FC Rat Queen Development

FC Rat Development

I seem fated to draw stuff that people can liken to a current animation project. I got "Oh, it's like Chicken Run, isn't it?" when originally pitching Frankenchicken and was forced to say on numerous occasions "Well, yes in the sense that it has a chicken in it, but you wouldn't say to someone who was pitching an idea that had a human in it "Oh, that's just like Total Recall, isn't it?"" Naturally, I was wasting my breath, but one must at least try. Now that I'm developing the design for the rats in Frankenchicken, I will inevitably get "Oh, that's just like Ratatouille, isn't it?" Which in itself isn't a terrible thing. I love the look of Ratatouille and am really looking forward to seeing it. However, I don't want people to think that Ratatouille is the reason I'm drawing rats. Cos it's not.
