Pixar Review: Ratatouille (Tomorrow: Finding Dory)

Hello, and welcome to The Chronicles of Trevor, the ONLY blog that is like a delicious meal at a fancy restaurant, without the pesky prices! 

Today, I'm reviewing Ratatouille, a 2007 film named one of the 100 greatest films of the 21st century by the BBC and international film critics. But are the Beeb correct, or is this film as horrid as seeing the price of a dinner at Chez Monyou? (The 'tIkTOk MuSIcaL' is the latter). No. I'm not kidding, Disney and Pixar actually helped premiere a musical based on the film, written by users of TikTok. It's as bad as you'd think.
Why, Pixar?! This would be like putting Genshin Impact gameplay in a show about Zelda, disguised as Breath of the Wild, but considering how similar the first world of the former looks similar to Hyrule in the latter...
...it wouldn't really be noticed by many.

But I digress. Is Ratatouille a good film, or is it as bad as figuring out that a rat made your dinner? Stay tuned to find out...

This 2007 animated culinary comedy tells the story of Remy, a determined young rat who dreams of becoming a successful French chef.

Before my watch, I can tell you that I enjoyed it when I was younger, and that I enjoyed the cooking sequences. But will I enjoy it now? Stay here and find out.

But first, a slight update! Tomorrow, after I go bowling (I go every Monday), I will review Finding Dory.

And now, to tell you what I think about this film.



Surprisingly, it opens with the 1995 variant of the Walt Disney Pictures logo, even though this film came out 1 year after Disney introduced its CG Castle with the then-new Pirates of the Carribean film. The music, by Michael Giacchino, is excellent. Take for instance that one scene where Remy was scampering underneath Paris. The flute flourish playing throughout really fits the path that Remy took like a glove on a chef. Also the 100% Genuine Animation! that Pixar used to make this masterpiece was really well crafted, especially the closing credits. They just seem to love to flex their RenderMan and Marionette systems and make timeless scenes that entertain and hold up even into the far future!

I'd give this film ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!

Tomorrow, I'll be reviewing Finding Dory, a movie that, when it was screened in a theater in Florida, said theater accidentally played the red-band trailer for the animated R-rated film Sausage Party.

Red Band trailers are previews for R or NC-17 films that have a bright red screen instead of the usual green screen (green band) that opens normal previews. These trailers usually contain language and other content that wouldn't be shown in a green band trailer. This is an example of a red-band trailer's opening screen.
BUT, I digress. Expect a review of Finding Dory tomorrow night!
