Ratatouille Reviews

  • New York Magazine: Ratatouille Review
    • "Brad Bird wrote and directed Ratatouille and tops his previous work. Since his work includes The Iron Giant and The Incredibles, this puts him somewhere between Chuck Jones and Michelangelo."
  • Variety: Ratatouille Review
    • ""Ratatouille" is delicious. In this satisfying, souffle-light tale of a plucky French rodent with a passion for cooking, 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 that's sure to appeal to everyone's inner Julia Child. "
  • Los Angeles Times: Ratatouille Review
    • "Brad Bird's 'Ratatouille' is so audacious you have to fall in love with its unlikely hero. If we are living in a golden age of animation — and we are — one of the reasons is writer-director Brad Bird. That's somewhat ironic, because as his new "Ratatouille" demonstrates, what makes Bird so unusual is that he doesn't really think of himself as an animator at all."
  • Premiere: Ratatouille Review (4/4)  WARNING: Pop-ups
    • "Ratatouille is, in its improbable way, a lovely and heartfelt parable about real-world tolerance and acceptance. Anyone can cook, indeed."
  • The A.V. Club: Ratatouille Review (Grade: A-)
    • "Bird and his co-writers leave room for quiet moments and gentle morals, but for the most part, they send visual gags and verbal punchlines tearing past at an enjoyably demanding speed, whipping up the film's energy at every turn. That makes it a little frothier than Bird's other films, but it's delectable nonetheless."
  • The Village Voice: Ratatouille Review
    • "Fret not, parents: Bird hasn't made one of those hipster family films that sails over the heads of its intended audience. Ratatouille is as much a feast for the senses as it is food for thought."
  • USATODAY.com: Special of the day: Remy's Ratatouille (3.5/4)
    • "The charming tale of a rat with a refined palate and culinary aspirations easily qualifies as the summer's most enjoyable family film."
  • TV Guide: Ratatouille Review (3.5/4)
    • "Everything builds to a wonderful Proustian moment of recovered memory and sensory bliss that captures the essence of culinary art while serving as the high point of a clever, ingeniously animated film filled with many shining moments."
  • The Christian Science Monitor: Back to the Kitchen for Ratatouille (Grade: B+)  WARNING: Pop-ups
    • "As usual with Pixar movies, the animation is absolutely first rate. In sequence after sequence, we are presented with visual set pieces that far exceed the imaginativeness of most live-action dramatic fare."
  • BBC Movies: Ratatouille Review (5/5)
    • "The brainchild of master animator Brad Bird (The Incredibles), Ratatouille is so much more than just another CGI critter caper. It's a thriller, a frenetic comedy, and a love story in the style of Cyrano De Bergerac"
