I'll leave the robots to Pansy and just blog all-Ratatouille all the time. I'd love to write a long, leisurely review but Happy Catholic Julie wrote a good one, so I'll just link to it and say, "what she said":
When "Fin" came up on the screen, I suppressed an impulse to applaud. No need. The audience around me, without my reservations, burst into applause anyway.
There was applause when I saw it, too.
Two themes I want to tie together at some point. Julie quotes Juila Child:
Noncooks think it's silly to invest two hours' work in two minutes' enjoyment; but if cooking is evanescent, so is the ballet.
I want to pull out Pieper's Leisure: The Basis of Culture
and consider that idea in the light of Pieper's comments on sacrifice.
