One key point: if you can get over the natural gag reflex of seeing hundreds of rodents swarming over a restaurant kitchen, you will be free to enjoy the glory of Ratatouille, a delectable Pixar hit. Our hero is Remy, a French rat (voiced by Patton Oswalt) with a cultivated palate, who rises from his humble beginnings to become head chef at a Paris restaurant. How this happens is the stuff of Pixar magic, that ineffable blend of headlong comedy, seamless technology, and wonder (in the latter department, this movie's views of nighttime Paris are on a par with French cinema at its most lyrical). Director Brad Bird (The Incredibles) doesn't quite keep all his spinning plates in the air, but the gags are great and the animation amazingly expressive--Remy's shrugs and nods are nimbler than many flesh-and-blood actors can manage. Refreshingly, the movie's characters aren't celebrity-reliant, with the most recognizable voice coming from Peter O'Toole's snide food critic. (This fellow provides the film's sole sour note--an oddly pointed slap at critics, those craven souls who have done nothing but rave about Pixar's movies over the years.) Brad Bird's style is more quick-hit and less resonant than the approach of Pixar honcho John Lasseter, but it's hard to complain about a movie that cooks up such bountiful pleasure. --Robert Horton

I ordered this on a saturday got it on a the following monday awesome delivery time amazon!

Seller was great - product came quickly and was in perfect condition, as described. Excellent rating!

This movie was a nice idea but if you really think about it its really gross! I mean rats in the kitchen? Thats not even legal! Yet someone at Disney Pixar thinks its a good idea to fill the minds of impressionable young children with images of keeping unsanitary rodents in a place where sanitation should be the top priority! Harmless and charming, I think not! But the concepts in the story dealing with actual people are charming and the movie does a magnificent job of showing what professional kitchens really and truly are like. So if your interested in that idea, carry on but if you want a movie where people keep cute little pets, this is the wrong movie because the rats are not cute, they are disgusting!

Excellant service. Product arrived in perfect condition. I would definitely purchase more products from this seller.
