@kevinlewallen4778 Jen really outdid herself with the Canadian niceness ( yes that's a word now) and this movie is so heartwarming Remy and his rat buddies are so frigging cute . Another win for Pixar and not surprisingly an Oscar winner too Happy to catch this Happy New Year Cheers mate🎉😊
The music is by the great Michael Giacchino (Ratatouille, Coco, Inside Out, Up, Incredibles, the Tom Holland Spider-Man films, Rogue One, the Star Trek remakes.... on and on). He's tied with John Williams as my favorite film composer. He's also dabbled in directing (Werewolf by Night, which he both directed and wrote the score)
As a pet-rat slave, I can say that they got the rat behaviour down to a T. I've had both a Remy (Picky) and Emile (Greedy and would eat anything). They have such funny personalities, and it's captured so well in this movie 😍😍
My roommates had a lot of pet rats over the years. They're actually quite affectionate and good about keeping themselves clean. Voice cast was on point: * Janeane Garofalo as Colette * Ian Holm (RIP, Bilbo Baggins) as Chef Skinner * Patton Oswalt as Remy * Brian Dennehy (RIP) as Django (Remy's dad) * Brad Garrett (Ray's older brother on "Everybody Loves Raymond") as Chef Gusteau * John Ratzenberger (in *every* Pixar film) as Mustafa (the waiter) * Lou Romano as Alfredo Linguini Didn't recognize Linguini's VA by name, but his shouty/raised voice is distinctive -- he also played Dash's teacher in "The Incredibles". "Coincidence? I think NOT!"
At a premiere where a large part of the audience was from the restaurant industry, during a break one chef was heard to say "Why did it take a rat for Hollywood to finally get the food right?"
One of my all time favourite childhood films. They defeat Ego by serving him a humble dish, which reminds him of his mother's cooking, and afterwards, he dresses in more earthy tones, after discovering his "roots."
I've lost count of how many times I've watched this movie, it's simply fantastic, my favorite part is when Linguine catches Rat by surprise cooking the soup, it's very funny 👏👏👏
Was in a pet store few years ago and a young woman was just so thrilled that shed just purchased an adorable white rat -- yes it was adorable with little paws that looked like human hands; so cute and adorable, just like you Jen. No, I'm not saying you're a rat, I'm saying you're a wonderfully charming reviewer/reactor-- wishing you a very Happy New Year😃, looking forward to watching more movies with you in 2025!🎉🎉
Hey Jen, Ratatouille is such an amazing and heartfelt movie. --------- I can't tell you enough how much I love this movie. I only watched the film at first because it's a Pixar flick. ---------- I came to enjoy and love the message of hope, passion, and belief in one's dreams. ------ The people at Pixar never fail.
The story about Anton Ego and his childhood dish of ratatouille is a rewriting of a story by Marcel Proust. Proust was a genius and his works were well known by French people and everyone who love literature one hundred years ago. In his novel, A la recheche du tamps perdu, (Remembrance of Things Past) he describes a moment when he bites into a pastry called a Madeleine, a kind of a tea cake still popular in France. Everything about it instantly recalls the times he enjoyed them in his youth, the sound, the taste, the aroma. Any French person would understand the reference.
Yes, the Madeleine's were made in the first "Transporter" film. The detective talks about Proust then as well. Also Ratatouille takes about 3 hours to make. I looked it up after this film. Used to love to cook many different things but don't stray much because food is so expensive.
The Iron Giant (1999) is my favorite older animated movie and Ratatouille is my favorite Pixar animated movie. What are the odds that one day I see that both movies are directed by Brad Bird, he also did The Incredibles too. Remember when on the Spirit of Adventure in UP, Charles Muntz told the dogs to, "surprise me?" Yeah, that was a reference to Anton Ego from this movie because it came out 2 years earlier than UP. But I love this movie because of the unique plot, the setting and the music is so good. The Ratatouille in this movie is actually from a chef that was told to make it fancy and that's what they did. Confit byaldi is what you see in the movie, but the real version is what you see in Ego's flashback with him as a kid. If you want a musical experience, Pixar's SOUL has some really great stuff.
