Another Pixar Winner

Rating: 9/10 (17 June 2007)

I saw Ratatouille last night at a sneak preview. It was very entertaining. As to be expected with Pixar films, the animation was incredibly dense with amazing attention to detail -- particularly water -- but the script and story were also top-notch. Voice talent was great; Patton Oswalt is a funny guy and I can see him having a nice career in animation in addition to his stand-up. The nice cast surprise for me was Peter O'Toole as a food critic. He almost singlehandedly steals the show, but there's enough humor to go around. A fun, sweet movie.
I've enjoyed Brad Bird's other films, and Ratatouille is another feather in his cap.
