This was such an important movie for me as a creative person. "Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere" really inspired me to continue pursuring my dreams! Def my fave Pixar movie, so much heart and soul is in it.
I'm from nyc and I have a story to tell about them rats. Lemme set the scene: it was almost 3am, I was sitting on the subway platform, the only person there, I was eating a sandwich, and I see a rat on the tracks. I think nothing of it I see those all the time. But then, he climbs up on the platform. He's about 2 yards from me. He looks at me, looks at my sandwich. He starts to crawl towards me. I shake my head. He stops. I say "you want some?" He stares at me. In that moment of eye contact we share a moment of solidarity. Of friendship. I know he is saying yes please I would love a piece of sandwich. I tear off a piece and toss it to him. He grabs it with his little hands and eats it in like 2 bites. He starts to walk away, back down to the tracks, and he stops, turns around, and looks at me again. I can tell he is thanking me. I say "no problem buddy" and then he scurries off and runs down the tunnel and out of sight.
Lemme just say, the rats in NYC are something else. You start to recognize them; you hear them literally carrying out little rat conversations as you walk down the street. I swear I’ve seen them wait until the light is green to cross the street before. As much as I love this movie, in reality, rats are a public menace and you want to see as little of them as possible, believe me 😂😂😂
@@micahsnow346 Seeing as how rats are super smart and domesticated ones have been found to be just as trainable as dogs (and thats despite their rampant inbreeding in the US) And my neighborhood as a local fox that will wait till all cars are past to cross the street in one specific place, he won't cross if you stop for him only if you drive past
the condition you're talking about when remy is eating food is called Synesthesia. It's actually the inspiration behind a lot of the abstract art going on whenever Remy is eating!! I've met a few people with synesthesia as well as read a lot of research books on the topic it's such an interesting brain phenomena.
You've met more than a few people with it, I bet. It's pretty common. Most people who have it just don't randomly mention it, so you wouldn't know unless you asked.
@@itzakpoelzig330 It's really not that common lol. Hell, I'd never even heard of it until a few years ago, and the only person I've heard of having it is Billie Eilish.
@@killinglonliness88 you can look up statistics. It's fairly common, just nobody mentions it because they think it's normal and not Neuro diverse. Fun fact but having any kind of ASMR response is also considered a form of synesthesia.
I recommend Bitter in the Mouth by Monique Truong for fiction about synesthesia, I read it really young and it was fascinating, it also touches on race and gender themes, female friendships and queerness.
fun fact: Rats don't have a gag reflex so Linguini's soup was literally so bad that it broke the laws of biology. also, would love to see your reactions to Arcane! it's a really great show and you can love it even without knowing anything about league! (as proof by comment sections I've seen, and my own sister and a few of my friends I've shown it to)
About the " peasant dish " thing, it's because ratatouille isn't a gastronomic dish so normally it's not the typical dish you can eat in a restaurant like Gusteau's. About Ego's flash-back, in France we called that " a Proust madeleine " in reference of the french writer Marcel Proust who said the madeleines odor is one oh his childhood memories. The exact definition is something who reminds us our childhood.
I really loved the movie growing up. But I always felt sad for the chefs who left Linguine after finding out the truth, cause during the movie all of them really got along with each other and for them to just leave and not join the gang in the new restaurant is really sad. I know they had a realistic reaction to LITERAL cooking rat, an animal, to which most people would consider both impossible and insane. I just wish we got to find out what happened to them at the end.
I didn't even notice they don't come back. Growing up, I kinda just assumed they started working at Remy's restaurant but they aren't there. That's actually really sad
One thing I’ve always wondered is why doesn’t remmy write things out. He clearly knows how to read and he understands humans. He could write something like “Hi. My name is remmy. Nice to meet you”
I think the reason Remy wanted the credit at that point was because before, when Linguine was going to tell Collette, it was going to be bad for both of them. But, after Linguine got with Collette, Remy was kind of ignored by him and also then he fell off the bike and a bunch of people screamed and called him disgusting. So before, he was just being a friend and helping out and thought he was gonna help make a difference. But, after the whole altercation with the humans, he felt like the change he wanted wasn't going to happen and that's why he wanted the credit then, so that the change he wanted could happen and he could be the one cooking and following his dream.
14:07 regarding cooking being a traditionally feminine hobby/responsibility, but the professional side of the industry is overtaken by men, that goes for SO MANY things! Like women are supposed to be into fashion, but who are the top designers? Men. Women do hair and makeup and men don’t care about their appearances, right? But the notable makeup artists and hair stylists? Men. Shit is wild. It’s like we can do these things as hobbies and for ourselves, but can’t be “one of the greats”
Some times ratatouille is made less fancy, you can see it in the flashback where it's just a normal looking stew. I'm guessing Remi made it fancy looking because it's a fancy restaurant. The fancy way doesn't look like a stew but the other way does.
I've never actually seen this movie, but my sister loved it back in the day, to the point that when she got her two pet rats, who were brothers from the same litter, she named them Remy and Emile.
Ratatouille came out when I was about four, so it's one of the first movies I actually remember *processing* the story of. And I was always set on being an artist. I was always a bookworm. And on top of that, I'm also an autistic who's sensory issues mainly screw with how I process food, rather than sounds or lights. So I really WAS the Remy of my family: much more selective and always creating even when I shouldn't have been! And my family didn't like me much for it. And other people were even worse; the same way they don't want rats in the kitchen, my schools didn't want a disabled kid like me around the "normal" people, let alone getting the same good education or opportunities. Even though I was just as worthy and capable in my case, and wanted it more than anyone. I saw a lotta myself in the film back then and that never changed, either. I did animation in high school, the best visual arts high school in my state, and I'm a whole cartoonist now working on starting my first comic. So... gotta say, it's my favorite Pixar film to this day as well! One of the most realistic-to-life ones as well!
OMG! I'm also on the Autistic spectrum and Ratatouille had a huge impact on my life. I used to want to be a chef, which is no longer my dream but I still love to cook. My family also likes it when I cook for them. Out of curiosity, where can I find your webcomic? I also want to write my own slice-of-life strip!
That point about men overtaking "feminine" industries- same thing with teaching and nursing! People who deny the wage gap say that men follow the money when it comes to finding a job, but the reality is that money follows men smh
Well atleast women in this time period can get almost every opportunity they can pursue their careers as doctors, bosses , critics or politicians but the problem that still exists in my instinct is the treatment such as pay gaps or discrimination which sadly still exists (not necessarily because of their gender sometimes but being a mother as I heard in a documentary ) though they are already laws for rights of women (and some other countries have beaten the stereotypes) , its still not enough to say we eradicated it there still lots more to change it!
