Movie Review – Ratatouille (2007) – 3 Stars
Light-hearted and eminently likeable, ‘Ratatouille’ is a nice Pixar film for relaxing to, but it doesn’t quite live up to the standards they set themselves with films like ‘The Incredibles’, ‘Finding Nemo’ and ‘WALL·E’. The story is passable, with a good-natured message of accepting differences, and the characters have a classic cartoon warmth. But the pacing seems a little off, and you’re never really sure which revelation is the real climax to the film. That being said, Peter O’Toole’s ‘Ego’ the food critic is fantastic and serves as a lesson for anyone who chooses to share their opinions with others.
