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

 Three RATified Thumbs Up! July 1, 2009
D. G. Shands (Venice, CA)
Myself, my husband and my 9 year old son ALL just LOVE this movie -- it's hard to get my husband to watch a kids' movie more than once. . .but HE requests this one on movie night! :)
In our opinion, it's fun, even a bit educational about food & flavors (you'll wanna eat Italian afterward!), kind to animals ;) and I love seeing Paris! Genuine FUN for the whole family. We buy few movies but we were in line when this one came out! ;) ENJOY!
Bought it for my daughter July 1, 2009

A little slow for adults but interesting and without the adult humor you find in other cartoons.
My daughter loves it.
Watching the behind the scenes clips, I wasn't impressed with who I guess was the director.

K. Davis (Prescott, AZ, USA)
This is a charming, lovely, beautiful film. I know it's aimed at kids but as an adult, I find it just to my taste. Paris looks enchanting and so real. I love to view it often since I love Paris.

Ratatouille, the second Pixar movie to be directed by Brad Bird, is some serious gourmet ______. Allow me to go into reviewing this fine movie without having to resort to a cheesy intro filled with terrible puns related to food (nice cliched intro, eh?).
Ratatouille's message is pretty simple, but like other Pixar works, they never turn into a preach-fest (which is something all movies should never do), serving up a mix of humor, some action, and people actually doing interesting things instead of just sitting around and talking. Few things are more entertaining in the Pixar canon than watching a rat (which is somehow cute, but that's because animals are naturally cuter than humans because they are the ______) cook gourmet soup. However,
Pixar is not often known for elaborate witty humor, as some of the slapstick in this movie is not my type of humor (yeah, my humor includes movies like Pulp Fiction and Dead Alive). Thankfully, there is not a lot of childish slapstick, and even some of the slapstick scenes are kind of funny. And there is some sharp dialogue thrown in there ("Now shut up and eat your garbage". "Don't be so modest your a rat for pete's sake" etc)I do however, think the Collete and Linguini relationship was just thrown in there to make the movie seem more intimate, but that is pretty much kept to a minimum.
Of course, Pixar also is able to create a cast of characters that makes the entertaining parts actually entertaining, and characters you actually give a damn about. The rat colony and family, the short, leering antagonist, and a colorful set of kitchen cooks (with one that has done time, no less) And of course, an animated rat is proved to be likeable. My favorite character is Anton Ego, the powerful food critic (actually pretty dead on description of critics) whom everyone fears, a leering intimidating man, but ultimately a bit good natured and actually humane (and no, he is NOT evil. Watch the flashback you idiots).
As usual, the animation is top notch. Thanks to the flawless animation and an imagination, Pixar was able to recreate a fantasty version of Paris, somewhat romanticized, but brilliant nonetheless. Remy's overhead look of Paris is dazzling, as well as the lush, homey country at the beggining of the movie. Furthermore, it's got enough variety into the imagined version of Paris that's it's extremely believable and not just some choked up romantic version of Paris that exists in everyone dreams (which is somewhat true, but Paris obviously has plenty of bad areas with an abscence of lights). There's plenty of grit and grime of a real city, which is pleasing to know so, and feels very Paris in the grit and grime way. Also worth noting is the challenged they overcame by making the actual computer generated food look somewhat delicious, and it kind of does. Everything else is wonderfully detailed as usual, from the water, rain, to the fantastically designed interiors (!).
Voice casting? Ratatouille doesn't have as many big names as Cars did (the number of special people on that movie were insane!), but I'm not quite sure if Peter O' Toole's voice isn't smaller than any of them. Come on, this was the guy that was in Lawrence of Arabia and Caligula (Yeah, why the ________ am I namedropping a pornographic movie in a review for a family film) But O' Toole or not, the other cast memembers are no slouches either. Other big names in the adult movie world include Ian Holm, who was in Alien and Brazil, as well as Lord of the Rings.
Is Ratatouille the best Pixar movie? No, but it's definitely up there. And to think that a movie studio that made such a milestone like Toy Story is still releasing movies that are still pushing the envelope in what they are doing with computer animation and storytelling (maybe not storytelling since not every plot they do is that interesting to me, such as WALL-E).
Oh, and one other thing. Isn't the comparison to food and music absolutely dead on? Whoa!
B+
Great movie, good story June 23, 2009

This is a great, great movie that everyone will enjoy. good story line and quality animation. My only regret is that i didn't see it on the big screen at a movie theatre where I could have really enjoyed & appreciated even more the visuals and great stereo surround sound. For those of you who are squeamish about rats, put aside your fears because this movie is more than worth the price of admission!
