Every now and then, The Daily Edition sits down to enjoy a fun family film. Such was the case this weekend, when I went to see Disney/Pixar's "Ratatouille."
Remy the rat has always had a nose for good food, but never got to put it to good since humans don't exactly want rodents in the kitchen. He dreams of working as a chef and finally gets his chance when he winds up in Paris. There, he stumbles upon a clueless kitchen boy named Linguini. Remy helps Linguini make a delicious soup and the two team up to create delicious dishes for a once reknowned restaurant. All along, everyone thinks Linguini is responsible for the food, when it's really his "little chef" friend hiding under his hat.
As always, Pixar mixes amazing animation with a clever story that everyone can enjoy. My only criticim: the kitchen full of rats did remind me of scenes from "The Muppets Take Manhattan." Nevertheless, still a great movie. By the way, make sure to arrive on time because the Pixar's Oscar-nominated short "Lifted" goes on before the start of the film. It's about two extraterrestrials who try to beam a sleeping man into their spacecraft without waking him up.
