Someone was asking for a review? Here ya go. I wrote this. Hope you like it. If you want it in audio feel free to use it. Creative Commons share and share alike applies here. Use it. Change it. Give credit. Don’t charge for it.
My review:
Rat. a. too. ee: A review for the geeks in the audience with junior-geeks
in training.
First is it sci-fi? No. It’s a rat cooking That’s fantasy! (assuming
you’ve never worked in the same kitchens I have, but that’s another story
about a different type of rat!)
This film is a tale of acceptance and striving to be more and the trials
and pains that one faces along the way. Our protagonist (a rat of all
things) is torn by conflicting pulls of ambition, friendship, and family.
Along the way he makes his mistakes until he, his friend, and his family
come together to find the one solution to solve the problem of
conflicting needs and desires.
The story in brief is that of a rat of sophisticated tastes who finds
himself in Paris facing death at the hands of a ‘garbage boy’ from a
French bistro, who himself may have ambitions of the culinary sort. We are
carried along as the two learn to work together to become a team and thus
a great chef. They run afoul of the bistros lead chef and through a chance
of fate and locked food safes become an even greater success. In the end
we have a team of a chef and a rollerskating waiter, who together find
great personal reward despite a great professional loss.
Being a Pixar work this film delivers on expectations of quality in the
visuals as well as in voice acting. Each performer plays their role, they
don’t just give a voice over that lays over footage from an animated film
[coughshrek.] Particularly rewarding for this reviewer were the following
shots where a virtual camera follows the action through the scene in a
single cut, where a conventional camera could never go. For those who
loved the opening scene from James Camerons and and Kathryn Bigelows
Strange Days you will find a visual thrill here.
In the end this is a should see for parents and their offspring ages five
or so and up. The humans and rats in the film don’t deliver the same
appeal for the two to four year olds that we once found in living toys amd
talking cars. For anyone who has ever worked ia kitchen you will see get a
special treat seeing a familiar place as the setting for this enjoyable
story.

I love how Charlie got didn’t originally get mentioned, but I did, and all you hear of me is giggling. I have NO idea how that happened!

Sounds like someone needs to give up the subtext next time Charlie visits to make up for it.
July 18th, 2007 at 6:26 am
Subtext will get you in the end.
July 18th, 2007 at 6:36 am
Eliza or Debbie would probably have better subtext.
July 18th, 2007 at 7:17 am
Nah, I’m not cut out for subtext. I’m more of an observer than an active participant.

Charlie was definitely there. He was singing along to the evil song. The purple dinosaur will not be mentioned again…..along with the movie which cannot be named.
BTW. I stopped watching the movie containing Hippie lettuce at the point of the bad editing. The story was just as bad (five minutes into the program).
Was Debbie talking about the studio being decorated in a 60’s theme, or with guns?

Knives, swords and a spear OH MY!
Lots of daggers, all shiny and pointy!
