4.5 stars....will entertain for years to come, Nov. 20 2007
There are movies and there are great movies that will become classics over
time, and i think Ratatouille has enough ingredients to become one.
Very nicely animated, good characters, a very good story and the right
pulls on our emotional strings this movie comes out a winner. And even
better, its good for everyone.
And from the word of mouth, the second view retains the magic and is as
good as the first time.
Classic.

Delicious movie for children and adults alike, Sep 27 2007
If you love quality films and think Pixar is leading the industry in innovation and storytelling, you owe it to yourself to see "Ratatouille." Pixar will only maintain creative control over its product so long as they are earning money for Disney. Unlike its predecessors Cars, The Incredibles, Finding Nemo, and Monsters, Inc., Ratatouille failed to earn even $50 million in its opening weekend. A lot of money, yes, but not a good sign for the investors.
Money aside, Pixar has proved once again that they can do what no one else can: create fully realized CG worlds that are only secondary to the story being told. The CG here is simply marvelous. Paris comes to life, the food is so realistic you want to reach out and eat it, and the rats move with a delicate grace that is at the same time cartoonish and believable. But what truly sets Pixar apart from every other animation studio is that they can walk that line between animated reality and cartoon absurdity. The key, here, is the people that inhabit the worlds they've created. They don't look remotely realistic. They look, in fact, much like the humans in The Incredibles. Overlarge heads, exaggerated limbs, and a fluidity of movement that can only be recreated in a movie. Unlike Shrek, or Ice Age, or any other CG movie, Ratatouille allows it's humans be to be cartoons, but they surround them with the most realistic world imaginable. This effect isn't disconcerting, it frees the viewer to sit back and simply absorb everything.
Like their previous efforts, the story is everything. Remy is a rat who loves to cook and he befriends a young man who can't cook, but works in the kitchen of a famous restaurant. The story is both hilarious and exciting. It never falls into melodramatic traps, and the characters act in believable ways - they don't simply do what the writers think they should do to advance the plot to a happy conclusion.
In short, this is not a formulaic film. It balances ingenuity, wit, and skill, and produces one of the finest films in it's category. I don't know if this is the best Pixar film yet, but it's at least the equal of Finding Nemo, Monsters, Inc, Toy Story, and The Incredibles. In fifty years, we'll all be looking back on Pixar as the finest example of a creative force in Hollywood. Let's hope Disney allows them to continue making films their way.
At the end of the day, the family and I have no problem with "Ratatouille". And I can find fault with just about every movie I see.

Rat's in the kitchen (to the tune of Cats in the Cradle by Harry Chapin - first verse and chorus), Sep 16 2007
A rat resided in a colony
His keen sense of smell was an anomaly
But there were cooking channels on French TV
He learned to cook from a recipe
And he was cooking before he knew it, and as he grew
He said, "I'm not gonna be like you, Dad,
"I'm just not gonna be like you."
And the rat's in the kitchen with the cooking spoon
Chef Gusteau by the light of the moon
When you comin' home, son, I don't know when,
But we'll get together then,
You know we'll have a good time then
Okay, that's how it all begins - Rémy is a rat with gourmet tastes who lives with his extended family of gourmands in the French countryside. His family utilizes him as a poison sniffer, but his great ambition is to be like his hero, Chef Gusteau. One day, in a sequence reminiscent of "Finding Nemo" and "Flushed Away", he finds himself at the restaurant founded by the now deceased Chef Gusteau, which is being run by the former sous-chef.
Alfredo Linguini is the newly hired garbage boy, and as soon as he starts to work he manages to find himself in the soup. He hastily tries to cover his mistake, and is saved by the rat, who is in turn in need of being saved. The two soon form an alliance, and with a little bit of tugging and pulling, the boy starts cooking fabulous dishes while the rat buzzes like a bee in the bonnet.
Sous-chef Skinner has big plans for the future, but when documents come to light that put a freeze on his ambition, he hatches a plot to have the restaurant shut down. At the same time, Anton Ego, the notoriously picky food critic, learns of the new and improved cuisine, and descends upon the little restaurant with the intention of decreasing its already diminished star rating.
What follows are scenes not for the weak of stomach, and it may not be advisable to choose this for your romantic Saturday night "dinner and a movie", at least not if you're planning to have French cuisine (or Chinese take out for that matter).
The animation and scenery are amazing as usual, but the movie has no catchy songs and somehow didn't keep my son's attention for as long as I had hoped. I enjoyed it for the most part, but I think this one is more suited to older children and adults..
