One key point: if you can get over the natural gag reflex of seeing hundreds of rodents swarming over a restaurant kitchen, you will be free to enjoy the glory of Ratatouille, a delectable Pixar hit. Our hero is Remy, a French rat (voiced by Patton Oswalt) with a cultivated palate, who rises from his humble beginnings to become head chef at a Paris restaurant. How this happens is the stuff of Pixar magic, that ineffable blend of headlong comedy, seamless technology, and wonder (in the latter department, this movie's views of nighttime Paris are on a par with French cinema at its most lyrical). Director Brad Bird (The Incredibles) doesn't quite keep all his spinning plates in the air, but the gags are great and the animation amazingly expressive--Remy's shrugs and nods are nimbler than many flesh-and-blood actors can manage. Refreshingly, the movie's characters aren't celebrity-reliant, with the most recognizable voice coming from Peter O'Toole's snide food critic. (This fellow provides the film's sole sour note--an oddly pointed slap at critics, those craven souls who have done nothing but rave about Pixar's movies over the years.) Brad Bird's style is more quick-hit and less resonant than the approach of Pixar honcho John Lasseter, but it's hard to complain about a movie that cooks up such bountiful pleasure. --Robert Horton

Rating:  - Ratatouille, a movie for the whole family.
My family enjoyed this movie so much. Great entertainmnet for adults and children alike. Lots of action and even a couple of "EEEYOU"s. One of my favorite Disney DVD's.
Rating:  - Genuinely fun for the larger people
With hundreds of reviews in place, is there any need for another one?
I'll leave that unanswered.
Instead let me say that I went to see Ratatouille with my daughters. They had a wonderful, fun time, and might possibly have learned something about French restaurants. And I had a completely reasonable time, laughed some, and generally enjoyed myself. The Pixar folks have a pretty good handle on making kids films that adults at least tolerate, and often appreciate. Isn't that ... Read More
Rating: - a silly movie
Very entertaining Pixar movie, just like most of the others. There were some great scenes. We loved the lightning scene on the roof.
Rating: - One of Disney's & Pixar's best yet
I've long been of two minds about Disney animated films -- they're often overwritten, sappy, and don't come even close to the fairy tales on which they claim to be based -- but this one is indeed very enjoyable, as shown by the Academy Award it won as best of the year. The story line is original, too: Remy is a French country boy with the makings of a great chef, but there's one big problem. He's a rat. Having found himself in Paris at the restaurant of his late hero, Chef Gusteau, Remy meets up with ... Read More
Rating: - My Second-Favorite Film of 2007
"Ratatouille" is a masterpiece, plain and simple. Not even the presence of the mouth-foaming half-wit Janeane Garofalo can spoil it, and that's saying something. But the addition of Blu-Ray to the home experience of "Ratatouille" can only enhance it, and does. I give this disc my highest recommendation.
