Ratatouille is an amazing movie with an amazing story. It's one of the best movies to watch casually and to enjoy, as it has a simple plot with a unique concept. The movie introduces to Remy, a rat who has an ambition to become a chef, inspired by chef Auguste Gusteau’s philosophy that anyone can cook. Whereas his family is more concerned with survival. While the plot is simple and predictable, the movie executed the story well with a good balance between various elements of the movie.

Despicable Me 3 is a good standalone movie but is disappointing and lackluster when compared to its predecessors. The movie starts off showcasing Gru and Lucy on a mission to retrieve the stolen diamond from Balthazar Bratt a former child star. They end up failing to capture him and up getting fired. In a surprising twist, Gru finds out he has a twin brother. This premise is fascinating, but it also resulted in a movie that does not execute the story.

Despicable Me 2 is a perfect installment to the series and ties up to the first installment perfectly. The movie starts off with Gru continuing his job of being a parent and turning to living an honest life, but then his life takes a turn as he is hired by the anti-villain league to partner with Lucy Wilde to find the culprit who stole the research facility with dangerous contents. Gru’s transition, from being a villain to a hero, was fun to watch. We see Gru develop as a character and become a better person.
