Sign for Bella Notte Cafe=Lady and the Tramp.

Arguable "Hairspray" cameo for Corny. Cameo I would have liked to have seen: the Ghostbusters showing up at the end.

I basically loved it. And it validated my reservations about "Ratatouille" in that there's nothing cuddly about vermin in the kitchen.

Poor Timothy Spall. I hadn't known he was in the movie, but as soon as I saw the animated character, I said to myself, "That's going to be Timothy Spall."

And, opinions please: my wife and I disagree on whether they had gotten married by the end. I say they hadn't. My wife thought it was just a decision not to show us two weddings in the closing montage.

I wasn't so bothered by the required shopping scene, as I was by the equally stereotypical finish where someone starts up a kicky business.
