Ratatouille
Remy the rat is blessed – and cursed – with a refined palatte in the latest from Pixar Animation ('Toy Story', 'Finding Nemo'). Not content to eat garbage with his fellow rodents, he sneaks into the best restaurants each night for un petit degustation.
Misunderstood by his father and his peers, Remy is further thwarted in his life's ambition: to become a master chef in his own right.
This is from Brad Bird, the best director of animation, responsible for the excellent 'The Incredibles' and 'The Iron Giant'.

My lovely girlfriend and I just saw this. I had a stupid grin on my face for much of the movie and enjoyed every minute immensely. There were no slow sections and the last quarter (and conclusion of the movie) was unexpected and probably the highlight of the whole picture. A quick review is a good one. Suffice to say, 5 stars and well worth a trip...

pressBrad Bird, the director who brought us The Incredibles and The Iron Giant, has another exquisitely crafted hit on his hands. It's got a message, about following your dreams and not letting prejudice stand in your way, however the point's not laboured or allowed to get too cloying. There are more layers of meaning too, if you care to look for them in this breezily entertaining yet complex film...
