Pixar seems to never fail, and Ratatouille is no exception. I have only just seen this film, after hearing about it about a year ago, and had very high expectations coming in. they were dead on. Remy (Patton Oswalt) is a rat that loves food and cooking. He studies the famous cooks, and knows tons about certain dishes. He is also a great cook. There's only one problem: he has no way of expressing his talent. One day, Remy stumbles upon one of the most famous restaurants in Paris, while traveling down water pipes. He is awfully excited to see it, but has no way of getting in, considering he is a rat. Coincidentally, he befriends the garbage boy who works at the restaurant. The garbage boy gets help from Remy in cooking some of the food, and eventually becomes loved by the guests, and ...Read more

Finally got to see this movie as it just came to DVD today 11 Feb 2008 in the UK. Well here is my review. Ratatouille is a good movie but what I can say it is not the best movie from Pixar as Toy Story 1 that is still the best. The story is not bad the truth is this would never happen the story is set in France though quite a few talk in American rather then a French accent. Anyway back to the story this is about a rat called Remy who would love to be a chef he loves the work of chef Auguste Gusteau when he dies Gusteau appears as a ghost to Remy. Chef Gusteau leads Remy and gives him some help on getting into the real kitchen. Remy then finds Linguini a guy with little talent which would then lead Remy to help out Linguini. The animation is something that this movie is great on it ...Read more

The storyline got to me a lot, because, well, my mother's a chef, and I, like Linguini in the film, don't have her talent, so I really related to that! Yes, anyone can cook, but as Gusteau says, not everyone is a great artist.

This is a splendid Pixar film. Great animation, loved those rats! The cute and evil characters are all enjoyable. A very funny picture. Great lines.

All the kids and grown-ups should love it. As an example, my 60-something father has never seen a Pixar picture for different reasons (he's against "animated films"), but when I mentioned I had rented Ratatouille, to my surprise and delight, he said he wanted to watch it. In the end, he loved it!!! So, *everyone* should love Ratatouille, a truly wonderful animated movie.

Pixar has set the bar high again with this film. The graphics are excellent and the story was wonderful. Pixar movies have always been must see events and this one didn't disappoint.

I took the kids to this one and we all agreed that it was a great film. Like most of Pixar's films they have a story that grabs you and brings you along for a wonderful ride. This time we follow an entertaining rat that loves to cook food. He ends up in an upscale French restaurant where the fun begins.

If you watch this movie, you will get a lot of laughs and an enjoyable experience. This movie is one that all ages will love.

This is quite honestly a cute and memorable family film.

The animation is what we have come to expect from Pixar. What really impressed me about this one however is how rich and textured the environments were, especially in the kitchen. It felt warm and inviting just like a kitchen should.

The characters are wonderfully original and actually fairly complex individuals for an animated film. Adding some dimensions above the comprehensions of five-year olds for the adults of us which Pixar also has a history of doing well.

It was cute, it will give a few laughs and you will genuinely enjoy yourself.
