Reviews for Ratatouille
21 - 40 (sorted by date; UK critics are listed first)
Ratatouille lacks the nutritional value of a truly satisfying meal. Only near the end does it serve up something meatier.

When is a rat a lark? When he's created by Brad Bird. Brad Bird, the animation maestro from Pixar, invents a spunky, gourmet rodent in the lively, spicy romp Ratatouille.

Kids are gonna gobble Ratatouille up; adults will relish its wit, and everyone will want to go out to eat after.

Ratatouille can expect to rake in the accolades.

Brad Bird is concentrating too much on adult approval and not enough on entertaining the little ones; the only thing that really matters is how much they enjoyed it. Unfortunately, they fidgeted. A lot.

Journey to the Center of the Broth

Most of the discussions of food come off like an animated Frasier episode, which shouldn't have broad enough appeal.

Ratatouille is a delicious, delightful stew of a film, a classical fairy tale told with the language of 21st-century technology
02/28/08
One of the few Pixar films which, for me, seemed more geared toward just kids, as opposed to their usual balance of kid/adult themes.
02/22/08
One might have wished for a hero type more acceptable in terms of food preparation. Otherwise, delicious.
01/23/08
Ratatouille is a film made for snobs that may still repel them.
01/18/08
arguably the finest film in Pixar's distinguished canon
12/18/07
Ratatouille is an instant classic.
11/15/07
Complex in its simplicity. It can be summed up quickly by saying it's about a rat who helps a clumsy oaf achieve greatness in a French restaurant. But the rich themes that it covers in the process are universal and inspiring.

Brad Bird is still on top of his game... if you think you can't make your dreams come true, try being a rat who wants to cook in a five-star restaurant.
11/10/07
Not only funny, engaging and entertaining from beginning to end, but a picture which delivers an abundance of heartwarming messages.
11/02/07
Dig into Pixar's delicious, well-crafted rat tale.
10/31/07
The filmmakers at Pixar keep topping themselves with each new release.
10/26/07
Another yummy concoction from Pixar.
