Ratatouille (2007)

Ratatouille is a cinematic and gustatory delight! It's an extremely well-done movie that, more than kids, will appeal to adults, foodies, and Francophiles. Toy Story and The Incredibles were my favorite Pixar films until Ratatouille, but this latest movie is extremely faithful to the nuances and joys of the culinary life and the culture of Paris. Patton Oswalt is perfect as Remy the culinary rat, as is Lou Romano as Linguini, his insecure protege. Janeane Garafolo is super as Colette and the rest of the kitchen staff is full of personalities with their own shady past and present quirks. Peter O'Toole is wickedly menacing as Anton Ego, the supercilious restaurant critic. Every detail of the culinary profession has been studied and reproduced faithfully on screen. Remy -- he cares because he can cook! 5 stars.
