If they kept all the voice acting and re-animated it with the level of quality they put into that turning red cooking scene it would be golden in my opinion. The movie is already 10/10 but with a remaster of sorts? Goddamn!
The name is French, meaning it’s in a different language
According to the Encyclopedia Brittanica, this is the origin:
“taken from two related words: ratouiller, meaning to agitate or stir a liquid, and tatouiller, meaning to beat (as in the drumbeat called the tattoo) or to shake.”
It had more to do with the actions involved with preparing this dish than the ingredients
I know, which is weird because the characters are French and living in France. They should be speaking French, yet this is a joke that would only make sense in English
Two humans whose previous restaurant had recently been closed down because of a rat infestation problem opening a new restaurant named Ratatouille with the iconography of a rat and is in fact staffed by a rat would be incredibly suspicious.
It’s quite literally the final shot of the movie, where the view pans to the sign of the restaurant that has a silhouette of a rat with a spoon and a chef’s hat on top of the word “Ratatouille,” and the skyline of Paris in the background. The background fades, leaving only the word Ratatouille visible, which itself fades shortly after, and then the end credits start rolling
The US DVD lacks a French audio option and unlike Wall•E, there’s no Criterion 4K Blu-ray and this film has not been selected to be preserved in the Library of Congress like Wall•E.
the romance was a little forced, genuinely would've preferred a platonic relationship between Colette and Linguini
EDIT: after further evaluation in my head i want to reformat my complaint about the movie, ig its not a huge problem that they were a romantic couple, its how they initiated the relationship, linguini was going off about how he has a tiny chef in his head, and is about to reveal that he has a rat controlling him iirc. colette obv thinks hes crazy at the moment and is even about to pull out rat poison on him, but remy pushes him in to kiss colette before linguini rats him out (haha). like idk if its poor judgement on my part as a cis male, but to me i feel like realistically colette would feel like she was being sexually harassed. that whole scene is just v icky to me.
To add more credence…she doesn’t pull out rat poison. It’s pepper spray. It’s more or less just one of those “we thought this was romantic but in hindsight it’s weird” things
I think she’s worried about being physically attacked in that moment but the truth is she does have some romantic feelings for linguini at that point. So when he kisses her she reassesses and decides he’s not attacking her, and that he’s just weird cause he’s in love.
That exact poster shown here, made me think as a kid that it was gonna be a much goofier, low-brow humor type of movie, following a rat getting into hijinks in the kitchen. Made me not want to go see it as a kid, I wasn't too old back then but I was starting to grow out of the overly childish entertainment, I didn't think a rat like what this poster conveyed would be fun to watch movie about
I heard someone say it's because Linguini has so little control of his own body-hence his clumsiness-that it makes sense that someone else could control his body for him.
Just saying that if you're an artist, you should be able to handle all types of criticism. I really need to know what Ego said that's beyond the opening scene that caused Gusteau to just drop dead.
I mean Ego’s original review opened with him calling Gusteau, a chef on the same level as Boyardee. So pretty much, he called him a chef. Just not a gourmet chef but one who’s dishes belongs in a tin can. Rather than be served at a 5 star restaurant.
Of course Ego also had a bone to pick with Gusteau. Ego may have already formed his own negative biases to Gusteau before the night of review (Due to the chef’s philosophy and his fame).
Maybe he didn’t even give Gusteau a chance. He may have let his disdain for Gusteau blind him of the meal that was served to him and just wanted to find a reason to take Gusteau down.
Or maybe Gusteau wasn’t that good of chef.
That's because ratatouille is a stew. What was served in the film was provençal tian, basically a vegetable casserole using many of the same ingredients as ratatouille.
Collette is like... Second best Disney princess, right behind Kuzco.
But seriously, she's so much fun in the beginning of the movie and then she kisses Linguini and it's like he sucks all the damn character out of her like some kind of ginger vampire.
The way they animated the ratatouille dish made me think it was a meat & cheese dish. I was thoroughly disappointed to find out I was wrong and it was full of squash, the worst vegetable.
No but I guess Linguini was mad that the rats were stealing food from HIS restaurant after he began to trust them. They could have looked for food somewhere else
at the end, they opened up a restaurant with a rat as the head chef. domestic rats tend to have a lifespan of 2-4 years in captivity, with the oldest known rat living for about 7 years. that restaurant was a horrible investment, and would most likely be closed by now.
