The movie, "Ratatouille"

We loved it. Would like to see it again, there's so much detail. Of course, it's full of feel-good politically correct moments, but I didn't care. You suppress some of your critical energy when you see animation like this, where the impossible happens, where rats talk and take on detailed human features.

That scene where Linguini tells all to Horst and the rest of the kitchen staff, telling them that it's a rat that has been guiding them all along, begging them all to stay for that important night with a restaurant full of customers -- they turn their noses up and march out of the kitchen. They abandon Linguine and Colette. How could they? The rats race in to the rescue and take over the kitchen. They're more noble than the humans.
