Who would ever think that a story of how a rat (Remy) becomes a successful chef for humans, would ever click with the audience?
PIXAR.
They risked it, and it works.
Awesome animation, witty humor, and a fun-filled plot mixed with emotional overtones, make this comedy movie a definite
worth see.
Cheers to whoever thought of the story.
Hats off to PIXAR, and Brad
Bird (director) for taking a simple plot, and turning it into a blockbuster.
Watching this
movie will either inspire you to become a chef yourself, or make you want to
grab a bite of soup and pasta.
Lou Romano’s rendition of Alfredo Linguini is
excellent, although Alfredo should have been a little less dippy. Janeane Garofalo
plays a very nice Collette, and the romance that blossoms between her and
Alfredo, leaves little to ask for.
The camaraderie between Remy and Alfredo is
very well done, as it develops throughout the plot.
One of the most striking scenes, is when Alfredo sets Remy free. Remy runs away trying to escape, but after going a short distance, realizes his mistake.
He turns back and returns to Alfredo, who has such an adorable look of helplessness on his face, it really brings the cartoon characters close to heart.
Definitely worth a dekko, with family, friends,
date, even alone.
Warning: Make sure you’re not far away from a source of
food, cos this movie’s gonna make you want to eat more.
And remember: Anyone can cook.
Cheers!
