icepixieRatatouille is out on DVD, and we rented it because Dad hadn't seen it yet and I wanted to see it again.
Of course the movie was good--I believe I went on at length after I saw it in the theater about how it's one of the most adorable films I've ever seen, and I want to hug it and squeeze it and call it George. But as a bonus for the DVD, they also had a short film called, "Your Friend the Rat," a vaguely musical history of rats, hosted by Remy and Emile. It was cute and amusing all the way through, but the best part? When dramatizing why Alberta was particularly rat-free, they depicted the battle between Mountie and Rat as a video game wherein the Mountie (somehow dressed simultaneously in both the dress reds and the outfit of a particularly patriotic hockey goalie) used his arm padding/shield, which had a Canadian flag on it, to...shoot a laser in the shape of a maple leaf at the rat. I was on the floor.
(Oh, look, someone put it on YouTube. Why am I not surprised? Watch, it's hilarious.)

Now I really want to cook my sausage-and-garbanzo-bean soup tomorrow. (Much like Linguine, I am winging it with the soup. This...is the first time I've ever made a soup that doesn't come condensed in a can. I hope it turns out edible.)

The movie is so good. Like, should-be-in-the-running-for-the-Oscars,-and-not-just-the-technical-categories good.
