in Rattatolie
all the rats are norway rats, a demesticated breed.
were in france running wild would be rattus rattus.
Why did Disney do this?
because they had a rat person bring them in rats to observe so they would learn how to draw rats properly.
so there you go, why disney has pet rats depicted as wild in paris france.
Something only a rat person would notice
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

Re: Something only a rat person would notice
You have no idea how many nights I have laid away, starring at the ceiling thinking...why, oh why did Disney depict pet rats as wild. In fact, almost as much time as I have spent doing the same thing asking why anyone would want a pet rat! Thankfully, another mystery of life solved.drcorey wrote:in Rattatolie

Re: Something only a rat person would notice
Many years ago my Uncle had a pet rat...
My Grandma didn't like it, told him to get rid of it, so he set it "free" in their basement......
would that rat then be a "wild" rat?

Or the movie is a sequel and the rats the descendents of the lab rats from the Secret of NIMH.

I'd go wild if I was stuck in a basement. :mad:DisneyMom wrote:Many years ago my Uncle had a pet rat...

Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

Re: Something only a rat person would notice
Out here, there are wild parrots, usually green ones, though Whatbird.com says there's red ones as well, haven't seen any. There are theories as to where they came from, but I believe they are pet parrots who escaped and are now living wild. They're not native, and from time to time I see ads for lost birds .

I see large and small pet birds flying around.

Re: Something only a rat person would notice
When we go vacation in San Diego's Ocean Beach, there are flocks of "Wild" Parrots overhead who are apparently well-suited to their Beach Lifestyle. I am sure they are several generations from being pets.
On the other hand, when we go to the "Safari Park" we have seen the local Deer, Rabbits and Foxes in the enclosures, enjoying free feed, grass and I imagine the mice who also partake. The Park Staff call them "Freeloaders". :bambi:
