Ratatouille sounds totally like some rat's story in france. but in actual fact fyi, its FOOD. can you believe it?! PUN! french ratatouille may be served as a meal on its own or as a side dish. Tomatoes are a key ingredient, with garlic, onions, zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers, some herbes de Provence, and sometimes basil. All the ingredients are sautéed lightly in olive oil. and now back to the animation...


Ratatouille


a rat with a big heart and strong determination.

Ratatouille is one of the best written animated films ive ever caught. the casts are amazing, the storyline is impactful, very poetic and surreal. i would recommend this to everyone of all ages.

kids might not understand what the movie is talking however the animations are just simply amazing, humourous and definitely entertaining that they'll love it. also, the storyline filled with meaningful phrases, i learned something as a person and i believe it applies to all everyone. :0)

"The combination of Disney and Pixar never ceases to amaze, but with Ratatouille,their newest effort, animated features are brought to new heights with the bestone to date. Ratatouille is stunning, surreal while at the same time realistic,and a joy to watch. The writing is, in one word, just amazing, and the voice acting is sensational. The characters are poetic and real, and the rats are some of Disney/Pixar's cutest creations. Ratatouille is written and directed by Brad
Bird (The Incredibles), and features stellar voice acting from Peter O'Toole,
Patton Oswalt, Ian Holm, Brian Dennehy, Lou Romano, Brad Garrett, and Janeane Garofalo.

Remy (voiced by Patton Oswalt) is a little rat who dreams of
becoming a chef just like his idol, the human Gusteau (voiced by Brad Garrett).
After a mishap, Remy loses his family in the sewers and comes upon a fading
restaurant that had previously been owned by Gusteau before his untimely death.
He comes upon a lowly garbage boy, Linguini (voiced by Lou Romano), and together they set out to revive the once-legendary restaurant.

Ratatouille is filled with loads of surprises and lots of twists and turns. The animation is even more stunning here than in some of the other Disney/Pixar productions, and the breathtaking landscape of Paris, France, really adds a layer of realism to the film. The food looks so real and delicious, and the humans and rats look incredibly realistic. Remy and Linguini are both lovable characters, and the audience is rooting for them the entire way. Surprisingly enough, this movie is
the funniest of the Disney/Pixar films, with very subtle and unique humor.

As previously stated, the voice acting really makes the film different,
and each actor is perfectly suited to his or her role. The best among the bunch
happens to be Lou Romano, as he deals with his character extremely well and is
incredibly believable. There are times when the acting and animation is so
excellent that you forget you are watching an animated film altogether. Brad
Garrett is actually tolerable for once, and is excellent in his role as Gusteau,
who acts as Remy's conscience for the majority of the film. Some of the funniest
scenes in the movie are rooted from Gusteau's chats with Remy and many others
come from the relationship between Linguini and Remy. On another note, Patton
Oswalt does a magnificent job voicing Remy, and Peter O' Toole is very memorable as Anton Ego, the food critic for 'The Grim Eater'.

Overall, you can't ask for a better film than Ratatouille, a new classic from Disney/Pixar that is filled with humor, amazing animation, and, most importantly, lots of heart. Some of the scenes are so poetic and perfect that they just bring tears to your eyes.

It may be hard to believe, but Ratatouille is far better than any other animated films you will see this year, or perhaps that you will ever see. It manages tobe better than Toy Story, better than Finding Nemo, even better than the fantastic Meet the Robinsons. I saw a pre-screening of the film onSaturday, June 16, but I cannot wait to see it again once it hits theaters everywhere on June 29. See Ratatouille—it is highly original, heartwarming, uplifting, and a very thrilling movie that has to be the best animated feature of the last few decades. "
