Ratatouille
This is only here because so many people I know do not have children and consequently, have steered clear of the entire Pixar catalogue.
Take it from me, the minute you have children, you will come to thank Pixar, the only movie studio that regularly creates entertainment for the entire family.
Anyway, Ratatouille is not a great family film, it is truly a great film.
A young man who cannot cook finds work in an once-great restaurant. After he is charged with disposing of a recently trapped rodent, but cannot bring himself to carry out the execution. The resulting bond of this decision is developed against the back-drop of several different plot twists.
If you are a human (and I assume you are if you are reading this blog) and veeeeeery strong, you may get through the last five minutes without tears, the fourth time you watch. By then it becomes just heart-warming.
Director Brad Bird delivered what I consider to be the best movie in the Pixar catalogue (though I think Wall-E is much more cerebral). A beautiful film that leaves no stone unturned in attention to detail. This kitchen tale comes alive at the outset and remains so throughout.
Buy it HERE. And watch all the extras, they are as good as the film.
