Film review: Ratatouille

Ratatouille @ IMDB

It's hard to approach a review for a Pixar film. Everyone knows they're going to be, at the very least, very enjoyable. Kids will love them and they will make a ton of money.

So it goes for their newest film, Ratatouille, the tale of a rat in Paris that wants to be a chef.

Is it a Toy Story 2? No. But that doesn't matter, it's a great kids film. It doesn't resonate like Finding Nemo does but the story is great, the characters interesting. The film looks amazing, yet again. Somehow Pixar manage to find something else to improve with each film: the food looks amazing, photo realistic in some instances.

The main problem? The length. It is very long for a kids film. I took my son to see this film (his first time at the cinema, no less) and I was worried about whether or not he could sit through all 110 minutes.

To the credit of the film, he near enough did. Only started acting up a couple of minutes from the end.

There's the best review of the film. A three year old was entranced and watched 108 minutes of film before acting up.

It seems strange allocating a ninja weapon for a kids film but what the hell, I'll give this one a meat tenderiser.
