Ratatouille was Pixar's 8th movie and second movie to be directed by Brad Bird.Coincidentally its the second Pixar movie to feature humans in major roles after Brad's Incredibles.
After the critically disappointing Cars (considering Pixar standards),most thought Pixar had finally broken its legendary run.But it was not to be,with Ratatouille,Pixar bounced back with full force.
Animation has been improving with each Pixar movie,and Ratatouille isnt any different.Being a movie about cooking and beauty of food,Pixar doesn make any compromises.Everything is just perfect.The colourful yet simplistic designs is a feast for the eyes.The animation and designs of both Remy & Linguini and the supporting characters are brilliant.
As usual Pixar delivers another touching movie with really great characters.The story keeps flowing,leaving the audience wanting more.Ratatouille has one of the most memorable scenes ive ever seen (Anton Ego having a flashback).The scene barely lasts 15sec but it will definitely melt your hearts.Such scenes define Pixar's quality not only in animation but also in great story telling.
The movie doesn take its story lightly as Cars did,it caters to people of all ages.
Brad's direction is perfect.The movie isnt action packed like Incredibles ,but its more about capturing the beauty in cooking ,which hes done excellently.Another factor which is quite noticeable is the music composed by Michael Giacchino.Just like the movie its beautiful and will stick inside your head for days.
On release,Ratatouille garnered mass critical acclaim and was well praised in France (where the movie takes place).
Overall Ratatouille is a classical movie ,a must watch.
