This is a film about a rat who becomes a chef in Paris. But it’s so much more than that. It’s about what a great artist can be, where a great artist can come from, it’s about food and how to savour it.

Ratatouille is a wonderful, wistful comedy, and a sparkling return to form for the computer animation studio Pixar after last year’s lacklustre Cars.

A comedy that relates realistically to life, fashioned not with dozens of hilarious jokes but with due regard for proper storytelling.

Clever, certainly; ingenious, occasionally; enjoyable – hardly ever.

Ratatouille puts the “anyone can cook” motto to the test and while it’s an absurd premise, this film is absolutely beautiful in every way.

It doesn’t have a flaw; it’s perfect storytelling and its emotional payoff is a landmark.

Despite the unexplained language barriers or farfetched plot, this delightfully delicious foray into the unimaginable never becomes preachy or immature.

Has great vocal performances throughout and is about a character figuring out where they belong and finally being accepted there. I love it!

Plot
A rat named Remy dreams of becoming a great French chef despite his family’s wishes and the obvious problem of being a rat in a decidedly rodent-phobic profession. When fate places Remy in the sewers of Paris, he finds himself ideally situated beneath a restaurant made famous by his culinary hero, Auguste Gusteau. Despite the apparent dangers of being an unlikely, and certainly unwanted, visitor in the kitchen of a fine French restaurant, Remy’s passion for cooking soon sets into motion a hilarious and exciting rat race that turns the culinary world of Paris upside down.
