Ratatouille is French for incredible movie.
This movie exceeded my every expectation and was more heartwarming and genuine than anything I had seen all year. It looks incredible with even the hairs on the rat being well defined. The streets of Paris look amazing, although they are too clean from what I saw of Paris. Initially I was skeptical that I could be motivated to become passionate about a rat that is cooking. This was never an issue as almost immediately the audience develops a connection with the rat.
This movie is not just for children. This movie is not a kids movie that was made more for adults. This is a movie that everyone can watch and find something to enjoy. Brad Bird is phenomenal. He proves that for every Ice Age 2 or Over the Hedge that relies on voice talent and cheap laughs, he can make a thoughtful film that relies on the story.
See this movie. You will be immersed and forget that you are watching an animated film. You will be amazed at how close you feel to the characters. You will laugh afterword with whomever accompanied you and laughed just as hard.
The short at the beginning is hilarious as well and shows how well Pixar can depict emotion using their characters, even without dialogue.
Favorite part of the film: The flashback scene at the end was incredible. No spoilers.

I've heard it's pretty great. I'm looking forward to seeing it when it comes to the Logan theater.
I saw it the weekend it came out.
The following Monday, what was the featured entree at the hospital cafeteria? Ratatouille.
Which dining facility was shut down for a week last year by health inspectors following an incident where a rodent fell onto the burger griddle during lunch hour rush? The very same hospital cafeteria.
Hmmm...
