Movie: Remy is different from other rats: He’s disgusted by rotting leftovers and dreams instead of running his own gourmet restaurant — like his role model, top chef Gusteau. Hidden under a chef’s hat, he cooks with the kitchen assistant "Linguini" in Gusteau’s kitchen and produces spectacular results...

Televisions.com thinks:

Cute, animated fun for the whole family —
and technically brilliant!

PICTURE QUALITY:
The Cinemascope transfer crisply reproduces the Parisian architecture, the fine hairs of Remy’s fur, and the restaurant’s kitchen. Powerful colours please the viewer’s eye, and noise and dirt are nowhere to be seen.

(10 out of 10 points)

SOUND QUALITY:
The lightning strike at the beginning of the film is so mighty that it’ll make you jump. And when the grandma shoots at the rodents with a shotgun, it sounds more dynamic than even most action movies. The music is spatially differentiated, but there aren’t many surround effects.
