Would have made my top 20 had I voted

watch Shrek then

Yeah, it did give that impression and to some extent it’s warranted but the dialogue and performances have some amazing comedic stuff. This is probably my favourite example of simultaneous dialogue as-written. Makes the whole thing seem like you’re actually watching real people and more people should do it.

Can’t remember laughing (possibly a smile once or twice) but it is indeed incredibly miserable. Good though, in a miserable way :slight_smile:

Surprised how low this is. Packs a punch for sure.

Trivia Time: Pet rats were kept at the studio in the hallway for more than a year so that the animators could study the movement of their fur, noses, ears, paws, and tails.

It is absolutely correct that Ratatouille has beaten Up

I agree, but I’m still surprised. Ratatouille never gets spoken about in the same breath as Up, Wall-E, Toy Story etc, and I think it’s a shame. It’s a cracking film.

On this forum everyone is crazy about Ratatouille.

For me it was just an average Pixar

Theo. A rat makes it as a chef. Don’t be stupid here.

I don’t know what you want from me? It’s great but it’s not Pixar at the top of their game, sorry

Never even had Ratatouille down as cannon. Should watch it with my nephew.

Top-tier Pixar IMO

Anyone been on the ratatouille ride at Disneyland Paris? It is absolutely brilliant. The restaurant it is attached to has giant corks as chairs to make you feel like a small rat

Ratatouille is a more consistent film and probably hangs together better than up, but doesn’t have the same emotional heft for me, which factored into my voting. Not at all irked about ratatouille being higher overall

You’re not correct here

Brilliant film, Casey Affleck deserved the Oscar and Michelle Williams probably should have won too. The police statement bit and the invitation to lunch bit are two of the most devastating scenes I’ve ever seen.

Didn’t they spend millions on training the crew in fine dining too. Like they sent 55 people or something on a course. Not sure that was necessary.

Anyway, Ratatouille is great but if they did spend a year with rats why have they persisted with the rat trope that rats squeak? They do if they get hurt but at no other time yet when we hear the rats talking from the old lady POV they’re squeaking. Irked.
