Ratatouille Review

So I'm sure that by now you've seen the numbers from this weekend's opening of Pixar's "Ratatouille."



I'm sure you've heard that the film only had the 5th strongest opening for a Pixar film, and that the end of the world is near.

The simple fact is that Pixar couldn't keep the streak going that it had created. It's just too much to continue to best your previous film, and the fact that they did it for as long as they did, prior to the release of "Cars," is an amazing accomplishment. It should also be noted that a $47 million dollar opening is nothing to sneeze at, and I'm sure the film will go on to break the $200 million mark.

The film is amazing. Stunning even. It's a masterpiece in every sense of the word. While I'd still rank it behind "The Incredibles" and "Finding Nemo," it's nothing short of brilliant. I saw it on Saturday and will probably see it again tonight. In fact I hope to see it 3 or 4 times before it leaves theaters, simply because it's just an amazing motion picture that should be taken in on the largest screen possible.

So don't read too much into the opening numbers. The film is just as good as anything Pixar has done before, and worth every penny of your ticket.
