We've listed a number of streaming and cable services - including rental, purchase, and subscription choices - along with the availability of 'Ratatouille' on each platform. Though not perfect, it is an animated masterpiece in true Pixar form with breathtaking animation and visual design.Need to watch ' Ratatouille' on your TV or mobile device at home? Finding a streaming service to buy, rent, download, or view the Brad Bird-directed movie via subscription can be tricky, so we here at Moviefone want to do the work for you. Overall, I recommend that everyone see this movie when it hits theaters (I was lucky enough to see a pre-release screening). Other than that, this is the most layered, complex, and satisfying script from Pixar since The Incredibles. The only other minor fault is that a few of the dramatic one-liners feel a bit forced. The pacing of the story is odd and choppy at places, but this is a very forgivable grievance. The entire irony of the story - a street rat with a passion for fine food - is beautiful, and a tight, smart, wonderful script flows from this. You can't ask for more from voice acting. Every voice is distinctive, and it never feels like a celebrity's voice tacked on to a character (Shrek, I'm looking at you), it feels like the characters themselves speaking. Other than that, this is the expected comedy-with-heart movie from Pixar that so many have grown to love. (You'll know what I'm talking about when you see it). Most memorable is the shotgun scene near the beginning. Ratatouille, while not so straightforward with its action, has almost as much as The Incredibles did, in unique ways.

As Pixar enthusiasts will tell you, Brad Bird, the director of Ratatouille, also directed The Incredibles, which has the most inspired and creative action sequences from any of the Pixar movies. The next thing to talk about is the "genre" of the movie. It is a visual masterpiece of a movie if ever the term applies.

Honest to goodness, I was awestruck by the animation, and that never happens to me. I'm excited to say that Ratatouille will be the next one to redefine the visual creativity and technical detail of computer animated movies.

Remember how everyone was talking about Toy Story when it first came out? The incredible visuals, unique style, vividly imagined world? The next time people were talking that way with such enthusiasm about a computer animated movie was Finding Nemo.
