What am I Ratatoing with my life?

The Ryeview

Ratatoing is a horrible animated bootleg of an already boring animated movie, Ratatouille. This movie is about a mouse named Marcel’s restaurant that is really booming. Everyone in the first ten minutes of the movie literally won’t shut up about how amazing the place is or how much they’ve heard about it. They’re talking so fast that their mouths don’t sync up with the words they say, or any words in any dictionary of any language. They only focused on animating their walk cycles, I guess.

Everyone wants to know how Marcel makes his food so yummy, so they harass the waiter to go bring him out. Marcel declines and keeps cooking, which is pretty reasonable. The patrons continue to patronize the waiter until Marcel just walks by for no reason. They ask him for the secret ingredient and he suspensefully draws out that it’s lots of dedication and hard work. The patrons were all up in arms because he wouldn’t give the secret why his very successful business is successful, which is again, reasonable. Marcel just says he works very hard and uses fresh ingredients, which *SPOILER ALERT* are his secret ingredients. His secret is he doesn’t use trash to feed customers.

Later on, these patrons leave and reveal they are not really patrons, but they are OTHER RESTAURANT OWNERS!!!!! Meanwhile, Marcel, a female mouse named Carol, and a green fat mouse named Greg, who is weirdly voiced by the same voice actor for Dr. Eggman from Sonic the Hedgehog in America, take 4 minutes to suit up into spy gear raid the kitchen of a human restaurant to steal a strawberry.

The other mice find out about this somehow and mess it up for Marcel by getting the humans to set traps and get a dumb cat by doing a kick-line in the restaurant in another four-minute montage. Marcel narrowly escapes death by throwing a chocolate bar at a cat. This movie’s awfulness is a work of art. There’s just too much garbage to talk about. I give it a 6 out of 10, it was the best worst thing ever.
