Ratatouille

Too funny! You never know when you might get the lowdown on some cool project though!

Ratatouille was fantastic!

Good to hear these reviews. I had no real desire to see it based upon the previews. But perhaps I'll make a point of going to see it now.

Alex, Is this the movie you have given a 10 out of 10?

[Alex]

The blank out of 10 ratings are something of an afterthought, so I don't really recall them but I think so.

Loved it! Unbelievably realistic backgrounds and props. Go for just the red onions alone! Characters and story were spot on as well, and it was plenty of fun. The packed theater didn't have too many screaming babies. Make sure to see it in DLP - we almost forgot.

I was commenting to a friend today and made the same observation. I'm sure they do it on purpose, lowering expectations then delivering a great film. I had zip desire to see 'The Incredibles' but wound up loving it. Brad Bird as Edna Mode was genius.

I think the movie did seem to have some problems in its advertising... I was interested in this film, but that was mostly because it's Pixar AND I love to cook, a secret that only a few (until now) know. I don't know if I would have seen it otherwise.

The only other Pixar film I saw in the theaters was The Incredibles and that was because I was practically dragged. I loved it, but there's no way I would have seen it on my own. Actually, that goes for anything Pixar... the promos don't grab me, except this one.

The boyfriend was absolutely uninterested in this flick. While I highly doubt he'll see it in the theaters, I have a feeling he'll own the DVD when its released.

I wanted to go see this tomorrow, but will have to wait until Boy can see it with me. He would be mighty upset if I saw it without him.

Actually, I was nervous about this one because for the first time ever, the trailer actually interested me. I guess I was alone in that, but I thought from the beginning that it might be good...which paradoxically made me worry that it would suck.

But I thought it was great. I'll let the experience bake for a bit before I start to think about where it falls in my ranking of the Pixar canon, but it'll certainly be high.

What is not high is my opinion of the parent(s) of the child sitting next to me who allowed him to wear flashing shoes to a movie.
