Disney's Sweet Return

I can't remember how long I haven't watched a Disney animation since Toy Story took the 3D craze. Whether it's Cars or Happy Feet, it's hard to make me want to watch it, let alone go to the cinema. But this animation made me fascinated the moment I saw the poster. That little mouse who stood there with a mushroom or a shrimp trembling and looked innocently at me was so adorable.

The story is still the Disney animation's happy line as always, so there's no need to bother to guess the ending, not to mention that it's almost spoiled before watching it. However, this does not affect the interest in watching, because the work of the movie is outside the plot. Simply put, it fully mobilizes the audience's sense of pleasure.


The great thing about this film is its characters. The protagonist mice are designed so cutely that there is no disgust of sewer creatures at all. The rendering of the hair not only retains the dirty color of the mice, but also carefully avoids giving the impression of being dirty and disgusting, and the big eyes are full of Innocent and sweet, especially when cooking; secondly, the director cleverly placed the story location in Paris, set the theme as food, and diluted the American flavor with a relaxed and lovely French flavor, making the tone of this animation appear Warm and harmonious, the whole work presents a gentle warm color, which is perfect for food. To be honest, just looking at pixar's beautiful 3D Paris is worth the price. The good thing about animation is that it preserves the beauty and sophistication of Paris, while omitting its shabby and dirty side (no bird shit and shit in sight). Painting should have a lot of love for Paris, and all the cars in it are classic cars from the 1970s and 1980s. Not to mention, the animation's realistic description of the kitchen of a high-end restaurant in Paris, watching the little mouse accurately point out which is the chef, which is the sous chef, which is the chef in charge of sausages... The appetite was immediately hooked up . Finally, the food critic's words at the end of the story can be described as the finishing touch, light and full of happiness. Not all people can become artists, but great artists can come from anywhere. This is a classic that should go down in history.


In the end, the little mouse seems to have escaped the crisis of being pinched and will be listed at the end of the year. Then, go to the cinema and see it, for the return of the warm light and shadow that Disney has been eroded by the big productions, for the efforts of pixar to all age animation beyond the technical foundation, and for the greatness of a cute little mouse. Chef's dream.

Ratatouille quotes

  • Mustafa: [taking Ego's order] Do you know what you'd like this evening, sir?

    Anton Ego: Yes, I think I do. After reading a lot of overheated puffery about your new cook, you know what I'm craving? A little perspective. That's it. I'd like some fresh, clear, well seasoned perspective. Can you suggest a good wine to go with that?

    Mustafa: With what, sir?

    Anton Ego: Perspective. Fresh out, I take it?

    Mustafa: I am, uh...

    Anton Ego: Very well. Since you're all out of perspective and no one else seems to have it in this BLOODY TOWN, I'll make you a deal. You provide the food, I'll provide the perspective, which would go nicely with a bottle of Cheval Blanc 1947.

    Mustafa: I'm afraid... your dinner selection?

    Anton Ego: [stands up angrily] Tell your chef Linguini that I want whatever he dares to serve me. Tell him to hit me with his best SHOT.

    [Emile obeys; Remy holds out piece of cheese]

    Remy: [whacking him on the head] Ack! No, no, no! Don't just hork it down!

    Emile: Too late.
