Ratatouille will surpise you. It's like an off-kilter Cyrano de Bergerac. Amazing art direction, with charm, style, and joie de vivre. big smile on my face all the way through. Joy.

Cars sucked. Story stolen from Doc Hollywood (terrible Michael J Fox movie), characters were clichéd and voices were uninspired.

The heavy-handedness of Wall-e's message turned me off, but it was still a gorgeous film, and certainly had its moments.
Monsters, Inc and The Incredibles are tops in my book. As a dentist, I'm obligated to appreciate Finding Nemo.

One thing I can appreciate about Pixar is their ability to run with a cliché and usually find some small way to tweak it, like the endings to Ratatouille and Cars, which had happy endings - just not the ones you might have initially expected.

My favorite Pixar film, and they've got many greats.

as if they had that much at all :-)


They've put out 10 feature length films which I think is a decent sized body of work. I think Wall-e, The Incredibles, and Ratatouille are great. Toy Story 1 and 2, Finding Nemo, Monsters, Inc, A Bug's Life, and Up were good but not great. I never saw Cars.

Up was so crushingly depressing that I couldn't really enjoy any of it.

I like how some of the clip doesn't even have said ranked voice speaking. In the case of Ratatouille. Peter O'Toole's voice was playing. And to this day, I think it's one of the finest voice acting in Pixar history. Peter O'Toole should be No.1!

Absolutely bang on. Give people the ability to trial your stuff for free, as much as you like, and then buy a high quality, collected, easily viewed, nicely presented version of it.

Instaprofit.

It's how I use bittorrent. The number of films I have bought on DVD after downloading the torrent and discovering 'oooh, that's a good film' is quite high now. (Children of Men, Stardust, Die Hard 4.0, Ratatouille etc. etc.) My wife and I hardly ever get to go to the cinema any more due to getting people to look after the kids, and I don't buy movies sight unseen anymore (I did that with some movie, can't remember what, after a lot of online hooplah over how good it was, and was very disappointed)... so it works really well for us.

I'm not buying less, I'm actually buying more DVDs because of BT because it lets me know which movies are the ones to get without fear.

Wow... apparently I need to get out more, I've only seen two of those! And in regards to those two, Yes Ratatouille was adorable/funny/very well crafted as all Pixar films should be...

and Yes 300 was horrible in every way possible, achieving not only the complete destruction of one of my favorite graphic novels, but also managing to not so subtly beat the war drums for a future conflict with Iran... good job Hollywood, good freakin' job... I am glad this film is pretty universally recognized as crap, except of course among the young male demographic I go to school with, they're still all like, "Yeah Bro! It it was fucking swweeeeeet!" The warhawks will be happy to know that their propaganda was received well by their target demographic.

for once, i completely disagree dag. Cars was one of my favorite Pixar films. Of course, I'm a car guy at heart, so "Cars" was right up my alley. Conversely, I didn't care for Ratatouille at all. Too dark, based on a silly concept, and not that genuinely funny IMHO.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

This is also one of my all time favorite songs. Really evokes a lot of childhood memories of the early 80s.

I thought Ratatouille was way better than Cars though. Actually thought Cars was the weakest of all the Pixar offerings.

I equally enjoyed the "flashback" scene right before this, when he first tastes the ratatouille pasta and remembers his boyhood.

I saw the French version with English subtitles at this year's Toronto Film Festival. It was very, very good -- I didn't think that there'd be a better animated film than Ratatouille this year, but I think Persepolis gives it a run for its money.

piscatorius, it might not be quite as good as Boundin, but if you went to see the amazing Ratatouille, then you'd know your statement is ridiculous. These shorts are usually basically test beds for new technologies, pipelines and methods that they are using for the next movie. Which for this, I suppose means next year's Wall-E.
