Ratatouille

Remy is a rat with the impossible dream of becoming a chef in Paris, the culinary capital of the world. When he arrives at the kitchens of Gusteau's restaurant, the former premises of France's most famous chef, he establishes a secret agreement with Linguini, the clumsy new employee: Remy cooks, Linguini takes the credit. Brad Bird directed the most sophisticated Pixar film in terms of artistic philosophy: a defense of individual talent and a critique of the critic as an arbiter of merit.

Ratatouille is Pixar's film about art: the idea that "anyone can cook" doesn't mean that everyone is equal, but that talent can appear in any unexpected place. Anton Ego's final monologue is the best critique of art criticism that cinema has written.
