It is pretty amazing what has been done with animation since I was a kid. First of all, back then (the early 80s or so) kids were lucky if a new animated film came out every 3 years or so. Now there are loads every year, so many that there is an entire Oscar category for animation. That also means that there are a lot of shit cartoons put out. However, Ratatouille is not one of them. Excellent animation, cute story. The computer-generated rats are so lifelike that they actually made me shudder at times, as I often do when I see those gross tails.
It was thus necessary to suspend disbelief when thinking about a rat becoming a 5-star chef in Paris, albeit surreptitiously. All in all, highly enjoyable and a must see.
