The Ratatouille Story and the Movie Trailer

Meet Remy, a rat who dreams of becoming a famous chef despite the fact that his family would rather he stay where he is safe and eat garbage, like all rats do. His adventure, in the movie Ratatouille, takes you into a Gusteau's, a gourmet five-star restaurant run by his hero of culinary fame, Auguste Gusteau.

When Remy finds himself at the restaurant, he joins forces with Linguini, the garbage boy who quickly discovers that this little rat is talented. Remy and Linguini make a bargain which sees Remy cooking in the kitchen. Eventually, Remy has to decide between his dreams or his existence as a rat. Along the way, he learns much about family, friendship and being who you are.

"This is the set to buy if you want to start a knife collection properly or replace so-so tools with the best cutters available. They're hand-forged from a single piece of stainless steel for maximum strength; the hand-polished blades are exactingly calibrated to be hard enough to resist dulling yet soft enough to take a keen edge when they're honed or sharpened. They will provide a lifetime of low-maintenance cutting to the cook." ~~ Arthur Boehm

Cooking Up Some Computer-Generated Food on Ratatouille

Including comfort food at its best!

In this YouTube video clip, the creative minds from Pixar discuss the challenges that were present when trying to make computer animated food real. In this scene you will see Remy's soup. I'm sure you will agree it looks delicious but I'm wondering if you can smell it, too? Remy's soup positively reminds me of Comfort Food at its best.

The soup scene from Ratatouille is absolutely one of my favorites scenes...the aroma wafting out of that pot is amazing when Remy is finished spicing it up. I'm not sure if this carrot is going to make it into the pot but one thing I am sure of and that is that Remy wouldn't dream of using baby cut carrots. He'd pick only the tastiest, most nutritious carrots.

Remy Would Love To Add These Copper Pots To His Kitchen

The Matfer 8 Piece Bourgeat Copper Cookware Set

Whether Remy was making my soup or an omelet, this set would suit him brilliantly. Because of the cost of the set people do frequently build their collection from individual pieces. To view those, click right here.

"This is the very finest cookware made. It's expensive but worth every penny. The quality is evident in the heft and feel of each pot and pan. When you get into the larger pots, it is almost as heavy as cast iron. This line of cookware is truly the Ferrari of the kitchen. The copper responds immediately to any temperature input. So if you are a casual cook who does not tend to pay close attention to what's going on in the pan, things can go wrong quickly. But if you are an accomplished cook, cooking with Bourgeat is like taking a Ferrari to it's limits on the track. " ~~ Terry Gruggen

High-Def Digest says, "Ratatouille stands tall among the tallest of Pixar accomplishments -- it's adventurous, witty, visually captivating and utterly charming. This blu-ray release is also fantastic, boasting absolutely perfect video and audio, plus a great package of extras. I've reviewed over 500 next-gen discs over the last year and a half, and not one has received a perfect five star rating overall, but there's a first time for everything and I'm happy to report that 'Ratatouille' is it. This is a must-own disc that no Blu-ray collection should be without."

Amazon Customer Reviewer Gerard D. Launay says, "Everything about this film is wonderful...the streets of Paris are recreated in rich colors and exquisite detail. I haven't seen a European city look this good in an animated film since Disney's "Pinocchio." Yes, it is definitely worth experiencing this delight on Blu-Ray. Oh my, even the French copper pots look authentic."

RATATOUILLE BLU-RAY FEATURES:

The blu-ray version of this movie includes: Gusteau's Gourmet Game in which you are able to help Linguini prepare meals while the orders flood in; Cine-Explore a behind-the-scenes experience; deleted scenes; an animated short called 'Your Friend The Rat' starring Remy and Emile; a funny theatrical short called 'Lifted;' and, a behind-the-scenes feature called 'Fine Food and Film' with chef Thomas Keller.

AMAZON CUSTOMER REVIEW

"Definitely worth a purchase, the disc features songs that are playful, reflective, jazzy... sometimes all at once. As another commenter rightly noted, one of the songs -- "Anyone Can Cook" -- is particularly notable for how it tugs at your heartstrings and evokes the more sensitive moments towards the end of the film...But, oh, the rest of the tunes! Such a pleasure, bringing back great memories from the film. They'll be listened to again and again." ~~ Adam Lasnik

Ratatouille Family Movie Night Activity by Clearplay
