Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

From the creators of Finding Nemo and The Incredibles comes a breakthrough comedy with something for everyone.

In one of Paris's finest restaurants, Remy, a determined young rat, dreams of becoming a renowned French chef. Torn between his family's wishes and his true calling, Remy and his pal Linguini set in motion a hilarious chain of events that turns the City of Lights upside down.

Bubbling over with exclusive bonus features, including shorts, deleted scenes, and much more, Ratatouille is a treat you'll want to enjoy again and again.

Review:

"Displaying the usual meticulousness associated with the Pixar brand, Ratatouille is a nearly flawless piece of popular art." A.O. Scott, The New York Times

Review:

"Brad Bird wrote and directed Ratatouille and tops his previous work. Since his work includes The Iron Giant and The Incredibles, this puts him somewhere between Chuck Jones and Michelangelo." David Edelstein, New York Magazine

Review:

"Arguably the finest 'toon in the Pixar canon." The New York Post

Review:

"A lot of animated movies have inspired sequels, notably Shrek, but Brad Bird's Ratatouille is the first one that made me positively desire one." Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Review:

"Ratatouille might be that rare G-rated film that adults enjoy even more than children. In other words, some scenes cater to folks who prefer truffles over goldfish crackers." The San Francisco Chronicle

Review:

"Ratatouille is delicious fun sure to be savored by audiences of all ages for its sumptuous visuals, clever wit and irresistibly inspiring tale." USA Today

Synopsis:

It's hard being a rat with a silver palate — just ask Remy, the star of Disney/Pixar's newest animated film, Ratatouille! While the other rats of Paris are happy eating trash, Remy dreams of becoming a gourmet chef. Find out how his dream becomes a reality in this deliciously delightful animated blockbuster.

Me and my 3yr old nephew sit and watch this. he calls it the mickey mouse movie LOL. He loves to help me in the kitchen and wants a pet mouse to help him in the kitchen. I do not have the heart to tell him it wil never happen because I am MAJORLY afraid of rats.

The best movie of the year! Probably everyone knows by now that this is a wonderful movie for adults and children alike with beautiful animation and an engaging story about a young rat following his dream of being a chef. I ran out to buy the DVD, and it also includes a short 11-minute film, "Your Friend, the Rat." This was very informative about the history of rats. For example, did you know that the "Norwegian rat", most common in the U.S. today, was originally from China, and then went to England from Denmark, not Norway? This is especially enjoyable for pet rat lovers.
