Today was Movie Day! My long hiatuses toward the film industry had been rather common, even toward Pixar films (I missed Cars, and have not watched it to this day). Hence, my march toward Theatre One in Plaza Singapura still cemented an air of novelty. The film that had my hour plus of undivided attention was, of course, the ever-hyped Ratatouille!
Ratatouille is about a rat, who finds his clan's stereotypical stealing practices disgusting. His sense of smell is also overwhelmingly ticklish, and can detect rat poison from all the fares his family digests. He, however, being a revolutionary rat, journeys to Paris in a cliche drainage system. He then meets a culinarily hopeless waiter and embarks with him through the world of creating fine dining dishes with their impossible French names.
The film certainly lives up to its Pixar label. The animations are not overwhelming but isn't substandard either. The plot wasn't fantastic, and subtly disorganized. A bit like sitting in the midst of middle-age women and their scurrying conversations. A quick pee in the middle of the movie proofed this point when I tried to recall the story-so-far with much difficulty.
What saved the movie was the dominating humor slices, never ceasing to unlock the rivers of the viewers laughter. And of course, who could forget, the charming protagonist Remy, who consistently endeared the audience with his reality cuteness.
After 7 years of hard work Ratatouille is an awesome success and is definitely worth a move of ass from the couch in front of the teevee to a cosy cinema seat. Even in rainy weather.

I think the reason why the movie seemed disjointed was because it changed director halfway through.
