[rating:5] Director: Brad Bird Starring: Patton Oswalt, Lou Romano, Janine Garafolo After the disappointing detour into mediocrity that was “Cars,” one could fear that perhaps the Disneyfication of Pixar meant that a great era of animation was ending prematurely. This would appear to not be the case, because “Ratatouille” is an enchanting cinematic experience on a par with “Toy Story,” “The Incredibles,” and even “Finding Nemo.” Writer-director Brad Bird, who also did “The Incredibles” and the beloved under-the-radar hit “The Iron Giant,” creates a compelling tale from not the likeliest of subjects: A French rat who finds a way to become a top Parisian chef. Bird’s story bounces all over the place with well-placed surprises and diversions. He masterfully finds ways to give us familiar and satisfying confrontations with catalogue bad guys that feel fresh and surprising, partly because he lets his plot pinball around a bit, making its essential progressions feel unforced.
