Ratatouille is a movie that touched my heart deeply, not only did it make me revisit the association between mice and kitchens, but also provided firm support to those who dare to think about their dreams due to stereotypes. The courage that comes out of this movie not only made me nostalgic for the unique love I had for this movie as a child but also doubly so because of the courage it shows in the mice and the struggle the hero has in chasing his dream.
First of all, the movie breaks the traditional image of mice and kitchens in a very unique way. Generally, people tend to associate rats with the kitchen and think more of the scourge of the kitchen, however, Ratatouille boldly challenges this stereotype with a brave little mouse as the main character. This little mouse is no longer a "troublemaker" in the kitchen; instead, he aspires to realize his dreams through his hard work and ingenuity in an area that seems to have nothing to do with him. This story made me realize that stereotypes are sometimes unfair definitions of individuals and that everyone has the right to pursue their dreams and should not be bound by simple labels.
I felt the courage of the little mouse in the movie, who was not afraid of being in the human world and pursued his dream without flinching. In the face of adversity and confrontation, the mouse did not choose to retreat comfortably, but bravely went through those seemingly insurmountable boundaries. This inspired me to have the courage to pursue my dreams and made me realize that sometimes, it is only by not sticking to the norms and stereotypes that I can find my path.

(It's delicious!!)
The hero of the movie is also a character I admire. In the process of pursuing his dream, not only did he not see the mice as trouble, but he realized the importance of teamwork in cooperation. I felt the beauty of the hero's heart as he discovered more possibilities in his partner and experienced the great energy of teamwork. It made me realize deeply that cooperation and understanding with others is crucial in achieving one's dreams.
The movie taught me the importance of cooperation, and it made me better understand that in a team, the role of each member is indispensable. I felt the power of teamwork and realized the unique value of a partner in a team. It is by working hand in hand that the mouse and the hero can overcome all the difficulties and finally realize their respective dreams.
In my opinion, Ratatouille is not only an animated movie but also an emotionally resonant experience. I saw the courage and struggle in the movie and felt the positive energy conveyed by the mice and the hero. I think this movie has given me a new revelation about pursuing my dreams, and made me understand that in the process of realizing my ideals, I should not be restricted by stereotypes, and I should dare to break through the boundaries. I think "Ratatouille" is not just a children's movie, but also a vivid teaching material about bravery, cooperation, and dreams, which left me with profound insights.
