Great fun!

The rendering is absolutely awesome. When the rats move, especially the whole pack, you really get the feeling they are real. That being said, there are only a few instances where you're awed by the craftsmanship, because you forget about it during most of the movie - the story is compelling, the characters are great, and the feeling of the movie is distinctly French. This is not due to some fake accent, but because of the richly rendered surroundings, as well as the way the humans behave. Adults both young and young at heart will get a lot out of this movie, and I also think kids will like it as well.
Just try and resist your kid wanting to rush out and buy a pet rat: While they are very intelligent, clean, and sociable, real rats can't talk or cook. And this movie might let you forget about that :)
Very entertaining, lots of fun, good writing, and awesome technically, so go and enjoy!
