Too much of everything

So much average

Pretty Good

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Although the idea of rats preparing food in a restaurant is anything less than appealing, this was a delightful, entertaining movie! 'Ratatouille' is just bursting with flavor! Whisk together stunning animation, a fantastic plot, great characters, and blend in humor, drama, action and adventure and you have a recipe for success! I enjoyed every moment. This is one of my favorite animated films, actually.

Movie Review: "Ratatouille" (2007)This digital animated feature marks an all-time highlight at Pixar Animation Studios; a library of total 19 movies as of December 31st 2017, where "Ratatouille" directed Brad Bird, known for the highly successful Pixar Action Movie "The Incredibles" (2004), had been also the very first release of Pixar film presented by Walt Disney Pictures after the animation company's take-over in year of 2006.The visuals are explicitly designed as fluently animated in a non-motion-capture utilizing production workflow of certified-hundred-percent animation artwork from the very first pencil storyboard sketches to digital screens of a Pixar work station in Emeryville, California, where a vast amount of dedicated employees within this 150 Million Dollar major Hollywood production machinery. Disney's trademark goods are fully deliverd from originality with an all-cleaned up blue-grey-clolred rat, called charmingly Remy, accompanied with its punch-line-spreading family members, all up front the character of Skinner, vocally portrayed by actor Ian Holm, who gets convinced to let Remy becoming the best cook in town over creativity by using a kitchen boy's body over pulling his red hair to cook in all-rewarding soup of taste for five-star restaurant guests in a well-researched City of Paris side-alley locations to jaw-dropping moments of truth with the character of Anton Ego, a Parisian restaurant critic of life-or-death bringing proportions, sophisticatly given voice by a fine vocal performance through actor Peter O'Toole (1932-2013), when human emotions strike by the minute with rural grandma shot-gunning the family of rats back into sewers, before Remy rises again from desolation with dreamy voices of late 3-star-chef Gusteau in his head, with destinctively vocals by voice actor Brad Garrett, to bring happiness for a suspenseful as obstacle-filled plot of the contineous wish of a Disney's movie main character's fullfillment of dreams as thrilling exposure of falsly-contracted restaurant owners to share non-stop surprises as twists in the most accomplished Pixar screenplay also-written by Director Brad Bird, based on story pitches of screenwriters Jan Pinkava and Jim Copabianco, who had been part of a 17-head-strong brainstorm group of writers at Walt Disney Pictures in the 1990s of the still superior live-drawn wildlife animation-movie "The Lion King" (1994).The spectre, who seeks a best of cinema occasion in the purest sense and does not shy away from at times all-too-polished looking digital animation work will have the time of life with movie moments that stay in mind long after the theater curtain drops. © 2018 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)

This film (along with Monsters Inc and toy story 2) occupies a special place in the Pixar filmography for me. I find these three films the equal of any of Ghibli's masterpieces. Superbly paced with a great central character, an outstanding villain and a sophisticated script, it's hard to find anyone finding fault with it. And it's also arguably the greatest 'food' movie ever made. Not to mention one of the finest depictions of an artist on screen.One of the all time great movies.10/10

When it comes to animated movies, the movies I like most are the ones which appeal to children as well as adults equally. This is second movie I have liked from director Brad Bird besides The incredibles. It is better than the incredibles. I like the story, a rat controlling a human and the critic's take in the given movie.Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography: A rat losing his family along the sewers, becoming a chef, impressing a critic for what he is, also how Paris is projected from certain height, etcetera, everything has been captured well.Tone: Number one chef in Paris states that anyone can cook which really meant a person having the respected job can come from any part of society. Here the rat comes in as chef and even becomes most successful of them all. It is captured well.Music: Music is average.Final verdict: It is worth saving in your DVD collection.
