"'It's goofy-but goofy can also be smart' Co-director Jan Pinkava, who led the films visual development, felt that the look of the film should complement the strong cartooniness of its concept. A talented sculptor who grew up surrounded by the central European tradition of puppetry, he felt the time was right to experiment with a CG aesthetic influenced by literally three dimensional art forms. 'We wanted to give the characters and sets a 'puppety' look-that feeling you get with scale figures, puppets, or stop-motion animation; that lovely appeal of things being small-scale and handmade.' says Pinkava. He and Ratatouille production designer Harley Jessup decided on an over-scaled look in which full-sized characters, props, and environments would be given the exaggerated dimensions and warm imperfections of miniatures writ large."
