《料理鼠王》讲述了一只梦想成为顶级大厨师的老鼠"米小鼠",在命运的安排之下,全家意外从法国乡村移居到巴黎的下水道。令他雀跃不已的是,他发现新家上方居然是他的偶像,大厨Auguste Gusteau掌厨的顶级餐厅。当他有机会发挥天份,烹煮出一道令全世界顶尖美食家赞赏的美味浓汤的同时,意料陷入一场混乱且刺激的追逐。本剧中逗趣的人物各具特色,场景充满华丽的法国风格,绝对会带给观众一个充满幻想力、惊喜连连的感官飨宴。
Ratatouille又译《料理总动员》(貌似把迪斯尼的3D动画翻译成“xx总动员”俨然一种时尚),本意是普罗旺斯地方的一种法式烩菜(做法与“乱炖”有异曲同工之妙,想来十分可口——否则,片中的小老鼠主人公也不会在此类料理的感召下,无视亲朋好友的激烈反对,非要立志成为法国大厨了。其实,单看憨态可掬的造型便足以忍俊不禁,小家伙对厨艺的锲而不舍,恰似《冰河世纪》里小松鼠对坚果的炽烈迷恋,皆属“人为财死,鼠为食亡”的典型案例。

迪斯尼与皮克斯双剑合璧,还有比它们合作出的动画片更值得期待的吗?如今合而为一、磨合完毕的两动画巨头,打起了一只名叫“蔬菜杂烩”的小老鼠的主意。皮克斯的三维技术别家公司绝对望尘莫及,而以制作过《超人总动员》的幕后导演布拉德·伯德率领的团队,创意更是顶尖!讲述可爱小老鼠有着大智慧的故事,美食+可爱动物+梦想无敌,迪斯尼2007年度的强档动画片就应运而生了。

料理鼠王》一洗上周与《变形金刚》之间的票房委屈,以163万港元的位居冠军,仅比上周末下滑了20%;而在北美票房榜一度风光的《辛普森一家》、《谍影重重3:最后通牒》在香港市场遭遇了滑铁卢,分列第二、第三名;上周的票房冠军《变形金刚》则以75%的速度下滑。
这次的夺冠不是看谁涨得快,而是看谁跌得缓。这周的冠军应该是名副其实的刹车榜冠军,小老鼠凭借“身小体轻”硬是跌到第一名。而笨重的《变形金刚》明显没装刹车装置,75%速度狂滑,这事实告诉我们,车子一定要检查关键安全措施,就算是变形金刚也不能马虎。

Ratatouille 料理鼠王
Brad Bird may be one of the few animated filmmakers working today who understands what the concept of a "family film" means. It"s something that offers material to viewers of all ages and doesn"t lose one group by catering too strongly to another. Following The Iron Giant and The Incredibles, Bird has turned his attention to the sewers and kitchens of Paris with Ratatouille. In some ways, it"s an odd subject for a big-budget cartoon. Rats don"t make for the most cuddly of animated creatures and the movie spends enough time developing plot that younger children may squirm. Nevertheless, while Ratatouille misses the pinnacle achieved by The Incredibles (considered by some to be the best-ever computer animated film), it provides solid entertainment and shows why something like Shrek the Third should be cast aside.
In Ratatouille, Remy (voice of Patton Oswalt) is a culinary wizard of a rat. His senses are so refined that he refuses to eat garbage and is used by others as a "poison detector" since he can tell if something is toxic by sniffing it. His desire, however, is to become a chef, and he gets a chance to achieve his dreams when he meets Linguini (Lou Romano), a janitor at Gusteau"s, a famous Paris restaurant. Hiding under Linguini"s chef"s hat, Remy urges the young man to create dishes of amazing mastery. Like Cyrano de Bergerac, Remy pulls the strings and Linguini takes the credit. Soon, Gusteau"s is the talk of the city and Linguini has captured the heart of the woman of his dreams, Colette (Janeane Garofalo). But trouble looms. The chef (Ian Holm) whose position Linguini usurped wants revenge. And powerful food critic Anton Ego (Peter O"Toole) has decided to have a meal an Gusteau"s; on the night of his arrival, Remy is nowhere to be found.
Flushed Away had no difficulty using rats as main characters, largely because they looked much like human beings with a lot of hair. Ratatouille provides us with rodents that, while not lifelike, are close enough that it could give some phobic viewers a moment"s pause. Since this is Disney, the film emphasizes the creatures" "cute" aspects - a round pink nose and wide, innocent eyes - but there"s no mistaking what they are. Ultimately, it"s a lot easier to think about cuddling up next to a penguin than a rat. This is one instance in which the realism of CGI may not be an asset.
Ratatouille continues the recent trend of A-level animated pictures raising the visual bar. With human beings looking ever more like their real-life counterparts, it"s becoming increasingly obvious that the future of computer generated animation may know no boundaries. There"s a chase scene during the second half of Ratatouille that takes us through the streets of Paris and onto boats floating on the Seine. This sequence is so exquisite that it"s almost impossible to believe it was conceived and realized within a computer. The single noteworthy quality of Shrek the Third was its animation, and Ratatouille has topped it. (Not that we would expect anything less from Pixar.)
Bird has fashioned the movie as a parable about racism and tolerance. The conflict here is between rats and humans, and the breakthrough comes when members of each species learn a little about those of the other. Then there"s the Cyrano de Bergerac angle, which will go over the heads of children (and perhaps some older audience members). While there are no song-and-dance numbers to enrapture kids, there are plenty of action sequences and a majority of the comedy is universal enough to tickle the funny bones of viewers of all ages.
For the most part, the vocal casting relies on actors with generic voices or those who can hide their natural intonations. The exception is Peter O"Toole, who gives ominous depth to the character of Anton Ego (although the visual representation of the critic looks like Christopher Lee as filtered through Tim Burton). This isn"t O"Toole"s first role in an animated movie, but it may be his most memorable. He also delivers an interesting monologue about critics that could be seen as applying to more than those who review restaurants.
At nearly two hours in length, Ratatouille demands a longer attention span than most animated movies. (Plus, it"s fronted by a five-minute short, Gary Rydstrom"s delightful "Lifted.") It rewards those with patience, regardless of age. The movie wisely saves its best and most impressive set pieces for the second half, whether they"re the aforementioned chase or the sight of hundreds of rats invading a restaurant kitchen. And, while Ratatouille isn"t specifically about the love of food, that"s another ingredient Bird has stirred into the pot.
Coupled with Surf"s Up, Ratatouille offers movie-goers a recent rarity: back-to-back quality animated family films. It has been years since we have seen something similar, and the effectiveness of this movie helps to wash away some of the bad aftertaste left by Shrek the Third. For parents looking to spend time in a theater with their kids or adults who want something lighter and less testosterone-oriented than the usual summer fare, Ratatouille offers a savory main course.
