Ratatouille

Remy is a young rat in the French countryside who arrives in Paris, only to find out that his cooking idol is dead. When he makes an unusual alliance with a restaurant's new garbage boy, the culinary and personal adventures begin despite Remy's family's skepticism and the rat-hating world of humans.

 

Ratatouille trailer

Gusteau: What do I always say? Anyone can cook.
Remy: Yeah. Anyone can, that doesn't mean that anyone should.

Ratatouille (Rat-a-tou-ee) 五星級大鼠is a very interesting movie.  I went watching it with Tung Tung, Esther and Curtis, all minors, 4.5 year, 16 year & 10 year-old.  Remy is so cute that you forget he's a rat. 

The technique of making animated movie these days left you speechless.  Look at the fur/hair on Remy and the other rats, you think you are really watching a talking rat.

The story went on smoothly and no matter how old you are, you laugh with it.

Ratatouille is a French dish. The name is comprised of two components:

  • "rata" is slang from the French Army meaning "chunky stew"

  • touiller, "to stir"

Thus, the meaning of the word is a chunky stew that is stirred.
