Loading ...Dinner is served... Summer 2007
A rat named Remy dreams of becoming a great French chef despite his family's wishes and the obvious problem of being a rat in a decidedly rodent-phobic profession. When fate places Remy in the sewers of Paris, he finds himself ideally situated beneath a restaurant made famous by his culinary hero, Auguste Gusteau. Despite the apparent dangers of being an unlikely - and certainly unwanted - visitor in the kitchen of a fine French restaurant, Remy's passion for cooking soon sets into motion a hilarious and exciting rat race that turns the culinary world of Paris upside down.

This movie is not just any great motion picture, it is a piece of art.It is by far the best animated picture that I have ever seen, muchbetter than any of those artsy "indie films" or any of the other bigbudget Disney pictures. I had originally not wanted to see this movie,I'm not much of a fan of animation, however I was told over and overthat this one was different. When I think of the days that I said no tomyself for refusing to even give this movie a shot I hit myself overthe head in anger. Yes this movie is that good.
Don't let it's Disney title shy you away from seeing this movie, ormaking you gravitate towards it. See it in hopes of really witnessinghistory, of really witnessing something magical. Words cannot describethe overwhelming emotions that may come to you during of after themovie.
This is definitely one of my favorite movies of all time, if not thefavorite.

This is the most wonderful piece of animation film i have ever seen. Aperfect script, which attracts both kids and adults, a flawlessanimation, an outstanding characterization..everything is just great!This ingenious rat (Remy) can be a symbol of (Pixar) itself! Fine artcan come from a very humble origin (which is here an animation film,that is mainly intended to be a children movie), as like as a greatcook can be a rat! In my place there is a common misconception thatanimation films are made basically for children. I see it in myfather's eye when he 'caught' me watching a 3D animation film! I thinkthis film is a very good reply for that. Animation films are alwaysunder-rated everywhere, so it was a good surprise for me to know thatPixar's new film (Up!) is now in Canne's film festival (2009)! This hasgiven me hope that Cinema masters begin to appreciate this specialgenre of fine art!

WARNING MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS!
We all know that Pixar has never made a bad movie and I personally loveall of them and this one is no exception, however it takes a differentapproach for a Pixar film. The plot is very original and very creative.Following a rat's dream to be a cook in France was a great idea. It'slike two opposite world's colliding. The CGI is fantastic and there aremoments where you actually forget your watching an animated movie.Unfortunately there aren't many funny scenes in the movie but Itdoesn't need them, the film works in different sort of way. This is aPixar movie that keeps interested in the story and not the comedy. Ithought Remmy constantly talking to an imaginary apparition of his idolwas weird but other than that I can't really find anything else towrong with it. Overall, a very entertaining movie and worth watching atleast once.

I saw this movie over the weekend and I thought it was outstanding.Very funny and enjoyable.
There were a lot of laughs and a lot of surprises. You will be thrilledfrom beginning to end.
I would watch this movie over and over again. The ending turned outvery good and I was a little surprised.
All in all, I'm glad I waited to watch it in my own home.
Before you watch this movie, make sure you have all of your provisionsfor the movie, i.e., popcorn, dip, drinks, because you don't want tomiss a single frame of this story.

I was really disappointed in the film, it didn't have much of a storyline, and the characters weren't as filled out as usual. I can't tellif it was the writing, or the voice performances, but I really didn'tmuch care for it.
There wasn't the strong motivation of Nemo, for instance, where theyHAD to find Nemo. Remy simply wanted to be a great cook, but there wasno real driving force behind this want. The relationship between himand what's his name, the young chef (see I can't even remember hisname) was so ho hum, not vital enough to drive the picture. And therewere way too many animated humans, unlike Nemo and Pixar's previousefforts. I am probably in the minority, but animated human charactersjust don't get it for me. Animated animals, cars, chairs, fine, humans,no.
Actor wise, I think Peter O'Toole was the most successful in hischaracterization, and the film could have used some more voice talentof his level. The voice of Remy didn't capture any excitement, energy,nothing vital or arresting. Like wise Brad Garret as the Ghost Chef. Iloved him on Raymond, but he didn't really find a character here,however he wasn't alone.
Maybe my expectations were too high, but Pixar has never let me downand I expected this to be right up there with their others.
