Plot Summary: Academy Award®-winning director Brad Bird ("The Incredibles") and the amazing storytellers at Pixar Animation Studios ("Cars," "Finding Nemo") take you into an entirely new and original world where the unthinkable combination
of a rat and a 5-star gourmet restaurant come together for the ultimate fish-out-of-water
tale.
In the hilarious new animated-adventure, "Ratatouille," a rat named Remy dreams
of becoming a great chef despite his family's wishes and the obvious problem
of being a rat in a decidedly rodent-phobic profession. When fate places Remy
in the city of Paris, he finds himself ideally situated beneath a restaurant
made famous by his culinary hero, Auguste Gusteau. Despite the apparent dangers
of being an unwanted visitor in the kitchen at one of Paris' most exclusive restaurants,
Remy forms an unlikely partnership with Linguini, the garbage boy, who inadvertently
discovers Remy's amazing talents. They strike a deal, ultimately setting into
motion a hilarious and exciting chain of extraordinary events that turns the
culinary world of Paris upside down.
Remy finds himself torn between following his dreams or returning forever to
his previous existence as a rat. He learns the truth about friendship, family
and having no choice but to be who he really is, a rat who wants to be a chef.

"Ratatouille" is
delicious.
Justin Chang
Variety
The master chefs at Pixar have blended all the right ingredients
-- abundant verbal and visual wit, genius slapstick timing, a soupcon
of Gallic sophistication -- to produce a warm and irresistible concoction.
It's always a pleasure to walk into a new movie from Pixar: Grade
B

Entertainment Weekly
Ratatouille has the Pixar technical magic without, somehow, the
full Pixar flavor. It's Brad Bird's genial dessert, not so much
incredible as merely sweetly edible.
A hilarious and heartfelt wonder... something to cheer.
Peter Travers
Rolling Stone
What makes Ratatouille such a hilarious and heartfelt wonder is
the way Bird contrives to let it sneak up on you. And get a load
of that score from Michael Giacchino, a perfect compliment to a
delicious meal.
