Every trailer I've seen for the last year and a half has me ready to go! I hope...
...the subject matter (food, France, etc.) isn't going to stop kids from enjoying it in a big way.
Pixar's animation is always cutting edge, with each new film going further into the art than ever before, so it should be beautiful to watch if you appreciate computer animation.
Their story lines are usually waaay stronger than their competition. (Then Shrek met his in-laws...Then Shrek's wife had a baby....Yaaaaawn!) I'm hoping for another good one here!
Can you tell I'm a big fan?

Love the pronounciation guide under the title...
Rec: Remy's Potato Leek Soup. Accompanying article says Thomas Keller does a voice and developed
the ratatouille recipe for the movie. Can't wait to hear what everyone thinks of it.
Remy's Potato Leek Soup
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 large leeks
2 large russet potatoes
5 cups chicken stock
Bouquet garni (recipe below)
1/2 cup cream
Chive oil (recipe below)
1/4 cup finely minced chives
Coarse salt, ground black pepper
Top the leeks, leaving some of the pale green, and remove the root. Slice lengthwise in half, and then slice each half crosswise into 1/4-inch slices. Immerse leeks in bowl of cold water, repeating until no sand remains, lifting leeks from one bowl to another with hands so you don't transfer sand. Melt butter in heavy saucepan over medium low heat, add leeks and sauté for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally so leeks do not brown. Cut potatoes into rough 1-inch dice and add to leeks.
Add chicken stock and bouquet garni, and simmer for about 20 minutes until potatoes are tender. Remove bouquet garni, transfer soup to blender in batches, purée until smooth, and transfer to clean pot. Reheat soup, add cream, and bring back to simmer for 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
To serve, drizzle with chive oil and garnish with finely minced chives.
Bouquet garni
Fold a 6-inch length of washed leek leaf in half, inserting several sprigs of fresh thyme and parsley, eight peppercorns and two bay leaves between the folded leaves. Tie with butcher's cord.
Chive oil
1 bunch chives, roughly chopped
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and ground black pepper
Add the chives to a food processor. With machine running, slowly add the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Strain through a fine sieve into a bowl or squeeze bottle and reserve.
Serves 6.

Make sure your raise your son right! Rent all those old b&w movies. . .
old color too! When my kids were little we went through the local video rental place to find movies for them to watch. My kids have seen everything from Abbot and Costello meet the Wolfman (or was it Frankenstein?) to old musicals. Too many kids my kids ages (teens now and early 20s) won't watch any black and white, which is sad because there are sooo many good movies out there that are not rated that are great for family viewing (or any viewing!).
I remember my son asking me, "Momma, what was the name of that movie where the guy was riding the horse through the cornfield and he started singing?)
Do you know the answer? Look below
Oklahoma!

Yep, musicals and "oldies: are great. My son knows all the songs from Cats - he cracks me up -
he's been stuck on "Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats" for the past week or so, standing on the back porch belting it out at the top of his lungs. His friends think he's a bit nutso.
