But Pixar being Pixar, simplicity just isn't in the cards."   OhmyNews.com   Brian Orndorf A ""Ratatouille" may just be the most fully expressed animated family movie to come around since "101 Dalmatians" (1961)."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey 5/5 "Bird's movies so far have been aimed at children, but the craftsmanship in them can leave an adult spellbound."   eFilmCritic.com   Dan Lybarger 5/5 "Brilliant in every conceivable way."   eFilmCritic.com   David Cornelius 2.5/4 "...ultimately one of the most uneven and least compelling efforts from Disney's Pixar Animation Studios to date..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 2/4 "Pixar's weakest film in almost a decade."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman 4/5 "Un entretenimento de primer nivel, con extraordinaria animación pero sobre todo con entrañables personajes y una historia original, divertida y hasta raramente emotiva."   Uruguay Total   Enrique Buchichio A- "Almost as funny, joyful, and heartfelt as anything that Pixar's merry band of genius-nerds has ever done."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 3/4 "There's enough to enjoy in the artistry and its final hope for new discoveries to applaud the outcome even if its just a polite applause until the flame goes out."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress A "The best comedy of the summer, animated or not, and perceptive parents may enjoy it even more than their offspring."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek A "Since cooking in itself is a form of artistry, it makes a nice allegory for art in general...at root, Ratatouille's the story of a boy with an artistic sensibility that figuratively and literally separates him from his family."   Cinepinion   Henry Stewart 3/4 "For parents looking to spend time in a theater with their kids or adults who want something lighter and less testosterone-oriented than the usual summer fare, Ratatouille offers a savory main course."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3.5/5 "Part of the surprise of Ratatouille is the unexpected way in which it unfolds. Brad Bird's script has some of the expected dramatic turns but it also holds a number of surprises."   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 9/10 "Click here to read review"   sumno.com   Jaroslav Vishtaljuk 10/10 "Animation shouldn't be just for kids -- animation should be used to tell good stories ... And, with its many strengths, Ratatouille is a great story, and a great movie."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 7.5/10 "With some terrific comedy and action sequences, an entertaining story, and engaging characters, the result is a sumptuous offering that both kids and adults alike will probably devour with hearty abandon"   Screen It!   Jim Judy 8/10 "The filmmakers at Pixar keep topping themselves with each new release."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 3.5/4 "Tiene la magia de las viejas películas clásicas de Disney con todo y su mensaje de luchar por los sueños y así lograr lo imposible. Una verdadera delicia."   Moviola   Jorge Avila Andrade 4.5/5 "Ratatouille is a welcome, delicate return to the Pixar gold standard, and, as I noted to myself, "wowzers and lovely.""   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Karina Montgomery 4.0/4.0 "Brad Bird is still on top of his game... if you think you can't make your dreams come true, try being a rat who wants to cook in a five-star restaurant."   MovieCrypt.com   Kevin A. Ranson 4/5 "Ratatouille manages to simultaneously provide everything we love about Pixar movies while forging a new path."   Film School Rejects   Kevin Carr B+ "Remy discovers he can control Linguini's movements using his hair like a puppeteer's strings...And while that last idea never really works and proves the film's imaginative failing, Ratatouille has other ideas that do..."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 3/4 "A visually astounding comedy that's missing the emotional significance and thematic complexity of the computer animation studio's best work."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik 6/10 "An engaging enough premise, but does not really have a good story to tell. It pulls in too many directions."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Mark R. Leeper "Oh, but there is joy in this movie... It fills you up... with just the simple yet profound connection it's possible to make with another creature, even it that creature is merely a cartoon rat."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3.5/4 "Ratatouille represents another step forward for Pixar - not just on a technical level, but on an artistic one as well. Every location and character is vividly conceived and realized."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan B+ "Pixar's latest release is brilliantly animated, and a lot of fun. But it does not have a clear sense of who its audience is, and families with children who are looking for the next Finding Nemo may find themselves puzzled."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 3.5/4 "A boisterous ode to culinary delights, artistic inspiration, egalitarianism, camaraderie, family, and Paris."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 5/5 "Representa não apenas uma diversão imperdível (suas seqüências de ação são sensacionais e seu senso de humor é invejável) como também pode dar origem a discussões estimulantes sobre a natureza da Arte, do artista e do estudioso."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 4/5 "Ratatouille is stunningly animated, cleverly scripted, and genuinely humorous. Bird and Pixar have another winner on their hands."   Film Threat   Pete Vonder Haar 5/5 "Combining vivid characters with a fresh story, this is one of Pixar's best films yet."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline "In an already stellar year for animation, Ratatouille - dare I say it? - takes the cake."   Stranger Song   Rob Humanick A- "A furry, pink-tailed, and utterly irresistible affirmation of mainstream animation at its best."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux B "Once again, Pixar has crafted a quality story to go with its dazzling visualizations."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten A "There are moments of laugh aloud comedy sprinkled throughout and I had a smile firmly planted on my face from beginning to end..."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford "Complex in its simplicity. It can be summed up quickly by saying it's about a rat who helps a clumsy oaf achieve greatness in a French restaurant. But the rich themes that it covers in the process are universal and inspiring."   Movie Views   Ryan Cracknell A- "... hearty and tasty, created from fresh ingredients and cooked up with unexpected flavors and dashes of spice, and it leaves a satisfying and inspiring warmth when it's done."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker "This delicious tale of a rat who cooks is pure joy, a grand achievement -- one of the most beautiful animated pictures ever made."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek A- "Linguini gives the best physical "performance" from a CGI character to date, virtually (so to speak) rivaling the likes of Steve Martin in All of Me and Vincent D'Onofrio in Men in Black."   Decent Films Guide   Steven D. Greydanus 10/10 "Captivating, inventive and souffle-light...family audiences will eat it up!"   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger 10/10 "Simultaneously 2007's best adventure movie and its most moving coming-of-age story."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton 4/4 "At first glance, this is Bird's lightest film; upon further reflection, it deepens into perhaps his most substantive."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw 3.5/4 "A tantalizing smorgasbord that will delight the palettes of audiences of all ages with its simple moral tale about pushing beyond your social boundaries to achieve success."   Oscar Guy   Wesley Lovell 5/10 Read review   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo  (1 - 47) of 47 OFCS Rating: 96% Fresh Page   1