@@SophiaPhannn don’t forget that men took over fashion industry wayback before which designs are for women (no degradation for men out ther who want to pursue fashionbut yk) especially famous brands like Gucci , Louis Vuitton or Dior (not that they are bad people and they have talents but yk ) were founded by them and the female founder I only know so far of a fashion brand was Chanel who is french and thanks to her she gave so many great designs to make women wear and feel clothes instead of costumes that men back in those days design or something. This has nothing to do with misandry or something but an observation of it went (and until now but again women can be ceos or leaders in this time of age )
you are still overlooking the fact that most of the dangerous works out there are still done by men, and that most low wage jobs are also done by men, i would love to see women cry for a 50 50 in works such as picking trash and cleaning sewers, ohh but no, they only want cushy goverment jobs or high paying office jobs, you are looking at the 1% of men and generalizing, ur average joe aint bill gates, grow up, anyway, i like the ¨money follows men¨ sounds like men are based af
14:03 As much of a point she does have, I also feel that Collette was unfoundedly hostile towards Linguini. He was about to compliment her, and she jumps the gun, assuming he's going to be as sexist as most others she's likely met. At first at least. 29:26 I guess this is the "Teela mentality." Only caring that they were lied to. Not giving any thought to anything else. The restaurant, it's legacy, Anton, their jobs, nothing.
I've made both Ratatouille Confie Byaldi like the one in the movie. Which is a lot of prep but it is really good! And recently I made the Traditional Stew style and while also just as much prep feels so much more comforting. Also yes Ratatouille has its origins as a peasant dish. Probably cuz it was much easier and cheaper to buy just vegetables for a meal than to also have meat added. But I don't really know 😅
Also some or all of the vegetables used are easy to grow yourself, so this is pretty much the cheapest meal people could make, especially in a rural area and if they didn't have any chickens or livestock they could cook. Some needed their animals alive for eggs, milk, or farm work and couldn't always afford to eat meat.
When the critic asked to see the chef after one spoonfull of soup because it was so good, is like when you taste a really good Tom yum. Even the first spoonfull is unforgettable.
You're stunning yet again. Nice to see you reviewing the film that ALMOST was released without Disney's involvement. THIS is what made the Disney/Pixar union stronger before the weakening of said union. The weakening is Disney keeping Pixar films, NOT attached to an already established franchise, from being shown in theaters or doing same day theatrical and streaming release.
I recommend Ever After: A Cinderella Story. It's so good and has its own story other than having just the generic cinderella plot line. 10/10 in my opinion.
I love Cinderella, especially the live action 2015 one, there is something so magical about it, people say it isn't empowering, but honestly, a girl breaking away from her abusive family is pretty empowering..... I'm saying this as a feminist before anyone comes after me.
6:27 I mean "draw me like one of your French girls" am I right. French kissing. "Fine" dining. French stereotypes checklist. Me personally I don't think any cuisine can be the best cuisine. It depends on the chef, depends on the dish, depends on individuals taste. I can't survive without Asian cuisine(if Thanos snapped Asian dishes away I would literally just cease to breathe) , however my favourite dish ever is Lasagna.
My mom loves this movie actually, I even saw a Easter egg from the roller skate scene where if you look at the mine carefully you’ll find out it’s bomb voyage from the incredibles.
If I had to choose I think that I would choose The incredibles to be the perfect Pixar movie and just as a movie all together ( could you review it in the future please ? )
19:36 BOOM, right there, the reason this film is my favorite of Pixar's. "I want to make things." And yes yes, I know, and you're right, to a degree, it does come across as a little whiney and derivative, the whole "I want to follow my dreams and change the world" schtick is a tried and true Disney formula. It's practically a part of Disney's DNA at this point in their business plan. But I saw it a little differently. Listen to what he says take it at face value: "I want to make things." He doesn't, in fact, want to change the world or become a hero or even strike a blow for the rights of rats or anything else so dramatic. He very clearly states that he wants to create things that weren't there before, regardless of what it does to him or his family. Remy is a shockingly selfish character...and maybe that's not a bad thing. Think about his actions: trying to steal saffron and getting himself found-out in the process, which leads to his family being expelled from their hiding place and his separation from them in the sewer system? HIS fault. Fixing the soup that Linguini screwed up, only to to be caught and almost killed for his actions? HIS choice. Being given the chance to run when Linguini lets him out of the jar and yet still returning, since it's really the only chance he has of getting back into the kitchen and doing what he wants to do? HIS risk. He doesn't even really look for the family he uprooted from the farmhouse and sent into the sewer; the first 30 minutes of the film are devoted to his exploits with his new man-puppet in the restaurant. It's only after he finds them that he realizes his next move is NOT to return to the relative safety/predictability of his family. He has a conversation with his father, who tries to convince him that humans will never see him as anything other than a pest. "You can't change nature." To which Remy says "Change IS nature...and it starts when we decide." He has made a decision on what he wants and it really doesn't gel with what his family wants or how the modern human world sees him. He's effectively on his own. And you noticed a significant change to his character again at 25:31...suddenly, after making the restaurant famous again and getting Linguini a date with Collette and helping him establish his right of ownership to the restaurant, Remy is excited by the idea of a little recognition for his work. It would put everything he's done so far into jeopardy...but maybe that risk is worth it at this point. As you said, Remy is what in rat years? 30? 45? If he is at best a year old when he meets Linguini, that mean's he's got 1, maybe 2 more years, max, to make an impact in the field he loves most. He probably isn't thinking in those terms, but he wants it enough to risk exposure and, let's be frank, EXECUTION if he is discovered. His judgment is hampered throughout the rest of the film as well, all to achieve his goal...letting his clan into the kitchen, almost getting caught by Skinner and then running away from his family after they rescue him, just to almost get killed by the kitchen staff AGAIN? He is single minded, to the point where the restaurant is SHUT DOWN because he had to make a point to Ego and everyone else. ...and I'm not sure that's a bad thing. Remy said it himself: "Change IS Nature...and it starts when we decide." STARTS. Remy isn't a freedom fighter or a civil rights advocate or a folk hero...he just wants to make things. He wants to create, like any artist. Sometimes that means breaking rules, being selfish and putting yourself first, even if it could destroy everything you already have...like Remy does throughout the film. As someone who likes to cook and build and generally do things with his hands as much as possible, I get it. Most times, we are aware that our creations, our 'art' --to be so blatantly pedantic--is probably not going to make us famous, change the world or drastically improve our lives...and that's ok. It doesn't necessarily NEED to. The guy down the street in his hole-in-the-wall little restaurant who makes my Italian beef sandwich, does he think himself a great artist? I don't know, but the sandwich is awesome and I hope he