You don’t have to be a Pixar fan to love Ratatouille, a charming comedy from writer/director Brad Bird. Of course the animation is excellent, but the voice actors bring to life the story of a Parisian rat who dreams of becoming a great chef.
Along the way, our hero confronts the opposition of his family and the human aversion to rats in the kitchen. It all unfolds delightfully with comedy arising from character as much as situation.
A particular stand-out is Peter O’Toole as food critic Anton Ego, perhaps the most fearsome critic in cinema history. Take the kids to Ratatouille, and, if you don’t have kids, take yourself.

I agree. It’s a rare film that kids and adults can enjoy equally.
