Jay W "Ratatouille" is yet another great Pixar film. It is brought to us by director Brad Bird who has previously made "Iron Giant" and "The Incredibles" along with some Golden Age "Simpsons" stuff. Like all Pixar films of the time, it was a box office smash (making 623 million dollars) and a critical darling (winning best Animated Picture at the Oscars). But when I first saw the film, it didn't sit well with me. I didn't care for how it ended and consequently thought the whole thing was just OK. In subsequent viewings I have learned to like the film a lot more. I now see the ending in a different light and legitimately enjoy the movie. There are still some plot points that still bother me. Some conflicts feel artificial and the movie's double antagonist make the pacing lopsided. But enough of the negatives, onto the many things that make the film great. The music, animation and voice acting are all top notch. The premise of the rat who wants to become a gourmet chef is very unique and the film capitalizes on the clever idea. And we have this film to thank for both "Ratatoing" and "RaccoonTouille".

Through the use of the cook Gusteau (that the rat imagines), the movie provides a lot of food for thought. The Rat, Remy, is obviously going through an existential struggle - trying to be with his family whilst living his dream as a cook. Gusteau gives the needed insights (and frequently warns Remy of doing something stupid) to develop into a version of himself that ultimately grows into his dream. First, Remy chooses to stay with Alfredo Linguini, the garbage boy that saves his life, because it is the right thing to do. Remy struggles both with the relationship with Linguini and with his family, Remys life crashes into pieces, but his family still supports him. Ultimately, with the help from his family, he takes control of the situation and comes to terms with everyone. A wonderful story about the importance of family as long-term relationships (even if they are no easy relationships), and passion (for food)! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/01/24 Full Review rural M "Ratatouille" is a delightful animated film that captures the essence of the art of cooking with an interesting story and plenty of funny moments. The movie takes viewers on a culinary journey that will leave you craving gourmet dishes.

In addition to its light-hearted moments, "Ratatouille" also tugs at the heartstrings with some touching and sad moments that add depth to the story. Just when you think you know where the plot is going, the movie surprises you with a clever plot twist that keeps you engaged until the very end. Overall, "Ratatouille" is a charming and heartwarming film that celebrates the joy of cooking and the importance of following your dreams.
