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

- Ratatouille Blu-ray
Ratatouille is an excellent movie.The Blu-ray DVD is terrific.The video and sound quality are excellent.There's a good number of extras that are both informative and funny.This is a great buy!
Rating: - Everything But the Recipe
How pathetic is the mindset and state of our movie-making industry these days that the cleverest, most creative movie storytelling comes from the creators of animated features like this one?It's almost as if they are the only ones who remember how to do a completely original concept, create engaging characters and witty dialogue, and a gorgeously realized world for it all to happen. So what if the Paris of "Ratatouille" is more the Paris of dreams - it's a movie, a place to spend time in, imagining ... Read More
Rating: - Delightful family film!
I bought this for our children, ages 12 and 15, but I fell in love with this movie myself.It's absolutely delightful!
The animation is excellent. The expressions and movements of the characters are wonderfully realistic. The backgrounds are done beautifully as well - it truly did look like it was "filmed" in Paris!Very authentic.
The characters are perfect!It's easy to feel affection toward Linguini, the bumbling would-be chef, and I found myself cheering for Remy (the ... Read More
Rating: - Skip the annoying American Mall Rat voices and watch it in French...
I was originally put off from watching this film by the annoying, grating, fingernails on blackboard quality of the suburban American Mall Rat voices used for the characters in the US edition of this film. However, switching to the French language audio track with English subtitles made the entire film come together, revealing its charm, humor and wonderful Parisian aesthetic. A fantastic film, but if you're going to really enjoy it you're going to have to leave the US voices off, or it will warp your ... Read More
