Another Pixar winner !

Took the grandkids to see Ratatouille last night and we all agreed,, this was the best one yet. A must see. And the short that they show before the movie is worth price of admission alone,,,, if I ever paid to see a movie. We fix/weld seats for the theatre all the time and they pay us with free admission tickets. I usually have 20 or 30 in my desk.

Pixar movies are my personal favorites.

Not to steal the thread but I have seen Toy Story 2 more than 1000 times but I notice new things every time, during our road trip my kids were watching TS2 and I was listening to the part when the piggy bank. He was going through the channels so fast that he missed the channel and they asked him to turn back, his reply was "No can do, in the 40's gotta round the horn" meaning the roaring 40's of Cape Horn pure genius at work.

When my kid was younger, we watched Toy Story 1 a million times! I too caught the little innuendos after scrutiny with repeated viewings...like when Buzz and Woody were hostages in Sid's house. The "Binford" tool box was atop the milk crate that trapped Buzz. For those that don't know, Tim Allen played the voice of Buzz and "Binford" was the sponsor of Tim's "Tool Time" show on the series "Home Improvement"...or the producer (seen on the credits at the end) had his last name emblazoned on the moving truck at the chase scene...stuff like that.

Its pretty cool--if you turn the lights down low and the sound up real loud, the cars and stuff almost seem like they are real!

You guys are right. I have not seen Ratatouille yet, but I have seen cars more than 20 or 30 times.

Its evident in my signature that I really, really like Cars.

Pixar movies never get old. The clean humor, great animation, and family fun make them some of the best movies out there.

Ratatouille may have a greater appeal to adults more than kids, especially adults who are addicted to "Hells Kitchen", "Top Chef" or "Dinner: Impossible."

Great animation details like the cuts and burns on cook's hands and the typical characters that find work in restaurant kitchens.

I have to admit, I had to go to the website to figure out what role Ratzenbeger played.

Toy Story 1 & 2 were really good! Loved them. Also liked "Finding Nemo", the Turtles and Ellen Degeneres character make that movie.

The whole shark thing cracked me up, "Remember, fish are friends, not food!" lol

Not a lot of great comedy in the movies these days so i''l take these cartoons as good substitutes I have to see Ratatouille!

Finding Nemo made me appreciate one of my only nerd-toys on a whole new level--my home theater system. I watch that movie about once a month

Nerd!

I liked Finding Nemo and will watch it but nothing like Toy Story or Cars at least to me, I guess it's dependent on what the little guy is into that minute.

Toy Story has been the Soup Du Jour for the last few weeks.

I rented cars and thought it kind of sucked. TS was great, but we got a different audience, you and me.
