Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

"Ratatouille" (2007) is a professionally produced animated adventure comedy about a rat named Remy, voiced by Patton Oswalt, who has an uncanny ability to cook and an aspiration to become Paris' top Chef. Remy, through coincidence and direction from the spirit of famous Chef Gusteau, voiced by Brad Garrett, meets Linguini, voiced by Lou Romano, and forms an alliance between rat and human. I have watched this film several times now and every time I get this warm feeling in my heart. This animation provides a very real sense that there is an ability to separate the differences between entities to share commonalities. The story is very strong and realistic. In the film, the scenario is applied to a despised animal and a human, but the same scenario can be applied to the race, gender and sexual orientation that plague the world today. The vocal acting compared to the visuals is spot on. I never felt like anything was out of place. I commend directors Brad Bird and Jan Pinkava for bringing this work to life and delivering such a powerful message through, what most people consider, a "kids movie." I love this film and recommend to everyone to watch at least twice.

Ratatouille proves yet again how Brad Bird manages to breathe fresh air into something we have seen many times before while he at the same time offers a realistic look into a new corner of the world which in this case is the cooking business. You can tell his distinctive style by the look of the characters in the movie. Their sometimes exaggerated features make them all unique to look at. Most impressive is the giant colony of rats. As I said the story is something we have seen many times before with a nobody becoming a somebody while still struggling with his heritage which is the case for Rémy who is a rat who likes to cook. Linguini is a clumsy young man with no talent for cooking at all, but he grows with the help of Rémy. The execution breathes fresh air into it by how they work together which is not just hilariously entertaing, but also very creative. Every voice actor is doing a phenomenal job, the animation is lush and the message the movie conveys is inspiring. It is another incredible achievement for Brad Bird and Pixar.

I love this movie, the animations are great, the plot is great, the characters involve the audience. The story is somebody who starts out eating nothing but garbage out of garbage cans off the street, and lives in the streets. Pretty soon he works his way up, and before you know it by the end of the movie he has his own restaurant and his own place, and redefines his whole races image in a great way.

I've watched this movie a million times and it never fails to make me happy!! It's such a cute movie I don't know how anyone could write a negative review about it. Makes me warm and fuzzy inside, want to travel to Paris and fall in love haha. I even tried making ratatouille after watching this movie (it didn't turn out that good).
