Ratatouille

It seems Pixar can do no wrong. Ratatouille is not their best film but it's a pretty damn good one.
The hero is Remy (Patton Oswalt) a rat who, despite the disgusting reputation of the rodent, longs to be a chef. He has a nose for food, not garbage or leftovers but cuisine, and is somewhat ridiculed by his rodent family.
He is seprarated from pack and ends up in Paris at Gusteau's Restaurant, a once high class eatery that has faded in popularity after being savaged by the critics.
It's up to Remy to save the day in a manner that is at the same time hilarious and heartwarming as it is very unsanitary, shall we say.
I tend to refuse to see any animated feature (aside from the Simpsons Movie of course) that isn't made by Pixar - and for good reason. Everything else is inferior.
From Toy Story through Monsters Inc, Cars, The Incredibles and others in between, Pixar always hits the spot. It amazes me how they can give a rat a personality, make him likable - even adorable - and make you want everything to work out.
Perhaps it's the more universal themes they explore rather than the tools they use, but Ratatouille is quite surreal. Much more so than Cars or Finding Nemo. Perhaps the stigma associated with rats has a lot to do with it.
Like I said, Ratatouille isn't the best Pixar film but it is worthy to stand in the collection. You'll enjoy it, guaranteed. A tasty 8 out of 10.
