Dare to Dream

Some of the year’s best movie memories came courtesy of Hollywood’s computer animation wizards. Travel the sewers of Paris with a rat named Remy who dreams of becoming a great French chef in “Ratatouille.” Take an unexpected detour with Lighting McQueen, the young racer who exits the fast lane to learn what life’s all about in “Cars.”

The 2007 Oscar nominees and some of the year’s hottest box office draws in animation will charm kids and anyone who’s ever dreamed big.
