Ratatouille: A must watch for animation lovers. Review on Ratatouille Movie

If you like animation movies, then you must not miss this movie. It is one of my favourite animation films and let me tell you that I have watched almost all animation movies. Although the film did not go on to become the biggest grosser like many animation movies do, but I still think it is a must watch.

The movie talks of a small rat named Remy, who is inspired by a human cook to such an extent that he wants to become a cook himself. The problem it faces is that it is a rat and no one will accept a rat as a cook. He faces huge opposition from his community but that doesn’t deter him from dreaming big and believe in the saying of his idol that, “Anyone can cook”. And luck is in his favour and he lands up in the same restaurant which was owned by his idol. Under the grief of discovering that his guru is no more alive, it is up to him to save the restaurant and bring it back to the past glory. In his journey to fulfill his dreams he faces various difficulties but ultimately comes out as a winner. He also finds a buddy in a human, who through the rat’s help regains confidence in himself and in turn helps Remy in fulfilling his culinary dreams. Set in the background of Paris, it is a story of a rat which had the courage to fight his fears and chase its dreams with full might. I can’t reveal much of story because it will spoil the fun watching it.

Now how it scores high on my list of animation movies because of a great story line, consistent pace, great background music and strong characterization.

Like most animation movies, this story also comes with a message- “No matter what people have to say about you, if you believe in your abilities and dreams then no roadblock is big.” And after “Who moved my Cheese?” and this movie, I truly believe that we humans have a lot to learn from these rats. J Hats off to the writer of this movie to come up with such a story in the first place – Rats that also a cook, would be last thought to cross my mind! Coupled with awesome animations, characters’ expressions and comic timings the movie turns out to be a wonderful entertainer. By the end of the movie you will forget that you are watching an animated movie.

And if you are wondering what is “Ratatouille”, well, find it yourself.
