Ratatoing has to be one of the worst animations ever created by humankind. And not only that - it's a rip-off of Ratatouille, even though the creators called it a derivative. The Brazilian company that made this also made The Little Cars, a rip-off series of Disney and Pixar's "Cars". The graphics in the first and second parts of the series could be easily compared to Super Mario 64 or something like that.
Anyway, the story takes place in Rio de Janeiro, where the most beloved Brazilian restaurant belongs to a rat (even though the trailer describes them as mice). The recipes cooked are gross, and I don't know why the trailer said that a mouse would eat them. A mouse would rather eat cheese or cardboard! Rats eat rotten stuff (well, not all of them). Did they try to do a lame attempt at preventing criticism for ripping off Ratatouille? They just failed.
Moving on, the restaurant belongs to a blue rat named Marcell Toing (why the hell did they call him that?). His partners are an anthro-shape pink rat with hair named Carol and a fat green rat named Greg, whose catchphrase is "Precisely!" Each week, Marcell, Carol and Greg raid the human's restaurant kitchen. But a group of rats want to know the secret of Marcell's recipes (the brown rat doesn't have a proper name), so they later get a highly trained cat after their previous attempts fail to try and stop the team. Can Marcell and his team survive the traps, obstacles and cat who walks on two legs like a fat dork? Unfortunately, they did.
I was thoroughly disgusted by watching this film. The voice acting is that of 4Kids Entertainment, the most recognisable being Dan Green. But this is no 4Kids dub. It still made my ears bleed as well as my eyes. The animation is godawful and the style of the rats is like Flushed Away crossed with Mortimer Mouse. Some of the marketing says it's inspired by Ratatouille, but I think it goes too far. Another bit of marketing says "Stunning 3D Animation". Yeah, right! Some of the marketing also says it's hilarious. But it's not. Unless you have a sense of humour in unintentional comedy, that is...
I recommend not getting Ratatoing. It's even worse than Barnyard and I think it's aimed at people who have a lack of IQ. You wouldn't want to buy the other stuff Toyland Video/Video Brinquedo have made. I haven't seen much of the rip-offs, nor do I plan to. Do Pixar and DreamWorks even know about this company? Because if they did, there'd be a huge lawsuit...
