Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Over all the movie was amazing, but there was one major gripe. The rat was just too hot, I was constantly distracted I couldn't focus!

This film (along with Monsters Inc and toy story 2) occupies a special place in the Pixar filmography for me. I find these three films the equal of any of Ghibli's masterpieces. Superbly paced with a great central character, an outstanding villain and a sophisticated script, it's hard to find anyone finding fault with it. And it's also arguably the greatest 'food' movie ever made. Not to mention one of the finest depictions of an artist on screen.One of the all time great movies.10/10

The first thing one has to do here is get beyond the idea of a rat becoming an accomplished French chef. Having spent my entire career in the food industry, and knowing that even one mouse dropping can fail a business's health and safety inspection, I had to cast a wary eye for this animated feature. But beyond the initial hesitation, the story turned out to be fairly creative, and I enjoyed all the clever animated sequences the artists came up with to make the story work. My best takeaway was how to tell if bread is fresh by it's 'symphony of crackle'. That didn't sound like a very technical term to me, but melodious enough to make me remember it the next time I'm in a bake shop. When Remy's creation brings food critic Anton Ego all the way back to his own Mom's home cooking, it served to make Remy the toast of Paris cuisine, proving that at least in the world of Pixar, anyone can cook.

I love how soulful and simple this is, especially for Pixar. Sort of your basic guy-doing-something-he-shouldn't-be-able-to-do story, it's tender, funny and utterly joyous. The food animation is vibrant and enticing, and every single time we're in that bustling kitchen is a gem, especially when Remy is in the hat.
