Beautiful Rat

After a weekend that at times had me on the verge of a Julianne Moore-in-Magnolia-style meltdown (c’était rien que la douleur exquise), I was happy to see things turn around – alright, they already had turned around – after I watched the trailer for the upcoming Ratatouille.

It’s the little things, you know.

The new Pixar film follows Remy, a young rat living within the walls of a famous Paris bistro, who wishes to become a chef, but is hindered by his family's skepticism and the bistro’s rat-despising staff and patrons.

Ratatouille sneaks into theaters on June 29. Check out the trailer here.
