My Favourite parts - 1 - Ratatouille

Ok starting off here...
In this movie there are so many amazing parts that its really hard to say what stands out in particular.
But to me the whole skinner character is the highlight...
For example in this sequence here (sorry no sound but maybe its even better like that):

Its amazing how much detail is in the animation... i love how he grabs and pulls linguini at sec 14, then we only see his hat at sec 31 but thats all we need to see... his hat bumping around and everyone can imagine whats going on... he is so into his own rant that he misses that the "bad juju" guy is getting the soup.
And then my idol carlos baena comes into play :-) sec 51... need i say anything more? Its just pure facial animation awesomeness... sec 56... What a pose... 1:00 that detail how he pushes himself up on his tiptoes... so he can see through the window (wich is so nice working together with the following shot) thats just... aaaaah... stuff like that is what makes animation great... its not just puppets moving... its art...
The next part of the sequence is also really amazing because it reveals another part of skinners bad character and how very insecure he is on the inside... how he points at linguini in a its not my fault matter at 1:18... and then straightens himself up... suddenly not as pompuous and superior as before... tiny steps... a straight walk and a face wich just shows how dead scared he is inside but tries to act as calm as possible... great great great stuff!

There is another scene when skinner reads the letter from linguinis mother... I couldnt find the clip online (and maybe its even better like that... so people will actually buy the dvd) but im sure if youve seen the movie you know what scene im talking about.
We had a lecture about this whole sequence at Animation Mentor... and it just cracks me up again every time im watching it... its just amazing to see exactly whats going on in skinners mind just by seeing his eyes dart around and his frown getting bigger. Great great stuff...

Ratatouille is one of my favourite Pixar films ever... I simply love it... It looks beautiful, the animation is of course over the top... but also the story... i love the story... Brad Bird is a genious!

Thanks... next film might follow soon :-)
