PASADENA, Calif., June 27, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Disney Store (Nasdaq:PLCE) is bringing some Parisian flavor to your local mall this summer with its exclusive offering of toys, apparel and home goods themed after Disney Pixar's summer comedy film, Ratatouille.

Disney Store designers worked with the Pixar creators to bring the magic of the film home to the entire family...a full set of plush friends, interactive toys and colorful tees await gourmands inspired by Remy and his pursuit to become Paris' greatest chef. A "Smell and Speak" interactive Remy (SRP $34.50) is a fun way to teach little tykes the names and uses of foods. A chubby plush Emille puppet devours toy morsels (SRP $24.50), the complete set of hand-painted character action figures that actually talk (SRP $12.50/each) and plush youth costumes add to hours of imaginative role play (SRP $29.50 each).

Delight the gourmet in kids and parents alike with coordinating chef sets, which include aprons, hats and oven mitts (SRP $14.50 -- $19.50). Start grooming those soon-to-be master chefs at home with a kids' cooking set (SRP $16.50), which includes a full set of kitchen essentials: 10 cup non-slip bowl, measuring cup and spoons, whisk, cake pan and more! Kids can then enjoy their master creations en plein air with the portable Picnic Set: a delightful pair of plates, cups and utensils cleverly packaged in a fold-up picnic table (SRP $19.50.)

Enjoy good taste entertaining with hors d'oeuvres plates, mugs, cloth napkins and coasters (SRP $12.50 -- $24.50), all hand decorated in French blue on white ceramic and reminiscent of a Left Bank bistro. Clever character cheese spreaders, Remy topped corkscrew and bottle stoppers (SRP $9.50 -- $19.50) add a charming sense of fun to summer cocktail parties.

See the movie opening weekend (June 29 -- July 1) and bring your ticket stub to your local Disney Store to receive a free Ratatouille Pin (while supplies last). New Ratatouille product will be arriving each week, so rendezvous at Disney Store all summer long to add to your collection. For store locations in the U.S. and Canada, call 800-757-5933.
