Story: Rémy is a rat who lives with his family has a exceptionally discerning sense of smell is a huge admirer of Auguste Gusteau who is the top chef in France. One day, Rémy gets separated from his family and ultimately reaches Gusteau’s restaurant wherein he sees a young guy, Alfredo Linguini, with no culinary skills messing up a dish. Alfredo works in the restaurant as his deceased mother used to work there earlier. Rémy helps him correct the dish and thus Linguini is saved from being fired. Rémy and Linguini thus come up with an alliance and by controlling Linguini’s movements Rémy helps his cook food at the restaurant. The current owner Skinner somehow wants Linguini out of the picture as he is Gusteau‘s son and the actual owner of the restaurant. Rémy gets hold of it and gives it to Linguini. In the mean time, Rémy reunites with his family who ask him not to help humans as they sabotage rodents. Linguini and Rémy get into a fight and Rémy returns back to his family and plan to raid the kitchen. A demanding food critic makes a pre-announced visit to the restaurant and Linguini is helpless. Rémy with his family goes to his rescue and both together are able to impress the critic and revive the lost glory of the restaurant which was the main reason for Gusteau’s death.

Points: A sub-surface light scattering technique was used on the food items. Jan Pivaka has done an excellent job of designing the characters. Even a person who does not like animated movies should love it.

Rating: 9/10
