Upon its release in 2007, I was one of many who questioned whether or not PIXAR had lost their creative minds by releasing a film about a mouse in France who has a passion for cooking. And weren't we all wrong. Charming, beautiful, and extremely well put together, this film silenced all critics and proved that the love of food and cooking infects us all. This was also the first PIXAR film released in association with Disney, as they purchased PIXAR the same year for a whopping $7.4 billion dollars.