continues to make them...the impact is there, even if it's small. The fact that we are doing what we love and do it to the best of our ability is, more often than not, the best we can hope for, if only because we are realistic about our situation. Even Remy makes a concession or two when the new restaurant opens...I can guarantee that while he is the brains behind the menu and the kitchen operation, Linguini, Collette and Ego are the face and organizers of that new place. If the inspector comes, I don't know how they are going to explain away all the tiny little gangways and ladders in the kitchen, but they'll think of something. Remy has to be ok with the idea that the fame and adulation for his art is, at best, peripheral, and that his greatest achievement is, probably, some lasting safety/security for his family and business partners. It's a START...a good start, but the world has not changed it's mind about rats in general. There is at least one rat doing what he loves, and for now, that is enough. Perhaps one day a leopard will start painting at the zoo and it will be discovered as a piece of new-age art, or a moose will be found in the Klondike with a voice like Eric Clapton, if someone will listen to him long enough to hear. After all he has gone through, at least Remy is making things, good things, things he can be proud of...we should all be so lucky and feel so accomplished in the things we do every day. Great review, great film choice. Also the big rat, his name is Git, the one who seems to be flexing all the time? He as a test sample tag in his ear, which seems to indicate he was part of a batch of rats that had been experimented on in a lab. I like to think he escaped and the clan adopted him as like a surrogate Luca Brasi, so that the "family" has a degree of protection. I dunno, that's my head cannon. What's next? Take care! 😁
I have to slightly disagree with you on one point. Remy didn't look for his family because he thought they were all dead. If you were paying attention when they escaped through the sewers, you wouldve heard the colony screaming as they went down the pipe. He didn't just do it because it was selfish. He also did it as an act of survival/necessity. It's a metaphor for how a lot of people feel about their art. It's when he has an opportunity to give it all up that he realizes not only how much he's changed, but that he doesn't want to STOP changing. You see it happen all the time: an artist is about to make it big, but suddenly, they're called away for a family emergency. For so many, this would be enough to get them to give it all up, as a "family is more important" moment. But not in Remys case. Is he happy is family is alive? Of course. But even if he hadn't lost them, however temporarily, he was already starting to feel like he was worth more than what the colony allowed him to be. And now that he’s had a taste of getting to show people what he's worth, he can't go back to how things were before. The fact is you can't truly understand what you're capable of until you move away from home, because to stay at home is to stay the person you're fighting not to be. Home is a comfort zone, no matter how messed up it actually was. On some level you accepted it because it seemed normal to you, therefore it became a bizarre form of comfort. And nothing grows in comfort.
Omg! when i saw this as a kid i also thought ratatouille was just nothing but stacked pepperoni. and i loved this movie so much that whenever i had pizza i would try to take the pepperoni and try to make it look like how it does in the movie. lol of course, i couldnt. either it didn't come out right or there wasn't enough to make it.... good times!
UP IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE PIXAR MOVIE BUT RATATOUILLE HOLDS A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART (because my French teacher during all of middle school would have us watch this film during the end of the school year on movie day!) AND IS DEFINITELY IN MY TOP THREE ALONG WITH MONSTERS INC!
This is my favorite Pixar movie and it’s a masterpiece imo, the voice acting, plot, pacing etc are great and then you have the beautiful song le festin that plays, Anton egos revelation and monologue at the end which peter o toole nails
6:50 Remy means he was under Paris when he was sitting in the sewers with the book waiting for the clan. The house at the beginning was definitely in the countryside, but the sewers led him to the city.
Love this movie. It inspired me to cook growing up. Learned all my mom's Mexican dishes and cook for her now whenever we visit each other. Also it's GIF not JIF.
Ratatouille has been my favourite Pixar movie for at least a decade now. I could never explain why, and I still can't. It just holds a special place in my heart.
This is my childhood😩 and I swear every time I watch this movie it makes me feel like a chef a Paris and that I can cook but I know damn well I’m fooling myself bc I can’t cook for shit😭😭😭
i watched this vid where a chef told ppl the insides of having a restaurant and he said that is actually very hard to get five stars like you have to practically live in your restaurant to have a 5 so i guess losing a star is a pretty big deal for them jsjs
I loved the opening! It's hilarious, showing an elderly woman grabbing a double barrel shotgun. I guess if an exterminator is expensive, when in doubt, grab a shotgun and deal with the problem yourself. Lol!
@@SophiaPhannn that's true!! i think there is also more artistic freedom for scenes depicting romantic intimacy in general. some of my favorite first kisses came from kdramas in the last few years
People forget that Linguini is his LAST name. His first name is Alfredo! His full name sounds even sillier then: Alfredo Linguini. His full name was said when he first shows up on screen. "Alfredo Linguini, Renata's little boy!"
I watched this movie so many times when I was little that I have the dialogue momorized but like, in Spansh, cuz that's how I watched it orignally. It's kind of scary how clear I can hear the voices even in a different language with different actors
It would've been a nice touch to see call outs in the kitchen. 'I need three all day!!' 'or 'CORNER!!' and 'BEHIND!!' or my personal favorite 'COMIN OUT, HOT HOT HOT!!' 😂 It'd be a DREAM to work in such a huge kitchen (esp. for such a space with like...less than 20 tables.) Also, appreciated how the 'imaginary chef' stated that the dishwashers are VITAL. How are you gonna serve food to customers without plates? I've worked in restaurants where the dishwasher got disrespected by the bosses and quit on the spot. Ground that lunch rush to a HALT. They're some of the nicest most hard working people you'll ever meet.
So fun fact Linguini voice actor is a storyboard artist who worked in Ratatouille, he also worked in The Incredibles and the Powerpuff Girls, he's name is Lou Romano.
I only had a fireworks eating moment a couple of times. When I had my grandmother’s couscous for the first time in a while, the first time I had pizza as a kid and when I had broccoli soup with fresh, warm bread in the Château Versailles. Because gorgeous, gorgeous girls love having soup in pretty palaces ✨
As a former cook of a 4 stars hotel in Bangkok, and an apprentice of a professional chef. As I am a man here. I strongly agree about your opinion about professional chefs being mostly a man and not many women, let's speak profession here then. I think it's very accurate that many professionals are men more than women for some reason, this goes for all kinds of professions as well. I also like many messages that this movie gives to us viewers as well, especially that last one about being a chef, it's true that not everyone can cook or become a professional, but a professional can come from anyone, from anywhere. It truly is what inspired me and my friends to take a culinary class and through hard work, some of us become a professional chef, but some others like me who weren't able to take the pressure, choose to take another path. But even on that path, we did enjoy our experience as an apprentice for a great chef. Speaking of rats and rodents in the kitchen, it's truly like that, it's a red alert when we found one. Even the tiniest cockroach is a no-no.
