Ratatouille

Went to the movies today. Guess what I saw?

I had a great time but I couldn't help but make an interesting observation. Pixar had clearly invested a great deal of effort into making the rodent characters lovable and appealing to a generally rat-resistant audience without losing many of the qualities intrinsic t those lovely worm-tailes creatures. They also obviously invested a huge amount of time and effort into creating gorgeous Paris-scapes, showing the City of Lights at its best. What they neglected to do was eliminate the same sterotypical images of French people that are so often present in American media.

So now it's okay to be a rat..... just not French.

A bientot, mes amis!
