The Bastard Goes to the Movies/Ratatoing

{sigh} Never in my life will i ever do a film from an animated studio that is a direct-to-video Pixar/Dreamworks Animation wannabe. Everybody knows that the company, in question, Video Brinquedo, sucks so much, and children watching the movies from that studio is the reason why the no-child-left-behind act was a complete failure! So here it is, Raratoing.

Released in 2007, just in time to cash in on the Pixar film that I actually loved called, Ratatouille, for those who are living under a rock.

In this movie, it takes place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, a place where it has birds in a 20th Century Fox animated film, and where it got destroyed in a Roland Emmerich film. Where there is a restaurant that is made for rats, and yes, by rats too. Marcel Toing, the "proud" owner of the restaurant, Ratatoing, is a restaurant, mind you. And here, everyone is not eating the food, yet they talk about how much the food is fantastic. That, my friends, is not a good sign. So Marcel, and his two gang of rats, Carol, a mouse that she does a badly animated walk, and Greg, who uses this special word... "Precisely," go find more food in a human restaurant only to find out that there is a guard cat, so they dress up in secret agent clothing, which only consists of Mickey Mouse hats you get from Disneyland or Disneyworld, goggles, and backpacks. it consists of filler too. Moving on...

As this happens, we have a subplot where four rats wait for the food, and they do the weirdest, cheesiest, most nightmarish, and the stupidest dance sequence ever. I am going to hell now. Meanwhile, Marcel, Greg, and Carol find the ingredients from the rival human restaurant, and then, Ratatoing is going to be out of business. The only way to make this restaurant out of business, they get more food only to find out that the four rats from before found them, as Ratatoing is saved.

The animation didn't help either, since it is your typical Video Brinquedo animation, where the CG is crooked, and the character designs look like shit, but in the case of Ratatoing, the designs are interesting shit. I call them interesting shit because they have mouths and jaws that move like they are in an Aardman movie, and yes, the Aardman that made Wallace and Gromit, The Pirates: Band of Misfits, and Flushed Away. Other than something amazing, the movie's animation cannot be saved. One of the other things that's about the animation is the cat. Everything from character design to animation movements, it is grotesque and rancid! If you don't know, watch and suffer for yourselves, kids.

Yeah, and don't forget the 4Kids cast. Yeah, Dan Green plays Carlos, Wayne Grayson plays Marcel, every 4Kids cast. Luckily, it was easy to find in the English version at the end credits, as this is the only goddamn film from that studio to use the English end credits, aside from The Little Cars. I guess they have to get a paycheck easily.

Overall, this is worse than crap. This movie questions the morals, what's going on in the animation, and how the plot is. So please, rent Ratatouille instead, or many other Pixar films, even if they're good (Brave), great (The Incredibles), outstanding (WALL-E), or bad (Cars 2).
