Disney-Pixar’s new film “RATATOUILLE,” directed by Brad Bird and produced by Sonoma’s own John Lasseter -- creator of “Cars,” “Toy Story,” and “A Bug’s Life,” among other award winning films -- will open for an extended engagement on Friday, June 29, at the Sebastiani Theatre in Sonoma. A charming story with vivid animation and wonderful characters, “RATATOUILLE” is a adorable tale of a rat who dreams of being a 5-star chef in Paris.

Opening Night will also mark the beginning of a fund raising drive with a special raffle to benefit the Sebastiani Theatre. The featured raffle prize of the fund raiser is an original one-of-a-kind collectable Wall Art piece featuring a digital rendering of the Parisian skyline along with RATATOUILLE’s star character, “Remy.” This spectacular Wall Art piece was created by Darryl and Susan Bellach of Kenwood and is hand signed by Producer John Lasseter, Director Brad Bird, and other celebrity talents of the film. The “RATATOUILLE” graphics of the art piece are laser-cut to form a 3-D format that sets it apart from any other artwork. The graphics are embedded in high gloss clear acrylic resin that makes the colors come alive. The surrounding frame is aniline dyed “hand brushed,” aluminum accented with hand crafted woods, and is offset with the “RATATOUILLE” logo that is also in 3-D. This 3 1/2’ x 5 1/2’ original artwork is valued at over $30,000 and is sure to become a collector’s item.

You can now purchase a Raffle ticket to have a chance to own this TRES MAGNIFIQUE PRICELESS artwork. Tickets are only $25. To reserve yours, call the Sebastiani Theatre at 707/996-9756.
