Official Ratatouille UK Film Poster
After the long wait, well it was for us here in the UK, I finally got to see Pixar’s Ratatouille at The Filmworks Digital Cinema in Manchester. I think this is my favourite Pixar film, along with the original Toy Story.

Ratatouille looks set to be one of the best film Pixar has produced as they raise the bar once again.
Everything about this film shouts quality, from the slick animation and beautiful style to the intriguing characters and storyline.

Poster For Pixar’s Animated Feature Cars
Finally seen Pixar’s latest film Cars, directed by John Lassetter, in fantastic digital format at The Light Vue Cinema. After the initial disappointment of the first teaser trailer, I am pleased to say that Pixar have come up with the goods yet again. Oh, apart from the exception of Jeremy Clarkson as the voice of Lightning McQueen’s agent. I wish directors wouldn’t insist on using localised celebrity voice talent for each country. It instantly shatters the illusion. I’ll definitely be buying the original US version of the DVD. Look out for the hilarious tractor tipping scene and the equally superb end credits.

As a bonus, the new short film One Man Band written and directed by Andrew Jimenez and Mark Andrews was also shown before the main film. The film has a beautiful European style, somewhat of a departure for Pixar and has a nice simple storyline with well developed characters.
