Perhaps Pixar's Best, by StevieB.
By , July 6, 2007
I went to this film expecting to be entertained. The Pixar crew rarely disappoints, although I was a tad underwhelmed by Cars.
This is not the case with Ratatouille. This film has some of the most gorgeous modeling to date. The water sequence at the beginning uses all the tricks in their book. The characters are well developed. It switches point of view from Rat's eye to Human persective beautifully. The physical comedy is by far the best yet to come out of Pixar's studios and is so fluid and flawless.
Having worked in the restaurant industry, I tip my hat to the amount of research that obviously went in to this film. The excitement and a passion for food are at the heart of this film and they certainly did their due diligence.
All praise for the technical aspects of this film aside, it is charming and at times outright, belly laugh, hilarious. There are no scary aspects or violent moments to distract from the humor. The "villains" never put anyone's well being at risk and are broadly lampooned for their egotism and greed.
This film is a winner from beginning to end and possibly the finest family entertainment of the summer.
