Ratatouille (2007) 8/10

Starring : Patton Oswalt, Ian Holm, Lou Romano, Brian Dennehy, Peter Sohn, Peter O’Toole, Brad Garrett, Janeane Garofalo, Will Arnett
Director : Brad Bird
Running Time : 112 mins

After he compromises his family’s home in the French countryside, Remy the rat (Oswalt) is separated from his kin and finds himself living in a Parisian restaurant called Gusteau’s where he helps garbage boy Linguini (Romano) pass for being an excellent chef, but the current owner of the restaurant, Skinner (Holm) become suspicious of him when he finds out that Linguini may be the true owner of Gusteau’s.

This was actually very good, I was surprised to see that there was an actual plot to this film despite how it looked from the trailers. It’s a nice tale about people (and indeed rats) helping each other out so that they can better themselves, and it just goes to prove that even the villains of the piece can soon be turned around for the better.
