Kids are gonna gobble Ratatouille up; adults will relish its wit, and everyone will want to go out to eat after.
A lot of animated movies have inspired sequels, notably Shrek, but Brad Bird's Ratatouille is the first one that made me positively desire one.
Ratatouille is a veritable feast for the eye and the ear. Don't miss it.
In Ratatouille, the level of moment-by-moment craftsmanship is a wonder.
Would it be redundant - or too premature - to call 'Ratatouille' the best film of the year?
I think Brad Bird is working on another level than most animated writer/directors.
As classically as "Babe," "Ratatouille" turns animal-kingdom expectations on their ear for a unique, generous and gleeful gastronomic masterpiece that knows it's not much fun to look out, or cook, only for yourself.
It's a mélange of top notch production quality, great performances, amazing animation, and a universal story of friendship.
To borrow a line from the film, which includes an insightful look at the art of criticism: my compliments to the chef.
Ratatouille lacks the nutritional value of a truly satisfying meal. Only near the end does it serve up something meatier.
When is a rat a lark? When he's created by Brad Bird. Brad Bird, the animation maestro from Pixar, invents a spunky, gourmet rodent in the lively, spicy romp Ratatouille.
A long run time (110 minutes) plus sly humor might make for restless kiddos. But take them anyway. Pixar is brain power.
Ratatouille can expect to rake in the accolades.
Journey to the Center of the Broth
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
One of the few Pixar films which, for me, seemed more geared toward just kids, as opposed to their usual balance of kid/adult themes.
One might have wished for a hero type more acceptable in terms of food preparation. Otherwise, delicious.
Ratatouille is a film made for snobs that may still repel them.
