Every Pixar Movie Ranked Worst To Best

Aside from being the closest thing Pixar has ever made to an art house drama, Ratatouille might also be the studio's most underrated picture despite its initial critical acclaim. It's not quite as recognisable as Toy Story or The Incredibles, it isn't as re-watchable as Monsters, Inc. or Finding Nemo, but it is nonetheless an absolute triumph in animation, style and wholesome goodness.

On paper, Ratatouille shouldn't work: In Paris, a rat called Remy is separated from his family and, after befriending a clumsy aspiring cook, decides to chase his dream of becoming a world renowned French chef.

Yup, it sounds ridiculous - even by Pixar's standards - but Ratatouille's assessments of art, creation and chasing your passion are expertly handled throughout, anchored by a charming voice performance from Patton Oswalt and a great message about how anything is possible. Rats and cooking have never looked so good.