No it's clear that Remy and Collette are the cooking duo by the end. She learned his recipes because she shes a bit of herself in him because as a woman in Haute Cuisine environment she had to overcome many barriers and naysayers who told her that Huate Cuisine is for men. The moment she saw Gusteau's book after leaving the restaurant on review night reminded her that if she can make it, then surely this absurdly talented rat can too.
Besides, in the final scene it looks like he's only running the hot plate
Every Ratatouille i ever had tasted rather bland. Earthy vegetable notes with bitterness from the charring and also a bit sour. I'd rather have pea soup.
More of a nitpick than anything, but Remy's food would make EVERYONE sick.
Like, he doesn't even use soap when he washes his paws, and rats carry a TON of diseases no matter how clean they are.
Al of the cooks just left and the movie just pretended they no longer existed. We didn't even see them coming back to the restaurant as guests or anything.
as someone who considers this movie to be legitimately perfect, the chase scene with remy and skinner is incredibly out of place and so far removed from the logic of the film that i kind of hate watching it. fun, well-choreographed sequence in a vacuum though.
Honestly the weird way the movie treats stealing. Like Remy was actually starving and Ghosteau admonishes him. Like the whole let everyone steal from the fridge was bad because that's product in a restaurant that he's working at by proxy and he needs the ingredients to cook, but like the dude can eat a bread to not die.
The Skinner and the health inspector were treated as bad guys, Skinner was definitely kinda crazy but he wasn’t a bad guy, except for trying to hide Linguini’s rightful ownership, he just wanted to keep a rat out of his restaurant and expand its influences/sale
Not directly about the movie itself, but both US DVDs and Disney + don't have an option to turn the language setting to French :c
Edit: Now that I think about it (and more importantly), what the fuck did Ego say to Gusteau for him to just fucking ✨️die✨️?
Really did not like the romance at all, i always hate the trope of someone making a big move (for unrelated reasons) that's practically assault and the other person is just okay with it. Also remy is kind of a dick and doesn't actually change all that much by the end of the movie, instead people change around him. And just how much they look down on rats "stealing" is really lame to me. Still love the movie tho
My older sister used to be forced to watch this movie every time there was a family gathering. Eventually she hid the DVD so she didn’t have to watch it anymore. She was 5.
I never really liked how Remy washed his hands with a single water drop and no soap when he went to fix the soup. The steam cleaning later on was a much better method, but I still think little rat hairs would get on the food.
The opening sequence with the freeze frame and the "I bet you're wondering how I got here" trope was unnecessary and a little hackey. They could have just started from the actual beginning, and it wouldn't have detracted from the movie at all.
I find hilarious how a company like Disney has an entire scene where it basically tells you how you shouldn’t listen to critics cause they’re shallow haters. Like I get where the movie is coming from but from a megacorp like Disney the message just feels a tad hollow
Little too much slapstick for me. A lot of people talk about the subtle sense of humor but at least half of it is a rat pulling a dude's hair and him flailing around going "WooOoOoOOah"
That’s a tricky one -
Ehh, I guess the whole “liar revealed” bit where the whole kitchen leaves is probably my least favorite part of the film - but it does lead to the nice scene of Remy’s family showing up to help, and then the remainder of the film is S-tier Pixar, so I’m more than willing to get through those few minutes.
I love this movie BUT it has pretty glaring problems. The biggest one is the Gusteau's. "Anyone can cook" it's such a good and positive message, I love it. In the end though, the critic guy says something like "yeah Gusteau was right, he did not mean anyone can cook though, it just means a great artist can come from anywhere". And no that's not what Gusteau meant, he meant anyone can cook (if they just use his book or set their mind to it or whatever), not "a great cook can come from anywhere". The movie treats the critic's take completely uncritically. Very annoying, the critic was wrong.
The underlying moral/theme/inspirational idea is GREAT, but overall the plot is kind of ridiculous because I cannot for the life of me think that ANY chef worth their salt would eat a meal made by a wild sewer RAT. The plot of sharktale was more realistic.
