My family found Ratatouille to be more of a mildly funny movie. There was more purpose in telling a story vs. making you laugh. But excellent none the less. My 8 and 9 year old loved the movie as did the rest of our family. It's in our collection and another Disney favorite!

Highly recommended!

I would say the same it was funny, but there was some burst out moments but not enough to consider it a laugh out loud type. But it was surprisingly well done with a good story.

I would say it is definitely a mildy funny movie, but still worth your time! It's very well done and appeals to both adults and children.

It was funny, but not "oh wow, that was crazy funny." It was just mildly funny.

It wasn't hilarious, but the animation was great, and you definitely cared about the characters. As far as Pixar movies go, I liked UP a lot more, but this is still a good movie.

Not a laugh out loud but had some moments that will make you chuckle or smile for sure. Beautiful animation though, it is wonderful to watch.

I would go with mildly funny. I think it is definitely geared towards older kids, for sure a fun movie though!

Summary
One key point: if you can get over the natural gag reflex of seeing hundreds of rodents swarming over a restaurant kitchen, you will be free to enjoy the glory of Ratatouille , a delectable Pixar hit. Our hero is Remy, a French rat (voiced by Patton Oswalt) with a cultivated palate, who rises from his humble beginnings to become head chef at a Paris restaurant. How this happens is the stuff of Pixar magic, that ineffable blend of headlong comedy, seamless technology, and wonder (in the latter department, this movie's views of nighttime Paris are on a par with French cinema at its most lyrical). Director Brad Bird ( The Incredibles ) doesn't quite keep all his spinning plates in the air, but the gags are great and the animation amazingly expressive--Remy's shrugs and nods are nimbler than many flesh-and-blood actors can manage. Refreshingly, the movie's characters aren't celebrity-reliant, with the most recognizable voice coming from Peter O'Toole's snide food critic. (This fellow provides the film's sole sour note--an oddly pointed slap at critics, those craven souls who have done nothing but rave about Pixar's movies over the years.) Brad Bird's style is more quick-hit and less resonant than the approach of Pixar honcho John Lasseter, but it's hard to complain about a movie that cooks up such bountiful pleasure. --Robert Horton
