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!
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!
Rating: - Bought it for my daughter
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.
Rating: - Ratatouille
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.

- As Fresh As A Steamed Loaf of Bread
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 ... Read More
Rating: - Great movie, good story
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!
