That is the "standard" according to most analysts, but for some reason Pixar considers their films a success if they cover budget. Not sure why, but I read somewhere that they may include their advertising budget whenever they say the budgets of their films.

I read it...somewhere. I believe it may have been Pixar Planet.

Oh, cool. Doubling a movies budget would be tough.

I can't believe it's a 180 million dollar movie. I think they *have* to have included the advertising budget in that, even with costs for rendering the high quality animation I don't think it was a nearly 200 million dollar movie.

Really? The animation is amazing, but you could be right. I always figured they had to pay for each frame or something.

It's also on track to make as much money or more than Ratatouille, so I think we can very easily call it a success at this point.

Yeah, it'll probably be in theaters for some more time.

Ha, you're right! WALL·E will probably (rightfully) own Ratatouille.
