Ratatouille (ra Ta Tú I)
Resumen del Libro
One key point: if you can get over the natural gag reflex of seeing hundreds of rodents swarming over a restaurant kitchen, you will be free to enjoy the glory of Ratatouille, a delectable Pixar hit. Our hero is Remy, a French rat (voiced by Patton Oswalt) with a cultivated palate, who rises from his humble beginnings to become head chef at a Paris restaurant. How this happens is the stuff of Pixar magic, that ineffable blend of headlong comedy, seamless technology, and wonder (in the latter department, this movies views of nighttime Paris are on a par with French cinema at its most lyrical). Director Brad Bird (The Incredibles) doesnt quite keep all his spinning plates in the air, but the gags are great and the animation amazingly expressive–Remys shrugs and nods are nimbler than many flesh-and-blood actors can manage. Refreshingly, the movies characters arent celebrity-reliant, with the most recognizable voice coming from Peter OTooles snide food critic. (This fellow provides the films sole sour note–an oddly pointed slap at critics, those craven souls who have done nothing but rave about Pixars movies over the years.) Brad Birds style is more quick-hit and less resonant than the approach of Pixar honcho John Lasseter, but its hard to complain about a movie that cooks up such bountiful pleasure.
