CINEkids International Children's Film Series
A timeless story of a dedicated but struggling underdog trying to make it in the business he loves with an unusual twist: he's an anthropomorphic rat who also happens to be a culinary genius.
Despite his sensational sniffer and sophisticated palate, Remy's dreams of becoming a chef seem hopeless due to one small detail: he's a rat! After a twist of fate lands him in the world-famous restaurant of his late hero, though, with a dash of culinary courage and the help of some friends, Remy whips up exquisite meals that impress the head chef and a notorious food critic, proving that big dreams can come true no matter how small you are.

"That feeling you have as you leave the cinema—that buzzing in the fingers and lightness in the heart—is called joy." — Ian Nathan, Empire
"Bird is one of the great modern animators—as well as an astonishingly gifted filmmaker, period—precisely because he doesn't set out to wow us." — Stephanie Zacharek, Salon
"Ratatouille is delicious. In this satisfying, souffle-light tale of a plucky French rodent with a passion for cooking, the master chefs at Pixar have blended all the right ingredients—abundant verbal and visual wit, genius slapstick timing, a soupcon of Gallic sophistication—to produce a warm and irresistible concoction that's sure to appeal to everyone's inner Julia Child." — Justin Chang, Variety