Hey Jen, the critic's flashback to his childhood also takes me back to the first song I loved and my mom's fresh bread. Such a powerful sentiment is expressed in this movie. Pixar touches us so deeply when we least expect it.
Hey Lady! Guess what? I’m 54 and have had two mice as pets when I was young, and as recently as 7 years ago I had two boy rats named Piglet and Tazzy. They were sweet as can be, just like miniature doggies, and very clean like cats. You can train them to use a litter box. They come when you call them and their eyes “ boggle” when they are happy…like a cat purring. Rats are used to sniff out land mines too. They are really,really smart. They live on average about 2 years…sometimes more if you are lucky. I rescued my Tazzy after a snake wouldn’t eat him.
I've always been real good when it comes to cooking, i treat it like chemistry in my kitchen as my own little laboratory. I find this film entertaining and the message behind it.
No matter what you review… you’re the greatest MovieRUclipsr on planet earth… because you truly cherish and worship movies. That’s so rare. Please stay that way! And tbh: no one plays the „Con Air“ theme Air-Guitar“ like you … and no one imitates the TopGun Maverick theme music so nicely ❤ Happy new year for tomorrow from Germany 🎉
Jen, given how you loved this movie, you will love the 1971, “Willard”, and its sequel, “Ben” (which features Michael Jackson singing the theme song). Vote a 👍🏻 to encourage Jen to add this to her long list!
Lol. I was thinking of these 2 films as well after seeing Jen's reaction to this awesome film. Willard and Ben are a totally different vibe, but still very good recommendations!
Want to say a massive thankyou to Jen's editor's for all the fantastic edits throughout 2024 🙌 and to Jen for all her wonderful thumbnails they are always fantastic 🔥💙
I see this movie as no less than a masterpiece. Getting me to suspend belief that Remy could do what he does with Linguini, plus the music…C’est magnifique!
I felt like you did, Jen. I have never seen this movie and I want to see the whole thing now! And, yes, that music was fantastic! Michael Giacchino really smashed it with those great woodwinds. I sometimes get the same way with John Williams' music and I hear a French Horn (I was a French Horn player for many years)! Thanks for the fun!
I remember when my brother really wanted a pet rat after he saw this in theatres. He begged every day for one and when my mom finally got him one for his birthday, he named it Remy.
As an animator I don't think I ever noticed the music. I was busy watching all the animation and effects. Crazy thing is someone online had the actually kitchen scene files from this movie and gave them out. I loaded it up but it was so dense my computer wouldn't handle any more than that.
Hey Jen, I and the rest of the movie-watching community had extreme reservations about this movie. Don't get me wrong, if Pixar can meet me like a robot who doesn't talk. A fish that gets lost. ------- Toys that come alive when we're out of the room and a musician who wants to leave Heaven because he has a gig to play. ------- Then who's to say a rat can't be a Michelin chef. I have no doubt that Pixar are Masters at what they do after seeing Ratatouille.
The animators lived with pet rats for a while to get the way that rats move perfected. The little bum wiggle when they walk and run is extremely accurate!
This movie gives me ptsd from my years as a cook in a crazy restaurant... just as an example, when we tried to hire new cooks, we went through several and most of them didnt even stay like 4 hours before quitting lol... and most people think that restaurant is one of the best in the city... but people have no idea how it all runs behind the curtain...
One of the best animated films ever, it is truly a masterpiece. The story was so heartwarming, the animations were absolutely stunning and the music is amazing.
This was Pixar's last movie under their initial Disney distribution agreement. It was designed as a film to demonstrate the full range of Pixar's talent when they were looking for a new distributor.
Jen, you said at first that you don't like rats but they are much smarter and more worthy of respect than mice, something I learned while keeping reptiles. I hope that you enjoy these animated rats.
Last video of the year! Thank you so much for a year filled with great reactions, and here's to all the wonderful ones ahead. Your work brightens a lot of people's days. Happy New Year, Jen!
