Pixar's animation still impresses,but story is somewhat drier.

Rating: 8/10 (10 August 2007)

While Pixar's animation continues to impress and get better with each passing film,this effort I find to be somewhat drier than previous films.The story is somewhat more adult oriented,as it speaks of death and romance,but this is not to say that it is a bad film in way.It isn't.Some of the elements are somewhat silly,such as a rat controlling a young chef's body motions by tugging his hair,but the overall story should be enjoyable enough to make you overlook this.Also,there is one aspect to this film that other Pixar outings do not have;more human characters.In the past it has been talking toys,monsters,insects,fish,and automobiles.Yes,you do have talking rodents here,but it is refreshing to see more humanity in a Pixar film.See it.You will at least like it if not love it.
