the cinemasins guy thinks Ratatouille takes place in contemporary France does he believe it still looks like the 60s over there wtf
okay well maybe it does take place in the modern era, I just zoomed in on a newspaper and it has "www.journal.fr" written on it, also Colette's bike looks pretty recent
The old TV at the beginning can be justified by it being an old lady's house and maybe by stretching a little bit, the old TV and fridge in Linguini's house is because he lives in a small, cramped and cheap apartment because he's poor?
But even considering that Pixar really fantasized Paris in this movie
Yeah I think it was Pixar's intent to make the period of time when Ratatouille takes place blurry because there's such a mishmash of stuff from different timeframes, and these headlines (I think of "Belgium to boycott world conference" doesn't match with anything that really happened), also there's no date on this newspaper
So yeah Ratatouille takes place in a fantasized, uchronic Paris
@Siphonay It feels like the typical Pixar, ultra idealized version of the world. Like, look how quaint and beautiful things are, but also they have smartphones, but no one is an edgelord.
