Ratatouille

Date September 21, 2007

Ratatouille

Ratatouille(n) : A vegetable stew usually made with tomatoes, eggplant, zucchini, peppers, onion, and seasonings.

Once you get its meaning, you’d probably wonder why Pixar has kept this strange name of a dish as the movie title. It is because the movie is about a rat, Remy who dreams of becoming a chef in Paris against his parents wishes. This would seem really difficult for a rat, of all creatures, but luck favors Remi when he befriends Linguini.

Linguini is a boy who wants to keep his job in the French restaurant that Remy wants to work in despite his lack of culinary skills. One thing leads to another and Linguini with the help of Remy begins preparing gourmet food that takes everyone by surprise. Whether they manage to pull it off forms the rest of the story.

Casting Patton Oswalt as Remy and Lou Romano as Linguini has been outstanding. The animation is top notch and there is a sewer scene where you are made to feel you are actually inside a sewer in France. The story line is great as well. No wonder this has made it to the Top 100 of the Top 250 movies in IMDB.

In short, Brad Bird has given us a masterpiece once again after Incredibles. A highly recommended movie that should be watched in the theater.

By the way, it would do a lot good to get to the theater on time as you would not want to miss the short animation movie ‘Lifted’ that is shown before the main movie just the way it is usually done in all Pixar movies.
