Film: Ratatouille
f_4_t is still on pager duty and normally, that means avoiding things like movies. Well, that went out the window tonight, with Ratatouille.
I knew in the first few minutes from the smile that affixed itself that this would be a film I gushed about. Great story, great plot and not one thing about the film felt out of place or forced. It never felt slow. Most importantly, it was fun.
Some small things I liked:
- Brief reference to Good Fellas
- When Colette is illuminated in sunlight, her white chef's jacket has the highlights blown out.
- The spacing in the cobbles along the Seine. As I saw it, I imagined that, yes, Pixar went to Paris and looked at cobblestones, among other things.
- Anton Ego's typewriter
Definitely one I'd like to see again. A definite purchase when the DVD comes out.
Trailers:
- Daddy Day Camp: Looks like crap
- Underdog: Looks less like crap
- Wall-E: The 30-second teaser trailer was enough to have me hooked for next summer.
