Ratatouille

Who's in it? Ian Holm, Brian Dennehy, Peter O'Toole, Janeane Garofalo
What's it about? A young rat dreams of becoming chef and find an unlikely ally in a restaurant's new garbage boy who  helps him make it a reality.
What type of film is it? Animation
Is it any good? It’s great fun and easy to fall in love with. Some critics are calling it the best Disney Pixar film ever but I think that honour still belongs to either Monsters Inc or The Incredibles. The characters are adorable and there’s more than enough here to keep kids and adults entertained. However at 110 minutes duration, it feels a touch long – and some younger viewers might get fidgety. Still, it’s one of the best family films of the year and well worth the price of a cinema ticket.
