top notch: A MUST SEE!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (11 July 2007)

I can't believe it, but it has happened...
Brad Bird has finally surpassed John Lasseter. This is by far the best of Pixar's films. After a slight let down in 2006 with a story about race cars,(although beautifully animated (as always)) - a poor subject matter choice for a good story, Pixar are back on track with this stunning animation. I didn't think the captivating storytelling that was Toy Story could be topped; but it has been done with this, the chef-d'oeuvre from Brad Bird.
The initial concept alone of a rat wanting to work in a restaurant as a cook is pure gold, and it only gets better. The Parisian world's artistic detail, subtle references, expert animation, charming characters, and wonderful story make this a definite must see for everyone.
Praise the almighty Pixar!
