There, they meet David Seville, a struggling songwriter and composer, who has changed them into a very successful band of singers.
Remy in Ratatouille
Remy is a highly intelligent and idealistic young rat in the 2007 American computer-animated comedy film Ratatouille. With unusual senses of taste and smell, he dreams of becoming a chef like his idol（偶像）, the late Auguste Gusteau.
He befriends Linguini, the garbage boy, in Suguste Gusteau's restaurant and has helped him become a famous cook. He hides under Linguini's hat and guides his movements by pulling on his hair.
Totoro in My Neighbor Totoro
It is hard to relate the character in the Japanese animation film My Neighbour Totoro to any creature close to a mouse. But the image for Totoro was inspired by something similar to a mouse-chinchilla. The animation film was written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki in 1988.
Totoro becomes a friend to many children as well as adults. It always reminds people of the beautiful natural landscape of the countryside.

3 . Great Activities for Nature Lovers
Hiking
One of the easiest and most accessible ways to get close to nature is by setting out on a good old fashioned hike. Hiking generally doesn’t require any fancy equipment or special skills, just a piece of map and a thirst for adventure. This activity can be as relaxing as you make it.
Backcountry Camping
Why limit yourself to just a day hike when you can have a full weekend (or longer) adventure? Backcountry camping involves packing your tent, sleeping gear, food, and water on your back to set up camp in a remote location. If you’re an experienced hiker and camper, this is an excellent way to test your survival skills and explore the wilderness.
Mountain and Road Biking
Unlike long hikes through the woods, biking allows you to cover more ground and travel farther in nature. Mountain biking typically involves riding up and down steep slopes, between trees, and over rocks. If this sounds too intense or your tires aren’t suited for rugged terrain, consider taking a road bike on paved trails through forest preserves or along country roads.
Gardening
Contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to travel beyond your own backyard to experience the beauty of nature every day. If your personality is less adventurous or your mobility restricted, consider planting a garden to grow your own vegetables, fruits, herbs, or flowers. There’s something truly satisfying about mixing up a salad with fresh ingredients you grew yourself. One of the best parts about spending time in nature is that it doesn’t have to break your budget and anyone can do it.

Research, market testing, talent, time and money —— all come together to make us want to buy a product.
No matter how bad we think a commercial is, it works. The sales of Charm went up once the ads began. TV commercials actually buy their way into our head. We, in turn, buy the product.
And the ads work because so much time and attention are given to them. Here are some rules of commercial ad making. If you want to get the low middle – class buyer, make sure the announcer has a though, manly voice. Put some people in the ad who work with their hands. If you want to sell to upper – class audience, make sure that the house, the furniture, and the hair style are the types that the group identifies with. If you want the buyer feel superior to the character selling the product, then make that person so stupid or silly that everyone will feel great about himself or herself.
We laugh at commercials. We don’t think we pay that much attention to them. But evidence shows we are kidding ourselves. The making of a commercial that costs so much money is not kid stuff.
