Like the French peasant stew for which it is named, this Pixar comedy is hearty and tasty, created from fresh ingredients and cooked up with unexpected flavors, and leaves a satisfying and inspiring warmth when it’s done.
Gilliam’s fantastical second feature is a a strange and weird and wonderful mix of boy’s own adventure, Python-esque humor, and grim irony, all wrapped in tall tales, ancient myths, and historical figures.