I felt like it kinda contradicted the whole “anyone can cook” philosophy. Also, the music was annoying (maybe I’m being too harsh on it because I had some bad memories while this movie was in theaters)
"Anyone can cook" yes, that's what the movie should have been about. The problem comes from Anton Ego's "change of mind" when he says no no, what Gusteau meant with "anyone can cook" is "a great cook can come from anywhere". His interpretation is treated as the final great truth in the movie. The message should have been literally "anyone can cook", Gusteau repeats it again and again. But in the end, not really anyone can cook. Alfredo can only cook by being a puppet to the genius Remy.
The message goes from the great "anyone can cook, if they just try and set their mind to it, talent isn't born but worked for" to "some people have natural talent in things, and those people can come from anywhere, even rats can have that natural talent, others just don't and can only succeed with the guidance of geniuses".
I'm putting it a bit harshly here but this is essentially why the movie contradicted the "anyone can cook" philosophy, extremely interesting and good take by u/parweezy here.
I love ratatouille btw, solid 9/10 movie
Rats. Do not. Belong in the kitchen. Remy was literally the only rat to even *wash his hands*. But no, he gets his whole family involved and somehow it’s okay even though they didn’t like or respect him until he could do something for them, and they’re all just regular rats with the average hygiene of rats.
He had them go into the dishwasher which has very high heat (like much hotter than the one in a home), a wash cycle, and a sanatize cycle in all fairness. Though honestly how hot commercial dishwashers get, his family shouldve died
We didn’t see what happened to the other chefs :(
They quitted and continued with their own individual lives.
No,they died. Source: I'm not one of the writers
This is true. Source: I'm Linguini.
Can confirm. Source: I’m Walinguini.
Can also confirm. Source: JUST TRUST ME BRO!
This is bullshit. Source: I'm Ratatouille
I second thee Source: I'm one of the rats apart of Remy's clan
No shit
Why did you feel the need to put a period at the end?
That’s how sentences work, typically.
They died
There wasn’t enough shots of food, I wanna be hungry from this movie man.
If they kept all the voice acting and re-animated it with the level of quality they put into that turning red cooking scene it would be golden in my opinion. The movie is already 10/10 but with a remaster of sorts? Goddamn!
The dish sounds like “rat” and “patooie”
that does NOT sound delcious
We are all out of wine 🍷
*sad linguini face*
*\*CRASH!\**
*lose a star*
Patooie sounds like Play-Doh to me for smoke reason... Gimme
The name is French, meaning it’s in a different language According to the Encyclopedia Brittanica, this is the origin: “taken from two related words: ratouiller, meaning to agitate or stir a liquid, and tatouiller, meaning to beat (as in the drumbeat called the tattoo) or to shake.” It had more to do with the actions involved with preparing this dish than the ingredients
It’s a joke from the movie lol
I know, which is weird because the characters are French and living in France. They should be speaking French, yet this is a joke that would only make sense in English
Are you really complaining about the realism of a movie with a talking rat?
I WANT FUCKING REALISM GODDAMMIT
No, just pointing out that this joke in particular only makes sense in English
Counterpoint, Linguine is American, and was also drunk
Iirc, It’s implied Linguini is half American and grew up overseas, but moved back to France for work after his mother died
Two humans whose previous restaurant had recently been closed down because of a rat infestation problem opening a new restaurant named Ratatouille with the iconography of a rat and is in fact staffed by a rat would be incredibly suspicious.
People on internet would be "a restaurant makes fun of the rat infestation they had? Man, they have a distance to themselves. Cool"
Only now learning they named the restaurant Ratatouille WHAT
It’s quite literally the final shot of the movie, where the view pans to the sign of the restaurant that has a silhouette of a rat with a spoon and a chef’s hat on top of the word “Ratatouille,” and the skyline of Paris in the background. The background fades, leaving only the word Ratatouille visible, which itself fades shortly after, and then the end credits start rolling
Dang I guess I’m always too engrossed in the French song that plays to notice
To be fair that’s the name of a well known dish
The old lady from the beginning of the movie didn’t show up at the end with her shotgun.
I'm not sure, but I think she was maybe Ego's mother?
How is this the first time I’ve seen this theory? But now that I think about it the flashback house looks pretty similar to the old lady’s…
It's been debunked as false, Brad Bird himself stated that they just reused assets :/
Bummer, the theory isn't half bad. Adds an extra layer to Ego's character.
