Everything GREAT About Ratatouille!

Ratatouille! A movie about rats and cooking and if you ask me, Dracula. Here's everything right with Ratatouille!

another easy to miss detail: one of Ego's lines is "if I don't like it, I don't swallow" and throughout the movie, he's shown as almost uncomfortably underweight, but at the very end when you see him in Remy's restaurant, he's noticeably heavier because he's actually *eating* that food

This film gets the "I never knew my Grandmother had a shotgun" award.

This is one of those movies that doesn't even need a sequel

It ended with quite a twist. Instead of Remy becoming a chef at Gusteau's, he becomes head chef in his own restaurant under secrecy, still being able to live his dream. Ego finally gets to taste real quality food he's long forgotten about, Linguini finally got himself a job he's good at, Collette gets treated with the respect she deserves, and the rats don't have to go hungry and be afraid of poison, now that's an ending

*Fun Trivia:*
-Showing devotion to art, one of the animators actually jumped in a pool while wearing a chef's outfit, so they could animate it properly.

-To make sure things were as accurate as possible, Pixar brought in Thomas Keller, the greatest chef in America and one of the greatest in the world, to help with the film. The producer interned at his restaurant, The French Laundry, and asked Keller how he would prepare ratatouille if the biggest food critic in the world were to visit his restaurant. Keller invented the version seen in the film, his own version of a variant known as "confit byaldi."

-Colette mentions having had to work extra hard to reach her position because she's a woman. This is a sad fact of the industry, particularly in France. Yet as soon as Ego sees her, he assumes she's the one who prepared the dish... because the greatest chef he ever knew was his mother.

I know you might not want to know this but here we go, rats do not have a gag reflex therefore linguine soup was so bad it broke the laws of nature

[Pineapply_Queen]

You missed a win: Despite Colette voicing how much misogyny she had to fight to get where she is, Ego doesn't think twice about her being the Chef (he's wrong of course, but his reaction at the idea is one of delight rather than incredulity).

And this makes perfect sense, since the best cook he ever knew was a woman: his mother.

Congratulations, I wish you and your wife the best!

My favorite part as someone who had worked in the business. Was when Collette was going over the background of all the kitchen crew. It's the most accurate thing about the movie. Most high end restaurants have a motley crew of ex criminals, drug addicts and weirdos in the back who normally can't function in society but within the structure of a kitchen, work in sync to craft the perfect dining experience.

Just like UP, this is one of those movies that doesn't need a sequel. It's perfect all by itself. Not good for studio business who like to 'milk' a franchise dry these days.

“Where will you go Remy!?”
“With any luck, forward.”
Words that hit harder the older I get.

"The average piece of junk being more meaningful than the criticism designating it so" seems like a close sentiment to the CinemaWins ethos, which I absolutely love

[NormieNerddom]

I also love how Ego in the end is less emaciated and more fattened. "If I don't like it, I don't swallow." He likes everything Remy makes and never liked anything from any other restaurant before, hence his near-statved physique. It's a perfect echo of his entire outlook on life. Once you criticize everything, there's no enjoyment anymore but now that his entire worldview has been shattered by Remy's reveal, suddenly he's far happier and more fulfilled. Instead of critiquing everything in life he now enjoys everything in it.

Another win: Remys movements, when he is on all four, is so much like a rat. Same with his ears twitching, nose moving, his fast breathe and his tail. I only noticed this after owning rats myself, he just straight up has characteristics like some of my boys.
So many movies with animals as a main character don't take into account how these animals move so it was actually so amazing to see a movie focusing on little behaviours that real rats do

When the pregnancy announcement is so smooth that most people miss it.

[Riv_Falcon]

i feel like there’s a win missed in the learning-to-cook-properly montage:
Collette introducing other staffs’ various not-so-glimmering back stories is like a foreshadowing of “A great artist could be from anywhere”

[areomorales]

As someone who’s experienced the flashback of a dish from childhood, noticing that Ego’s face gets color back in it is a wonderful detail!! The warmth comes from your chest and quickly makes its way to your cheeks and your ears grow warm, it’s a wonderful feeling :)

[belafeldbusch]

So no one is gonna talk about how he casually mentioned that his son is getting a little sibling? Those are such wonderfull news and i am so happy for you, also this is one of my fav animated movies, one of the reasons why i got into that field of work in the first place

“Everything great about Ratatouille”

[akulsinator]

10:14 The inclusion of the "oH" that real Africans place at the end of phrases to emphasize something or express general distress is such an AMAZING touch here
