Disney/Pixar killed it again. Cars was cool but it dragged a bit in the middle, this movie is non-stop though! The storyline was great and the chase scenes were incredible: sewer, kitchen, rooftops???each one action-packed. Animation is so on point, it was hard to believe that some of those were computer animated shots. I sensed some Le Triplettes De Belleville and Amelie influence, too (beyond the Paris setting). I swear the sous chef looked just like Dominique Pinon (Delicatessen/Amelie). I wish they would???ve casted them, though. (Although, Janeane Garofalo did a great job with her pseudo-French accent.)Anyways, highly recommended from this Disney fanboy.Por favor believe it.

    Just saw this yesterday with the fam. I didn't think I was gonna enjoy it too much but I was wrong. It was really good. Anyone else finding they like kids movies more than the boolshyte Hollywood is kicking out? I know I do.

    My son is all into it. He's only 5 and already shutting it down with the video games! I've actually had to ask him for help on a game before.
    Shit is crazy.

    Make sure you watch the ending credits. No outtakes this time, but the entire sequence is animated completely different than the movie. Old school, too, meaning by hand, no computer animation (at least it looked that way).

    Probably gonna derail my own thread, but Transformers tonight at 8pm. Who???s going?

    More importantly. HARRY POTTER NEXT WEDNESDAY! Man I hope to God there???s a midnight showing here.

    Both those cartoons were actually played/made for adults & children back in those days. Sometimes played in between bigger features.

    and the chicks always looked hot (no homo) on most of those cartoons.

    I love that classic look on the ladies, instead of what we see nowadays. I know, I know, they're cartoons.



    I got the DVD for a $1! The best fucking dollar I have ever spent.

    ratatouille = Dope!

    Saw this a couple days ago and definitely enjoyed it. Me and my girlfriend liked the Incredibles too so this one was pretty much a sureshot.

    On another movie related note , 1408 = waste of time.

    I took absolutely NOTHING from this movie.... things just didn't make sense and the "oh wow ending" was not special. I like John Cusack but it seemed like Sam Jackson (who was only in the movie so people would go watch it based on the trailers) hyped up the room so much and it was actually more frightening waiting for things to happen in the room then it was when the shit actually happens.

    Word - wifey and I really enjoyed "Ratatouille". We couldn't get into "Cars" at all so it's nice to see Pixar return to form.

    Plus, having Thomas Keller serve as the cooking consultant?

    Not to hate but I'm not exactly clear what Bruni's point is here except to say, "the movie's representation of food critics wasn't entirely accurate since I don't live in a coffin-shaped room nor do I dine alone."

    THis is what happens when decent writers go blogging.

  • Yeah Ratatouile was a big laugh, saw it twice already.
    Goes straight to my DVD checklist (o.k. dont ask)

    Going to see this with the woman perhaps this weekend.

    Who ever mentioned "Triplet of Belville" I want to cosign. That one will always be at the top of my list. The music in it was so good and complimented the animation style really well.
