With astounding animation, inspirational messages, and endearing characters, Pixar Animation Studios (THE INCREDIBLES, CARS) and Walt Disney Pictures have whipped up something special with RATATOUILLE. A rat named Remy (Patton Oswalt) lives in Paris with a dream (and the talent) to be a chef. Opting to raid the kitchens of Paris rather than the garbage cans and sewers of the city with his family, Remy is inspired by the philosophy of one of the city's most legendary chefs, the late Gusteau (Brad Garrett). One night, Remy can't resist practicing his skill in Gusteau's restaurant. While his guard is down, Remy is discovered by a klutzy young man, Linguini (Lou Romano), who cleans the kitchen. Together Remi and Linguini become a culinary duo, with Remy playing puppeteer by concealing himself under Linguini's chef's hat. Remy pulls Linguini's hair to direct his hands, helping to bring Remy's creations to life. Soon Gusteau's restaurant becomes the talk of the town--but would it still be the toast of Paris if everyone knew a rat was running the show? The positioning of a city-dwelling rodent with a distinct palate and the aptitude to concoct mouthwatering dishes in one of Paris's finest eateries is the winning ingredient in RATATOUILLE's inspirational presentation. And Remy's brave conviction to break away from the pack and risk his life for what he loves and believes in gives the film a positive and heartwarming message for all ages. [More]

Reviews for Ratatouille
Tiene la magia de las viejas películas clásicas de Disney con todo y su mensaje de luchar por los sueños y así lograr lo imposible. Una verdadera delicia.
A tantalizing smorgasbord that will delight the palettes of audiences of all ages with its simple moral tale about pushing beyond your social boundaries to achieve success.
In food-critic speak, Ratatouille is highly seasoned and layered with complex flavors and has considerable sweetness on the finish.
I think Brad Bird is working on another level than most animated writer/directors.
A masterpiece that HAS to be the front-runner for this year's animated Oscar. It's actually the rare 'toon that even deserves consideration for Best Picture.
Representa não apenas uma diversão imperdível (suas seqüências de ação são sensacionais e seu senso de humor é invejável) como também pode dar origem a discussões estimulantes sobre a natureza da Arte, do artista e do estudioso.
Pixar/Disney's latest animated movie Ratatouille could be a trap, as it ensnares viewers from start to finish with its adorable animation, non-stop humor and lovable characters.
Though it took a while, 'Ratatouille' won me over with its superior visuals and sophisticated direction.
Ratatouille is a welcome, delicate return to the Pixar gold standard, and, as I noted to myself, "wowzers and lovely."
Ratatouille is fast-moving and fun and makes me wish I gave more thought to my meals. But if I laughed out loud, it wasn't more than once and the most emotional moment came from Anton Ego, the snobby British critic.
In a sense, Ratatouille is a story about fulfilling one’s dreams, about going beyond preconceived boundaries and following your heart.
Brad Bird is officially my favorite animation director. Another masterpiece.
Rarely do Pixar films fall short of excellence, and Ratatouille is no exception.
A love letter to Paris, a valentine to the fine art of cooking, and a gift to summer moviegoers.
Constantly pushing beyond its narrative and visual capacities, Ratatouille ends up one frighteningly effortless entertainment.
My compliments to the chef Brad Bird. This writer/director has one of the best young filmographies in the world.
In an already stellar year for animation, Ratatouille - dare I say it? - takes the cake.
