What is the best movie Pixar has ever made?
If you answered with anything other than Ratatouille, you are wrong. Sorry, but it’s not my fault you have lived a life built on errors and lies all these years.
Busted.
I love movies about food, like Big Night, Romantics Anonymous, Chef, Haute Cuisine, and on and on. That said, there are also bad movies about food where it seems like everyone involved in the production of the film wouldn’t even be able to undertake the production of a ham sandwich. I’m looking at you, No Reservations. Shame on everyone involved in that sad-sack romcom.
But Ratatouille! This is an excellent food movie, and I love it more every time I watch it. It is far more charming than any story about an animated rat cooking in a professional kitchen has any right to be. It captures the joy of creating something, whether new or from someone else’s instructions, and sharing that creation with the people you love.
