Film fans of all ages will appreciate this witty creation from the makers of Finding Nemo and Cars. The star of Pixar and Walt Disney's new flick, Ratatouille, is Remy - a young rat who moves to the streets of Paris. Upon making an unusual alliance with one of the staff of an impressive restaurant, the unlikely pair set about on a culinary adventure, with much laughter on the way. Visit www.ratatouille.com for more details on the film.
