Ratatouille

Pros: Wonderful animation. Funny, entertaining movie with great characters.
Cons: None for me.

Since 1995 with the release of Toy Story, Pixar has been making excellent computer animated movies. I have seen and loved all of their movies. They somehow keep managing to top their previous movies with every new ...

Pros: Artistic, infectious animation with a wonderful theme and premise.
Cons: A bit long in the tooth.

Does the idea of having a rat named Remy (Patton Oswald) cooking French food in your kitchen sound preposterous? If you plan on watching Ratatouille (2007) then you should be prepared to embrace a fictional rat who is a bit different when ...

Pros: Plenty of laughs, some neat jokes and asides, plenty of details for the trivia buffs.
Cons: None that I can find.

I've never been much of one for animation, even as a kid, I never really was into the genre. And as an adult it got worse, there was something about the overwhelming cuteness, the high voices, the often inept style, it all annoyed me to pieces and I ...

Pros: very good message, great animation, funny scenes, good story
Cons: not quite enough heart

Remy is a young rat who has been living in France with his family and colony of rats in the house of an elderly woman. While most of them are fine eating crumbs and digging through the garbage for food, Remy has a pallet designed for must more ...

Pros: Very funny scenes, top notch animation as always
Cons: Too may plots spoiled the broth

I knew this day would come eventually, but I was dreading it. Since I first saw Toy Story in 1995, I have been in love with Pixar. The only one of their films I didn't instantly love was The Incredibles, but even that one I grew to love ...

Pros: Gee-whiz 3D animation, witty script, great voice cast
Cons: None

With the success of the Pixar/Walt Disney collaborative efforts Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc, and The Incredibles, it looks as though animated films, particularly computer-animated films, are experiencing a creative Renaissance as critics and ...

Pros: simply glorious
Cons: might not maintain the attention of especially young viewers

It took me half a year, but I finally saw Ratatouille, the latest result of the brilliant collaboration between Disney and Pixar. I toasted the new year with a rat and his gangly human puppet, and it was a beautiful way to bring in 2008. I knew ...

Pros: Animation, voice performances, charming story, values and dreams
Cons: None, in my opinion

Story: Remy is a Norwegian rat, living somewhere near Paris, France, who has a rare gift: his sense of smell is very well-developed, as is his ability to distinguish between good and bad food. He lives with his clan, who will eat anything, and ...

Pros: the realistic animation, great story, great character development, lessons to be learned
Cons: none!

I am a self proclaimed chef and from the moment I saw the previews on Ratatouille, I couldn’t wait to see it. And since it is a Pixar film, my husband wanted to see it as well…My three year old, well, I think he wanted to see it because mommy ...

Pros: An animated film that is fun for the whole family.
Cons: None.

We have all likely done the same thing. After watching a television infomercial about how easy it might be to complete a certain task thanks to a miracle invention, many of us perhaps call the toll free number, hand over our credit card information and ...

Pros: Entire voiceover cast, particularly Remy (Patton Oswalt), animation, creativity.
Cons: None noted.

The animation on this film was incredible. Our family watched in amazement each character, which was performed with voiceover excellence, by the entire cast. The lead character, Remy, is voiced by Patton Oswalt (Spence on King of Queens). Remy ...

Pros: Everything imaginable about this movie is perfect.
Cons: Not one blessed thing. (Except it's got RATS!)

Ratatouille (2007) Directed by Brad Bird. ”If you are what you eat, then I only want to eat the good stuff.” Remy, a rat. That is the philosophy of France’s most unusual gourmand, Remy. Remy is a rat, and there in lies his tragedy. ...

Pros: great original story; beautiful sets; impeccable 3-D animation; superb characterization; humour
Cons: overdone French accents

Remy is a rat cursed with a refined palate. While his family and friends chow down on any garbage they can lay their filthy paws on, Remy walks on his hind legs to keep his front paws clean and hankers for a mix of ingredients that will tantalize his ...

Pros: Humor, casting, imagination
Cons: Not for all Disney-Pixar buffs

Not everyone will enjoy Ratatouille the way I did. For instance, it's not exactly the kind of movie where you can sell tons of toys and video games (although Disney seems to have tried). It doesn't have the kind of sweet, affable humor that a movie like ...

Pros: beautiful, beautiful, did I mention beautiful. Hilarious, great story.
Cons: Slightly predictable, but get over it if you care.

After Ratatouille went through a director transition and a complete revamp after Steven Jobs and other higher ups in Pixar claimed it unacceptable for release there was some question as to what sort of quality the movie would have. It rides of the tails ...
