It's always been Pixar's boast that it keeps its computers in their place -- at the service of the story -- and with Ratatouille, it has proved it yet again.

Reviews for Ratatouille
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.

Top CriticEvery delicious situation is finger-licking good as the shy, clumsy Linguini becomes Remy's puppet, the rat-puppeteer holding onto large tufts of the novice-chef's hair and tugging them decisively, manipulating his every move.
08/30/07
Would that these culinary rats could have put a little spice into "No Reservations"! Ratatouille is an animated love letter to the art of fine cuisine, creating it, enjoying it, and even critiquing it. It's almost too mature in its devotion to its subject
08/09/07
An engaging enough premise, but does not really have a good story to tell. It pulls in too many directions.
08/07/07
A sheer masterpiece. Sustains tension throughout between disgust and affection for the most repulsive of animals.
08/03/07
I would have loved to have been present during the pitch meeting for "Ratatouille." "It's, um, a little bit 'Willard,' a little bit 'Like Water for Chocolate'"!...The greatest rat movie and the greatest food movie ever made.
07/31/07
With some terrific comedy and action sequences, an entertaining story, and engaging characters, the result is a sumptuous offering that both kids and adults alike will probably devour with hearty abandon
07/31/07
... while Bird’s great wit and impressively wide-ranging imagination are again on tap in Ratatouille, I found it hard to suspend my disbelief ...
07/30/07
One of these days, Pixar is going to release a stinker. But that day isn't today.
07/29/07
"Ratatouille" may just be the most fully expressed animated family movie to come around since "101 Dalmatians" (1961).
07/26/07
Part of the surprise of Ratatouille is the unexpected way in which it unfolds. Brad Bird's script has some of the expected dramatic turns but it also holds a number of surprises.
07/21/07
Ratatouille is a veritable feast for the eye and the ear. Don’t miss it.
07/18/07
Top CriticBut how would the rat match up against Iron Chef Morimoto?
07/16/07
In Ratatouille, the level of moment-by-moment craftsmanship is a wonder.
07/16/07
Top CriticUn entretenimento de primer nivel, con extraordinaria animación pero sobre todo con entrañables personajes y una historia original, divertida y hasta raramente emotiva.
07/15/07
Ratatouille has imaginative animation, creative characters, but the use of a gray rat and his garbage-eating family is questionable.
07/14/07
Would it be redundant - or too premature - to call 'Ratatouille' the best film of the year?
07/12/07
There are some ingredients that could have been left on the shelf, but overall, it's a treat for any taste.
07/09/07
It’s getting a bit anticlimactic to announce that Pixar Films has another animated winner in theaters.
