Ratatouille - Movie Review

Rating: 8/10 (7 May 2020)

It's fair to say that Ratatouille is not amongst my top Pixar films, but it's still a wonderfully enjoyable film and that just goes to show how phenomenal Pixar's rÃ©sumÃ© is.
The story is about two people who come together and help to provide benefits to each other's life. This is something that we have seen before from Pixar, the best example being Marlin and Dory in Finding Nemo. However, that didn't make the relationship between Linguini and Remy any less impactful.
I completely loved the dynamic between them, and the film also boasts some extremely deep themes. The story was beautiful, and the visuals were also stunning. At the heart of Ratatouille, it's about someone who feels that they don't belong in the world they've grown up in and set out to follow their dreams. On that level, it's truly fantastic.
Unfortunately, there were a couple of elements which took me out of the film because they became a little too unbelievable. I also felt that the film lost a lot of it's steam after the masterfully crafted first act. The second and third act were still very good, but not quite as good as the first.
Overall, although I have a couple of issues with Ratatouille, it's still an incredible achievement from Pixar and it's one which I wouldn't mind revisiting soon.