Low key this video is Sophia dropping places she's been. "I've been to France" "This one time I was in New York City" Not even a third through and I reckon there will be more city drops. 😎
It is a simple message, but that's what makes it great. I really want a wooden sign just like the one at the end of the movie in my kitchen someday, but with "Anyone can cook" on it.
My cousin once STEPPED on a dead rat in a mall parking lot. I wasn’t there but I heard how high she jumped. That is not something one recovers from quickly! 😰
The voice actor for Lingunini is Lou Romano, a now ex-Pixar employee (he's currently at Laika Studios) so he is an american. It's not uncommon that Pixar employees or directors making voices for their movies as their scratch voices (which are meant as temporary placeholders until they're replaced by actual voice actors) becomes so good that no actor can't match them. Storyboard artist/story man Joe Ranft (passed away in 2005 during production of Cars, in a car accident) did many voices including Lenny in Toy Story 1, Heimich in A Bug's Life, Wheezy in Toy Story 2, Pete "Claws" Ward in Monsters, Inc., Jaques in Finding Nemo and Red and Peterbilt in Cars, as well as playing a clown and Elmo St. Peters in Brave Little Toaster and Igor in The Nightmare Before Christmas. Director Brad Bird voiced Ambrister in this movie, as well as Edna Mode in The Incredibles and Incredibles 2. Andrew Stanton, the director of Finding Nemo and Dory, voices Crush in both and the talkative clam in Finding Dory. Co-director Bob Peterson voiced Roz in Monsters, Inc., Monsters University and Monsters At Work (not done by Pixar but several Pixar people were consulants on the series), Dug in Up, Dug's Special Mission, Dug Days and Carl's Date and Alpha in all except Dug Days and Mr. Ray in Finding Nemo and Dory. Animator (and director of The Good Dinosaur and Elemental) Pete Sohn voices Emile in this movie as well as the Mugger in The Incredibles, Squishy in Monsters University, Forrest Woodbush in The Good Dinosaur, Ciccio in Luca and Sox in Lightyear (seemingly becoming the new John Ratzenberger though unlike him, he hasn't made a voice in every movie since Luca). The list can be made long, so I'll stop here.
Both of my parents were executive chefs growing up, AND I had a pet rat at the same time this movie came out. Needless to say this hit home for me. I vividly remember sitting on the family couch with my albino rat on my shoulder watching this movie I've and over again, and *you KNOW* she was sitting patiently watching it with me ❤️
Cook, singer, gemologist, or interior designer. Those were my ideals on my future as I grew up. I was actually gonna start college for Interior Design but I began having seizures before I could step foot into that college. It’s illegal for me to drive because of my epilepsy so getting even a job is almost impossible. I mean seriously, what company is gonna hire someone that could easily suddenly collapse and get terribly hurt or even die if they fell wrong? In front of costumers no less. Before y’all say it I know it’s illegal for an employer to refuse me because of my disability. They could just use the fact that there are a lot more people that fit the job other than me. But because of my disability I have been able to practice my photography. It’s helped.
9:26 "I wonder what kind of soup that was ?" It's called *Potato Leek Soup* , if you want to make one there's a recipe on the internet (including on UA-cam)
19:06 idk if anyone mentioned it ( I learned this from a French commenter on another ratatouille reaction vid) but apparently ratatouille is in fact a stew that's why its a "peasant dish" because its not something you see at fancy restaurants ( the one that ego's mom cooks) and what they actually cook here in the movie is called "un tian de legumes" which is different but I suppose similar in taste maybe? to ratatouille
As someone who went to art school and got to meet the director and composer, Brad Bird and Michael Giacchino, I must say this is the most perfect film. It is my dream to work for PIXAR one day hopefully very, very soon...
When I took my grade-school nieces to see this, the elder of the two, Marina, was so inspired by it that she expressed a strong desire to cook something... I would've loved to oblige her, but in those days, my brother and sister-in-law's kitchen was really a mess. ( They both worked, I was watching the girls )
Fun theory people have is that the college were Remy used to live was the same cottage ego grew up in so Remy's cooking reminds him of his mother because he pretty much learned to cook from seeing her
Nothing says valentines weekend than a rat achieving his dreams 🐀✨🥰
*So romantic~~*
AMEN!
That's lovely. ❤️
Will you be my valentine?
Yes
This was such an important movie for me as a creative person. "Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere" really inspired me to continue pursuring my dreams! Def my fave Pixar movie, so much heart and soul is in it.
Me too!
You go girl!!!!!!
All of Colette's kitchen tips are real advice for working in a high end kitchen. Say what you want about Disney, but Pixar does their homework.
I'm from nyc and I have a story to tell about them rats. Lemme set the scene: it was almost 3am, I was sitting on the subway platform, the only person there, I was eating a sandwich, and I see a rat on the tracks. I think nothing of it I see those all the time. But then, he climbs up on the platform. He's about 2 yards from me. He looks at me, looks at my sandwich. He starts to crawl towards me. I shake my head. He stops. I say "you want some?" He stares at me. In that moment of eye contact we share a moment of solidarity. Of friendship. I know he is saying yes please I would love a piece of sandwich. I tear off a piece and toss it to him. He grabs it with his little hands and eats it in like 2 bites. He starts to walk away, back down to the tracks, and he stops, turns around, and looks at me again. I can tell he is thanking me. I say "no problem buddy" and then he scurries off and runs down the tunnel and out of sight.
That was beautiful 🤧
Lemme just say, the rats in NYC are something else. You start to recognize them; you hear them literally carrying out little rat conversations as you walk down the street. I swear I’ve seen them wait until the light is green to cross the street before.

That's such a main character moment😂
@@micahsnow346 sad thing is, it's New York itself that's dirty, not the rats.

I've met a few people with synesthesia as well as read a lot of research books on the topic it's such an interesting brain phenomena.

@@itzakpoelzig330 It's really not that common lol. Hell, I'd never even heard of it until a few years ago, and the only person I've heard of having it is Billie Eilish.

@@killinglonliness88 you can look up statistics. It's fairly common, just nobody mentions it because they think it's normal and not Neuro diverse.
Fun fact but having any kind of ASMR response is also considered a form of synesthesia.
