Ratatouille

The French have a food thing going.
A certain rat becomes a chef by virtue of his nose.
He convinces a human to be his proxy chef
and he launches a career in 5 star cooking.
Talking mice go back a ways to:Ben and Me: An Astonishing Life of Benjamin Franklin by His Good Mouse Amos
It might be said that since the black plague which was spread by fleas
on rats in the middle ages, rats have had
a very bad reputation. From the experimental lab
where rats are a basic, one finds that rats are
only as dirty as their keepers allow them to be?
The gene profile of rats is very close to that of humans,
so that most drugs are given to them first
and humans only if the drug is safe there ( doesn't kill the rats).
So a movie about an intelligent rat is funny and
food may never be the same again?

This is a highly entertaining children's film. A bit scary in the beginning for super young kids. Got to say though struggled with the whole RAT thing. Never quite could wrap my head around that.

I have to say that this film really surprised me. What a great movie. It's got a great cast of characters that you can love, laugh at and in some cases hate. It's so well paced and written that you forget one of the lead characters happens to be a rat! It's inventive, interesting, funny, heartfelt and unique. Not since Nemo have I enjoyed an animated film so much that I immediately wanted to own it. If you are an animated film fan who loves a good story try this out. I think fans of Ice Age, and Finding Nemo and the Incredibles will really enjoy this film. It's just THAT good.

I had reservations about Pixar's ability to pull this one off.
All of Pixar's movies have had non human stars in them.
I approached this film with an open mind and I came away absolutely stunned at how good it was.
Another Pixar triumph!!!
The acting, script, animation, EVERYTHING is just so perfect.
Is Pixar run by some alien force that just "KNOWS" how to make the perfect movie???
Pixar has yet to make one dud of a movie.
Well.........I really didn't care for A Bugs Life that much. But that was just my taste.
Am I the only one or did Ratatouille make you hungry for Italian food too???
Another masterpiece from the company that can do (almost) no wrong.
