Just got back from seeing it... with three other adults, and a total of ten children.

I loved it, found it absolutely splendid -- inspiring and entertaining.

We saw it after waiting in a long line at the hipper-than-thou Alamo Drafthouse Theater, which also had a line, albeit muchmuch shorter, for Sicko. When we exited, there was another huge line for the next showing of Ratatoiulle... and only a handful of children were in it. Very interesting.

(On a side note: there was a guy in the front of the lobby with a basket of pet rats. The kids were fighting to hold them, and even I couldn't resist picking one up and playing with it. Very sweet little animal. Maybe it was the pint of Stella Artois I had, or maybe the flick succeeded in making the normally offensive absolutely irresistible.)

I saw it last week...in French! Terrific movie and the French audience APPLAUDED when it was over!!!

As for the cleanliness issue, I think Bird DID address it by making sure that Rémy washed his paws before cooking and hilariously washing his whole clan in the industrial dishwasher before he sets them to work in the kitchen. LOL

Vive Rémy!
