Ratatoullie
(rat~a~too~ee)

One thing you can sure of in this uncertain world is that when Pixar makes a movie, it has to be awesome. I am a hardcore fan of animation movies especially from the Pixar stable. I saw the very first show of this movie and straight after watching it, I am blogging about it. I was extremely disappointed to see just 5 people in the entire theater. Pixar succeeds again with Ratatouille, a stunningly animated film with fast pacing, memorable characters, and overall good humor.

With astounding animation, inspirational messages, and endearing characters, Pixar Animation Studios and Walt Disney Pictures have whipped up something special with Ratatoullie. A rat named Remy lives in Paris with a dream 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 ( I like the name of his book.. Anyone can Cook . 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, 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? Just watch the movie to know more.
The best part about Pixar movies is that they are not at all predictable. In the end I had thought that Gusteau’ hotel will regain its lost star back (it would have happened in any other movie) but naah.

Overall a fabulous movie, I highly recommend it! Would give it 10/10. Also, before the movie starts, they show the The Academy Award nominated short film Lifted which is also hilarious.
