★★★★★★★★★★ [ 10/10 ]
A True Masterpiece:
Ratatouille is easily one of the best Disney/Pixar movies. The only other animated movie which comes close in terms of overall quality is Frozen. One of the ironic things is that one of the main themes of the movie is the critique of criticism itself (I'm alluding to the ending monologue of Mr. Ego). It has so many facets which ultimately make the movie truly interesting/remarkable: a rat with an identity crisis, a vengeful ex-employer a.k.a. the arch-enemy; a ghastly looking food critic named Anton Ego, a supportive rat family, Linguini's conflict of heart and the fact that he's leading a double-life are just some of the reasons why I decided to give this movie a 10/10. I didn't expect the movie to be this good but it suffices to say that I'm glad that I gave it a watch. You should give it a watch too if you haven't already. This is definitely not just a "children's movie". It's a storytelling masterpiece.
Final verdict: highly recommended
