gave something new to the table to see, this film although it was something strange to premise, but that was almost the same with kung fu panda



The Characters Most are well, the one I liked was Anton Ego as his critical character
,Remy the strange thing is that almost always the protagonist is my favorite character or the best,
linguini is like the typical failure, without reason at least, with what I saw

The animation is Pixar is fine but I'll talk it's okay
I did not find an error

and I hope to see the movies that are missing from brad bird


Final Rating 8,4

Now I only try to criticize good movies when I'm out of ideas I'll see maybe one

This is all im walterwhite and bye
Thank you for your attention

'Ratatouille' is another Pixar masterpiece! The film focuses on a rat named Remy (Patton Osawalt) who wants to be a chef but he has to hide himself from humans with the help of a garbage boy Linguini (Lou Romano), who Remy accidentally causes to become a chef.

The plot for 'Ratatouille' sounded rather lame, you wonder how a rat could be a chef as well if rats are known to spread diseases, but it somehow worked incredibly well, constant references to the diseases rats carry are made throughout the film and yeah, I don't think I would eat anything made by a rat!

'Ratatouille' is a great film, it features intelligent plotting and likeable characters and is up there with many Pixar films!

I already saw this movie but since it was a while back and since it is available on Disney+, I was quite eager to check it again. Anyway, back then, the Pixar features were quite amazing and this movie was not an exception. First of all, the story actually did sound rather lame (a rat becoming a cook) and you could imagine that their colleagues at Disney could have ruined the whole thing by making something really childish, oversentimental and completely cheesy. Fortunately, the plot surprisingly worked and the whole thing was funny, touching and quite entertaining and, as usual, the animation was downright gorgeous. Even though Brad Bird was credited as making yet another impressive animated feature, as a matter of fact, this project was actually developped by Jan Pinkava from 2001 until 2005 when Brad Bird took over. Apparently, because they lacked confidence in Pinkava's story development, Pixar management decided to replace him and they seemed to have made the right choice since it was again a massive success for them, however, we will never know how Pinkava's version would have turned out to be (there was a similar conflict with 'Brave' for which director Brenda Chapman was also replaced). Coming back to our main feature, the only issue I had was that, even though Remy was indeed a great character, in my opinion, Linguini was not so strong though and they did struggle to make the two characters work convincingly together. Anyway, even though it is not my favorite Pixar movie, it is still one of their best productions and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.

Over the years, Pixar Animation Studios have charmed us with their beautiful stories and strong characters but I think Ratatouille became their most extraordinary and perhaps their most adult friendly picture at the time so at first I wasn't really sure what to expect out of this one. However, I watched it and despite that it is perhaps more for adults than for kids, there still are many child-friendly moments within the film. Of course, people are going to find it a tad bit odd where a rat cooks but the deep story behind it makes it an underdog story that is an inspiration. The only weakness that Ratatouille has is that it lacked humour. According to critics and to Pixar themselves, they class this as a comedy but I wouldn't really call it a comedy at all because the film is too serious to be funny.


How often do we see films based on food or chefs? I can only think of this one, obviously, and Julie & Julia so food is a very rare theme for cinema. The only way where films about food can work are either ones based on true stories or animated films (which is exactly what Ratatouille and Julie & Julia are). Plus, it can be quite hard to write a film about food without them being too similar to each other. Anyway, Ratatouille is literally a film on its own and no other film in the future based on this theme can ever be repeated or even surpassed.


Ratatouille tells the story of a young country rat called Remy who desires to be a French chef but because he is a rat and how badly humans treat rodents around food and around the kitchen, it is an almost impossible dream. He is surrounded by his father and brother who are bewildered at Remy and want him to act like them who just steal and eat garbage. One day when Remy and his brother Emile are in the kitchen of an elderly lady (in the same house where the rats are staying but up in her attic), they are forced to evacuate and move away which leads to Remy's separation from his family and friends so he ends up in Paris and finds his hero Auguste Gusteau's restaurant. Whilst there, he encounters Linguini while trying to fix a soup that Linguini himself actually messed up. When they both discover that neither can work alone so together they form a pact and work together in the restaurant but who will get all the fame and come out on top?


