Ratatouille

Took BooBerry to see Ratatouille yesterday. As it is with any Pixar film, the theater was about half kiddos and half adults sans kiddos.

For those who haven't seen it yet - it really isn't a kiddie film. Not that the subject matter is scandalous; rather, I highly doubt most of the little ones in the theater understood the intricacies of restauant-kitchen dos and don'ts (and with the Food Network, Top Chef and Hell's Kitchen, it's become as familiar as our own home kitchens today). Also, much of the cooking humor was lost on them.

BooBerry was antsy 1/2-hour into the movie -- I, of course, made her tough it out 'til the end.

So anyone under, say, 6 -- it'd be better as a rental.

Of all the Pixar movies, the animation was greatest here. One of Pixar's best moves is that the artists don't attempt to make the human characters look, well, human (and anyone who's seen The Polar Express can attest to the fact that humans + computer animation = FREAKY). Rather, Pixar makes them look like caricatures of humans. Thumbs up, guys.

By the way, one of my perennial favorites, Janeane Garofalo, played love interest "Colette" -- I never would have recognized her under that faux French accent. It was so thick you could cut it with a outil.
