 4/4 |
It's always been Pixar's boast that it keeps its computers in their place -- at the service of the story -- and with Ratatouille, it has proved it yet again. Full Review |

Every delicious situation is finger-licking good as the shy, clumsy Linguini becomes Remy's puppet, the rat-puppeteer holding onto large tufts of the novice-chef's hair and tugging them decisively, manipulating his every move. Full Review |

Genuine enchantment Full Review |

Ratatouille lacks the nutritional value of a truly satisfying meal. Only near the end does it serve up something meatier. Full Review |

4.0/5 |
When is a rat a lark? When he's created by Brad Bird. Brad Bird, the animation maestro from Pixar, invents a spunky, gourmet rodent in the lively, spicy romp Ratatouille. Full Review |

Kids are gonna gobble Ratatouille up; adults will relish its wit, and everyone will want to go out to eat after. Full Review |

Ratatouille can expect to rake in the accolades. Full Review |
||
 3/5 |
Brad Bird is concentrating too much on adult approval and not enough on entertaining the little ones; the only thing that really matters is how much they enjoyed it. Unfortunately, they fidgeted. A lot. Full Review |

6/10 |
Most of the discussions of food come off like an animated Frasier episode, which shouldn't have broad enough appeal. Full Review |

9/10 |
Ratatouille is a delicious, delightful stew of a film, a classical fairy tale told with the language of 21st-century technology Full Review |
||
|
5/10 |
One of the few Pixar films which, for me, seemed more geared toward just kids, as opposed to their usual balance of kid/adult themes. Full Review |

|
4.5/5 |
One might have wished for a hero type more acceptable in terms of food preparation. Otherwise, delicious. Full Review |

3/6 |
Ratatouille is a film made for snobs that may still repel them. Full Review |

|
5/5 |
arguably the finest film in Pixar's distinguished canon Full Review |

5/5 |
Ratatouille is an instant classic. Full Review |

Complex in its simplicity. It can be summed up quickly by saying it's about a rat who helps a clumsy oaf achieve greatness in a French restaurant. But the rich themes that it covers in the process are universal and inspiring. Full Review |
||
|
4.0/4.0 |
Brad Bird is still on top of his game... if you think you can't make your dreams come true, try being a rat who wants to cook in a five-star restaurant. Full Review |

|
4/4 |
Not only funny, engaging and entertaining from beginning to end, but a picture which delivers an abundance of heartwarming messages. Full Review |
