --  Zanimum (talk) 00:28, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
