The Pixar List - Ratatouille - Rank 11

11th - Ratatouille, 2007

iBrow Percentage: 83

 

A rat by the name of Remy has always dreamed of becoming a chef, and when he discovers upon arrival in Paris that his idol is dead, he forms an unusual alliance with a human by the name of Linguini to set the bar and stun the customers, despite the human populace's hatred of rats.

 

Ratatouille... I don't quite know, to be honest. The concept just isn't one that interests me all that much, and as such, I have a hard time enjoying the film as much as others. While Remy is, I will admit, pretty cool, I dislike the fact that he can (and must) control human beings, and even more than that, I hate the fact that those human beings must rely on (and obey) a rat in order to cook.

 

One thing I will give Ratatouille is that, unlike Cars 2, it does have the Pixar magic inside waiting for you to discover. Unlike Wall-E, Rataouille also manages to stay consistent throughout the film. As another thought, any animated film that has dishes I wish I could rip out of the screen and eat myself immediately gains points. They did the food spectacularly. However, the fact remains that out of the two stars of the film, only one of them is worth paying attention to- and that is Remy the Rat. If Linguini's love story were to be removed from the film and more focus were to be given to Remy as a result, I think the movie would be far better than it is right now. Unfortunately, the rather unnecessary edition of the romance keeps this film as average.

 

I realize that the romance is something I've criticized with both Ratouille and Wall-E; but please don't think I hate romance. I think The Incredibles does a fine job of it, and I enjoyed it in Toy Story 3, Monsters. Inc., and A Bug's Life just to name Pixar films. So... it's just that these two films didn't need the romance (Ratatouille) or simply didn't do it well (Wall-E).

 

That's my thoughts in short of Ratatouille. If you have any comments or questions regarding my thoughts, please comment below. Now... for your hint towards the film that ranked tenth:

 

to infinity...

 

And now, of course, the explanation of the hint leading to Ratatouille:

 

chardonnay bourgogne

 

It was the name of a wine to be released by Disney and Pixar in promotion for the film, but was pulled due to featuring a cartoon character.

 

please join MAFIA III-3! only five spots left!

The fact that 10 is one of the Toy Story movies makes me even angrier than this being at 11. xP

 

This list is bad and you should feel bad.

 

ALL OF THIS.

 

You were smart for the first two spots but NOOOOO. You just had to disrespect the rat and what is probably the greatest trilogy ever, though it might be second to the Dark Knight thingamajig.

 

But yeah, $5 says the next one is the first Toy Story. And then once you have felt the pure shame of nos. 11 and 10, you will have my permission to die.

I agree with this list so far. That is all.

 

No but really, Ratatouille was all right. I liked it better than the impression previews gave me (though it did take me until it premiered on TV to actually see it), but these are still some of the weaker characters Pixar has presented.

It seems people aren't listening when I say that everything above Cars 2 is phenomenal anyway. I have reasons, sheesh.

 

Yes, but you're WRONG!

 

A Bug's Life is supposed to come after WALL-E, (though I would actually rank it 12th) then Toy Story (so I guess if that's next, I actually agree), then Cars.

 

But yeah, Cars 2 is the only bad/mediocre one.

I'm just wondering how Wall-E, this, and one of the Toy Story movies are getting wiped off but the original Cars hasn't yet. Cars is good, but it doesn't come close to any of those.

I'm just sitting here wondering why you're using the spanish version of the cover.

 

That's all I really have to say about that.

 

It's pretty much identical to the English cover (minus, obviously, the text on top), and thus I didn't actually notice until it was on the blog. However, it's also the one sentence in Spanish I can read and understand. =P

 

To everyone else: this is opinion- and opinion is never right nor wrong. Just keep that in mind. I did say that at the beginning, and I did say some of you might not like where I rate some of the films.

Yeah, you're mostly right.

 

BUT STILL WRONG!

 

This list makes me wanna cry. *sheds a tear*

I am gonna guess that this next one will be Toy Story 2. I feel like that is the weakest in the trilogy...

 

But it is still better then Cars. D=

<span style='color: #4b0082'><strong class='bbc'>I think when everyone except Dorek disagrees with you, the phrase 'wrong opinion' is slightly more than a joke. =P</strong></span>

My opinion is valid too >:

 

Cars was aight. I would probably put it above Ratatouille, but only in the next spot. I can see the appeal, even if I wasn't a huge fan of it myself.

 

Wall-E, though... I just don't get why people like that. I feel the same way about Scott Pilgrim, but I'm definitely in the minority on that one.

How dare you once more (with the hint). If it's the third one, I will LOSE it.

 

But I think it's the second one. The first one is just too iconic to be tenth :P.

 

As for Ratatouille, it honestly deserves better than 11th. I'd put either UP or Brave in this spot. But I know that you liked the latter, so...

 

Guess we'll have to wait and see.
