Ratatouille (2007)

Pixar does it again.  Will they ever run out of steam?  Not as long as the uber-talented Brad Bird (The Iron Giant, The Incredibles) is captain of the ship.  The difference between Pixar productions and nearly every other animated production?  Pixar doesn’t make animated films, they make films that just happen to be animated, complete with all the traditional elements that make great films great.  Ratatouille is another feather in their illustrious cap, and Bird has the surest sense of style in the business.  Look for Bird to win his second Oscar this February.
