Ratatouille.2007 ~repack~

Released on June 29, 2007, this Brad Bird-directed gem was a gamble. A film about a rat who wants to cook, set in the snobbish world of Parisian haute cuisine, did not scream "blockbuster toy commercial" in the way a film about cars or superheroes might.

Ratatouille is not a movie about a rat. It is a movie about the fear of failure. It is about the immigrant experience (Linguini is a lost boy; Remy is a creature in a world that hates him). It is about the war between novelty and tradition. It is also, quietly, a movie about death

Remy is a rat with a superhuman sense of smell and a dangerous obsession: haute cuisine. Inspired by the late chef Auguste Gusteau ("Anyone can cook"), Remy finds himself separated from his colony and literally thrown into the sewers of Paris.
