In the new animated-adventure, Ratatouille, a rat named Remy dreams of becoming a great 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 city 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 unwanted visitor in the kitchen at one of Paris' most exclusive restaurants, Remy forms an unlikely partnership with Linguini, the garbage boy, who inadvertently discovers Remy's amazing talents. They strike a deal, ultimately setting into motion a hilarious and exciting chain of extraordinary events that turns the culinary world of Paris upside down.Remy finds himself torn between following his dreams or returning forever to his previous existence as a rat. He learns the truth about friendship, family and having no choice but to be who he really is, a rat who wants to be a chef.
I think that its impossible for Pixar to make bad movies. Think about it. Their track record is nothing short of phenomenal. Not to mention that all of their movies are the types of movies that the adults enjoy just as much - if not more than - the kids. I actually think that this one would be one of the ones that the adults like more. It struck me a lot like The Incredibles where I think that if a younger kid (4 - 6 years old) went to see it, that a lot of it would be over their heads. Not to mention that its nearly two hours long. Those two slight knocks being made and out of the way, I loved the movie. The characters were great and the animation of the rat scenes was amazing. The story was so well written that this is one of those animated movies that could end up being talk about as one of the best movies of the year.
I very strongly recommend everyone checking out this movie. Just be forewarned that if you have really little ones - they might get somewhat antsy as the movie goes on - but you will love it.
