Rat Movie Halfway Decent; Not Better

Rating: 6/10 (7 July 2007)

Rating this movie #44 in the all time best movie list is just plain silly; and adds to the suspicion that the integrity of the IMDb website is compromised by studio meddling (which IMDb can't prevent.) This picture was much better than CARS, but it's a high-mediocre film at best. Most of the characterizations, humor, etc offer nothing very original or new. We enjoyed this picture -- make no mistake -- but while Pixar offers the best of current day animation the overall quality of storytelling doesn't hold a candle to the work of Walt Disney.
Hollywood stacks the deck in bragging about recent hits. It makes no sense to compare the box office of an era when adult tickets are $11; children $7.50 to such classics as SNOW WHITE which sold millions of tickets at 50 cents for adults and 25 cents for children. SNOW WHITE lasted 68 years so far, and isn't dead yet. Pixar's rat flick won't even be a memory by 2010.
