Ratatouille

Description

From the creators of CARS and THE INCREDIBLES comes a
break-through comedy with something for everyone. With delightful new
characters, experience Paris from an all-new perspective. It’s “terrific movie
making” raves Leonard Maltin of ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT. In one of Paris’ finest
restaurants, Remy, a determined young rat, dreams of becoming a renowned
French chef. Torn between his family’s wishes and his true calling, Remy and
his pal Linguini set in motion a hilarious chain of events that turns the City
of Lights upside down. RATATOUILLE is a treat you’ll want to enjoy again and
again. One key point: if you can get over the natural gag reflex of
seeing hundreds of rodents swarming over a restaurant kitchen, you will be
free to enjoy the glory of Ratatouille, a delectable Pixar hit. Our hero is
Remy, a French rat (voiced by Patton Oswalt) with a cultivated palate, who
rises from his humble beginnings to become head chef at a Paris restaurant.
How this happens is the stuff of Pixar magic, that ineffable blend of headlong
comedy, seamless technology, and wonder (in the latter department, this
movie’s views of nighttime Paris are on a par with French cinema at its most
lyrical). Director Brad Bird (The Incredibles) doesn’t quite keep all his
spinning plates in the air, but the gags are great and the animation amazingly
expressive–Remy’s shrugs and nods are nimbler than many flesh-and-blood
actors can manage. Refreshingly, the movie’s characters aren’t celebrity-
reliant, with the most recognizable voice coming from Peter O’Toole’s snide
food critic. (This fellow provides the film’s sole sour note–an oddly pointed
slap at critics, those craven souls who have done nothing but rave about
Pixar’s movies over the years.) Brad Bird’s style is more quick-hit and less
resonant than the approach of Pixar honcho John Lasseter, but it’s hard to
complain about a movie that cooks up such bountiful pleasure. –Robert Horton
