From Album Details:
Soundtrack to the Hit Walt Disney/Pixar Animation Studios Film "Ratatouillie". Australian Version features Four Additiontal Tracks. Features Original Music by Michael Giacchino and Song Performance by Camille.
From Amazon.com:
As befits an American movie set in France, this score starts off by quoting the French national anthem; fortunately, Michael Giacchino quickly turns off the cliché tap and gets the fun started. The composer, best known for his work on Alias and Lost, shows he can do light and nimble--and elegant, too: not many animated/kiddie movies have scores that evoke vintage Henry Mancini ("Losing Control"). "Wall Rat" is a good example of Giacchino's MO: It begins with a slightly melancholy melody played on the cello; that thread soon gives way to flutes and piccolo violins, which of course evoke the scampering of little feet--and that's when the bongos come in. Actually, those delicious bongos pop up regularly, flavoring the jazzy feel of "Cast of Cooks" or the tango-style "Special Order." Even when Giacchino uses that universal signifier of all things Gallic, the accordion, he does it sparingly ("A New Deal," "Ratatouille Main Theme") and with flair. And of course, Giacchino throws everything but the proverbial kitchen sink in the sprawling "End Creditouilles." Note that this instrumental CD starts off with the quirky pop song "Le Festin" (the feast) by the wonderful French vocalist Camille. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

The soundtrack from the movie is awsome. Cook up some ratatouille while dancing to the music; and clean up after the same way.
I've already learned all the songs on my piano from listening to the soundtrack. :-)

Ratatouille Review

I love Pixar movies, but then again, who doesn't? One thing I enjoy a lot about movies is the original scores often written for them. Michael Giacchino has been one of my favorite composers since his work for the Medal of Honor series, but Ratatouille has to be one of his best. The incorporation of so many genres (jazz especially) and a multitude of wonderful themes is really amazing. The music suits the movie perfectly while also being a fantastic listening experience on its own. Randy Newman did great work for the earlier Pixar films, and Thomas Newman for Finding Nemo as well as Wall-E, but this is one of the best and a truly world-class score (nominated for an Academy Award it should have won, rather than the inferior Atonement). And if you like Giacchino's work for Ratatouille, do yourself a favor and pick up the soundtrack for The Incredibles as well.

Anyone who has seen this movie will agree that it is up to Pixar's usual level of excellence. Almost getting to be boring isn't it? Headline: Ratatouille, A new Disney/Pixar film another smash, even sounds boring, But it's not the soundtrack to this film is perphaps the best ever made for a show about a rat who works in Paris as a gourmet chef! But seriously it does make for wonderful listening and is truly a rare treat in a world full of junk music. Bon Appeitit!

An Utterly Charming Score -

Ratatouille Review

Many times the music for a film somehow does not grab your attention but Ratatouille was one of the few films whose music score made you sit up and listen. The music is vibrant, comical and charming, and is integral to the enjoyment of the film. The score makes use of many different instruments to paint the many moods of Ratatouille such as ukulele, banjo, guitar, accordion and musette and even whistling. The result is a rich and complex score that, heard on its own, is equally pleasing as hearing it as part of the film.
The soundtrack begins with the end: the song sung in the last scene comes first and the main title music concludes the disc. The remaining tracks come as they appeared in the film, and hearing the song first does make a good introduction to the music. Of my favorites, the wall rat music where the orchestra begins reflectively but the mood soon shifts as flutes describe Remy scurrying through the walls of a building, describing his encounters, with strings and other instruments helping to set the scene. Michael Giacchino's music is always changing and can be surprising in the instrument pairings, and is never boring; a great disc to play anytime.
