Ratatouille










"Good food is like music you can taste, color you can smell. There is excellence all around you. You need only to be aware to stop and savor it." -Auguste Gusteau

So if someone told you a story about a rat, fascinated with the culinary arts, who cooks up the finest food in France by controlling a clueless human being, how would you respond? I say if anyone could make it work, Pixar can. And they do! Ratatouille is by far among the finest they have to offer, which is saying quite a lot.

The animation alone is on a whole new level of brilliance. You can almost smell and taste the food. But I believe Pixar's greatest strength is that of character and story. For that is what truly captures an audience and connects on a more personal level. Ratatouille left me charmed, delighted, and hungry for more....
