You get picky about what you put in the tank, your engine is gonna die. Then again, isn't part of the joy for a lot of people discovering the gem that may have been perched beneath theirr nose all the time without them even realising it? And if the aroma of this softly-simmering classic hasn't begun to win you over already, then its little taste of honeyed heaven is sure to claim you once you take a bite. opt to soak in rich, redolent atmosphere, placing their penchant for savvy characterisation and their trademark in unusual juxtapositions of race, species, locale, ethics and message once again along a path less trodden or, at least, less expected to be trodden by the popcorn-munchers. With this food-fixated fable, Bird and Co. But its bold departure from the normal pell-mell, event-escalation that would usually typify an all-out animated feature from the likes of the lofty Pixar is exactly what leads us into Ratatouille's soupcon of trend-bucking. Another smart film that dared to be a little different, “Cars” met with a strange ambivalence that confounds me to this day.

The great “Cars” failed to haul audiences along for the ride, as well. And there, perhaps, we have the crux of the matter. Even the usual toys and school lunch-boxes seemed to idle, unwanted, amongst overlooked cardboard effigies of the film's whiskery star.Īre people that put off by scampering rodents that they would pretend indifference towards one of the most entertaining and clever animation epics to have come along since, well, Pixar's last entertaining and clever animation epic. Well-liked, yes, but hardly the bonanza it ought to have been. Despite rave reviews from the usual suspects - Jonathon Ross and a couple of well-known UK movie mags in particular - Ratatouille singularly failed to ignite the public consciousness of the young and the young-at-heart with a mystifying aplomb. I saw this with my six-year old son, what seems only a matter of weeks ago on its UK theatrical run and despite a large advertising campaign and the usual product endorsement that had lined the shelves for over a month beforehand, we were practically the only people at the showing. Cruelly overlooked and underperforming in the States, even scuttling about the skirting boards of the British box office - well, considering that this is a Pixar movie, that is - Brad (The Incredibles) Bird's second-helmed production for the studio after his cult debut with Warner's The Iron Giant is actually a magnificently evocative and slightly left-field production that is a wondrous experience from humble start to poetic finish.

Well, imagine that visual and musical frisson recreated for an entire feature length movie, and voila. There's a marvellous scene in Toy Story 2 when the old guy comes in to repair and spruce up a kidnapped and slightly the worse for wear Woody that is a beautiful marriage of delicate music and animation so clinically precise, ordered and polite that it seems to make the hairs on the back of your neck rise it is so detailed and delightful.
