My theory is that the upscalling on computer generated images must almost be as good to be Bluray quality.

I am going to have to rent or borrow a copy of Ratatoille to do a side by side comparison but for my money the DVD version is more than sufficient.

I thought so to. Until I saw the Cine-Explore option on the Cars Blu-Ray. The video clips from the movie aren't in HD for some reason, and you can see the differences immediately. That would be the same for Ratatouille. The DVD might look good, but the Blu-Ray still blows it out of the water.
