Movie Review by Jeff

Simply put Ratatouille is the second best film I saw in the year 2007, (number one was Atonement.)
Pixar has gone above and beyond with this simple story about a rat who loves the art of cooking and wants to pursue it and rise above his lot in life. Through some twists and turns he winds up in one of the best restaurants in all of France helping a novice Chef in the kitchen. The Chef has to cooking talent whatsoever, but with the aide of the rat, he is able to become one of the top chefs in all of France. I won't go more into the story itself as to not give away anything.
I, as well as most people, are almost always impressed with Pixar animation, but even Pixar seems to have outdone itself here. The animation seems even crisper and sharper than that of Monsters, Inc., Cars, or Toy Story for that matter. The pure imagination and detail on the screen is remarkable. The soundtrack by Michael Ginnochio, the voice acting by Jeanine Gerafalo, Patton Oswalt and Peter O'Toole all lend to the perfection of this motion picture recipe. It is reminiscent of the Disney stories of old, Pinocchio, Snow White, etc. This is an instant classic and should take its place nicely upon the gold statue mantle of Walt Disney Studios and Pixar Films.
