  1. Its sense of humor is more sly, more sophisticated and more interesting than most PG-13 or R-rated comedies at the moment. The film may be animated, and largely taken up with rats, but its pulse is gratifyingly human.
  2. 100
    This is clearly one of the best of the year's films. Every time an animated film is successful, you have to read all over again about how animation isn't "just for children" but "for the whole family," and "even for adults going on their own." No kidding!
  3. Brad Bird and Pixar recapture the charm and winning imagination of classic Disney animation.

  1. "Ratatouille" is a movie created for only the Westerners and ends up appealing to both western and eastern people.

    Seeing the critics' rave reviews, I had very high expectations of this film. Suffice it to say I got so bored I had to stop half way through watching it. No laughs for 50' is also not a good sign for a so called animated comedy. Everything seemd fake about the characters, including the French accent which is done so poorly. Expand

    This movie proves that Disney/Pixar can't take an original idea, keep it simple, and let it shine. The film that could have been a charming story and a visual treat sinks under the weight of fairy-tale plotting, an unnecessary morality tale about the strength of family, and worst of all, Disney's archaic racial sterotyping and general xenophobia. For a company that is so constantly hearlded for it's originality, Pixar still hasn't made a film that is free from all of the qualities that make most family entertainment unbearably dull. Expand
