Ratatouille Blu-rayPIXARDisney / Buena Vista | 2007 | 111 mins | Rated G | Nov 06, 2007
Ratatouille(2007)Animation | Comedy | Family ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A rat named Remy dreams of becoming a great French chef despite his family's wishes and the obvious problem of being a rat in a decidedly rodent-phobic profession. When fate places Remy in the sewers of Paris, he finds himself ideally situated beneath a restaurant made famous by his culinary hero, Auguste Gusteau. Despite the apparent dangers of being an unlikely — and certainly unwanted — visitor in the kitchen of a fine French restaurant, Remy's passion for cooking soon sets into motion a hilarious and exciting rat race that turns the culinary world of Paris upside down. Remy finds himself torn between his calling and passion in life or returning forever to his previous existence as a rat. He learns the truth about friendship, family and having no choice but to be who he really is, a rat who wants to be a chef.

Colors are vivid and pristine, contrast and black levels perfect, and resolution exceptional. Every strand of fur on Remy’s coat is captured with exacting detail. For examples of the disc's amazing picture quality, be sure to pay attention to the fast-paced scene where Remy first enters the kitchen of Gusteau’s restaurant. There is an abundance of fast action and beautiful detail in this scene. Also, be sure to check out the sequence where Remy is separated from his pack. This scene in particular shows an amazing amount of shadow detail and also highlights the fine details in Remy’s fur. You can actually see the droplets of water gathering in his fur causing his fur to clump together. Finally, there is not a single compression artifact to be found in this AVC encode. To say that Ratatouille is reference grade would be an understatement! Ratatouille Blu-ray, Audio Quality![]() This Blu-ray Disc release offers a few audio options. There is an English 5.1 Uncompressed PCM mix (48kHz/24-bit) as well as English, French and Spanish Dolby Digital 5.1 mixes. I listened mainly to the uncompressed PCM while switching to the English Dolby Digital 5.1 a few times for comparison. As is normal for a Pixar film, this 5.1 soundtrack is very aggressive and will give your sound system a wonderful workout. The surround channels are filled with many discrete sounds. This is especially true in the many kitchen scenes where the subwoofer is used aggressively, but not overwhelmingly. There is also a lush sense of ambience mixed in throughout the film. These things combine to give the mix a great sense of spacial depth, motion, and fullness. The clarity and detail of the 48/24 PCM recording is exceptional and helps to convey a great sense of realism to all of the special effects and dialogue. Switching between the uncompressed PCM and the Dolby Digital tracks, I must say that the Dolby Digital soundtrack did, at times, sound pleasing. Ultimately, it lacked some clarity in the dialogue as well as some overall impact and smoothness in the midrange. If you can, go with the uncompressed PCM, but the Dolby Digital will do nicely otherwise.
