Ratatouille (2007)

Synopsis: Remy is an awesome chef. He has the talent to be the best bistro chef in all of Paris. The only problem, he's a rat. To make matters worse, his family forbids him to interact with humans. But when the rat colony gets separated, Remy finds a new home at Gusteau's restaurant which is on the downward spiral from a 5 star rating to a tourism spot. There, he meets Linguini, the young heir of the late Gusteau trying to hold down a job at the restaurant. Remy and Linguini decide to work together to become the number one chef in Paris and bring Gusteau's name back into Paris's elite cuisine. But they have to over come plenty of obstacles including the stingy head chef, Skinner, and the food critic from hell, Anton Ego. But Gusteau believed that anyone can cook, anyone!

Should You Watch It? This film is amazing. I don't care who you are. You have to watch it. I don't care if you hate puppies and wanna kill all pets, you have to see this movie.

Things to Watch Out For: 90 minutes of pure entertainment. Oh yeah, and the beginning short film is the best one I've seen from Pixar in a while. The beauty of this film lies in the simplicity and how open everything is to the public. There are no hidden meanings or metaphors or stuff like that. Everything is made clear and used to entertain. Absolutely brilliant.

Things You Don't Expect: How the hell does Brad Bird do it every year? This guy is some sorta, master story teller or something. Everything he touches turns into gold. He's amazing. It's to the point where if he told me to poke my eyes out cause it would make me a better writer, I'd do it.
