This is more of a movie review. At least it started that way
A flick arrived just the other day
It came to the screen in a humorous way
And there were French to watch, and dropping trays
I laughed a lot as the rodents played
And they were talking about cooking, and making stew
I say, I’m watching Ratatouille
You know it’s very funny, too
And the rat’s got a ladle and a serving spoon
Little Brad Bird and his anime “toon”
Rakin’ in the bucks, boy, go see again
Though tickets now cost a ten
Those movies now cost you a ten
That poor kitchen just got overrun
And I never saw rats havin’ so much fun
Can you teach them how to cook? Like this yarn has spun?
It’s quite a lot of hoo-ey, but it’s okay
And the music’s great, There’s so much to see
I’m gonna take it home with me, yeah
I’m gonna buy the DVD
And the rat’s got a ladle and a serving spoon
Little Brad Bird and his anime “toon”
Rakin’ in the bucks, boy, go see again
Though tickets now cost a ten
Those movies now cost you a ten
Well I looked in the sewer just the other day
I caught me a rat and I had to say
Rat, hey can you cook? Like the one that I saw?
He bit my thumb and I guess that mean “Naw”
“What I’d really like, Bud, is a friggin’ hunk of cheese
See you later, you can keep the fleas
And the rat’s got a ladle and a serving spoon
Little Brad Bird and his anime “toon”
Rakin’ in the bucks, boy, go see again
Though tickets now cost a ten
Those movies now cost you a ten
I bandaged up my thumb and that rat’s on the plate
I served him up to my Yahoo date
She said “What is this? I think it’s really fine”
I said “It’s very French, and it’s good with wine
You see, I learned from a movie just how to cook for you”
That said “Anyone Can Cook” it’s true, dear
And it’s sure nice cooking for you
And as I hung up my hat, it occurred to me
I’d made Ratatouille
I made Ratatouille
And the rat’s got a ladle and a serving spoon
Little Brad Bird and his anime “toon”
Rakin’ in the bucks, boy, go see again

I haven't even seen the movie yet, but this is GREAT!
This is rat on...very good write
i like what ya cooked up....5s
I liked the part about theaters charging ten. I will remember that before I decide to go to a movie.
Let me get this straight: Disney made a movie with a title no one can spell or pronounce? About a RAT? Who wants to go into a kitchen? In France? They should have called it "Pixar's Gate!"
You know two five's make ten, so have another 5... maybe you can splurge for that 12 oz popcorn or tiny soda or a box of Rasinets that has maybe 6 in the damn box. Why are movies so expensive? And the hypocrites wonder why Netflix is the bomb.
You know two fives make ten, so have a third "5" on me! Buy yourself that small popcorn or soda and watch Ratawhatthehelleveryouspellorpronounceit.
Anyone can cook, but not anyone can write parodies like Rick Duncan. Good job, man. 555
Thanks, all. I LOVED that movie, as I loved "The Incredibles". Without giving too much away, one particular scene struck me, as it seemed non-essential to the plot. The rat-hero is trying to explain to his brother the art of taste. The animators do this with color and sound in the background. Earlier, the rat -hero sees a light show and symphonies when savoring a great food, his brother barely gets a dull green mist. This is how I feel sometimes when explaining music to people. Others might feel like that when they view great art. It really separates the "artist" mentality from the rest. The last time I saw that concept displayed so well was in "Philidelphia", when Tom Hanks is listening opera with Denzel Washington.
Another movie about that artist mentality?---> Amadeus.
Loved it Rick! Are you going to do it at Open Mike?
