Advantages: Fun for the whole family, high quality, adorable, funny, charming, great plot

Disadvantages: None that I can think of!

I am a film lover in general and aside from thrillers and horror films I also have a real weakness for animation. From the moment I saw the trailer in the cinema I wanted to watch it and I did within the first week of its release. I have to say it didn't dissapoint. Now I have also acquired Ratatouille on DVD as a birthday present and, having watched it again, my opinion hasn't changed. I think one of the things that I find most charming is how the film seems to be a marriage of old school Disney charm and modern animation. The quality and effects are every bit as good as that of its other Pixar counterparts, but aside from that there is also something else...perhaps the romance of Paris as its main setting, perhaps the undeniable humour or originality of choosing rats for the leading roles - first time ever, I think. Perhaps, but I might be biased here as it is probably one of my favourite Disney characters ever - it is simply Remy whose innocent and honest demeanour appeals from the very first second. Whatever it is, it's the kind of good old-fashioned Disney you could watch over and over again. One funny and cute but also sophisticated enough to appeal to both kids and adults. A great all-round family film.

Summary: Charming and funny Discney film combines old school and modern.
