Ratty

About This Movie

So, ‘Ratty’ is this quirky little animated film from 1986 that really captures a unique vibe. It’s all about this teenage rat who’s trying to impress his girlfriend, but his siblings are eavesdropping through a keyhole – kind of funny, kind of sweet. The animation style is simple yet charming, with a hand-drawn aesthetic that gives it a nostalgic feel. The pacing’s a bit uneven, but it adds to its charm, I think. There’s a nice mix of music that feels playful and fits the whimsical tone. It’s not your usual animation fare, and that’s what makes it stand out. The performances, though they’re animated, really bring the characters to life in a way that feels genuine. It’s an oddity worth having in a collection for sure.
