Ratatoing

This is the lowest common denominator of children's entertainment, it's just that bad. The story is written as a story that was "inspired by" Ratatouille as opposed to just ripping it off, in-which it did. The characters are bland, the story is bland, the animation is horrible, and the voice cast is just unbearable. The villain rat group are epic fail. The voice of the mouse when he says "precisely" sounds like it was copied and pasted in. One out of ten. This is the worst kids' feature ever. It was made by a group of Brazillian filmmakers who try to cash in on the success of other animated features that grace the Box Office.

Heck, let's ignore the fact that every film by this Brazillian company is ripping off a successful American film. Is it still enjoyable? No! It only manages to get more than 1 star simply due to the fact that it's unintentionally funny with how bad it is.

The story's weak and almost non-existent. For the most part, the writers just try to pad it out by repeating the boring suiting up sequence, dedicating the first 5 minutes to characters talking about how great the food at Ratatoing is and god knows what else. The script is also pretty bad but not too bad, but does precisely need to be a catchphrase? Really? Just be thankful it didn't hit theatres first.

The animations are just... laughable, really. I've seen much better from light-wave, and that's the cheapest form of CGI animation out there. What's more is that every other movie of this kind with the exception of the Frog Prince is just as horribly animated. The worst example is that cat. No cat moves like that! It looks so awkward for that thing to move! Ultimately, even if you think of this movie as a parody it's still hard to enjoy it. Again, it gets points for being unintentionally funny but that's about it.

This is one of the earlier rip offs I watched on Amazon Prime. I barely made it through with literally 2 minutes left. It was extremely hard to sit through with its AWFUL pace, awful animation, awful music, and annoying voices by good actors. The movie is I think 40 minutes but it felt like hours as the first 10 minutes was dedicated to the rats saying how good the food is, literally leaving me believing that the characters will NOT leave the restaurant, which is extremely lazy and boring. I can't remember the story because that's how short my attention span was. This movie should not be seen by anyone, as just the way it looks is enough for children to want to tear your eyes out. Ratatouille is much more lovable, friendly, easy on the eyes, and wonderful.

I love animation, but I saw Ratatoing out of curiosity after hearing people say how bad it was. And while I have seen worse animated films, like Spiders Web:A Pig's Tale, Titanic:The Animated Movie and Animals United, Ratatoing is just garbage.

The animation is terrible, very static in the backgrounds and bland in the colour palette, and to make things worse the character designs are some of the most forced I've seen. The writing is even worse unfortunately, it is unfunny and juvenile and written with no heart.

The story is very unoriginal(no surprise seeing as I've seen it all before with Pixar's Ratatouille except a thousand times better), and is too thin and rushed to sustain a film that is less than 50 minutes in length. None of the characters are likable or endearing, and pretty much no effort goes into the voice work.

So overall, Ratatoing is garbage. 0/10 Bethany Cox

A pure magnanimous plethora of brilliance is not even a fraction of what comes to mind when I look back at the night my eyes were graced upon the asphyxiating beauty of Ratatoing. It's true other people would rather prefer "Ratatouille", a steaming pile of rip-off that rolled off the Pixar conveyor belt last summer, suspiciously around the same era that was enlightened by Ratatoing.

Now I can name a list of films, stories , and conspicuous cartoons that have tried, and miserably failed to resurface the extravagant master piece that graces the name Ratatoing, but that would only make Ratatoing look a whole-of-a-hell-lot better, so much better that simple text could not withhold.

I wish you could hear my voice right now as I recite this review out-loud to my cats.I wish you could hear my voice tremble and break as it gets higher, and higher with every octane of joy that excretes from my mouth.People are trying to restrain me as I type, mistaking my overwhelming urge to spontaneously combust, yes combust into pure energy that would flow into the feeble minded, and make them realize that they have not yet experienced life until they witness that which withholds the name "Toing".

Can I say I have fully witnessed this gracious Brazilian Godsend to the fullest.The answer is no. I have yet to finish the trailer posted on Youtube, do to the fact I rapidly hyper-ventilate when the audio-visual of Ratatoing embeds itself so haplessly into my face.

The only question remains to you, the reader who I have reluctantly with-held the overpowering experience of Ratatoing to, would I recommend this movie? I would not, due to the shambles this film has left me in since it first graced my eyes. Do not witness this false Arc of the covenant, for it is already well said in Raiders of the lost Arc, that it will friggin' melt your face. I must fare thee a good fare-well due to the fact the Insane asylum wards men will any second realize I have escaped my cell, and have broken into a random home to tell the world of that which drove me mad...
