Sinossi:

With astounding animation, inspirational messages, and endearing characters, Pixar Animation Studios (THE INCREDIBLES, CARS) and Walt Disney Pictures have whipped up something special with RATATOUILLE. A rat named Remy (Patton Oswalt) lives in Paris with a dream (and the talent) to be a chef. Opting to raid the kitchens of Paris rather than the garbage cans and sewers of the city with his family, Remy is inspired by the philosophy of one of the city’s most legendary chefs, the late Gusteau (Brad Garrett). One night, Remy can’t resist practicing his skill in Gusteau’s restaurant. While his guard is down, Remy is discovered by a klutzy young man, Linguini (Lou Romano), who cleans the kitchen. Together Remi and Linguini become a culinary duo, with Remy playing puppeteer by concealing himself under Linguini’s chef’s hat. Remy pulls Linguini's hair to direct his hands, helping to bring Remy’s creations to life. Soon Gusteau’s restaurant becomes the talk of the town--but would it still be the toast of Paris if everyone knew a rat was running the show? The positioning of a city-dwelling rodent with a distinct palate and the aptitude to concoct mouth-watering dishes in one of Paris's finest eateries is the winning ingredient in RATATOUILLE’s inspirational presentation. And Remy’s brave conviction to break away from the pack and risk his life for what he loves and believes in gives the film a positive and heart-warming message for all ages.

Commento critico (a cura di MARTA SBRANA, Canada)

Once again Disney/Pixar hit the bull’s eye, and still, the irony of fate is thanks to a mouse. A mouse very intelligent, with expensive taste and well determined to become a chef. Just this is enough for a good laugh. But not just this, a whole roundup of funny situations fills this movie “Ratatouille”. “Ratatouille” is not just an amusing film, but is the results of hard work and high-tech animation and a well prove partnership between two of the best animation company. “Ratatouille”, as expected from an animation movie has a simple story line, but it has been developed into a two-hour long film where the viewers are glued to the silver screen without blinking. The talented actors and actresses the bring those characters alive on the screen are magnificent, all of them, but one in particular really stand out of the crowd, no less than Peter O’Toole. Mr.

O’Toole gives that despicable Anton Ego such a slithery personality that makes him impossible to like even after his change of heart. Thanks to the wonderful animation technique, even these mice are cute, adorable and especially Remy who you want to take home with you. Will we be able to look at a mouse the same way after this movie?
