Tuesday evening (17 July 2007) I had the good fortune to catch the sneak viewing of Ratatouille at Gateway and ... I'm telling you now, it was great! There isn't anything about it I did not like. The animation was awesome, the story was good, and voice talents were excellent! This film is especially interesting to people like me who LOVE to cook.

One of the best films I've seen so far for 2007.

The following are the voice talents for the lead roles:

• Patton Oswalt as Linguini. He is best known as Professor Dementor in the Disney cartoon, Kim Possible
• Brad Garrett as Gusteau, best known as Robert Barone in Everybody Loves Raymond
• Janeane Garofalo as Collette, who has starred in so many films, the most notable to me being The Truth About Cats and Dogs.
• and the incomparable Peter O'Toole as Anton Ego aka The Grim Eater

FYI, the rat's name is Remy. Ratatouille is actually a traditional peasant's dish of France.

Here's the trailer to peak your interest.
