Ratatouille

Pet rats were kept at the studio in the hallway for more than a year so that the animators could study the movement of their fur, noses, ears, paws, and tails.

(at around 50 secs) Gusteau's restaurant was said to have attained a five-star rating previously, yet the French guides don't go any higher than three stars. This detail was most likely deliberately ignored by the producers because many international audiences are used to hotel ratings that go up to five stars, and would not have understood that a three-star rating is the ultimate culinary honor in France.

Every single Pixar employee--including those who did not work on the film--is listed somewhere in the credits.

The intro credits and the newspaper headlines are localized in different languages for release in different countries. These localizations are retained in the DVD and Blu-ray versions.