I recommend Bitter in the Mouth by Monique Truong for fiction about synesthesia, I read it really young and it was fascinating, it also touches on race and gender themes, female friendships and queerness.
fun fact: Rats don't have a gag reflex
so Linguini's soup was literally so bad that it broke the laws of biology.
also, would love to see your reactions to Arcane! it's a really great show and you can love it even without knowing anything about league! (as proof by comment sections I've seen, and my own sister and a few of my friends I've shown it to)
This whole movie breaks laws of biology
I was about to comment this lmao
Imagine being such a bad cook that you rewire a rat's brain to almost throw up at the smell of what you made.

shhhh. I'm saying something for hte sake of a meme. (even though the whole...rats not being able to gag is an actual thing)
@@bbittercoffee
ikr? I first found out this fact watching Shafarillias' review
@@0MidnighttheDragon0 that's the place I learned it from too lol
About the " peasant dish " thing, it's because ratatouille isn't a gastronomic dish so normally it's not the typical dish you can eat in a restaurant like Gusteau's.
About Ego's flash-back, in France we called that " a Proust madeleine " in reference of the french writer Marcel Proust who said the madeleines odor is one oh his childhood memories. The exact definition is something who reminds us our childhood.
I really loved the movie growing up. But I always felt sad for the chefs who left Linguine after finding out the truth, cause during the movie all of them really got along with each other and for them to just leave and not join the gang in the new restaurant is really sad. I know they had a realistic reaction to LITERAL cooking rat, an animal, to which most people would consider both impossible and insane. I just wish we got to find out what happened to them at the end.
I didn't even notice they don't come back. Growing up, I kinda just assumed they started working at Remy's restaurant but they aren't there. That's actually really sad
Maybe Pixar should make a short about them
Linguini's first name is Alfredo, which is why it's hilarious that his name is Alfredo Linguini
I've never realized that!
I like how they didn’t make the dad like a villain he genuinely cares for his sons and is looking out for their well being it’s just all he knows
Horst is the best character in this film. “I killed a man. With THIS thumb”
"Imagine seeing a rat drop from the ceiling"
Me who's had a rat drop from the ceiling above me: *nervous sweating*
Omg 💀💀💀 I would pass away
One thing I’ve always wondered is why doesn’t remmy write things out. He clearly knows how to read and he understands humans. He could write something like “Hi. My name is remmy. Nice to meet you”
Remy is a rat with no opposable thumbs.
@@videohistory722 The dude can grab huge spoons, I don't think a pencil is too hard
Guess Remmy doesn't know how to write. Cause I think he's more focused on learning to cook than how to write.
I think the reason Remy wanted the credit at that point was because before, when Linguine was going to tell Collette, it was going to be bad for both of them. But, after Linguine got with Collette, Remy was kind of ignored by him and also then he fell off the bike and a bunch of people screamed and called him disgusting. So before, he was just being a friend and helping out and thought he was gonna help make a difference. But, after the whole altercation with the humans, he felt like the change he wanted wasn't going to happen and that's why he wanted the credit then, so that the change he wanted could happen and he could be the one cooking and following his dream.
14:07 regarding cooking being a traditionally feminine hobby/responsibility, but the professional side of the industry is overtaken by men, that goes for SO MANY things! Like women are supposed to be into fashion, but who are the top designers? Men. Women do hair and makeup and men don’t care about their appearances, right? But the notable makeup artists and hair stylists? Men. Shit is wild. It’s like we can do these things as hobbies and for ourselves, but can’t be “one of the greats”
Some times ratatouille is made less fancy, you can see it in the flashback where it's just a normal looking stew. I'm guessing Remi made it fancy looking because it's a fancy restaurant. The fancy way doesn't look like a stew but the other way does.
Part of fine dining/cuisine is making a dish in a yourbown way. A surprising twist. Even pizza can have artistic interpretations.
I've never actually seen this movie, but my sister loved it back in the day, to the point that when she got her two pet rats, who were brothers from the same litter, she named them Remy and Emile.
Ratatouille came out when I was about four, so it's one of the first movies I actually remember *processing* the story of. And I was always set on being an artist. I was always a bookworm. And on top of that, I'm also an autistic who's sensory issues mainly screw with how I process food, rather than sounds or lights. So I really WAS the Remy of my family: much more selective and always creating even when I shouldn't have been! And my family didn't like me much for it. And other people were even worse; the same way they don't want rats in the kitchen, my schools didn't want a disabled kid like me around the "normal" people, let alone getting the same good education or opportunities. Even though I was just as worthy and capable in my case, and wanted it more than anyone.
I saw a lotta myself in the film back then and that never changed, either. I did animation in high school, the best visual arts high school in my state, and I'm a whole cartoonist now working on starting my first comic. So... gotta say, it's my favorite Pixar film to this day as well! One of the most realistic-to-life ones as well!
Love that for you!!
OMG! I'm also on the Autistic spectrum and Ratatouille had a huge impact on my life. I used to want to be a chef, which is no longer my dream but I still love to cook. My family also likes it when I cook for them. Out of curiosity, where can I find your webcomic? I also want to write my own slice-of-life strip!
I just watched this today because of how chill it is! It's such a great movie
Yeah, ratatouille is technically a stew. The version made in this movie is a confit byaldi, which you should totally make :))
Love the new tattoo!
fun fact: rats are incapable of actually gagging/vomiting. Linguini's stew was so bad that it literally broke the laws of nature.
That point about men overtaking "feminine" industries- same thing with teaching and nursing! People who deny the wage gap say that men follow the money when it comes to finding a job, but the reality is that money follows men smh
Idk how ppl can still deny the wage gap! It's still a "man's world" out here 🙃
Don't forget computer programming.
Well atleast women in this time period can get almost every opportunity they can pursue their careers as doctors, bosses , critics or politicians but the problem that still exists in my instinct is the treatment such as pay gaps or discrimination which sadly still exists (not necessarily because of their gender sometimes but being a mother as I heard in a documentary ) though they are already laws for rights of women (and some other countries have beaten the stereotypes) , its still not enough to say we eradicated it there still lots more to change it!
@@SophiaPhannn don’t forget that men took over fashion industry wayback before which designs are for women (no degradation for men out ther who want to pursue fashionbut yk) especially famous brands like Gucci , Louis Vuitton or Dior
(not that they are bad people and they have talents but yk ) were founded by them and the female founder I only know so far of a fashion brand was Chanel who is french and thanks to her she gave so many great designs to make women wear and feel clothes instead of costumes that men back in those days design or something.
