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

Customer Reviews

Great Movie!
This is a great movie, very good story line and excellent on Blu-Ray. The video looks great on the Blu-Ray player.

Don't judge the Frenchman by his nose
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?

Really well made
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.
