Director: Brad Bird
It's been a long time since I've seen a Pixar film - I think the last one was the original Toy Story when it came out. I really want to hate Pixar - critically acclaimed and wildly popular? There has to be something insidious going on. Maybe Brad Bird rapes pelicans, or The Incredibles is actually an allegory about Aryan supermen. That all may be so, but they make a damn fine film. Ratatouille is thankfully free of pop-culture winks, it has a simple, timeless story that's told effectively.
Helping me through was the voice of Patton Oswalt, a most unlikely lead voice in a children's animated film, but he is pretty much note-perfect as Remy the Rat.
