Ah, but that is no match for wishful thinking. If you focus on what you left behind. You will never be able to see what lies ahead. Now go up and look around.

I, of course, will be biased in my review of this film. As a food lover, I can relate well to Remy and his search for food that explodes in your mouth with taste.
Brad Bird and Jan Pinkava have created one of the funniest movies I have seen - and it stars a rat! How anyone can make a rat appealing is beyond me, but they have done it. The story flows as if it starred real humans, but the fact that it is animated makes it even more appealing.
It has constant humor amidst the deviousness of the chef. Along with that, we get a very positive message about challenging ourselves to keep pushing the envelope.
It is not just a cartoon for kiddies, but an enjoyable film for all ages. It should definitely have a sequel.
