About Ratatouille

Remy, a rat, possesses a palate far more refined than that of his fellow comrades. He dreams of becoming a chef, one who creates rather than scavenges. When fate deposits him in the sewers beneath one of Paris’s most famous restaurants, he finds himself ideally placed to fulfill his dream. Forming an unusual alliance with a hapless young kitchen worker, Remy begins a daring culinary double life. As Remy pursues his vision, he must navigate the suspicions of the calculating Head Chef Skinner, the disapproval of Remy’s own colony, and the foreboding presence of renowned food critic Anton Ego, who strikes fear in the hearts of chefs all throughout France.

Our take on Ratatouille

Brad Bird's 2007 Pixar charmer follows Remy, a rat with a gourmet's palate, who teams up with a clumsy kitchen boy to cook in a great Paris restaurant. Gorgeous, warm and quietly radical about who gets to make art, it turns "anyone can cook" into a genuine creed. If its wit and warmth delighted you, Pixar's best and other tender animated comedies share its craft and its belief in unlikely dreamers.
