Ratatouille - 8 stars out of 10

Ratatouille - 8 stars out of 10

"Ratatouille" is definitely up there with Finding Nemo.  The story was cute, characters enchanting, and the rats were just so much fun!  Even though the story is entirely unrealistic, it doesn't matter when paired with amazing animation, a fantastic soundtrack by Michael Giacchino, and virtual food that looks good enough to eat!  I am always impressed when writers can create a script that develops non-human characters, and this script is particularly impressive because the main non-human character rarely has dialogue.  So many movies seem plain because their plot has been overdone but nobody can say that about Ratatouille.  It combines the recent obsession with Food TV with loveable Pixar characters to create a film that does not need any sequels to make an impact - it's the complete package.  This movie is definitely family friendly and I doubt that anybody could walk out of the theater without a smile.