This has nothing to do with misandry or something but an observation of it went (and until now but again women can be ceos or leaders in this time of age )
you are still overlooking the fact that most of the dangerous works out there are still done by men, and that most low wage jobs are also done by men, i would love to see women cry for a 50 50 in works such as picking trash and cleaning sewers, ohh but no, they only want cushy goverment jobs or high paying office jobs, you are looking at the 1% of men and generalizing, ur average joe aint bill gates, grow up, anyway, i like the ¨money follows men¨ sounds like men are based af
14:03 As much of a point she does have, I also feel that Collette was unfoundedly hostile towards Linguini. He was about to compliment her, and she jumps the gun, assuming he's going to be as sexist as most others she's likely met. At first at least. 29:26 I guess this is the "Teela mentality." Only caring that they were lied to. Not giving any thought to anything else. The restaurant, it's legacy, Anton, their jobs, nothing.
You've always been gorgeous but lately it seems like your personality is showing through your wardrobe. You look so confident! Get it girl!
Omg thank you 🙈
The guy asking what's new is Thomas Keller, the movies chef consultant! The ratatouille recipe they use at the end is a variation of HIS recipe!
i had no idea people drew remi as controlling linguini while he was... 😳 with colette.. 😭😭 i want to go back go not knowing
I've made both Ratatouille Confie Byaldi like the one in the movie. Which is a lot of prep but it is really good!
And recently I made the Traditional Stew style and while also just as much prep feels so much more comforting.
Also yes Ratatouille has its origins as a peasant dish. Probably cuz it was much easier and cheaper to buy just vegetables for a meal than to also have meat added. But I don't really know 😅
Also some or all of the vegetables used are easy to grow yourself, so this is pretty much the cheapest meal people could make, especially in a rural area and if they didn't have any chickens or livestock they could cook. Some needed their animals alive for eggs, milk, or farm work and couldn't always afford to eat meat.
9:25 Remy was actually cooking Vichyssoise, a potato and leek soup with cream. You can eat it when the soup is cold, too.
Ratatouille, The Incredibles and Wall-E are top tier pixar films
When the critic asked to see the chef after one spoonfull of soup because it was so good, is like when you taste a really good Tom yum. Even the first spoonfull is unforgettable.
You're stunning yet again. Nice to see you reviewing the film that ALMOST was released without Disney's involvement. THIS is what made the Disney/Pixar union stronger before the weakening of said union. The weakening is Disney keeping Pixar films, NOT attached to an already established franchise, from being shown in theaters or doing same day theatrical and streaming release.
I recommend Ever After: A Cinderella Story. It's so good and has its own story other than having just the generic cinderella plot line. 10/10 in my opinion.
Ever After is the best Cinderella adaptation!
OMG yes please make this the next video !
I love Cinderella, especially the live action 2015 one, there is something so magical about it, people say it isn't empowering, but honestly, a girl breaking away from her abusive family is pretty empowering..... I'm saying this as a feminist before anyone comes after me.
@@fulichak6499 I agree
My favorite movie, i really relate to Remy. It’s so expertly crafted, from the writing to the voice acting, everything is great.
Here's a fun fact: Disney & Pixar's Ratatouille has won the Best Animated Feature Film Awards 2008.
Adding to this: there's a bit in the credits bragging about the animation, as a response to Cars losing the Oscar the previous year to Happy Feet
Ego: _You've been playing without an opponent._
Remy: *makes Ratatouille* _You were never even a player._
6:27 I mean "draw me like one of your French girls" am I right. French kissing. "Fine" dining. French stereotypes checklist. Me personally I don't think any cuisine can be the best cuisine. It depends on the chef, depends on the dish, depends on individuals taste. I can't survive without Asian cuisine(if Thanos snapped Asian dishes away I would literally just cease to breathe) , however my favourite dish ever is Lasagna.
Fun fact when I went to France we actually found a store with dead rats displayed in front, no clue if they were real but it was nasty.
My mom loves this movie actually, I even saw a Easter egg from the roller skate scene where if you look at the mine carefully you’ll find out it’s bomb voyage from the incredibles.
The shop with dead rats at 20:23 is a real place in Paris! It’s called Aurouze and co. Creepy, lol!
22:31 nice little detail here: Ego checks the wine's vintage, then stops himself from spitting it out.
If I had to choose I think that I would choose The incredibles to be the perfect Pixar movie and just as a movie all together ( could you review it in the future please ? )
The incredibles is also a great movie!!
@@SophiaPhannn Brad Bird really just went and gave us two of the best Pixar films with The Incredibles and Ratatouille
When ego has his flashback of his mother I cry everytime. I can't help it.. just such a beautiful scene👍🏼
There has been chefs who had a mental breakdown, burned their restaurant down or even offed themselves because they lost a star
Isn’t it implied Gusteau died from a broken heart brought on after Ego’s review? Or was broken hearted and then died separately? I forget which?
19:36 BOOM, right there, the reason this film is my favorite of Pixar's. "I want to make things."
And yes yes, I know, and you're right, to a degree, it does come across as a little whiney and derivative, the whole "I want to follow my dreams and change the world" schtick is a tried and true Disney formula. It's practically a part of Disney's DNA at this point in their business plan.
But I saw it a little differently. Listen to what he says take it at face value: "I want to make things." He doesn't, in fact, want to change the world or become a hero or even strike a blow for the rights of rats or anything else so dramatic. He very clearly states that he wants to create things that weren't there before, regardless of what it does to him or his family. Remy is a shockingly selfish character...and maybe that's not a bad thing.
Think about his actions: trying to steal saffron and getting himself found-out in the process, which leads to his family being expelled from their hiding place and his separation from them in the sewer system? HIS fault. Fixing the soup that Linguini screwed up, only to to be caught and almost killed for his actions? HIS choice. Being given the chance to run when Linguini lets him out of the jar and yet still returning, since it's really the only chance he has of getting back into the kitchen and doing what he wants to do? HIS risk. He doesn't even really look for the family he uprooted from the farmhouse and sent into the sewer; the first 30 minutes of the film are devoted to his exploits with his new man-puppet in the restaurant. It's only after he finds them that he realizes his next move is NOT to return to the relative safety/predictability of his family. He has a conversation with his father, who tries to convince him that humans will never see him as anything other than a pest. "You can't change nature." To which Remy says "Change IS nature...and it starts when we decide." He has made a decision on what he wants and it really doesn't gel with what his family wants or how the modern human world sees him. He's effectively on his own.
