Finally, a rated G movie! An animated movie that is truly for children without hidden adult humor or innuendos (that is why I didn’t want to see Shrek.)
Amy and I were at Petsmart looking at the mouse cages and didn’t see anything cute about them. So how can Pixar make a rat look adorable? It’s the eyes, the blue fur, and the cute personality of Remy that makes it possible for a rat to be an endearing main character.
Three highlights of the movie for me:
The irony of a street rat, usually considered dirty and carrying all kinds of diseases, who does not walk on all 4’s to keep his hands clean for eating.
“If you are what you eat, then I want to eat only what is good.”
The family of rats came to Remy’s rescue despite disagreeing with what he was doing. “We do not cook, but we are family.”
My review: 5 stars, no need to worry about inappropriate themes for children or teens, totally entertaining with good morals.
