Plot : A rat determined to be a chef makes a human friend when they decide to help each other in the cooking buisness.
Story : Remmy "the rat" who's passion in life is cooking and eating is constantly discouraged by his position in life. His father and brother accept their current role as creatures who must hide and fear humans , but Remmy wants a big change to allow him to create food. One day Remmy ruins the comfortable set-up his family has set up - when he is seen by the owner of the house where his family lives (unknowingly to the owner of course). Remmy discovers where he has been living his whole life - Paris "the city of food". He encounters a garbage boy who experiments with the resturant's soup one day , for the worse : which then Remmy fixes and becomes Linguine's (garbage boy) friend and cooking guide. Remmy controlls Linguine by pulling his hair gently to influence Linguines actions , and by this makes the food. The story never has a dull moment , it's also told in a very different way : there will be lots of focus on one thing for awhile and you will get very involved when all of sudden you forgot about another important character and event so that becomes the dominante part of the movie , and then it goes back to what you were just watching . It really is a fresh breath into the seemingly repetetive/commercially safe (boring) work that pixar has been doing lately.
Visuals : I don't usually watch lots of the new gigantic wave of 3D animated films coming out - and for a good reason : they are all played out commercially formulated films , with no originality. So I'm not one to compare this to other 3D films - but the ones I have seen have nothing on this. Easily pixar's best work yet , the gigantic beautifull Paris , amazingly intense action sequences , and the delicious looking food - all come together in one of the best visual films ever.
Sypnosis : Don't let the recent lack of great animated films steer you away from the gripping and heartwarming tale of Ratatouille.