And you noticed a significant change to his character again at 25:31...suddenly, after making the restaurant famous again and getting Linguini a date with Collette and helping him establish his right of ownership to the restaurant, Remy is excited by the idea of a little recognition for his work. It would put everything he's done so far into jeopardy...but maybe that risk is worth it at this point. As you said, Remy is what in rat years? 30? 45? If he is at best a year old when he meets Linguini, that mean's he's got 1, maybe 2 more years, max, to make an impact in the field he loves most. He probably isn't thinking in those terms, but he wants it enough to risk exposure and, let's be frank, EXECUTION if he is discovered. His judgment is hampered throughout the rest of the film as well, all to achieve his goal...letting his clan into the kitchen, almost getting caught by Skinner and then running away from his family after they rescue him, just to almost get killed by the kitchen staff AGAIN? He is single minded, to the point where the restaurant is SHUT DOWN because he had to make a point to Ego and everyone else.
...and I'm not sure that's a bad thing. Remy said it himself: "Change IS Nature...and it starts when we decide." STARTS.
Remy isn't a freedom fighter or a civil rights advocate or a folk hero...he just wants to make things. He wants to create, like any artist. Sometimes that means breaking rules, being selfish and putting yourself first, even if it could destroy everything you already have...like Remy does throughout the film.
As someone who likes to cook and build and generally do things with his hands as much as possible, I get it. Most times, we are aware that our creations, our 'art' --to be so blatantly pedantic--is probably not going to make us famous, change the world or drastically improve our lives...and that's ok. It doesn't necessarily NEED to. The guy down the street in his hole-in-the-wall little restaurant who makes my Italian beef sandwich, does he think himself a great artist? I don't know, but the sandwich is awesome and I hope he continues to make them...the impact is there, even if it's small.
The fact that we are doing what we love and do it to the best of our ability is, more often than not, the best we can hope for, if only because we are realistic about our situation. Even Remy makes a concession or two when the new restaurant opens...I can guarantee that while he is the brains behind the menu and the kitchen operation, Linguini, Collette and Ego are the face and organizers of that new place. If the inspector comes, I don't know how they are going to explain away all the tiny little gangways and ladders in the kitchen, but they'll think of something. Remy has to be ok with the idea that the fame and adulation for his art is, at best, peripheral, and that his greatest achievement is, probably, some lasting safety/security for his family and business partners. It's a START...a good start, but the world has not changed it's mind about rats in general. There is at least one rat doing what he loves, and for now, that is enough. Perhaps one day a leopard will start painting at the zoo and it will be discovered as a piece of new-age art, or a moose will be found in the Klondike with a voice like Eric Clapton, if someone will listen to him long enough to hear. After all he has gone through, at least Remy is making things, good things, things he can be proud of...we should all be so lucky and feel so accomplished in the things we do every day.
Great review, great film choice. Also the big rat, his name is Git, the one who seems to be flexing all the time? He as a test sample tag in his ear, which seems to indicate he was part of a batch of rats that had been experimented on in a lab. I like to think he escaped and the clan adopted him as like a surrogate Luca Brasi, so that the "family" has a degree of protection. I dunno, that's my head cannon. What's next? Take care! 😁
I have to slightly disagree with you on one point.
Remy didn't look for his family because he thought they were all dead. If you were paying attention when they escaped through the sewers, you wouldve heard the colony screaming as they went down the pipe.
He didn't just do it because it was selfish. He also did it as an act of survival/necessity. It's a metaphor for how a lot of people feel about their art. It's when he has an opportunity to give it all up that he realizes not only how much he's changed, but that he doesn't want to STOP changing.
You see it happen all the time: an artist is about to make it big, but suddenly, they're called away for a family emergency. For so many, this would be enough to get them to give it all up, as a "family is more important" moment.
But not in Remys case. Is he happy is family is alive? Of course. But even if he hadn't lost them, however temporarily, he was already starting to feel like he was worth more than what the colony allowed him to be. And now that he’s had a taste of getting to show people what he's worth, he can't go back to how things were before.
The fact is you can't truly understand what you're capable of until you move away from home, because to stay at home is to stay the person you're fighting not to be.
Home is a comfort zone, no matter how messed up it actually was. On some level you accepted it because it seemed normal to you, therefore it became a bizarre form of comfort. And nothing grows in comfort.
Omg! when i saw this as a kid i also thought ratatouille was just nothing but stacked pepperoni. and i loved this movie so much that whenever i had pizza i would try to take the pepperoni and try to make it look like how it does in the movie. lol of course, i couldnt. either it didn't come out right or there wasn't enough to make it.... good times!
UP IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE PIXAR MOVIE BUT RATATOUILLE HOLDS A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART (because my French teacher during all of middle school would have us watch this film during the end of the school year on movie day!) AND IS DEFINITELY IN MY TOP THREE ALONG WITH MONSTERS INC!
This is my favorite Pixar movie and it’s a masterpiece imo, the voice acting, plot, pacing etc are great and then you have the beautiful song le festin that plays, Anton egos revelation and monologue at the end which peter o toole nails
I watched this and "The Menu" back to back. It was a crazy experience!
Ratatouille holds a special place in my heart because it was the first Pixar movie I saw in theaters, I was 6 at the time
6:50 Remy means he was under Paris when he was sitting in the sewers with the book waiting for the clan. The house at the beginning was definitely in the countryside, but the sewers led him to the city.
The random comentary about lewd art caught me off guard, hahaha. Sophia what have you been browsing?
Twitter 😭
Love this movie. It inspired me to cook growing up. Learned all my mom's Mexican dishes and cook for her now whenever we visit each other. Also it's GIF not JIF.
You just have to pick a fight every video over JIF 😤
Ratatouille has been my favourite Pixar movie for at least a decade now. I could never explain why, and I still can't. It just holds a special place in my heart.
6:20 it was literally just a crumb too, it's not like he was gonna steal the half of bread 😂
Ratatouille is a childhood classic ahhh
This is my childhood😩 and I swear every time I watch this movie it makes me feel like a chef a Paris and that I can cook but I know damn well I’m fooling myself bc I can’t cook for shit😭😭😭
i watched this vid where a chef told ppl the insides of having a restaurant and he said that is actually very hard to get five stars like you have to practically live in your restaurant to have a 5 so i guess losing a star is a pretty big deal for them jsjs
I loved the opening! It's hilarious, showing an elderly woman grabbing a double barrel shotgun. I guess if an exterminator is expensive, when in doubt, grab a shotgun and deal with the problem yourself. Lol!
22:16 "really old korean dramas" LMAO! as an avid kdrama watcher i'm sad to say that a lot of kisses are still like this ;;
They've been getting better recently though!!! Although I gotta say, only certain actors know how to kiss though 😂
@@SophiaPhannn that's true!! i think there is also more artistic freedom for scenes depicting romantic intimacy in general. some of my favorite first kisses came from kdramas in the last few years
13:16 But you understood everything soo far even from Remi's part soo that comes too show how well written and animated the movie is ♡
People forget that Linguini is his LAST name. His first name is Alfredo! His full name sounds even sillier then: Alfredo Linguini. His full name was said when he first shows up on screen. "Alfredo Linguini, Renata's little boy!"
