Ratatouille [Brings a hearty meal]

Let’s take a look at Brad Bird’s general track record. He involved himself The Simpsons episodes pre-Season Ten, during a time when that show was worth religiously sitting your ass down for (though I admit continuously doing this through nostalgic fan support), he made the Iron Giant, a fantastic film of a boy and his giant robot, and recently, he took his brainchild to Pixar and created The Incredibles which was incredible, among others--not to mention he spoke on his high level of respect towards animation which I wholeheartedly agree on. Well, I’m here to tell you that his next film (originally Jan Pinkava’s idea before passing it onto Brad Bird), Ratatouille (aside from being a pun) is every bit as good as you’d expect from the minds of Pixar (and Brad Bird).

It was great satisfaction that my hope for Brad Bird (one of the few people I have high expectations and respect for) to create another winner came into fruition...and it did. I usually wait till a movie’s out for a week or two because I can’t handle the large amounts of crowds and even worse--considering the film is an all-age animation--children. Movie theaters breed annoying, talkative children, but I didn’t care (not to mention there were surprisingly quiet). Brad Bird’s involvement with the film, the fact that it came out of Pixar demands I go as soon as possible, sit my ass down, watch the movie, and come out with a wide smile on my face.
