In order to present a more balanced assessment of the recently released Ratatouille<\/span> DVD, panned<\/a> by our very own Alan J. Porter, I present an excerpt from my SF Site review<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Quote:<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Not only does Ratatouille<\/span> include the animated short "Lifted," which originally appeared with the movie’s theatrical release, but also features the highly entertaining original short "Your Friend the Rat." Rendered in a combination of traditional and computer-generated animation styles, Remy (Patton Oswalt) and his brother Emile (Peter Sohn) recount the history and occasionally positive aspects of rat-human relations. Did you know that the black rat (rattus rattus<\/span>) first arrived in the West after hitching a ride with the Crusaders? Or that rats weren’t the cause of the plague but rather it started with fleas? Remy and Emile present these fascinating facts and a lot more in a friendly, non-icky way, successfully showcasing the more appealing aspects of the vermin.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Course, unlike Alan, I liked the movie, as expressed in my RevSF review<\/a> earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Since Alan and I are obviously at odds, I suggest you watch the DVD, and make up your own mind. We’ll both be curious to hear what you think.<\/p>\n