Many times over the years we have seen films made in a certain country by a certain organization but is set somewhere else with different characters who either speak that language or at least speak the same language in the country where it was made but with an accent but at the same time, there are films that are set in a different country to what organization made the film and some actors speak in either that very accent or language. Ratatouille was made by an American organization but is set in Paris, France and the majority of actors who are American themselves speak English but with a French accent and that makes the film even better, even more understanding for children and doesn't wreck the realism of the film at all. The only characters who don't speak in French accents are Remy, Linguini, Emile and Remy and Emile's father Django. In every Pixar film, there is normally at least one Hollywood actor or for that matter, at least one famous actor but I hadn't even heard of one single actor involved in Ratatouille except for Ian Holm who provided the voice of Skinner. If there is any message that the characters within bring out is that even one so small and one who perhaps has the opposite chance of succeeding, if you've got your heart set on something, don't give up and that is exactly what Remy did.


Director Brad Bird became a huge success after superhero action-comedy The Incredibles and he once again, manages to do the same thing all over again but this time, he gave us something more personal but not something funnier than before. Bird rightfully deserves his award for Best Animated Picture for both films and if he decides to direct another Pixar animated film, I will definitely be there to see it! Ratatouille is perhaps the closest to a foreign film because every other Pixar film (even WALL-E despite it is set in space and Monsters, Inc. which is set in a totally different world) are very American. The script was incredible and for the first time, Pixar used narration. I think the reason for this was because it was Remy telling his story from the very beginning and then we see him at the present time towards the very end of the film. His narrated speeches and when Ego narrated his review on Gusteau's restaurant was written perfectly!


Overall, Ratatouille is Pixar's most adult film to date, one of their best films and it is a very powerful story on inspiration, courage and pride. It may have quite an adult story but it is charming enough for both adults and children to enjoy. The entire film is a pleasure to watch but another moment of pleasure you will get whilst watching Ratatouille is that you will feel hungry! I hope there won't be a sequel to this because, quite frankly, there doesn't even need to be.

"If you are what you eat, then I only want to eat the good stuff."

In all likelihood, the Best Animated Feature Oscar should be renamed the Disney-Pixar Excellence in Animation Award. No other animation production house has, with any regularity, managed to equal or top Pixar's dizzying heights of brilliance, nor have they met Pixar's ambitious standards. There are pretenders and contenders, but Pixar continues to set the bar by which all other animated features are judged. Due to this, 2007's Ratatouille was burdened with high expectations. Added to the pressure was the fact that 2006's Cars was Pixar's first bad movie. Thankfully, it would appear that Cars was just a one-off anomaly, because Ratatouille is just as funny, joyful and heartfelt as anything Pixar has ever produced. Comparing Pixar's Ratatouille or Toy Story with the likes of, say, Kung Fu Panda or Shark Tale is like comparing fine wine with light beer - both have their surface pleasures, but the former bestows many additional delights.

Remy (Oswalt) is a rat with a highly developed sense of taste and smell who dreams of becoming a chef. He idolises now-deceased French chef Gusteau who preached a motto which Remy took to heart: "Anyone can cook". Through a curious set of circumstances, Remy becomes separated from his clan. However, Remy is delighted to discover that he is in the heart of Paris directly across the street from Gusteau's once-renowned restaurant. Helpless to resist exploring the kitchen, Remy ends up putting his own unique spin on a soup which fast becomes popular with the restaurant's clientele. Credit for the soup goes to a dishwasher named Linguini (Romano) who is the only one to notice Remy's talent. With pressure mounting for Linguini to replicate his soup and create more dishes, Linguini and Remy strike a compromise: Remy will use Linguini as his puppet during cooking, and nobody will know that a rodent is responsible for such fine food.

