Ratatouille puts the "anyone can cook" motto to the test and while it's an absurd premise, this film is absolutely beautiful in every way.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jun 29, 2022

It doesn’t have a flaw; it’s perfect storytelling and its emotional payoff is a landmark.

Despite the unexplained language barriers or farfetched plot, this delightfully delicious foray into the unimaginable never becomes preachy or immature.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Nov 27, 2020

This is a film about a rat who becomes a chef in Paris. But it's so much more than that. It's about what a great artist can be, where a great artist can come from, it's about food and how to savour it.

A love letter to Paris, a valentine to the fine art of cooking, and a gift to film fans of all ages.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jun 20, 2019

A delectable treat that represents the finest qualities in animation and American cinema.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Jun 6, 2019

Has great vocal performances throughout and is about a character figuring out where they belong and finally being accepted there. I love it!

| Original Score: A+ | Apr 26, 2019

That is the (...) imperative message of Ratatouille. Everyone is not an artist, but anyone could be an artist. Because, as living creatures, it is simply what we do.

The studio's latest effort offers beautiful and strikingly realistic animation, but the flawed concept should have been scrapped...

I won't spoil the broth, but suffice to say Ratatouille is a bursting with bright flavors, some spice, and deep warmth that settles in your belly and satisfies body and soul.

There is so much to enjoy and celebrate here, Ratatouille deserves more than a review: it could (and probably will) inspire books about creativity and good taste.

| Original Score: A | Dec 8, 2015

Ratatouille was written and directed by Brad Bird, the guy behind The Incredibles, and while his new movie isn't as brainy as that one, it has lots of lovely touches to appeal to parents as well as kids.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 3, 2015

Ratatouille is a triumph that not only pays tribute to the spirit of discovery, but revels in the fun of making a few of its own.

| Original Score: 7.5/10 | Aug 3, 2015

And there's Remy himself, voiced by irreverent comic Patton Oswalt. Yes, he's a rat, and a pantless one at that, but he's a charming rat.

The latest from Pixar and Oscar winning writer-director Brad Bird is a fabulously enjoyable parable about the pursuit of excellence and rising above the preconceptions of others.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 3, 2015

It's not just the best animated film this year, it's the best animated film to come out of the U.S. since Bird's last effort, The Incredibles.

Like the snooty restaurant critic Anton Ego (voiced by Peter O'Toole), we enter Ratatouille thinking we've tasted it all, and we leave hoping for seconds.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 3, 2015

It's a great programme for all the family.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 29, 2015

It's not my favourite Pixar film.

No restaurant has ever benefited from placing rats in a recipe, but the digital wizards in Pixar's kitchen have cooked up a winning peasant dish in Ratatouille.
