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.

There are more layers of meaning too, if you care to look for them in this breezily entertaining yet complex film...
