Ryan's Review of Ratatouille (we took Rylie last night)

As most of the reviews you will read will tell you, Ratatouille has a great story that is fun, engaging and has a heart- a quality for which Pixar movies are known. However, in the reviews I've read I haven't discovered much talk about the quality of animation in this movie- and it is breath-taking! There were moments when I sat there just marveling at how crisp, colorful and beautiful this Pixar movie is. Many scenes look like rich paintings and all of the motion of the characters is extremely fluid and life-like (unlike some of the earlier Pixar movies in which the movement of the human characters were especially herky-jerky). Needless to say, the folks at Pixar have outdone themselves again and the anitmation seems to have taken a huge step forward. As for whether or not your kids will like this move- my two year old daughter lasted through the entire movie and as we left the theater she was yelling " 'dat was GREAT!" I heartily agree!
