One key point: if you can get over the natural gag reflex of seeing hundreds of rodents swarming over a restaurant kitchen, you will be free to enjoy the glory of Ratatouille, a delectable Pixar hit. Our hero is Remy, a French rat (voiced by Patton Oswalt) with a cultivated palate, who rises from his humble beginnings to become head chef at a Paris restaurant. How this happens is the stuff of Pixar magic, that ineffable blend of headlong comedy, seamless technology, and wonder (in the latter department, this movie's views of nighttime Paris are on a par with French cinema at its most lyrical). Director Brad Bird (The Incredibles) doesn't quite keep all his spinning plates in the air, but the gags are great and the animation amazingly expressive--Remy's shrugs and nods are nimbler than many flesh-and-blood actors can manage. Refreshingly, the movie's characters aren't celebrity-reliant, with the most recognizable voice coming from Peter O'Toole's snide food critic. (This fellow provides the film's sole sour note--an oddly pointed slap at critics, those craven souls who have done nothing but rave about Pixar's movies over the years.) Brad Bird's style is more quick-hit and less resonant than the approach of Pixar honcho John Lasseter, but it's hard to complain about a movie that cooks up such bountiful pleasure. --Robert Horton

(4 stars) - Hail French Cooking!
I purchased this one for a California artist friend who just returned from sabatical in France. While there, she was told that she had a "French nose." It seems that what she'd grown so used to seeing in the mirror had a talent! A means to detect the unique, the illusive, the earnestly sought after! Odors, well-acclaimed in French culinary circles! Crazy! I told her that the mouse in this movie had one too, suggesting she watch him brew up hilarity when her day started out dark and dreary. And to create! Soup! Enough soup to fill the house with glorious smells!

(5 stars) - excellent
Ratatouille is a wonderful movie for the entire family. Each time we have watched it we have noticed subtle nuances ... the shape of Anton Ego's office, look at the back face of his typewriter and what do you see? Really, any one can cook it is the passion for the cuisine. A wholesome, positive and enjoyable film for everyone.

(5 stars) - Great movie for young and "old-er"
My husband and I are both 68 years old, and watched this at the encouragment of our brother-in-law who is in his late 70's. Glad we did. It is so fresh and well scripted, well animated, well everything! We bought the DVD to have on hand for our grandchildren (ha ha) but have watched it 2 or more times ourselves....which is rare for a hubby that doesn't watch anything twice. (I take that back, he watched "Sleepless in Seatle" 3 times.) I on the other hand, watch until I know all the "lines".

(5 stars) - Great Movie
I love Ratatouille. I seen this countless times and still enjoy it. Wonderful movie for kids and family.