My father always says: “A dirty mind is a joy forever.”
Smart guy.
I watched this movie so many times when I was little that I have the dialogue momorized but like, in Spansh, cuz that's how I watched it orignally. It's kind of scary how clear I can hear the voices even in a different language with different actors
Electric stoves and induction tops are common in Europe bc the buildings are so old.
It would've been a nice touch to see call outs in the kitchen. 'I need three all day!!' 'or 'CORNER!!' and 'BEHIND!!' or my personal favorite 'COMIN OUT, HOT HOT HOT!!' 😂 It'd be a DREAM to work in such a huge kitchen (esp. for such a space with like...less than 20 tables.)
Also, appreciated how the 'imaginary chef' stated that the dishwashers are VITAL. How are you gonna serve food to customers without plates? I've worked in restaurants where the dishwasher got disrespected by the bosses and quit on the spot. Ground that lunch rush to a HALT. They're some of the nicest most hard working people you'll ever meet.
So fun fact Linguini voice actor is a storyboard artist who worked in Ratatouille, he also worked in The Incredibles and the Powerpuff Girls, he's name is Lou Romano.
the fact that i have never seen this movie yet but now i really want to T___T
Go watch it now!!!!

As a former cook of a 4 stars hotel in Bangkok, and an apprentice of a professional chef. As I am a man here.
I strongly agree about your opinion about professional chefs being mostly a man and not many women, let's speak profession here then.
I think it's very accurate that many professionals are men more than women for some reason, this goes for all kinds of professions as well.
I also like many messages that this movie gives to us viewers as well, especially that last one about being a chef, it's true that not everyone can cook or become a professional, but a professional can come from anyone, from anywhere. It truly is what inspired me and my friends to take a culinary class and through hard work, some of us become a professional chef, but some others like me who weren't able to take the pressure, choose to take another path. But even on that path, we did enjoy our experience as an apprentice for a great chef.
Speaking of rats and rodents in the kitchen, it's truly like that, it's a red alert when we found one. Even the tiniest cockroach is a no-no.
Low key this video is Sophia dropping places she's been.
"I've been to France"
"This one time I was in New York City"
Not even a third through and I reckon there will be more city drops. 😎

I didn't like this movie when it came out but I recently watched it on Disney + I love it so much more
It is a simple message, but that's what makes it great. I really want a wooden sign just like the one at the end of the movie in my kitchen someday, but with "Anyone can cook" on it.
Is nobody gonna talk about the fact that Skinner said “One can get ‘too familiar’ with vegetables, you know!”? Literally the BEST adult joke ever.
My cousin once STEPPED on a dead rat in a mall parking lot. I wasn’t there but I heard how high she jumped. That is not something one recovers from quickly! 😰

This movie actually made me love cooking. But it also made me a diva in the kitchen.

The voice actor for Lingunini is Lou Romano, a now ex-Pixar employee (he's currently at Laika Studios) so he is an american. It's not uncommon that Pixar employees or directors making voices for their movies as their scratch voices (which are meant as temporary placeholders until they're replaced by actual voice actors) becomes so good that no actor can't match them. Storyboard artist/story man Joe Ranft (passed away in 2005 during production of Cars, in a car accident) did many voices including Lenny in Toy Story 1, Heimich in A Bug's Life, Wheezy in Toy Story 2, Pete "Claws" Ward in Monsters, Inc., Jaques in Finding Nemo and Red and Peterbilt in Cars, as well as playing a clown and Elmo St. Peters in Brave Little Toaster and Igor in The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Director Brad Bird voiced Ambrister in this movie, as well as Edna Mode in The Incredibles and Incredibles 2. Andrew Stanton, the director of Finding Nemo and Dory, voices Crush in both and the talkative clam in Finding Dory. Co-director Bob Peterson voiced Roz in Monsters, Inc., Monsters University and Monsters At Work (not done by Pixar but several Pixar people were consulants on the series), Dug in Up, Dug's Special Mission, Dug Days and Carl's Date and Alpha in all except Dug Days and Mr. Ray in Finding Nemo and Dory. Animator (and director of The Good Dinosaur and Elemental) Pete Sohn voices Emile in this movie as well as the Mugger in The Incredibles, Squishy in Monsters University, Forrest Woodbush in The Good Dinosaur, Ciccio in Luca and Sox in Lightyear (seemingly becoming the new John Ratzenberger though unlike him, he hasn't made a voice in every movie since Luca). The list can be made long, so I'll stop here.
He died due to severe depression because he lost a star, also I doubt it'd be easy to get it back.
Both of my parents were executive chefs growing up, AND I had a pet rat at the same time this movie came out. Needless to say this hit home for me. I vividly remember sitting on the family couch with my albino rat on my shoulder watching this movie I've and over again, and *you KNOW* she was sitting patiently watching it with me ❤️
Yass thank you ratatouille Is literally my favorite Pixar movie
Cook, singer, gemologist, or interior designer. Those were my ideals on my future as I grew up. I was actually gonna start college for Interior Design but I began having seizures before I could step foot into that college.
It’s illegal for me to drive because of my epilepsy so getting even a job is almost impossible. I mean seriously, what company is gonna hire someone that could easily suddenly collapse and get terribly hurt or even die if they fell wrong? In front of costumers no less. Before y’all say it I know it’s illegal for an employer to refuse me because of my disability. They could just use the fact that there are a lot more people that fit the job other than me.
But because of my disability I have been able to practice my photography. It’s helped.
my favorite TV French Chef when I was growing up in the '70s was Julia Childs.

"I wonder what kind of soup that was ?"
It's called *Potato Leek Soup* , if you want to make one there's a recipe on the internet (including on UA-cam)
19:06 idk if anyone mentioned it ( I learned this from a French commenter on another ratatouille reaction vid) but apparently ratatouille is in fact a stew that's why its a "peasant dish" because its not something you see at fancy restaurants ( the one that ego's mom cooks) and what they actually cook here in the movie is called "un tian de legumes" which is different but I suppose similar in taste maybe? to ratatouille
The funny thing for the character of Linguine I this movie is that his first name is Alfredo. So yeah Alfredo Linguine is named after 2 pastas.
You’re sooooo right about the Neil Patrick Harris thing!!

This movie and Incredibles 1 are my favorite post - Disney renaissance movies
