So while many lately have been fairly confident that Ratatouille won out as the France attraction over BATB (it's cheaper, after all), with the new film coming in at a huge blockbuster debut, I have to think it will be hard to ignore BATB as the better option (for the company fiscally, at least). No R&D work needs to be done for BATB either... it's already done for Tokyo.
I really don't see BATB as a good fit for the France pavilion. That being said we know from past precedent that they really don't care about putting much thought into that.
Interesting, I would have preferred Rats too, but after hearing the longer ride time and less screens- I'm starting to second guess myselfThe BATB ride is supposed to be significantly better than Ratatouille actually (it was drawn up for TDL, after all). It's also about 3-4 minutes longer. Rat struggles with what people complain about at UOR... it's all screens.
However I agree that Rat is the better option as the movie ties into french culture which fits the pavillion a hell of a lot better than BATB would. However, could the merchandising opportunities of BATB be too much to turn down?
