Since the opening of Ratatouille in England, pet rats have become more popular than ever. In fact, Britain's Pets at Home chain said sales have skyrocketed [1] 50 percent since the film premiered there on October 12! Many rodents, especially rats, get a bad rap despite their high levels of intelligence and trainability. While I certainly don't think movies should prompt people to adopt any pets, I do like to see maligned animals get a chance to shine in the public eye. I'm curious to know how you feel – share with me in your comments below!
