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.
