Ratateuille is another animated charmer

Ratateuille

Directors: Brad Bird, Jan Pinkava

Cast (Voices): Patton Oswalt, Peter O’Toole, Ian Holm, Brian Dennehy

We know rats are clever creatures, if a bit on the tardy side when it comes to personal neatness … and they’re certainly ambitious.

So in another animated charmer we meet our hero (Oswalt) who heads for Paris with dreams of becoming a top chef. Only, see, he’s a rat and rats and kitchens shouldn’t go together.

It’s a funny, clever, observant film about striving to reach your personal heights, even if you are a rat. The animation and the action are first class and it’s overall a wonderfully served-up treat.

Star Rating: 5/5
