Ratatouille

I saw this new Pixar film over the weekend. We were in Melbourne, FL on a Friday night with nothing to do, so we went to a movie and had a late dinner.

Brad Bird (the director) succeeds again. I loved The Iron Giant and The Incredibles, and this movie is no exception. However, it is not a kid's movie, despite the G rating. The very young children in the theater completely lost interest during the second act (whole middle of the movie), but despite their incessant chatter (the disinterested toddlers), I found the movie very funny and completely enjoyable. Oh, and it had a good story, too.

Same theme as Mr. Bird's other two CG animated classics: You Can Be Whatever You Choose To Be, or Be Yourself/Be All You Can Be. You get the idea. Rat can cook? Rat becomes chef. Favorite line: "Want to see my Little Chef?" (I paraphrase.)

I give it a full 5 whiskers. I believe I will buy it on DVD when it comes out.
