Directed by Brad Bird, Ratatouille won the 2007 Best Animated Oscar and deservedly so. As a dedicated foodie myself - and the rats aside - you cannot go wrong with a film that stars food, a restaurant and Paris. Remy is a rat long on culinary aspirations but short on opportunity, not surprisingly. When he gets separated from his brood and finds himself in Paris, in the celebrated restaurant of the recently departed Auguste Gusteau no less, the rat gets his chance. Forging an alliance with Linguini, a kitchen mop boy (later discovered to be the son of Gusteau), the two begin to wow Paris while simultaneously pissing off the restaurant's current frozen food fan chef. Light hearted, endearing and fun, and with a great role for Peter O'Toole as the voice of food critic Anton Ego, Ratatouille is sure to be a great addition to any movie menu.
My rating 8 out of 10.
