Pixar's "Ratatouille" Film [Merged Threads]

No harm, no foul. I'm just going after a movie I didn't care for, not the people who enjoyed it, of which there appear to be many.

Thanks for understanding.

We were late to seeing this film - I was expecting to love it.

I couldn't believe it when I was so disappointed in it. Could have been assisted by the crowd in the theatre. No one laughed. No one.

And the kids were extremely bored (ages 6 & 10). These kids are Disney\Pixar fanatics - they couldn't believe it either. The 6 year old kept asking me when it was going to end......

I sometimes found the French accents very hard to interpret. Plus - I couldn't suspend my belief that rats could be lovable characters - especially during the "colony" scenes!

Oh well - I guess there's bound to be a clunker, even in Pixar films (in our humble opinion of course).

We did come out with a favorite line:

Girl Chef: You will keep your station clean, or I will KILL you.

Silly - but the best line of the movie!

And you can't forget:

"We hate to be rude, but we're French" Coming from a British family, I cracked up.

As for the movie, I felt that it was overall, very solid, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I got that warm, fuzzy feeling that I always get after a Pixar film. Definitely not my favorite, but I was still pleased at what Pixar accomplished.

Really looking forward to "Wall E" since I'm going through a robot-loving phase after seeing Transformers. Can't wait!

Kourtney and I finally went to see the movie yesterday. We both thought it was a great movie.

That is the exact experience we had...

Nice to know I'm not alone.

We finally got to the movies to see it yesterday. I wanted to like it, but it was just ok....could have skipped it and not missed it.

Well, I took our DD (6) and DS (almost 5) to see it for the second time. They love it just as much as the first time. My daughter just had her birthday and went to Party City. Her pick? A Ratatouille party! Yes, Remy Remy everywhere! This was one of my favorite Disney movies. I think it is like every other movie, every one has their own opinion. As for our house, we have 4 !

Now I just have to convince my daughter we cannot go to Paris to see the rats...

I saw it twice. The first time with my grandparents and younger cousins, and the second time with my friends (18-19 years old) and we all liked it. It's definitely not my favorite, but my whole room is decorated to look like Paris (I'm obsessed) and the scenes were amazing. Especially at night...beautiful. I really like Colette and Linguini, which made the movie for me. Remy was cute but the other rats were just annoying.

By the way, I read all of the Pirates of the Caribbean books after I saw the movies and it really helped me to enjoy it better, so I bought the book for Ratatouille, and I must admit that it made the whole story better for me.

All in all, it was cute and people of all ages can enjoy it.

I just saw Ratatouille, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

My question relates to after the movie being over: Did anyone else leave the movie dying for some gourmet cheese, etc.? After we left the theatre my family and I headed straight out for gourmet cheese & chocolate.

Did anyone else yearn for gourmet foods after seeing the movie?

I have yet to see the movie... I will once the DVD comes out...
