Saltzman Sees...Ratatouille (2007)

Ratatouille is a film about a disgusting rat who can make the most exquisite food.  In the human world, rats are despised, but in France, all that matters is the food.  And Remi, played by Patton Oswalt, can certainly cook.  The idea is so foreign to humans, that it takes the help of a down on his luck janitor to change their fates forever.

Ratatouille is the Best Family Picture of 2007 because of Remi's ability to prove to both humans and his father that being your own person can bring out the best in everyone.  It's a great movie to teach both independence and responsibility, without endorsing rebellion.  Remi doesn't want to lose the respect of his father or give up his life long dreams.
