This one is AN ABSOLUTE MUST!
I went to the opening night show (midnight on a weekday, mind you), and never regretted the two hours of the show, nor the grogginess in the morning. And even the closing titles were beautiful.
Unlike many Disney films, the Ratatouille is touching without crossing it to the big pink candy bubbles. The morale bits are short enough to not to annoy. The sprinklings of tiny details is like a good dose of spice that makes the result even more tasty. Surprisingly, despite being set in a food-rich environment, it did not induce any appetite.
Animation techniques have went one more step forward. An electrified rat and a wet rat both look very convincing. The almost-rat-eye perspectives are refreshing and also 100% convincing. Lighting and transparency have always been good with Pixar.
Someone also went out of his or her way to do the Russian translation. It is surprisingly on the money.
I wonder, why there wasn’t a single cat in the whole film? Will have to go see again to try to figure it out.
10/10 and no-nonsense!