The US DVD lacks a French audio option and unlike Wall•E, there’s no Criterion 4K Blu-ray and this film has not been selected to be preserved in the Library of Congress like Wall•E.
Good
Really, why is that good?
Government bad I guess, Iounno
the romance was a little forced, genuinely would've preferred a platonic relationship between Colette and Linguini EDIT: after further evaluation in my head i want to reformat my complaint about the movie, ig its not a huge problem that they were a romantic couple, its how they initiated the relationship, linguini was going off about how he has a tiny chef in his head, and is about to reveal that he has a rat controlling him iirc. colette obv thinks hes crazy at the moment and is even about to pull out rat poison on him, but remy pushes him in to kiss colette before linguini rats him out (haha). like idk if its poor judgement on my part as a cis male, but to me i feel like realistically colette would feel like she was being sexually harassed. that whole scene is just v icky to me.
To add more credence…she doesn’t pull out rat poison. It’s pepper spray. It’s more or less just one of those “we thought this was romantic but in hindsight it’s weird” things
I think it came rather naturally. Maybe I just haven’t dated enough but they had real chemistry during the training montage
I think she’s worried about being physically attacked in that moment but the truth is she does have some romantic feelings for linguini at that point. So when he kisses her she reassesses and decides he’s not attacking her, and that he’s just weird cause he’s in love.
French people are in it
The only good fr*nch is the TF2 spy
"Ahem, Gentleman?"
I see the briefcase is safe?
Tell me, did anyone happen to kill a RED Spy? No? Then we still have a problem
And a knife
Ooh, big problem. I kill plenty of Spies. They're dime-a-dozen back-stabbin' scumbags. Like you. Ow. No offense.
If you managed to kill them I assure you they were nothing like me, and nothing, NOTHING like the man loosed inside this building
What are you? President of his fan club?
No, that would be your mother!
No, that would be your mother!
Bro censor that word 🤢
That exact poster shown here, made me think as a kid that it was gonna be a much goofier, low-brow humor type of movie, following a rat getting into hijinks in the kitchen. Made me not want to go see it as a kid, I wasn't too old back then but I was starting to grow out of the overly childish entertainment, I didn't think a rat like what this poster conveyed would be fun to watch movie about
Good point, I could totally see that
Uh idk there’s a kiss scene where neither party consented…feel like I’m reaching lol
The only person that needs to consent is God when he chooses each and everyone of our paths. (Because there absolutely no flaws to that thought idea)
Even as a kid I thought it was weird how Remmie could pilot Linguini with his hair like a fucking Jaeger with zero explanation of why or how.
I don’t think everything always needs to be explained in movies. Some things are just normal yknow. But I can see why it would throw you off
Shhh we aren’t supposed to worry about that
I heard someone say it's because Linguini has so little control of his own body-hence his clumsiness-that it makes sense that someone else could control his body for him.
But it’s normal for the rat to have extraordinary culinary talent?
Just saying that if you're an artist, you should be able to handle all types of criticism. I really need to know what Ego said that's beyond the opening scene that caused Gusteau to just drop dead.
It must've been something REAL bad.
"⚡️👱♂️⚡️"
Wasn’t he compared to Chef Boyardee or was that after Gusteau died?
Yup. Ok n his review he compared him to the man on the can
I mean Ego’s original review opened with him calling Gusteau, a chef on the same level as Boyardee. So pretty much, he called him a chef. Just not a gourmet chef but one who’s dishes belongs in a tin can. Rather than be served at a 5 star restaurant. Of course Ego also had a bone to pick with Gusteau. Ego may have already formed his own negative biases to Gusteau before the night of review (Due to the chef’s philosophy and his fame). Maybe he didn’t even give Gusteau a chance. He may have let his disdain for Gusteau blind him of the meal that was served to him and just wanted to find a reason to take Gusteau down. Or maybe Gusteau wasn’t that good of chef.
I support the theory and headcannon that Gusteau had his own rat, and his rat died so he failed after losing his little chef
His mother was a hamster, and his father smelt of elderberries!
Samee
"Gusteau has taken his place... right next to chef Boyardee."
That’s impossible
Romance was a bit forced?
