I love Pixar movies, but then again, who doesn't? One thing I enjoy a lot about movies is the original scores often written for them. Michael Giacchino has been one of my favorite composers since his work for the Medal of Honor series, but Ratatouille has to be one of his best. The incorporation of so many genres (jazz especially) and a multitude of wonderful themes is really amazing. The music suits the movie perfectly while also being a fantastic listening experience on its own. Randy Newman did great work for the earlier Pixar films, and Thomas Newman for Finding Nemo as well as Wall-E, but this is one of the best and a truly world-class score (nominated for an Academy Award it should have won, rather than the inferior Atonement). And if you like Giacchino's work for Ratatouille, do yourself a favor and pick up the soundtrack for The Incredibles as well.
Anyone who has seen this movie will agree that it is up to Pixar's usual level of excellence. Almost getting to be boring isn't it? Headline: Ratatouille, A new Disney/Pixar film another smash, even sounds boring, But it's not the soundtrack to this film is perphaps the best ever made for a show about a rat who works in Paris as a gourmet chef! But seriously it does make for wonderful listening and is truly a rare treat in a world full of junk music. Bon Appeitit!
