Ratatouille

'Anyone can cook' is the motto that underlines this movie and that 'anyone' in this movie is a rat - the being that could lead a restaurant to close.
Remy is a rat with refined senses, living in a rat colony that feeds off garbage. He sees cook Gusteau on TV in the kitchen (one of the forbidden places for a rat to go to). His want to cook gets larger and larger. He starts reading Gusteau's book secretly. But one of the adventures to the kitchen goes horribly wrong and he is separated from his family, only left with his prized book.
Lead by Gusteau's imagination, he finds out he is in Paris, right under Gusteau's restaurant. After some craziness, his passion calls out. He sets a soup right. He is discovered by the garbage boy.
Meanwhile, the chef thinks the garbage boy was the one cooking the soup and admonishes him. Before they could stop, the soup is served to a critic and receives great reviews. Chef is surprised and challenges the boy to remake the soup. The rat is spotted and the garbage is given the responsibility to dispose of it.
Just before he throws the rat away, he has a heart to heart talk to the rat. And come to a deal.
Now Linguini (garbage boy) is lead by the little chef (Remy) for all the creations. He becomes famed and known.
Overtime the truth comes out that Linguini is actually Gusteau's son - a secret the chef was keeping secret. The chef is kicked out and Linguini basks in fame. But in the fame, he loses his head and tiff gets bigger and bigger, until the time comes for all the cooks to know the truth. They leave him in disappointment.
Now, Remy and his rat colony complete the cooking, while the most severe of the critics awaits the service. Remy suggests the making of Ratatouille, a peasant dish with some modifications. And that strikes the chord in the critic, who is surprised to see the chef and gives raving reviews.
But a health inspector sees the rats in the kitchen and closes down the restaurant. But the crew - Remy, Linguini and his sweetheart, Collette start their dreams successfully elsewhere.
A very good movie. A different story and my favourite bits were when they showed parts of Paris. It looked awfully real. Perhaps it was real footage with some animation essence added to it, but the movie is definitely worth a watch.
