Ratanouilles

This is crap. That is simply what it is. The executives at Video Brinquedo are just a bunch of plagiarizing, no-good, lying, effortless, dirty scumbag hacks and, believe me when I say you'll feel the same way after watching ANY of their films, I would totally laugh if any of them got arrested for copyright infringement and they had to become someone's b*tches in jail. That's how bad ALL of their films are. What's the first thing that comes to mind when I say the names of some of their films: Ratatoing, Gladiformers, What's Up: Balloon to the Rescue, The Little Panda Fighter, and The Little Cars. If you said Ratatouille, Transformers, Up, Kung Fu Panda, and Cars, you're right! They don't even try to hide the fact that they are stealing ideas! I don't know how they do things down in Brazil, but here in America that's illegal. But I might be a little less harsh on it if they bothered to put any effort into ANY of their movies. But they don't. None whatsoever. Here's Ratatoing as an obvious rip-off of Ratatouille. Yes, it's basically the same plot, a rat likes to cook so he owns his own restaurant. But this time it's not in Paris, it's in for some reason Rio De Janiero! WHY?! And if it's there, why are none of the names in Porteguese (or Spanish, pardon me if I'm wrong)? Continuity and congruency are the least of this movie's problems. The acting is bad. That's all I can say, as that's expected. The dialogue is epic crap. The animation is a billion times worse (This makes either that old Legend of Zelda computer game or the paper clip computer graphic on Microsoft Word look like Toy Story). There is nothing else to say that I haven't said already. There is no effort and it makes it look like no one tried. But here's the thing: the atmosphere of not trying is so big that it comes off as if they tried really hard to make it look like they didn't try hard. This isn't anything like "The Room" or "Star Wars: Holiday Special", where everything is so horrible that you need to see it for yourself. This is one of those "Avoid like the plague" instances. I hope Video Brinquedo is terminated and I really do hope that the scumbag executives get arrested for plagiarism and copyright infringement for EACH MOVIE THEY RIPPED-OFF!!!

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.

It's trash can you believe that there are people that love this and think ratatouille is a rip off of ratatoing?but while it is garbage is less garbage than video briquendo"s aka video lazyripoffendo's other works

It's about some mice who own a restaurant, and other mice come to this restaurant and really like it, because of secret ingredients and things of that nature.

These secret ingredients that are very much enjoyed by customers are stolen by the restaurant owning mice from cats, other kitchens, and things of that nature. These ingredients are brought to the restaurant and cooked in the food. As can be seen there is a vicious cycle in the repetition of having to steal ingredients to make food to satisfy customers-- this is symbolic to the monotony of every day life and labor.

The restaurant owning mice are alienated from their lives, as they spend most of their waking moments laboring, either in the restaurant or stealing from cats. The source of their alienation is their vulgar profit making motive-- as they obtain the ingredients to enhance their cuisine not through exchange, but through stealing. Our owning mice are placed in the situation where they have to steal as they cannot or choose not to interact and exchange in the marketplace to obtain the secret ingredients. Such desperate measures lengthen the working day and thus their alienation.

This alienation is expressed by the animators with the thread bare backgrounds, and scenery. Nothing retains any sense of texture, all is smooth-- the characters don't appear furry, neither does the background range from course, splintery, or downy. All visual stimulation is sucked dry-- the characters are lifeless and soulless.

Oh I haven't watched the film yet, I don't intend to, because it looks like it sucks horribly.

If anybody couldn't figure it out by the title, this is a blatant rip-off of Ratatouille. As anybody knows, movies by Pixar look like they take at least 4 pain-staking years to create, but this movie looks like it was thrown out in 6 hours just a few days before the release of Ratatouille, with the animators frantically hoping they could duplicate the plot with their only reference being the Ratatouille theater commercials.

The animation is god-awful; just picture Data Design Interactive attempting to make their first "interactive children's movie" exclusively on the Atari Jaguar. The characters move around so strangely, it's almost as if they have some kind of mental disorder. The cat that showed up in the official trailer moves around like an orange 800 pound bowling ball on cocaine.

If you think the dialogue would be any better, then you're wrong. Just picture Ratatouille with all the nice textures and remarkable designs simply peeled away. Then add more rats with different colors, disposable personalities, and awful dialog. The dialog goes two ways. Either they put no acting effort into some discussions, or they do and end up sounding like they have down syndrome.

For example, a mouse looking at a menu at the beginning actually says "This one looks very good... that does sound so delicious and it's exactly what I think I want tonight!" To make matters worse, the waitress says soon after "Okay, I'll put this order in the kitchen." Okay... when is the last time I've ever heard a waitress use those exact words? It sounds so awkward, especially since it doesn't sound like the actors are even trying half the time. Imagine if you were being mugged by a thug who leaped in front of you with a bat and then said "I currently want your money! I would like you to be in the giving of it to me or I'll be in the action of hitting your body with my bat!" If you don't end up on the ground laughing, you might feel sorry for this criminal. What's worse is the sudden mood swings the characters can have (due to the abysmal voice acting).

Since I'm on the voice acting, I'll say it doesn't sound like the actors are even trying; it's pretty much as if the good folks at Video Brinquedo kidnapped some tourists that happened to be in Brazil at the time, sat them down into a studio, and had them read a bad script orally at gunpoint.

So should you buy this movie? No. God no. Video Brinquedo made another movie. Run away as fast as you can. If you enjoy bad voice acting you might get a kick out of this, but the laughs will only last so long.
