One of the best kid's animated movies I've seen

Rating: 9/10 (24 March 2020)

The first time I watched Ratatouille I was around 7-years-old. Luckily, i've watched this movie many times since. And now at 17-years-old I still enjoy this movie. The animation is really nice to look at. The characters are all great. The story is amazing and we get to follow Remy the rat's journey from living in an attic in a country house and sneaking into the kitchen to pursue his cooking passion and longing for something more, to ending up in a 5-star restaurant in Paris and getting to live out his dream, while simultaneously befriending Linguini and helping him go from a garbage boy living in an apartment to gaining rightful ownership of his father's 5-star restaurant. You get to see the battle Remy faces in which he has to juggle between following his dream of being a cook and being there for his family, which in the beginning, do not support his decision. You get to see all of the things that go on in the kitchen and Linguini and one of the cooks, Colette, become closer throughout the movie. Eventually, Remy's family supports Remy in his cooking dream and they all come together as a family and help Remy. One of my favorite scenes in the movie is towards the end when the food critic, Anton Ego, eats the Ratatouille and he is immediantly brought back to his childhood when he ate that dish served by his mother. And because of this, you see Anton Ego go from being rather cold to becoming more lighthearted. I found this scene to be powerful. Ultimately, the movie has a really good ending and I would give this movie a 9/10.
