Ratatouille (2007)
A pixar movie is coming out...well is out already. I haven't seen this movie yet, but from the reviews I read it seems to be very good. I might go check it out, probably going to watch Transformers with it.
|
It doesn't seem that good. It not like Monsters Inc. Which was all good and dandy.
|
I've been hearing nothing but great stuff about this movie from everyone whose watched it on the other forums I visit. Going to see for myself tommorrow.
|
I saw Ratatouille today! It was a really awesome movie and heart warming all around. I was very satisfied with the whole story, not to mention the animation which was superb and beautiful to watch. It was very entertaining indeed. At first I thought it was going to be crappy since the story was so simple, but boy was I wrong. It was hilarious and I think Ratatouille became my favorite PIXAR movie! This movie has certainly lived up to its PIXAR title. ^_^

Everything I've seen points to a warm fuzzy movie and a good time.
Go see it at matinee price discounts and you'll probably be happy at the result. |
Just watched it.
This movie is weird compared to the other pixar movies I've seen. I dunno but it doesn't give a satisfying ending but a more "warm happy" non-cliche ending. By warm I mean it's not where the main character becomes super rich and all that jazz. Spoiler:
All in all I'm defintely getting this on DVD. |
I saw this movie recently, and I enjoyed it. It wasn't the highest on my list of great pixar films, but I enjoyed it.
I thought the end was realistic, but still had a good warm fuzzy feeling. Plus Remmy was a pretty cute rat... he almost looked like a mouse. One thing I thought was strange, when my hair is pulled, my limbs dont move on their own :) |
I just watched it. Well, I really like it. Mmm, I wish have a pet that can cook that good. :blush:
--> Btw, the small short story before the movie is really funny. The one with the UFO thing |

..... .... "better" isn't the right word. It is funny in a different more mellow way. Its more "slice o life" than "action", I guess.
Plus there's no real villian... just people with various motivations. Yeah, the head chef is an ass and slimy but is Lawful Evil. The food critic is just scary and his reputation is on the line so he's fierce. It is the *situation* that provides a lot of the dramatic tension. Whatever, I quite enjoyed it (though I figure 60% of the humor was lost on the small chitlings roaming the aisles during matinee. Either wait and rent it... or go at night to reduce the theater chatter. |
What did people think of the animated short that was shown before the movie? I've always been much more a fan of the little animated bits shown before most Pixar movies than the actual movies themselves, so I usually wait until they're out on the web instead of paying to see the whole movie just for the ani-short.
Not my favorite, but this was still another one that had me smiling all the way through. http://www.metacafe.com/watch/719531/lifted/ |
The short reminded me a lot of the Animaniacs episode "Space Probed"
That said.... it was wonderful comic timing, great facial expressions, and I loved the control board :) |
Figured I'd mention, I saw this about a month ago and absolutely loved it. :) Most people I know regard it among their top favorite animated films now as well. Saw it with my BF, who loves to cook. Lol.

Spoiler for how do you make meat tender?:
I like the movie. It was funny and entertaining. The plot is generally "loser becomes better". I got hungry afterwards |
I caught this a couple of days ago and loved it. I think 'slice of life' is an apt description of the genre. I think it's hard to compare to other Pixar films since what drives this picture is decidedly more adult in the sense that the youngest kids probably won't get it (Why are rats in the kitchen bad?, What's a food critic?, etc.).
I remember reading an article that Brad Bird-the director-said he would punch the next person that said animation was a genre in itself. He feels that animation can be used to tell any story. As a fan of anime, I know animation can be used for a variety of stories; which is something I don't have to tell anyone here. Saying all that, for me I'd rank Pixar movies like this 1. The Incredibles 2. Toy Story/ Toy Story 2 3. Ratatouille 4. Cars 5. Monsters Inc. 6. Finding Nemo 7. Bugs Life Where 1 and 2 are A+, 3-6 are A and 7 is a B. |
Caught this last weekend, and laughed through most of the movie,
Spoiler:
I don't think this was the best Pixar's ever done, but it was very entertaining, the animation was really good, and the short before the movie was great. Also, I totally failed to identify Jeanine Garofalo as Collette until I saw the credits - that's the mark of a voice roll well played. |
Hey hey hey didn't you guys find this show extremely machiavellian? Quite elitist in some sense. I think it was a rather interesting effort on Pixar's part, and quite ironical that a disney show should parody the disneyfied world of 'perseverance over talent' notion.
Although some may find some parts quite subtle, here are some of my thoughts:
I find it extremely decadent. But I liked the show a little for expounding on this idea anyway, and how they make a parody out of most things. I liked the filmography too, pixar has quite a good sense of balance: between the inconsequential & the not; p.s. I only watched this show in the cinema once. Pardon any factual errors. Also pardon the bad formatting and incoherence: I am quite sleepy. 2:40am ^^" Do tell me what you people think, though xD. <3~innominate |
So I'm gonna answer the question you guys wonder. Why does everyone except Linguini have a French accent?
Well, it's because they are in France, but Linguini was born in America. After she had sex with Gusteau, she went to USA to run away and hide her child from Gusteau since he was her friend and she didnt want to ruin their relationship. But she still taught her son Linguini French, but he speaks it with a horrible American accent. So actually, all of the humans are speaking French, but Linguini is speaking some warbled American accented French, which is why he mumbles his words and umms a lot and corrects what he says out of nervousness. Everyone who speaks real French has a French accent. The accents tell us who speaks what language. No idea why the rats sound American though, since they were born and raised in the French countryside. |
