film: Ratatouille

don't let the cliche movie poster throw you. this is a well written, and fantastically animated cg feature from pixar.
brad bird really knows how to treat a story as well as the computers he uses to come up with ideal cg adventure/comedies. along with his previous effort, "the incredibles", he's managed to combine action thrills and enough humour to entertain audiences of all ages, all wrapped in a solid story that doesn't resort to cheap tricks, cliches or deus ex machina.
the computer animation is second to none, as they manage to both humanise AND retain very natural and subtle nuances of rat behaviour. i know this as i used to have a pet rat, and these guys were very authentic.
highly recommended!
