Aw, rats!

Yes and at the risk of stating the obvious, how awesome does this 'Ratatouille' movie seem? I can't wait to see it. It will be the best thing since 'Ants'.
[from trailer]
Remy: What is that?
Remy's Brother Emile: [Looks at the odd thing he is eating]
Remy's Brother: I don't really know.
Remy: You don't know, and you're eating it.
Emile: You know, if you can sort of muscle your way past the gag reflex, all kinds of food possibilities open up.
Remy: [to the screen] This is what I'm talking about.
From the subheading it seems Mr. Bird may have read the Time magazine article about restaurants being the new sweatshops.
Not only does the main character's voice remind me of David Schwimmer (whose brilliance cannot be denied), one of my favourite actresses Janeane Garafalo is in the movie and she says it is her favourite movie she's ever done. Quelle horreur!
Here is a description of her character:
"After many years in a male-dominated profession, Colette is a tough cookie. A talented and ambitious chef, she doesn't appreciate having to look after Linguini but is there a soft center under that hard exterior?"
Can't get enough of those cheesy puns! Cheesy! Get it??
Peter O'Toole is also in the film as the voice of 'Antono Ego': the ultimate food critic and feared by everyone in the world of cuisine. He is known as 'The Grim Eater'.
Then there is Auguste Gusteau, a world-famous chef who mysteriously died after his highly-regarded restaurant was downgraded from five stars to four by Anton Ego.

this video review by A.O.Scott.
He calls it the best work of populist culture he's seen in a long time or something like that.
By the way, the movie is set in Paris. I have some Paris food blogging on the way for y'all.

Don't even get me started! Brad Bird is a golden god.
95% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Or check this out from cartoon brew:
"I was talking to my good friend Victor Haboush yesterday and he had an endorsement for Ratatouille that I just had to share. He says, and I quote, “It’s the best animated film since Pinocchio.” That’s a pretty bold statement but Vic is somebody whose taste I trust. And that’s not just because he’s worked on classics like Lady and the Tramp, Sleeping Beauty and 101 Dalmatians. Or because he worked on Brad Bird’s first feature The Iron Giant (and which he doesn’t share the same enthusiasm for as he does Bird’s latest). It’s because Vic knows what he’s talking about and because he’s always frank about what he thinks of things. If Vic says it’s good, then it probably is."
hi Tim D! it's so nice to see you here! the man behind the cheech stomach.
i wonder if i should wait for this film to hit cinemas or download it, hmmmm.
was just talking about Lady & the tramp to erik last night ..."when the moon's in your eye like a big pizza pie" nach!
101 Damatians was also pretty hot.
