Consensus: Pixar succeeds again with Ratatouille, a stunningly animated film with fast pacing, memorable characters, and overall good humor.
Theatrical Release:Jun 29, 2007 Wide
Box Office: $206,435,493
Synopsis: With astounding animation, inspirational messages, and endearing characters, Pixar Animation Studios (THE INCREDIBLES, CARS) and Walt Disney Pictures have whipped up something special with... [More]
Had Bird gone the safe route, he would have robbed us of a great new cartoon figure in Remy, who like the rest of the film is rendered with animation that is at once fanciful and life-like. It's also my pick for Pixar's best.
Top CriticFrom the moment Remy enters, crashing, to the final happy fadeout, Ratatouille parades the brio and depth that set Pixar apart from and above other animation studios.
Top CriticHow good, and how much fun, is Ratatouille? So good that when it was over, all I wanted to do was watch it again.
This is an animated movie that's been made for adults, although kids probably will enjoy it, too.
Top CriticRatatouille never overwhelms, even though it's stocked with action, romance, historical content, family drama and serious statements about the creation of art.
If a bit long for a cartoon feature -- probably a sign that its makers fell in love with it -- Ratatouille is the eighth and one of the best Pixar features.
Ratatouille might be that rare G-rated film that adults enjoy even more than children. In other words, some scenes cater to folks who prefer truffles over goldfish crackers.
A scrumptious and savory entrée, delivered with wit and aplomb. It is the most delicious offering yet from those wizards at Pixar.
At its core, Ratatouille is really the story of the artist and the creative impulse, of the artist's obligation to follow that impulse in the face of what friends, family, society may say.
It should be no surprise that the best American studio film of the year should come from the only American studio never to have made a bad film.
A film as rich as a sauce béarnaise, as refreshing as a raspberry sorbet, and a lot less predictable than the damn food metaphors and adjectives all us critics will churn out to describe it. OK, one more and then I'll be done: it's yummy.
Top CriticFresh family fun. Although there are those slightly noxious images of rodents scampering around a kitchen, the movie doesn't stoop to kid-pandering jokes based on back talk and bodily gases.
Top CriticDisplaying the usual meticulousness associated with the Pixar brand, Ratatouille is a nearly flawless piece of popular art.
Top CriticArguably the finest 'toon in the Pixar canon.
Top CriticThe Pixar magic continues with Brad Bird's Ratatouille, a gorgeous, wonderfully inventive computer-animated comedy.
Top CriticRatatouille is the most straightforward and formulaic picture to date from Pixar Animation Studios, but it is also among the most enchanting and touching.
The script, which doesn't play cheap or obvious to children or adults, and the film's fluid animation and luxurious palette make Ratatouille one of this summer's high-water marks for viewers of any age.
Ratatouille is not merely the smartest, funniest, most joyous, most lovingly crafted film of the summer thus far, but it ranks among Pixar's finest.
No sketchy backgrounds here -- Ratatouille's scenes feels like deep-focus camera shots. The textures, from the gleam of copper pans to the cobblestone streets, are almost palpable.
Top CriticWill Pixar ever make a bad movie? Ever?