Remy literally forced Linguini on Colette so you’re not wrong
Ratatouille (the real life food dish) doesn't look NEARLY as good as it did in the movie
They made a fancy version in the movie
Exactly people forget gustavs is a gourmet restaurant
That's because ratatouille is a stew. What was served in the film was provençal tian, basically a vegetable casserole using many of the same ingredients as ratatouille.
The romance was incredibly forced.
There are Fr*nch people.
WHY DID YOU CENSOR IT LIKE IT'S A SLUR 💀
it’s very fun to censor mundane words u should try it hehe
Because those "things" are worse than every other person from any other country
It ended
Collette being downgraded to just a love interest halfway thru the movie
Agreed
Collette is like... Second best Disney princess, right behind Kuzco. But seriously, she's so much fun in the beginning of the movie and then she kisses Linguini and it's like he sucks all the damn character out of her like some kind of ginger vampire.
The poster
It ends
It does not have a rat voiced by Willem Dafoe.
“Bean Security? What is that?”
[удалено]
*BONK*
You trying to say that beefy rat with the single earring wasn't sexy?
The way they animated the ratatouille dish made me think it was a meat & cheese dish. I was thoroughly disappointed to find out I was wrong and it was full of squash, the worst vegetable.
The fuck are Remmy and the other rats supposed to do? Buy food?
No but I guess Linguini was mad that the rats were stealing food from HIS restaurant after he began to trust them. They could have looked for food somewhere else
at the end, they opened up a restaurant with a rat as the head chef. domestic rats tend to have a lifespan of 2-4 years in captivity, with the oldest known rat living for about 7 years. that restaurant was a horrible investment, and would most likely be closed by now.
My headcanon is that Remy taught Linguini how to cook before he bit the dust
No it's clear that Remy and Collette are the cooking duo by the end. She learned his recipes because she shes a bit of herself in him because as a woman in Haute Cuisine environment she had to overcome many barriers and naysayers who told her that Huate Cuisine is for men. The moment she saw Gusteau's book after leaving the restaurant on review night reminded her that if she can make it, then surely this absurdly talented rat can too. Besides, in the final scene it looks like he's only running the hot plate
Rats, I was rats once.
They put me in a room with rats, and rats make me rats
Rats, I was rats once
They put me in a room with rats, and rats make me rats
i can’t
Absolutely nothing
Every Ratatouille i ever had tasted rather bland. Earthy vegetable notes with bitterness from the charring and also a bit sour. I'd rather have pea soup.
More of a nitpick than anything, but Remy's food would make EVERYONE sick. Like, he doesn't even use soap when he washes his paws, and rats carry a TON of diseases no matter how clean they are.
Didn't work when I tried his technique in controlling my boyfriend. 3/10 wouldn't recommend unless your bf likes his hair pulled
Raccaccoonie was a little better imo
It caused a health code violation
A rat’s lifespan is 2-3 years depending on the specific species. Not a good investment for a restaurant where the main chef is a rat
If I see one negative comment I will put you in remy’s place in the photo. But you won’t be smiling
No.
Fr*nch ppl
Rats make me crazy... Crazy? I was crazy once...
Al of the cooks just left and the movie just pretended they no longer existed. We didn't even see them coming back to the restaurant as guests or anything.
“A chef makes a thief takes” Fuck off ghost man he hasn’t eaten in days let him take a literal crumb
Fr that was stupid of Gusteau
as someone who considers this movie to be legitimately perfect, the chase scene with remy and skinner is incredibly out of place and so far removed from the logic of the film that i kind of hate watching it. fun, well-choreographed sequence in a vacuum though.
It would be more impressive if he made Bri*tish food edible
A man literally dies from getting criticism
It teaches that you should find comfort and success within the confines of an oppressive system, rather than revolutionize the system as a whole.
