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.
