    "Ratatouille" is a very smart and very beautiful movie that will have you laughing. You will leave hungry for food, and I mean real food because after seeing the fancy cuisine generated by Pixar Studios, that bucket of popcorn simply won't do. This animated film tells the story of a rat named Remy (voiced by Patton Oswalt) who dreams of becoming a great chef. Unfortunately he's a rat so not only does his family not believe in him, but whenever he's spotted in the kitchen, human beings go ballistic. Then, one day he meets up and befriends a garbage boy (Linguini, voiced by Lou Romano) working in a prestigious restaurant. Together, Remy and Linguini make an unbeatable team.

    There's of good stuff here. Great voice acting and character design as well as fully fleshed out humans and rats that actually have dreams and ambitions beyond what's obvious (Linguini for example, doesn't only want to be respected and have friends, he also wants to get the girl, get a decent job and get out of his tiny apartment) We have a love plot that makes sense and is a lot of fun to see unfold, some great comments about cooking and criticism overall (I really appreciated those) and a lot of subtle details that are fun to notice when you re-watch the film. In this viewing, I noticed that Linguini and Remy's nemesis, the food critic Anton Ego (Peter O'Toole) has a typewriter that is shaped like a skull and an office that's shaped like a coffin. A nice subtle little detail that made me laugh. Elements like that will be missed the first time you see this picture so there's some good re-watch value here. Best of all, it's another example of the superior writing and story-telling that you can expected from Pixar studios. It isn't predictable and is good for kids, but it's the adults that will really get a kick out of this, since they'll really understand what cooking is like and how funny It is to see a rat manipulate a man who can't cook into making delicious food. It's not only a good film about cooking and rising above the expectations that people put on you, it's a great film about all of that and a whole lot more. (On Blu-ray, December 20, 2012)
