#PixarinApril: Ratatouille time! The movie has powerful things to say about the nature of art, as well as the difficulty of doing something truly original & finding an audience for that. The most important quotes from the film, according to me anyway, are in the thread below.

"The world is often unkind to new talent, new creations, the new needs friends... Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere." --Anton Ego #PixarinApril

"In many ways, the work of a critic is easy...But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so." --Anton Ego #PixarinApril

Remy : Change *is* nature, Dad. The part that *we* can influence. And it starts when we decide.
[he turns to leave]
Django : Where are you going?
Remy : With luck, forward. #PixarinApril

This is honestly one of my favorite quotes in all of the Pixar films. It gets right to the heart of the uncertainty that comes along with originality and creativity. We never know if what we're embarking on will be successful; we just try to move forward. #PixarinApril
