I think my favorite part was when the rats threw the health inspector into the cold room. When he walked in and saw all those rats cooking I laughed my ass off. I found it to be a little slow in the middle but an over all feeling of contentment when I walked out of the cinema. The attention to detail and the way they discussed the layers of flavor in food was awesome. I found the whole Remy pulling his hair to control his arms a bit far fetched though. I loved the movie.

It was up till that point sweet, very clever, but perhaps all a little too Disney. But that one moment, that flashback in the best Proustian manner, brought a fugitive tear to both our eyes. It was very well done, and made us regret that the makers hadn't aimed a little higher for the rest of the film. glad to see you had the same reaction at the same moment that we did in Ratatouille.

Maybe I should have tried a bit harder, then I might have met a foxy chef with a fast bike...

But I'm sure Pixar would've managed to make him look cute all the same. I can just see it now.. Craig the Cockroach...! Haha Yes!

The idea of the rat in the kitchen seems so thoroughly wrong... Strange that we should feel any more positive about a mouse in the kitchen, but I shared your misnaming problem. Now, a cockroach would most certainly not have worked in this movie! (I hope everyone agrees on that one. LOL) I know what you mean, Y!

Loved the cheese grating, and Keller's version of ratatouille. And I still can't get over the fact that Remy is a rat.. keep referring to him as 'the mouse'.
