Description

An animated tongue-in-cheek documentary presented by Remy and Emile to state their case as to why humans and rats should just get along. Remy starts off as our guide through the history man and rat have shared. Emile then provides us with a lot of fun rat facts to help the viewer better appreciate the rat. The two pull out all the stops and end with a song describing a rat and human utopia.

    My kids (3 and 1-1/2) love Ratatouille so I thought this was a no-brainer. It is, however, rather violent and scary. It begins almsot immediately with a barrage of warfare type gunfire and then a none-to-subtle reference to the death and desctruction of the Black Plague. That's about as far as I got...about 2 minutes into it...because it was too violent and not at all in the "spirit" (that is, rats are not appreciated but not blasted by machine gun fire) of the movie that inspired it. Unfortunate.

    I thought that this movie really explained how humans shuld pay more respect to rats.

    Definitely a disappointment! This is NOT a 10-minute short of the lovable Ratatouille characters, but a very odd 2-D animated piece narrated by them. The gag is a bunch of interesting "rat history" bracketed by about 90 seconds of 3-D intro / outro by the lovable brother pair. My six year old thought it was just plain weird, and my two year old lost interest in mere minutes. I find myself in a rare situation of having to say "boooo" to Pixar and Apple for including this one at $2.

    This short is one of the funnier ones in the pixar short films circuit so, it is one of the better ones! P.S. The trailer is not misleading and if you do not like it, then don't watch it. The jokes don't ever get boring, though, so in conclusion this is a GOOD Pixar short. (Just Get BURN - E, iTunes)

    Not too impressive, AND, the trailer is VERY misleading. I thought this would be a cute short film with a lot of Remy and friends, but, it is MOSTLY a 2D cartoon, the artwork is not impressive at all. You hear Remy talking, but, you see mostly unimpressive cartoons and some old footage ... really it is just a cartoon documentary on rats. If I had seen the artwork and "documentary footage" and known that's what most of the short film consisted of, I would not have purchased. My kids found it boring. I will probably not watch again, therefore I will delete it.
  • Great

    I loved Ratatouille, so just seeing Remy again is a treat. This short is fantastic: great 3D and 2D animation, funny dialog, and a catchy musical at the end. Plus, you learn the 'importance' of rats in our society (give and take, people). I would suggest that you just pick up the Ratatouille DVD or Blu-Ray, since this is included as an extra. Enjoy :)
