Movie Review: Ratatouille

We took the Little Joggers to see Ratatouille, the new Pixar movie, last night. Pixar doesn't do bad movies. They range from good (Cars, A Bug's Life) to great (Toy Story, Toy Story 2, Finding Nemo). This one is well along the spectrum towards great. It was funny, interesting, and enjoyable. The plot was complex enough to keep you guessing, but not too complex for the littlest Little Jogger. Like all kids movies, it has a few fairly simple morals, but it doesn't get too heavy handed with them.

The animation was incredible, of course. But Pixar long ago figured out that great animation doesn't make a great movie. They just tell good stories, that's all. This one is definitely a keeper.
