Ratatouille (rat-a-too-ee), named after a pastoral French stew, opened in June 2007 to much fanfare and acclaim — it quickly became one of Pixar Animation
Studio’s biggest box office draws and as of November 1st, 2007 it holds a rating of 97% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Ratatouille relates the story of an overly-sophisticated rat named
Remy, who follows his dreams of living the gourmet food lifestyle when fate inexplicably brings him to the front door of a prestigious restaurant in Paris. There he befriends Linguini, a klutzy cook on the verge of his culinary awakening — chaos and pandemonium ensue.
I have to say, this is one of those few films that have made me want to clap with
joy. It’s full of great moments — touching stories of romance and budding friendships for the whole family, and hilarious one-liners for the parents. It also features, quite possibly, the most accurate visual representation of taste sensation ever brought to screen. This food film warrants at least a rental!
It has been released out on DVD, and is also available on Blu-Ray.
