Ratatouille: The TikTok Musical

Ratatouille is arguably the greatest western animated movie. This version was unbearable. Your better off finding something else to watch than ruining the childhood memories.

This is a disgrace to one of the best animated films ever.

In an era of cash cows and soulless cash grabs- not to mention the unfortunate and devastating effects of COVID on our society- it is rare to find a piece of media as creative as this one. The fact that the entire musical was written by everyday people proves that community will always triumph over distance and distrust, and this heartwarming message of shared passion overcoming all barriers is potent in this musical. It is a brilliant, focused, powerful display of emotion and unity; it celebrates our differences and reminds us of our similarities; and it never forgets itself. The musical helped me forget the feelings of terror from the pandemic for a while. For that, it has more than earned a ten star review.

Out of the box, great cast, perfect songs, and the story behind it all is amazing. Hope this gets a real life live version. Because a recording doesn't do it full justice.

Let me just say this it is amazing that this even exists. It is a testament to the strong communities on TikTok.

It has plenty of cringe and I have my complaints. You can often tell that people are reading from their scripts which is fairly annoying because I believe the clips were pre-recorded so... maybe do another take. There is also very little communicated visually beyond the characters so if you've never seen the original film you probably won't know what's going on. This could have been easily fixed with a good editor, but I get that they didn't really have a budget. Still, I wish they would have given me a call.

That being said, everyone put's on a great performance. I hope to see this put into a proper stage production because I think everyone would do amazing. And the one thing that indefinably doesn't disappointing is the music! Seriously, where can I get the soundtrack? These songs a fire!
