Animated Comedy: Ratatouille

Ratatouille (2007)

Patton Oswalt voices Remy, the star of this animated comedy about gourmet cuisine. Remy is a rat who grew up raiding the rural house of an elderly women. When the family is exposed, they make an escape down a drainpipe. Remy is split from the rest of the rats, and winds up face to face with his culinary hero's restaurant. He accidentally finds a way into the kitchen, and through some animated hijinks, he becomes the newest chef on the block! With one exception, he has to use an oafish young man's help to accomplish his gourmet concoctions.

Like most Pixar films, I forgot for a few minutes that this was animated. The voice talent was also great, but could have been alot better. Wil Arnett actually has a small part in the movie, but you'll never know it's him. Janeane Garofalo plays a larger part, but she does it with a french accent. Another waste of good talent.

Overall, this movie was very entertaining. The plot was consistent, the technicalities involving a bustling kitchen well researched, and the animation was phenomenal. Patton Oswalt also added a great deal of vocal talent that really made this movie enjoyable.

this was good
