Not having an animated rat wanting to become a chef, used one that we have as a family of Ornaments, who is dressed as a chef.
Creating the background was done by using the backdrop scene for the movie , and then placing a window frame over it placing it at the back of the island stove.
Found a cane basket and a rack of spices to act as frame for the shoot. The meal on the wooden spoon is German rye bread with a slice of cheese, the spoon was taped to the handle of the fry pan to counteract the weight..The lighting is from a sky light in the kitchen,natural.

Being familiar with the movie, I can fully appreciate the efforts you made to put this image together. Very nicely done. This is still one of my favorites.
(I have never seen this movie, just the t.v. previews, so I'll vote on quality.)
What a great set up, is this really Paris? :) Composition is nice, lighting a tad harsh, colors are great, 7.
heh, cute image. very scenic, lot of depth here. composition is great. this for some reason screams scalvert to me. if not him, GREAT use of imagination :D
you did a great job setting this up! if it was a real mouse it would be a killer shot, but even as is it is pretty darn good. One small nitpick: i think the focus is slightly behind the mouse.
