Most of the discussions of food come off like an animated Frasier episode, which shouldn't have broad enough appeal.

Ratatouille is a delicious, delightful stew of a film, a classical fairy tale told with the language of 21st-century technology

Brad Bird is still on top of his game... if you think you can't make your dreams come true, try being a rat who wants to cook in a five-star restaurant.

Not only funny, engaging and entertaining from beginning to end, but a picture which delivers an abundance of heartwarming messages.

Combining vivid characters with a fresh story, this is one of Pixar's best films yet.

A comedy that relates realistically to life, fashioned not with dozens of hilarious jokes but with due regard for proper storytelling.

Sure, you may not love rats. You may hate them. But you really do have to love Pixar.

Purveys huge charm, enough to make you fall in love with the rat species and enough, with its array of screen dishes, to make America forgive France, re-dub freedom fries as French fries, and fall sobbing on the country’s cordon bleu shoulders.
