One key point: if you can get over the natural gag reflex of seeing hundreds of rodents swarming over a restaurant kitchen, you will be free to enjoy the glory of Ratatouille, a delectable Pixar hit. Our hero is Remy, a French rat (voiced by Patton Oswalt) with a cultivated palate, who rises from his humble beginnings to become head chef at a Paris restaurant. How this happens is the stuff of Pixar magic, that ineffable blend of headlong comedy, seamless technology, and wonder (in the latter department, this movie's views of nighttime Paris are on a par with French cinema at its most lyrical). Director Brad Bird (The Incredibles) doesn't quite keep all his spinning plates in the air, but the gags are great and the animation amazingly expressive--Remy's shrugs and nods are nimbler than many flesh-and-blood actors can manage. Refreshingly, the movie's characters aren't celebrity-reliant, with the most recognizable voice coming from Peter O'Toole's snide food critic. (This fellow provides the film's sole sour note--an oddly pointed slap at critics, those craven souls who have done nothing but rave about Pixar's movies over the years.) Brad Bird's style is more quick-hit and less resonant than the approach of Pixar honcho John Lasseter, but it's hard to complain about a movie that cooks up such bountiful pleasure. --Robert Horton

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Even In The Dirtiest Of Species
It's kind of hard to describe why I loved this movie; I shouldn't be surprised at all to find that I appreciated a Pixar or Brad Bird movie so much, but considering that it stars one of the more disgusting and vile creatures on the planet, I was surprised at just how enjoyable and touching the movie is. What's impressive is that considering it's basically about a rat romping around a French gourmet restaurant's kitchen, it in no way skips acknowledging that rats are scavengers on humanity but in some way it makes that a plus for the movie (it doesn't hurt that the head of the rat colony has the voice of authority in Brian Dennehy). How the hell Pixar manages to make a rat appealing is beyond me, but they do it here (and Patton Oswalt's voice performance certainly helps as well). Definitely worth watching, especially for a subplot involving a top food critic that actually brought a tear to my eye in it's moment ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - "Anyone can cook!"
"Ratatouille" is a delicious musical treat for the whole family to enjoy. From Disney, the company famous for its mouse,comes a loveable rat Remy who wants to cook up a feast. It's an inspiring fairy tale about family, love, and the power of faith. From Michael Giacchino's bistro-worthy soundtrack to the tasty intrigues of the story, "Ratatouille" is a cinematic meal.

In "Ratatouille",Remy the rat (expertly voiced by comedian Patton Oswalt) befriends the garbage boy Linguini. As in Cyrano de Bergerac, Linguini gets the credit for Remy's amazing meals. Linguini might also be the love child of Gousteau,the chef who inspires Remy in visions. Linguini himself is smitten with the no-nonsense chef Colette (a bittersweet Jeanne Garofalo) The devious Skinner (former Bilbo Ian Holm) plans to turn Gousteau's magical recipes into instant frozen meals (like "Tooth Pickin' Chicken" and "Haggis Wraps") There's also ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The cutest mouse movie ever!!!!
It starts with a mouse colony that steals trash. Remy, the main character, doesn't like it and decides he wants to be a chef. He goes to a world famous restaurant, and secretly starts to train the garbage boy to cook. But what no one else one in the restaurant knows is its really Remy making the recipes. It's very cute and good for the whole family. One you'll want to watch over and over again!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - My favorite Pixar movie
This is my favorite Pixar animated movie and I give it 4.5 stars. I have watched this movie countless times, and I never get tired of it! Maybe it's because the main attraction is *food* and I love food. =)

Remy is a rat, but he's not your ordinary rat. He has dreams bigger than slumming it in the gutters with his family, making do with scraps from the garbage bin. His dreams encompass becoming a chef, and creating dishes that tantalize the taste buds. He occupies his time watching a cooking show by famous Parisian chef Gusteau and learning the trade in the kitchen of an old cottage. Unfortunately, being a rat, he is run off the property by the owner in a very funny scene (an old lady in hair curlers wielding a shotgun.LOL). This sets in motion his journey to realize his dream of becoming a chef.

Okay, you're probably wondering what is so great about a story in which the main character ... Read More
