Bonjour Mesdames et Messieurs:

This post is inspired by the beautiful Paris the "city of light". The lovely architecture in this city is represented by its famous buildings (Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Louvre) making you feel the romantic air in the streets.

RATATOUILLE (Disney Pixar) is a fascinating story that put together all the elements that characterized the traditional Paris. In this story the main characters Remy (rat) and Linguini (son of Gusteau), both made an amazing team and accomplish their dreams. They had to overcome different obstacles that seem impossible to overcome.

The direction, scenography, animation and even the credits are amazing, everything well designed and dynamic.

Awards: This movie won many awards including the best animated film at the Oscars and Golden Globes. It broke records in many countries of the world including of course, France. Many companies of food didn't want to put their name in the movie because the main character was a rat. Even Disney Pixar had trouble when they were making up the movie but the stand up for their believes and followed their instincts. This is a great example that when we are faithful to our believes and fight for our dreams we can achieve anything in life .

Things we learned in this movie:

Think like a mouse (similar characteristics in rats and humans).

Gusteau's luxurious restaurant it's designed like a theater. Dining room its a proscenium stage.
Even when Linguini's apartment was cheap in Paris, it had a multifunctional desk and a beautiful view of the Eiffel Tower.
Parisian Architecture: All kind of stories are involved in this city. We love the gothic style from Notre Dame, rosettes, gargoyles and obelisks are full of history.
