A forthright Remy and his reluctant brother Emile speak out for oppressed rats everywhere. Remy rolls film explaining that rats see themselves as on a par with men, who, instead, make war on rats. Remy gives a history lesson: heroism in India, black rat migration from the Middle East to Europe during the Crusades, the Black Death of 1347 to 1352, and Remy's contention that the flea was the villain. Enter the brown or Norway rat - from China. Both travel on ships around the world, with the larger brown pushing out the smaller black, and both live symbiotically with man. Then, Emile explains what's cool about rats. Trade phobia, Remy tells humans, for utopia. Any chance of that?
Leave your thoughts about Your Friend the Rat.
| User ReviewMatthew AHonestly, Pixar's film, "Ratatouille," which is the movie this short is based on, is my least favorite Pixar movie (even though I still liked it), but I liked this short film |
| User ReviewBenjamin CThis video was charming, and educational. It recommend this short if you want to learn a thing or two on rats. |
| User ReviewKen SFunny little short that accompanied Ratatouille about getting to know and like rats as creatures, and not hate them as they've so long been by humans. It has its funny points, but it isn't my favorite, I wasn't the biggest fan of the movie this comes from...but I do love Patton Oswalt. It also features some of the first 2-D and Stop Motion animation Pixar has ever attempted. |
| User ReviewEdgar CUtterly pointless. No constructive comment can be done from this point. 44/100 |
| User ReviewYash BA film that extols the virtues of rats whilst mocking the plague and the atomic bomb. Okay I realise that it is tongue in cheek but it's still a poor effort from Pixar. The sole plus point being an interesting use of animation techniques. |
