JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A Jacksonville resident got a $70,000 surprise from a well-known internet personality that she’s been following for years. And the moment has now reached over 2.2 million views on YouTube.
YouTuber Danny Gonzalez said the idea began because he wanted to try his hand at a massive car giveaway, but once he started the process of putting it together he learned the winners are often saddled with thousands of dollars in taxes and insurance obligations.
Forget Ratatouille, here s Ratatoing! The rise and rise of the mockbuster Amelia Tait
It is hard to describe what happens 24 minutes into Ratatoing, an animated children’s movie from 2007. Four unnerving rats – one with a handlebar moustache, another in pearls – begin to jump up and down and grunt in a restaurant, in order to alarm the human clientele. “La, la, la, la, la,” they sort of sing while sort of dancing. They then do the can-can and shout “HA, HA, HA!” before making ghostly noises. Ratatoing is not, it is safe to say, a good movie. It is barely even an acceptable movie. It was created in just four months by Brazilian animation studio Vídeo Brinquedo, to be released in the same month as Ratatouille, the restaurant-and-rat-themed film that went on to win Pixar the Oscar for best animated feature.
