Close to totally perfect!

Rating: 10/10 (25 January 2013)

This is one of these movies that gets better after each tasting, like a good wine.
It is really hard to find anything to complain about - well paced, well animated, well edited, almost realistic, and a lovely story altogether! One of the better Pixar films, no doubt about that!
It really grows on you, for each viewing. The main character, Linguini, whose first name seems to not exist, is maybe a little over the top, but very likable anyway.
Like a classic drama it contains villains, and heroes, but none is totally good, or totally bad. And the good guy wins, in a grand way!
Nothing to dislike, except, maybe, a slight editing would have increased the pace a bit, like the rats's cooking scene, that uses the same sequence, twice! Noy a big issue, anyway!
Sound, and voices, are perfect, in my book, as is lighting, and not least the animation, is just 100% perfect!
