Ratatouille (Pixar 2007)

I saw it on saturday in digital and it was absolutely stunning. I completely agree with the statement penfold12 made about it being like an oil painting coming to life. Everything looked so realistic but with a tiny cartoonish slant. It was a great story with just the right amount of amusing moments. Some of the kids in the audience got really emotionally attached to the characters quickly too, only a good Disney movie can do that.

Absolutely superb, 4.5/5

I saw Ratatouille yesterday!

It was absolutely superb! I loved every second of it - One of my favourite Disney Pixar movies. I didn't find it very funny (I only laughed once), but it's not a comedy, and it doesn't need to be funny :lol:

I thought the storyline was great, it was very original, and the animation was just brilliant! It was all very detailed and some scenes looked real :shock: I would definitely recommend this movie to everybody - It's my favourite movie of the yaer, and it's made me think differently about rats

The film took £4.8m ($9.8m)in the UK over the opening weekend according to this article. If my "research" is correct (it's very hard to find UK box office...), this is almost twice the amount Cars took in its opening weekend. Although that was up against Dead Man's Chest.

Disney really should have released it in the US this month too.

Internationally it is the 3rd highest box office for a Pixar Film. So much for all those bad reports about Disney paying too much for Pixar and their brand being in trouble. Its just about timing I think. As you say Baloo, too many films in the summer, this has replaced the Disney 2D release slot of old. Then they moved that to the summer and box office began to drop...

I think the autumn half term is always going to be a much better release date than the summer holidays as people are more likely to go to the cinema when the weather is bad.

I saw it yesterday and was obviously impressed with the quality. I would have prefered more laughs - there aren't really any big ones until near the end. As RnRCj says it isn't a comedy so it can't really be compared to Toy Story and won't be on my favourites list. Having said that it is very good and would be a must see even if the animation wasn't so incredible.

Saw the trailer for Enchanted too - can't wait for that one.

I've saw it earlier on today, We have to miss the first 5 minutes of it because the card's wasen't working so we have to wait for 20 minutes then afterwards to go and get popcorn.

It was great, I need to do my Pixar List now.

I Saw it - finally yesterday and it blew me away! It had everything a good animated film should have! I really felt sorry for Remy when he found out his hero had died

All round great movie and cant wait for Enchanted!

More rat news !

Quote

Rats have never been so popular. Pet stores say they have been inundated with requests for the rodents after the success of the Disney film Ratatouille.

The animation, which features a loveable French rat with a passion for cooking, has turned the rat from a hated pest to the most popular pet of the year. Pets at Home said sales of rats in the half-term holiday soared by 50 per cent in its stores.

That was on Calender on Monday.

I might get one and name it Remy.

Ratatouille was a great movie but it didn't make me want to buy a rat!

I finally saw Ratatouille today and really enjoyed it. A great storyline plus amazing animation equals a fantastic film.

Also, did anyone else think that the health inspector looked like Walt :lol: :wink:

He was played by Jamie Oliver in the UK version, bizarrely... He did he a good job with those few lines though, just as Jeremy Clarkson was well cast as Lightning McQueen's sleazy agent (better than the US original, I heard).

I wonder who they'll get to do a voice in Wall-E? :?

Has anyone bought the Ratatouille soundtrack? It's mostly "score-only" music, by that I mean not that great to listen to on its own (apart from the Ratatouille Theme and End Creditouilles), but the song Le Festin is loooovely.

It'd make for a good song to use at DLRP, somewhere.
