Summary: Ratatouille, a movie for the whole family.
Comment: My family enjoyed this movie so much. Great entertainmnet for adults and children alike. Lots of action and even a couple of "EEEYOU"s. One of my favorite Disney DVD's.

Summary: Genuinely fun for the larger people
Comment: With hundreds of reviews in place, is there any need for another one?
I'll leave that unanswered.
Instead let me say that I went to see Ratatouille with my daughters. They had a wonderful, fun time, and might possibly have learned something about French restaurants. And I had a completely reasonable time, laughed some, and generally enjoyed myself. The Pixar folks have a pretty good handle on making kids films that adults at least tolerate, and often appreciate. Isn't that the definition of a family film?

Summary: a silly movie
Comment: Very entertaining Pixar movie, just like most of the others. There were some great scenes. We loved the lightning scene on the roof.

Summary: One of Disney's & Pixar's best yet
Comment: I've long been of two minds about Disney animated films -- they're often overwritten, sappy, and don't come even close to the fairy tales on which they claim to be based -- but this one is indeed very enjoyable, as shown by the Academy Award it won as best of the year. The story line is original, too: Remy is a French country boy with the makings of a great chef, but there's one big problem. He's a rat. Having found himself in Paris at the restaurant of his late hero, Chef Gusteau, Remy meets up with Linguini, the restaurant's new scullery lad, who has zero cooking talent. But by combining the rat's genius in the kitchen with the young man's human-ness (and his ability to be puppet-controlled by having his hair judiciously yanked beneath his toque), they set Paris on its ear and attract the attention of the city's greatest food critic, Anton Ego (the voice of Peter O'Toole). The characterizations are terrific, the dialogue is fun (especially Lou Romano as Linguini), and the humor is generally subtle. And, like nearly all successful "kid's films," it also has a lot for adults; my six-year-old granddaughter and I both enjoyed it.

Summary: My Second-Favorite Film of 2007
Comment: "Ratatouille" is a masterpiece, plain and simple. Not even the presence of the mouth-foaming half-wit Janeane Garofalo can spoil it, and that's saying something. But the addition of Blu-Ray to the home experience of "Ratatouille" can only enhance it, and does. I give this disc my highest recommendation.
