Excellent animation

Rating: Null/10 (18 October 2007)

This film is about a culinary rat who befriends a young man, and displays his cooking skills in a fine Parisian restaurant.
After watching this highly anticipated film, I can only say that the positive word of mouth is highly justified. The characters are lovely and cute, and they are all unique in their own way. The main character the culinary rat, is dedicated and determined. He develops an unlikely friendship with Linguini, who works at a restaurant but is clueless about cooking. The adventures they have together is exciting and engaging. The animation is excellent, everything is realistic and attractive. It is such a joy to see hundreds of rats cooking, which is a scene that could otherwise be unpleasant. The major theme of being able to succeed if you are dedicated and hard working is inspiring and encouraging. "Ratatouille" is a gem that mixes entertainment and positive encouragement. It makes me happy, satisfied and fulfilled.