Naturally, it's easy to be disgusted by the notion of a rodent being a chef who handles food that humans will eat. However, writer-director Brad Bird chose to exploit the shaky convergence of the rodent and human worlds in order to revive one of the oldest, most reliable narrative staples in family-movie history: the misunderstood outcast who flourishes when he finds his unique niche. Additionally, Ratatouille could be perceived as a parable about racism and tolerance. The conflict is between humans and rats, and the breakthrough arrives when members of each species learn about members of the other. Ratatouille is endowed with sweet moral values - messages about love, friendship, family and understanding. The final twenty minutes of the film are particularly triumphant, with a climax that's moving and meaningful. A food critic (O'Toole) emerges as the film's ostensible villain, but Bird's handling of the role is unpredictable and genuinely surprising, as well as indicative of the film's humanity.

Prior to Ratatouille, Brad Bird helmed Pixar's 2004 hit The Incredibles along with The Iron Giant and episodes of The Simpsons. Fortunately, Bird's deft touch is evident throughout Ratatouille. Bird - who also wrote the script - did not give into easy gags or forced humour, but rather opted to develop the story with a light touch and let the comedy emerge organically. While Bird allowed for a few frantic chase sequences, they were pulled off with such finesse that they register as necessities rather than distractions. There are no song-and-dance numbers in the movie to enrapture the kids, but there's plenty of comedy that's universal enough to tickle the funny bone of viewers of all ages (not to mention there are the aforementioned chase sequences, too). However, Ratatouille is admittedly long for an animated feature, with a runtime of roughly 110 minutes. It's not as sluggish or weighty as Cars, but there are a few slow patches.

Among the first thing a viewer will notice about Ratatouille - or any Pixar movie, for that matter - is the computer animation. It seems as though the animation keeps getting better with every picture that Pixar produces. Ratatouille offers borderline photorealistic backgrounds, in addition to thoroughly detailed character depictions, though the characters are still recognisably cartoonish. Since this is a Disney movie, the animators emphasised the "cute" aspects of the rats (the round pink nose and the wide, innocent eyes), but there can be no mistaking what they are. All the food looks real enough to eat, as well. Ratatouille is simply a marvel to observe.

The voice talent present in the movie combines tried-and-true names from Pixar's stable (like John Ratzenberger) with such actors as Ian Holm, Brian Dennehy, Peter O'Toole and Janeane Garofalo. Patton Oswalt is especially outstanding as Remy - he's passionate and unafraid, and his line delivery is so matter-of-fact that his outlandish statements seem to make sense. Lou Romano (previously seen in Cars voicing Snotrod) is also perfect as the perpetually awkward Linguini. Brad Garrett (armed with a French accent) is equally remarkable as the legendary Gusteau, while O'Toole is memorable as the egotistical food critic. Like all of Pixar's movies, the stars were chosen not on the basis of how they sell, but on the basis of whether they suit the role they've been allocated.

Clocking in at almost two hours in length, Ratatouille demands a longer attention span than most animated movies. In many ways, it's probably too sophisticated for younger children as well. Yet, the movie rewards those with patience; offering a number of impressive set-pieces, big laughs and plenty of heart. Ratatouille has that old-world movie magic - it's the type of movie that you watch as if you were a child again, but with the appreciation of an adult.

8.9/10

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 the employees. The way Remy is hidden, is in the garbage boy's hat. All goes wrong when The head chef finds out about his secret, and begins investigating. Remy gets his rat family to assist in the restaurant. I found that specific scene hysterical. Just imagine twenty or more rats controlling a kitchen, and baking food for guests. Silly, but fun. The garbage boy turns out to be the recently deceased owner's son, so the restaurant is turned over to him. I thought the story was great. It had me laughing more than some other Pixar films, which isn't easy to do. I didn't notice any flaws, or cons that could take away from the greatness of this movie.

Ratatouille is one of the best Pixar films, or for that matter animated films I have ever seen. It could be compared to something like Finding Nemo, and that is difficult to top. This flick comes highly recommended. You will enjoy watching it with your family, or even friends. Great feature.

9.5/10

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 looks so real and detailed. The animation makes this movie one of the best looking you will have seen.

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.
