Pixar does it again

Rating: 9/10 (24 April 2008)

I have yet to see a movie done by the folks at Pixar that didn't make me laugh, smile, or even want to cry. This movie touches on all points and winds up with their typically surprising yet always satisfying ending. In a world where a rat can cook and understand English anything is possible, even impressing the stuffiest of critics. It's a silly concept really, and done by anyone else would be dismissible as just another kid's movie, but Ratatouille captures the heart and makes you care about every one of the characters. I am glad to see that the interaction between the rats and the humans didn't go beyond simply nodding but even that level of communication conveys exactly what each party is attempting to get across. An excellent movie that I'm sure I'll watch with my kids.
