Ranking The 10 Best Disney & Pixar Films Since 2000
6. Ratatouille
Who'd have thought that the journey of an anthropomorphic rat through the backdrop of the Paris restaurant scene would have been so good?
With bundles of charm, razor wit, and an old lady with a shotgun, Ratatouille does something that few other animated films have ever managed to, namely, make you hungry.
Remy the rat is one of Pixar's most brilliant creations. He is everything that a rat is, yet he pines for a new and better life as a chef. So, some hair control and an army of rats later, we all left the theatre with memories that would lead us to keep watching the film over and over again.
It is often considered one of Pixar's finest films with a score of 96% on RT and a box-office take of $620 million. It was also one of the indicators of what was yet to come for Pixar in the not too distant future.
Its cast to this day remains Ratatouille's strength, with Patton Oswalt as Remy and Peter O'Toole as Ego, surely there was no room for another show-stealing performance. Well, tell that to Ian Holm, who as Chef Skinner was nothing short of hilarious. The sequence of him chasing Remy across Paris has become a Pixar classic.
