Please don't let the fact that Ratatouille is seen as a "childrens movie" put you off. After films such as "Cars" and "The Inredibles", Pixar Studios had a lot to live up to, and maintain the title of the best animation studio worldwide.
Based in Paris, France, the story follows Remy the rat, who seems to have a special talent not seen before in the animal kingdom. Remy has an incredible sense for smell, and therefore can instinctevly mix foods together to create a tantalising dish; similar attributes to a chef!
When Remy discovers a Garbage boy whos useless in the kitchen but wants to make the cooking scene, Remy and the Human called Linguini comically team up to create fantastic dishes and put Linguini's Grandfathers restraraunt back on the market, and once again a 5 star cuisine.
There are many laughs to be had along the way, with the film lasting 110 minutes; a very good amount considering the movie is purely animated. Both adults and kids alike will gain enjoyment from Ratatouille, with the film being perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon to enjoy with all the family.
The main selling point of Blu Ray is the pristine picture quality the format brings, and Ratatouille is possibly the best looking film on Blu Ray so far. The film includes many vibrant colours which look fantastic on a top end HD TV, and cinredibly detail can be seen throughout the whole film. Whether you're looking at Linguini's hair or Remy the Rats fur, every single piece stands out and moves differently. You will be astounded by Ratatouille's picture quality, and this alone will make you watch the film over and over again.
For those of you looking for extra features, you will not be dissapointed as Disney offer us 9 different features, including deleted scenes, animation briefing, and even an interactive game called "Your Friend the Rat".
All of this comes together to make Ratatouille a fantastic, must-own title on Blu Ray.

I'm sorry for the H, but for this to be a full DVD review, I would prefer to see a review of the extras in the same detail as your review of the film, like you did in your "Vantage Point" review, not just a list of them.
