18 Ratatouille
A Pixar movie. The story of Remy, a rat with a advanced senses of smell and taste. It details how he gets his dream of cooking in a Parisien restaurant, while helping one of the waiters there achieves his own dreams in the kitchen. It is also the story of Alfredo, the aformentioned waiter, and his burgeoning relationship with Colette, one of the chefs at that restaurant. A third plotline is Remy's relationship with his family, particularly his father, who doesn't want his son getting too close to the humans, who consider rats vermin to be exterminated.
All in all, all of these plotlines are well developed. The story of the rats and the measures they take in order to survive is well developed. But the best aspect to this film is the relationship between Remy and Alfredo. The way they come to trust each other as they work out how to communicate each others intentions is particularly well done. 8/10.
