Movie Review: Ratatouille

Ratatouille: Hopefully that's the correct spelling.

Well, to say this movie was remarkable is seriously, an understatement. After a long, LONG time, the Pixar/Disney Combo has finally managed to astonish me. After the past years disasters (a.k.a shortcut to cash @ Box Office) like 'The Incredibles' and 'Cars', and of course, the pits of the lot; ‘Robots’, Ratatouille not only compensates for them, it actually makes Pixar seem like a studio which doesn't always make movies meant for 12 yr old kids with raging hard ons. A bad point, while I'm at this. There wasn't even a single good French accent throughout the entire movie. Sad, considering that the rest of the details in the movie are much above average.

Ratatouille is a very light hearted tale about a Rat with an impeccable sense of flavor and smell. Inspired by a leading French cook, this rat seeks about a career in cooking himself. As always, Pixar comes out with breath-takingly unique animation and Disney with its perfect sense of slapstick comedy timing, making this movie a must watch for all Kids and Adults.

Also, the role of 'Anton Ego', played by Peter O’Toole, definitely deserves an Oscar. In fact, the scene in which Ego samples Remy’s ratatouille is the single most unsurpassed moment in any of the Pixar films I’ve ever seen.

Final Review:-

Acting - 8/10

Story – 9.75/10

‘Feel’ Factor – 8/10

Watch this one! Please!

P.S ~ Don’t watch ‘Welcome’.
