A Delicious Concoction: Ratatouille

Release Date: June 29th, 2007
Runtime: 111 min
Rating: G
Appropriate for Ages: 4 and up

Ratatouille was a great addition the collection of Pixar films. As usual, the animation was stellar and incredibly meticulous. The story was very well-written; never talking down to the audience, and honestly it was just plain fun to watch.

Ratatouille is about a young rat named Remy who moves to Paris with huge dreams of being a chef. He has one big problem though, hes a rat. Instead of rummaging though garbage with the rest of his family Remy frequents the restaurant made famous by his culinary hero Auguste Gusteau. Opportunity comes knocking on Remy's door one day though when he teams up with the clumsy garbage boy named Linguini who is desperate to keep his job. Although Linguini has no cooking skills whatsoever, with Linguini's size and Remy's knowledge of cooking they form the perfect cooking team.

Although Ratatouille can certainly be seen by the entire family, its probably more suited for slightly older children who will better be able to understand the plot.
