Good concept, poorly executed.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Ratatouille proves yet again how Brad Bird manages to breathe fresh air into something we have seen many times before while he at the same time offers a realistic look into a new corner of the world which in this case is the cooking business. You can tell his distinctive style by the look of the characters in the movie. Their sometimes exaggerated features make them all unique to look at. Most impressive is the giant colony of rats. As I said the story is something we have seen many times before with a nobody becoming a somebody while still struggling with his heritage which is the case for Rémy who is a rat who likes to cook. Linguini is a clumsy young man with no talent for cooking at all, but he grows with the help of Rémy. The execution breathes fresh air into it by how they work together which is not just hilariously entertaing, but also very creative. Every voice actor is doing a phenomenal job, the animation is lush and the message the movie conveys is inspiring. It is another incredible achievement for Brad Bird and Pixar.

I don't remember my first reaction to this film, but it looked interesting enough. The city of Paris, an ambitious young rodent, a cooking profession, and a large family attempting to survive. How's that for a neat combination? Well, it worked. Some might be put off by the rodent themes, but it's a nice little film by the good folks at Pixar. This has to be one of my favorite Pixar films, along with Toy Story and The Incredibles. It's about following your dreams and making the most of yourself against all odds.

I love this movie, the animations are great, the plot is great, the characters involve the audience. The story is somebody who starts out eating nothing but garbage out of garbage cans off the street, and lives in the streets. Pretty soon he works his way up, and before you know it by the end of the movie he has his own restaurant and his own place, and redefines his whole races image in a great way.

This film (along with Monsters Inc and toy story 2) occupies a special place in the Pixar filmography for me. I find these three films the equal of any of Ghibli's masterpieces. Superbly paced with a great central character, an outstanding villain and a sophisticated script, it's hard to find anyone finding fault with it. And it's also arguably the greatest 'food' movie ever made. Not to mention one of the finest depictions of an artist on screen.One of the all time great movies.10/10
