A very sweet film with very cute rats!

Rating: 8/10 (19 January 2008)

If you have ever said that rats are cute but no-one believes you, this animated CGI film may just be able to prove your point! With a weird, topsy-turvy plot with good Pixar quality, this film is sure to delight! Even though the adventure and dare may overdo itself, the characters and theme thankfully do not. The theme is cooking and it will not be a surprise that you will want to eat/cook just after you have viewed this motion picture! Also like all Pixar films, this has good quality CGI, the water and Paris sequences are definitely something to admire. So even if you are becoming bored of CGI, this film WILL NOT make you even more bored!
Remy is a rat in France with an unusual dream: to cook. He is originally starting out life testing food for rat poisoning, but of course he is becoming bored. When a crazy old woman chases him and his rat family (which is a huge number of rats) out of her home, Remy loses his way and ends up lost in the sewers. There, he resolves to follow his dream and finding the famous "Gustseau's Restaurant" and is determined to start cooking. Remy also meets the amateur chef Linguini...
The only downside to this film is that the plot is a little anxious and hectic. Luckily, like medicine, the cute rats and goodies make it better! :-)
Enjoy "Ratatouille"! :-)
