Ratatouille Review

I first saw this movie on a standard DVD over at my friend's home who has a 7 year old kid and I liked it. When I purchased it on blu ray 4 weeks later, I loved it. The audio & picture is simply amazing, a giant leap from standard DVD to blu ray. I love the movie even more now. When it comes to both audio & picture quality, this blu ray is simply one of the best in the market, in my opinion. Hope you enjoy it, too !!!

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

NOTHING SERIOUS...JUST ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES EVER MADE. THERE ARE LEVELS TO IT THAT GO FROM KIDS TO PROFESSIONAL CHEFS.
TO MAKE A RAT IN A RESTAURANT A LOVABLE CONCEPT IS GENUS IN ITSELF, AN ON TOP OF THAT IT IS AN EXCEPTIONAL MOVIE. I HAVE SEEN IT 8 TIMES AND WOULD WATCH IT AGAIN TOMORROW. KNOW PEOPLE WHO HAVE SEEN IT 12 AND MORE TIMES. AND WE ARE TALKING ABOUT EDUCATED CREATIVE VIEWERS HERE.

Another Pixar hit! - heyjude09 - Iowa
The greatest part of getting older is becoming a grandma! If this hadn't happened I never would have gotten to watch the Pixar movies and what could be better than watching them with a kid you love?
IMHO, "Ratatouille" is just another Pixar masterpiece. I would buy one without seeing any previews or knowing anything about the movie. That's just how much I have enjoyed everything they have created.
