The Pixar film “Ratatouille” is enjoying new life. The tale of a rat who becomes a gourmet Parisian chef has gone from one of Pixar’s animated blockbusters, to a TikTok meme taken on by a collaborative community to an actual honest to goodness online musical, complete with Broadway stars. But with so many people from all over the world working on the production, who owns the rights?
Meanwhile, in the ongoing dispute between William Morris Endeavor and the Writers Guild, the agency keeps insisting they’ve got a deal on a new code of conduct but the WGA keeps saying, not so fast.
Of course we also cover some of the week’s top entertainment headlines including how Amazon’s podcast maneuver, Quibi may have found a new home and why “The Great Gatsby” is now in the public domain.
