an animated film with a good story

Rating: 7/10 (21 April 2008)

This was one of the better animated films of the past several years. Both adults and kids would like it. Remy the rat gets separated from his colony and ends up at restaurant Gusteau. Remy is no ordinary rat. He loves to cook and is excellent at it. A new employee there, Linguini, sees Remy added herbs to the soup and to his surprise and all the other cooks, it is very good. No one else notices Remy though, so Linguini gets all the credit. Only problem is Linguini really can't cook. The owner, Skinner, discovers that Linguini is really Gusteau's long lost son. That means Linguini could still inherit the restaurant. Customers begin asking for Linguini's special dishes, which are created by Remy. They strike up a partnership. Remy controls Linguini's arms with his hair. I know, that sounds really weird. Any way, its up to them to impress the harshest food critic of all and to find out about Linguini's father. Plus, Remy finds his family again, but can he leave the restaurant business behind for them.
FINAL VERDICT: Very entertaining story with great animation. It had more substance than a lot of animated films.
