Ratatouille

Rating: 9/10 (12 April 2019)

A lovably shy rat with a great pallet trying to escape from his humble Parisian underground to reach excellence. Visually detailed (think food stirred in pots, matted fur). The lighting, score, and characters' humorous physical communication makes living with trash-eating street rats feel cozy. This is a refined piece of animated art, pleasurably free of most the worn out family movie cliches and needless discourse.
