With delightful new characters experience Paris from an all-new perspective. It's "terrific movie making" raves Leonard Maltin of ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT. In one of Paris' finest restaurants Remy a determined young rat dreams of becoming a renowned French chef. Torn between his family's wishes and his true calling Remy and his pal Linguini set in motion a hilarious chain of events that turns the City of Lights upside down. RATATOUILLE is a treat you'll want to enjoy again and again.System Requirements:Running Time: 111 Mins. Genre: CHILDREN/FAMILY Rating: G UPC: 786936727173 Manufacturer No: 05371400 Amazon.com: 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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - If you like your kid flicks twisted and a little "off"...then "Ratatouille" is a good choice. It's a great story with a lot to offer kids and adults. But, the reason for my comment is that apparently computer animation has reached a point where it can render the stuff of nightmares. The rats have likable personalities and make surprisingly sympathetic characters, but each and every hair is rendered. When there is rat pack on the screen, you can see each and every hair, to the point where it taps into conscious and subconscious feelings ...

I wanted to like this since it was my first blu-ray movie, but I did not. I resold it the following day. Rating: - Not appropriate for younger children even with G ratingThere should never be blasting shot guns in a G rated movie. That constitutes violence to me. My 3.5 year old daughter got very upset and we did not even get to the wonderful parts because the gun scene appears within the first 15 minutes of the film. Rating:  - A cute story for food lovers.A young rat named Remy is shunned by his family and other rats for his mature palate. While they, like all rats, eat garbage, he tries to blend flavors to enhance his food. When he, then, becomes unfortunately separated from the other rats he must learn to fend for himself for the first time and winds up in the most unlikely of situations. He teams up with Linguini, an awkward young man who is an aspiring chef. Together they are able to bring Remy's culinary visions to the (human) public. The unconventional ... Read More Rating: - Another masterpiece from PixarMany, many companies have created movies that focused on relationships between animals, people, and inanimate objects as key plot lines. Most of these movies come up short as the interactions between humans and non-humans often seem forced or fake; examples include "All Dogs go to Heaven", "Howard the Duck", "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" and "Cool World". But Pixar has mastered this art, with classics such as Toy Story, Finding Nemo, and now Ratatouille. Released in 2007, this movie is by far the best animated ... Read More |
