Pixar has always been great in creating unique stories with unlikely characters. Whether it’s toys, monsters or even cars, Pixar has proven innovators in computer animation genre through visuals and storytelling. Their newest film Ratatouille, released over the summer, is no exception.

Ratatouille tells the tale of a rat who dreams of becoming a chef. After getting separated from his family, Remy the rat finds himself scared and all alone in Paris. That is until he stumbles upon the restaurant of his idol, the famous Chef Gusteau. Here Remy meets Linguini, a hapless lost soul who has just arrived looking for a job. Linguini may also be the son of the now recently deceased Chef Gusteau.
After Remy saves Linguini’s horrible soup, Remy and Linguini make an unlikely partnership. With Remy’s nose for cooking and Linguini’s, well, with Linguini being human, they join forces to become the top chef of Par-ee.
Pixar has created yet another great tale with Ratatouille and it now arrives onto DVD. As with all the Pixar films, the Ratatouille DVD is full of bonus materials. Everything from deleted scenes to the documentary entitled, “Fine Food & Film.” If that isn’t enough there’s the animated short “Lifted” that appeared before the film when it originally appeared in the theater.
But that’s not all, special for this DVD (and is not included in the Pixar Short Films Collection Volume 1 DVD) is a new animated short with our favorite chef Remy and his brother Emile.
Pixar and Brad Bird, the creator of the short-lived Family Dog series (one of my all time favorite animated TV shows) and the Pixar film, The Incredibles, has once again delivered animation bliss. So pick up the movie that proves anyone can cook, including a rat. Powered by AkoComment 2.0! |
