Music reviews of Ratatouille

Music Review: Deliciously Delightful!
Rating: 5 Stars

As a food lover and an admirer of Paris, to have the two come together in one film is a dream come true. And what better genre of movie for this to happen than an animation, helmed by the old wisdom of Disney and the new talent of Pixar. I will definitely watch the film when it gets released here in Australia, but I got my hands on the score as soon as it was released.

I recall first getting to know Michael Giacchino through the score of THE INCREDIBLES, another Disney/Pixar masterpiece. I thought his music was quirky, light-hearted and expressive, but nonetheless did not impress me much. This time around, Giacchino has a brilliant story/medium on which to write his score, and he took every advantage of it. Frenchy, exciting, appetizing and at its heart - touching - Giacchino ought to be very proud of his achievement for RATATOUILLE. Indeed, I am a proud owner of it and I dare say this would finally get Giacchino a nod for Best Original Score come Oscar time next year.

"Le Festin", performed by Camille, is a fantastic opener and mood-setter. Camille's a great French chanteusse, and this song is entertaining and uplifting. I wouldn't be surprised if this song got nominated for an Oscar (Best Original Song). The theme found within "Le Festin" populates the entire score in different variations - tango-ed, slowed down/accelerated, jazzed up - it's all there.

As for the music, I find it difficult to impart to you anything more about it, other than it has your usual rich orchestration and interesting choice of instrumentation. Perhaps let me try telling you what it reminds me of: I always wanted a CD with that Parisian sidewalk cafe feeling; one that would give me a unique, indescribable feeling. Accordians on a breezy night, chattering that gives you the sense of company but never intrusively loud, soft ember glows emitted by Federation-style lamps, waiters bustling about in the most prim and proper of manners and gastronomically enticing food. RATAOUILLE conjures all these. Above all, it gives me such great pleasure listening to this CD - I'm sure you'd enjoy it just as much as I.

If you were lucky enough, such as I, to have experienced the magic of Disney's BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, and happen to recall a particular scene in which Lumierre, Cogsworth, Mrs Potts and Chip presented Belle with her dinner and the genius "Be Our Guest", and loved that - then you HAVE to get RATATOUILLE.

Three words from moi: "C'est tres bon!".

Description of Ratatouille

Ratatouille by Various

As befits an American movie set in France, this score starts off by quoting the French national anthem; fortunately, Michael Giacchino quickly turns off the cliché tap and gets the fun started. The composer, best known for his work on Alias and Lost, shows he can do light and nimble--and elegant, too: not many animated/kiddie movies have scores that evoke vintage Henry Mancini ("Losing Control"). "Wall Rat" is a good example of Giacchino's MO: It begins with a slightly melancholy melody played on the cello; that thread soon gives way to flutes and piccolo violins, which of course evoke the scampering of little feet--and that's when the bongos come in. Actually, those delicious bongos pop up regularly, flavoring the jazzy feel of "Cast of Cooks" or the tango-style "Special Order." Even when Giacchino uses that universal signifier of all things Gallic, the accordion, he does it sparingly ("A New Deal," "Ratatouille Main Theme") and with flair. And of course, Giacchino throws everything but the proverbial kitchen sink in the sprawling "End Creditouilles." Note that this instrumental CD starts off with the quirky pop song "Le Festin" (the feast) by the wonderful French vocalist Camille. --Elisabeth Vincentelli
