WHEN Disney and Pixar get together to create an animated cartoon, they set out to create a classic.
And that is exactly what Ratatouille will become.

The story revolves around a rat called Remy (Patton Oswalt) who aspires to become a chef - not your usual 'job' for a rat.

Remy posseses a better than average sense of smell that promotes him to rat poison officer in his colony, but he is destined for great things, and when he gets separated from the colony, he begins talking to the late great chef Auguste Gusteau - a figment of his imagination.

After listening to Gusteau (Brad Garrett), he rises from the sewer and finds himself in the kitchen of his hero's Parisian restaurant.

But when the new garbage boy Linguine (yes, he's named after a pasta) tips the soup on the floor, Remy's extra special sense of smell gets him into trouble in the kitchen when he unknowingly creates a masterpiece.

It's Linguine who gets the credit for Remy's cooking however, and when he is asked to recreate the dish, he forms an unlikely friendship with Remy who teaches him to cook by making him act as his puppet.

And as Remy and Linguine's success grows, they get a visit from Anton Ego (Peter O'Toole), the gaunt critic whose devastating review caused Gusteau's demise.

Ratatouille ranks amoung Pixar's finest films and is artfully created, funny, and is an unusal story that can be loved by children and adults alike.

Anyone who manages to make a rat look cute, deserves high praise indeed, and after the hilarity of Ratatouille you will be wanting your very own Remy - and possibly a plate full of Ratatouille.

This film serves up the best script, with a dash of comedy and a pinch of romance, to create the perfect dish.
