Ratatouille

Synopsis: A rat named Remy dreams of becoming a great French chef despite his family's wishes and the obvious problem of being a rat in a decidedly rodent-phobic profession. When fate places Remy in the sewers of Paris, he finds himself ideally situated beneath a restaurant made famous by his culinary hero, Auguste Gusteau. Despite the apparent dangers of being an unlikely - and certainly unwanted - visitor in the kitchen of a fine French restaurant, Remy's passion for cooking soon sets into motion a hilarious and exciting rat race that turns the culinary world of Paris upside down.

Review: Not a bad movie I must say the animation lived up to its predecessors. At times funny and at times heart-warming, the theme of "anyone can cook" is also widely promoted with a rat that can cook and guide a cook noob to cook by pulling his hair. I was expecting the main character to be able to cook in the end but it was not to be. Traces of the Incredibles could be seen in the design of the characters which ought to have been improvised. Fresh idea but same animation concept so its actually just another PIXAR archives. So if you like what PIXAR is producing then this is one film which you must not miss out.
