Ratatouille


Joe takes a look at Pixar's first in a long line of successful artsy films. Pixar Month is entering its home stretch, and now things are looking up.


Short Review: Ratatouille is a great piece of cinematic art. Animated spectacularly and dealing with a unique premise executed brilliantly, Ratatouille is my third favorite Pixar film (behind Up and WALL-E). All of the characters are handled great, particularly Anton Ego who is one of the inspirations for me becoming a critic. You should absolutely check it out.

Video Review:

What you will Like:

  1. The music and atmosphere is beautiful.
  2. All of the characters are handled expertly; especially Anton.
  3. A deep, complex message told in a tear-jerking monologue by the primary antagonist. 

What you will Hate:

  1. The romance is a little heavy-handed.
  2. The secondary antagonist is very one-dimensional.

Final Score: MUST OWN!!!
