I watched about 2/3rds of Ratatouille and I turned it off.. I don't know why but the movie fell flat to me. Maybe I have something against rats or boring voice actors.. I dunno. Can't say this is the first time I felt this way about a pixar film. I thought The Incredibles was decent at best. It felt more like an action disney film than a pixar adventure film. Cars just had too much frickin pop culture dragging it down. By Pop Culture I mean Larry the Cable Guy's recycled jokes. I liked Patton Oswald as the lil rat dude but almost none of the other voices really stuck out. With my favorite Pixar film, Monster's inc, The voice acting was just awesome. Crystal, Goodman, and Buscemi, all had the perfect voices for their characters not to mention that Billy Crystal and John Goodman had great comedic chemistry. Just to know what I thought about it, It'd give it a 4/10. However, it's probably more like a 7.5-8/10 if I weren't a jaded film watcher.
