For an animation nut like myself, Ratatouille is a marvel to behold. The story is wonderfully thought out, the performances pitch perfect, and the humor delightful. And for everyone else, the film simply entertains with an unexpected and satisfying finish. Even if you don't care about the lessons, you will no doubt be wowed by the quality of the animation and the lighthearted story about love, friendship, and food. After the movie, I bet you can't wait to rush home and find a recipe for ratatouille — I did.

Sounds dreadful. What a sad misuse of the name of an excellent dish, for no good reason.

Oh my, this movie tickled the essence of my humour, it had me doubled over in laughter as i pondered just how this common house pest can have such a disastrously comedic influence on a talent lacking chef. How amazingly it captured my imagination as it engrossed me in this fantastical world of fictional genius.