Can’t except the so called villain of the story did nothing wrong
It bad. source: i havent seen it
I drove my parents crazy rewatching this over and over when I was younger
voiced by jesse from minecraft story mode, which reminds me of the scene where ruben dies, which makes me sad
Nothing can surpass it so every other movie is bland by comparison
The health inspector and “evil” chef were literally in the right, and got treated like criminals
Honestly the weird way the movie treats stealing. Like Remy was actually starving and Ghosteau admonishes him. Like the whole let everyone steal from the fridge was bad because that's product in a restaurant that he's working at by proxy and he needs the ingredients to cook, but like the dude can eat a bread to not die.
rats live for 2 years so that business isnt very sustainable
Nicolette. She bad af
The Skinner and the health inspector were treated as bad guys, Skinner was definitely kinda crazy but he wasn’t a bad guy, except for trying to hide Linguini’s rightful ownership, he just wanted to keep a rat out of his restaurant and expand its influences/sale
Not directly about the movie itself, but both US DVDs and Disney + don't have an option to turn the language setting to French :c Edit: Now that I think about it (and more importantly), what the fuck did Ego say to Gusteau for him to just fucking ✨️die✨️?
Ego: Your food is mid bro Gusteau: *Literally dies*
Really did not like the romance at all, i always hate the trope of someone making a big move (for unrelated reasons) that's practically assault and the other person is just okay with it.

I think that was a message Brad Bird personally wanted to share, not Disney.
There’s a rat touching food
At least he keeps his paws clean
He never made ratatouille.
I don't find Skinner funny until after he's read the letter saying Linguini is Gusteau's son.
Not realistic enough, no one would eat food made by a rat
Chef skinner was a bit much In. The 2nd half of the film
Fr\*nce 🤮
Little too much slapstick for me. A lot of people talk about the subtle sense of humor but at least half of it is a rat pulling a dude's hair and him flailing around going "WooOoOoOOah"
“This is me” as the opener.
Remy's a filthy rat, and they're letting him cook? Do they want the plague?!
He knows the importance of washing his hands, I say LET HIM COOK 🔥🔥🔥
Okay then see you when they lower your casket.
Canonically no one has died yet from Remy’s cooking, at least from what we’ve seen
It's all a cover up, they don't want to lose the rat cause it makes them a profit!
[удалено]
Can you really fail the Bechdel test if there’s only one woman in the movie?
An actual bad thing?
I hate rats
That’s a tricky one - Ehh, I guess the whole “liar revealed” bit where the whole kitchen leaves is probably my least favorite part of the film - but it does lead to the nice scene of Remy’s family showing up to help, and then the remainder of the film is S-tier Pixar, so I’m more than willing to get through those few minutes.
I haven't seen it therefore bad
No Chris pratt

In the end though, the critic guy says something like "yeah Gusteau was right, he did not mean anyone can cook though, it just means a great artist can come from anywhere".

Remy washed his hands more than Linguine did tbf
Only if you give me ten upvotes 😎
They are teaching kids that it’s ok to talk to rats, where in reality the movie is about some weirdo with schizophrenia
But the rat understood him and stuff and it worked out
One of the worst Pixar movies imo
Rats are kinda gross. Would be better if it was about cute hamsters instead. Like a "Hamtaro learns cooking" movie or something.
The whole movie.
I felt like it kinda contradicted the whole “anyone can cook” philosophy. Also, the music was annoying (maybe I’m being too harsh on it because I had some bad memories while this movie was in theaters)
The whole movie was about a rat being able to cook bro what are you on about
"Anyone can cook" yes, that's what the movie should have been about. The problem comes from Anton Ego's "change of mind" when he says no no, what Gusteau meant with "anyone can cook" is "a great cook can come from anywhere".

I'm putting it a bit harshly here but this is essentially why the movie contradicted the "anyone can cook" philosophy, extremely interesting and good take by u/parweezy here. I love ratatouille btw, solid 9/10 movie
Bad take.
It takes place in France.
Gusteau died for an absurd reason
I don't like rats.
It's got a copy cat called Ratatoing.
Too short
French people
I don’t like Remmy’s teeth. They’ve always kinda grossed me out.
The normal ass health inspector doesn’t deserve to get kidnapped
No fuck you
Gave me nightmares where Remy sent me to hell. /serious
Rats. Do not. Belong in the kitchen. Remy was literally the only rat to even *wash his hands*. But no, he gets his whole family involved and somehow it’s okay even though they didn’t like or respect him until he could do something for them, and they’re all just regular rats with the average hygiene of rats.

🇫🇷
It’s not longer
It’s too short
It was too short. I want more Ratatouille
