Overall Thoughts:
Ratatouille overall is one of the most flawless movies ever made. Every aspect of the movie is working at a very high level. There is no wasted time and it is extremely well written. There is a great mix of comedy and drama. It is fun for the whole family.
The animation is almost 17 years old and it is still some of the best animation that is in film. Throughout most of the movie there is a very warm lighting that adds to the comfy feeling throughout the movie.
The characters are also very good. Anton Ego is one of the best antagonists in all of movies and he is only in the movie for a few minutes but when he is on screen he is incredibly imposing. An important reason for the characters being so good is the voice acting is magnificent.
The score compliments the film in a very good way. The movie takes place in France and most the score sounds authentically French. It also includes French singer Camille on a song. The score also amplifies the emotion and feelings of the scene when it is playing.
The overall takeaway from the movie is “Anyone can cook” which might not sound like much but it is a really good message because outside of the movie it means that anyone can do anything as long as they work hard enough. The movie is very sweet
