Pixar make great films. End of story. Each films they’ve released has not only upped the technical bar on CG generated films, but also in terms of story, character, and atmosphere. Ratatouille is fantastic. Not an outrageous laugh a minute film, but thoroughly enjoyable, accessible, and despite the circumstances, believable. Let’s face it, Pixar rock. Here’s the proof:

• Toy Story - Awesome
• Toy Story 2 - Even better
• A Bug’s Life - not seen, can’t comment. Yet.
• Monsters Inc - made me cry at the end. Excellent - even for ‘Welcome To The Himalayas!’ scene.
• Finding Nemo - I wasn’t sure about this. The bubble had to burst. Pixar do it again. Awesome film.
• The Incredibles - this time I really thought they’d blown it. I watched this with a degree of cynicism, and I was wrong, but it was Pixar’s darkest feature yet.
• Cars - How do they keep going with new stuff all the time? This was awesome - great characters, excellent story. Even the attention to detail was superb.
• Rataouille - I’ve given up on Pixar ever making a dud. If they have, this is most definitely not it.

Which leads me to their next film, Wall-E. I really don’t like the voice they use in the trailers, but the character has already shone through. Pixar are going to do it again. Here’s the superbowl spot:
