Best picture

Rating: 10/10 (23 October 2007)

Not just best animation, best picture, period. Great voice acting, smart, funny script. Any objections to the movie are just quibbles. Remy is the most memorable character to come along in years. The best movie scripts develop the unique personalities of the individual characters, and Ratatouille does this, maybe better than any movie I have seen since Diner. Peter O'Toole doing Anton Ego's review -- it does not get any better. I doubt the AMPAS membership has the guts to put an animated feature up for Best Picture, but they found a reason to ignore Citizen Kane and Russell Crowe in LA Confidential, so that means zilch. Ratatouille is the best picture to come out of Hollywood this year.
