Ratatoing (2007)

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Video Brinquedo created "Ratatoing" capitalize on the popularity of Disney's "Ratatouille". However, in almost no way can you compare the two. Sure, they're both films and they both are about rat chefs...but that's where the similarity ends. While "Ratatouille" is a charming and well-crafted film, "Ratatoing" is essentially garbage...a charmless, ugly and horribly animated movie. It's so ugly and awful that I can't even see children enjoying anything about the movie. With CGI that looks like it was created in the 1980s or early 90s (at best) and a dull story, it's a real chore to finish this mess.The story, if you care, is about a rat chef who has to retrieve secret ingredients. The rat patrons wonder how they get the wonderful food and this is because at night the restaurant workers go in search of human food on Thursday nights. There's a bit more to it than this (such as some competing rat restaurant wanting to steal Ratatoing's secrets) but none of it is interesting in any way.Is this the worst children's film ever? Possibly. I am not sure I'd call it that because it really was never intended as a theatrical piece...just a super-cheap and crappy direct-to-video fiasco whose awfulness is hard to imagine....you need to see its awfulness for yourself to believe it!I give this one one star...simply because IMDB doesn't allow a score of zero.

This is a ripoff of Ratatouille. Ratatouille is 7 times better than this! The animation is horrible. Everything looks dark and mushy. I would kind of like it if the animation was better and the characters weren't rats, so it wouldn't be directly copying Ratatouille. But no! They decided to be lazy and copy a good movie. They weren't even trying to be good! Luckily, Video Brinquedo went bankrupt. I hope they never do something like this ever again. Why is the restaurant called Ratatoing? It sounds like someone can't pronounce Ratatouille, so they put bounce sound effect at the end. Rata *bounce* Not only did they ripoff Ratatouille, but they also ripped off the Mona Lisa! The Mona Lisa!

Ratatoing captures the pure godlike essence that radiates from these rat things. Through the power of editing and a clear several years of grueling work, this wonderful movie was finally released and cured the us of crippling depression. Also, this movie cured my cancer and i now own 50 rats by the name of Marcell, and they live in a giant cage with a sign on the front that reads "Ratatoing". Every night i pray to them after watching the entirety of this movie 3 times. This masterpiece is truly one of a kind. You should definitely buy it, because no matter how much it costs, you will have no regrets.

I found this in the kids section at my library and assumed it was a sequel to "Ratatouille." Man, was I wrong. Even Saturday morning cartoons are a step above this turkey in animation and sound quality. This thing was released 3 days before Ratatouille which, given how similar the names are, seems pretty "coincidental." You are free to draw your own conclusions from this, but I bet there are quite a few people who bought this video thinking that they were getting Ratatouille. It is the only reason I can come up with for why my library has a copy.I'll admit that I only watched 3 minutes of this before ejecting the disc, but that was plenty of time to decide that investing any more time in watching would be a huge mistake.
