THQ today announced the winter release of the Ratatouille video game, based on the Disney/Pixar film. Ratatouille marks THQ's most comprehensive, simultaneous cross-platform launch, with the video game slated for release across 11 different systems including the Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, PSP, Nintendo's Wii, Nintendo GameCube, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS, Windows PC and Mac, as well as wireless devices. This holiday season, the Ratatouille video game is also expected to release for the PLAYSTATION 3, along with an additional version for the Nintendo DS.

Inspired by the characters and storyline from the Ratatouille film, fans will experience the sights and sounds of Paris across a multitude of gaming systems. In the game, players will assume the role of Remy, a young rat whose love for great food puts him at odds with the needs of his family. Players will experience highlights from the film, as well as the memorable characters and key locations, as they explore five action-packed worlds, more than 20 challenging missions and mini-games and go head-to-head in multiplayer. Ratatouille will allow players to evade detection from dangerous and often hungry enemies, brave the perils of the dinner-rush, and create culinary masterpieces in this senses-shattering journey to fulfill Remy's life-long dream of becoming a great chef.

In addition, the Ratatouille video game includes an exclusive sneak peak of Disney/Pixar's next film, WALL-E, the story of a little robot's comic adventure as he chases his dream across the galaxy. With the film not scheduled to hit theaters until Summer 2008, this un-lockable preview will serve as the public's first glimpse into the world of WALL-E.

THQ's Heavy Iron Studios is leading development for Ratatouille across THQ's Studio System. In addition, THQ Wireless is developing a suite of wireless content including games, wallpapers and ring-tones based on Ratatouille.