Oh Jen. This is probably the last movie reaction of the year but you should know that YOU put so much joy in our lives. For us you are this beautiful woman, this beautiful human being, so sensitive and so full of life. Wish you the best New Years and long and successful life. Happy New Year Jen 🎉❤
The voice actor for Remi, Patton Oswalt, is an exceptional comedian and a talented writer and I'm always so happy he gets success (he's had more than his fair share of tragedy). It felt insane hearing he was cast for this and it turned out wonderfully.
Rats are fantastic pets. Never knew how affectionate they were until I had one. It's hard that they don't live very long. But that's why I have so much respect for people who care for them. Im sorry for your loss, but you gave Professor Beans a good life. Thank you
This is such a wonderful and sweet movie, just perfect for a super enjoyable reaction by Jen😊 It's always interesting to hear your opinion about the score of a movie. I had so much fun! Thanks alot ❤
You brought up the clarinet. Nobody ever mentions the clarinet. It's such a fun instrument. I haven't played in ages, since I let my niece have mine. She gave up band and let it get wet. She gave it back, but I would have to take it to a specialist to be able to play again.
This is definately a top tier Pixar film. Critics flashback, yeah, that can happen. Every time I make recipe's with my late mom's cookbook (and all the hand written recipe's stuck there, that is only real family heirloom in this family), I do get childhood flashbacks.
I really get a kick out of how they explain the experience of food and give some glimpses of kitchen culture. Whats even cooler is seeing real-world chefs love this flick.
I initially thought you’d done this reaction already, but then I remembered, “If Jen had done this already she would have definitely carried on about the soundtrack and orchestration and to my memory she did not! Ergo!”
I had a pet rat once, I called him Remy because of this movie. Wish he was still here. Also, rats don't have a gag reflex so that soup was so bad it broke the laws of nature.
I played a clarinet made by conn. Mom played flute brother played piano. Muusicial family. I also like the music in this movie. Hello from PA USA 🇺🇸 ❤❤❤
Honestly, this is a tour de force from Giacchino, but to me my all time favorite of his work will always be where I heard him first: The PlayStation/Sega Saturn video game version of The Lost World: Jurassic Park in 1997, one of if not the first video games to have a soundtrack recorded by a full orchestra.
Ratatouille is one of my Top 3 Pixar movies (the other two being Coco and Up) - and this is the one that is often overlooked. The animation still looks gorgeous, despite being already 18 years old - i guess the art of animation has not improved that much since. I highly recommend this movie any time because it is a fun and entertaining watch - and you will be definetly hungry after.
The shadow of the dog towards the start of this movie when Gusto told him to go up and take a look around….that was Gus the golden retriever from the movie UP.
I love this movie. It is this, and Chef, that are my fav food movies. And drama comedies. Chef, with Jon Favreau as a fancy chef not being happy with his life. And Sofia Vergara as his ex from hell, and mother of his son. Well, she seems as the ex from hell at first, but she grows on you. She cares about her son, and his relationship to his father. It also has Dustin Hoffman as the restaurant owner from hell, and Oliver Platt as the food critic from hell. And John Leguizamo and Scarlett Johansson as the best coworkers ever. Robert Downey Jr. is there too, in a minor but important role, as another ex of Sofia's. And she asks him a very important favor. Gary Clark Jr. is there too, when they stop over in Austin, as himself, playing a gig. Great music in that movie, as in this one!
Good evening Jen. There is a sitcom from UK called Fawlty Tower staring John Clese. There is an episode called "Basil the rat." One of the characters, a Spanish waiter named Manuel has a pet rat that he named after the John Clese character, Basil. Anyone the waiter overheard the chef say that he put Basil in the Ratatouille. So funny 😂😂. The whole sitcom will have you laughing out loud. Have a wonderful New Year Jen❤
Loved that movie so much. I love to cook and I did work in a restaurant kitchen. The details are excellent and a real kitchen works just like in the movie.
Those who don't like rats have never felt the intense love of one. My little Amber defeated many cages in order to come find me for aa cuddle at 3am. She was an intense fireball of determination and affection. Broke my heart into pieces when she died. I'll never forget her 😢
Outstanding reaction, Jen! I love all your videos, but there's something very special about watching animation with you, especially when it comes from genius Brad Bird (Incredibles, Simpsons); I "toast his non-idiocy." Thanks for a terrific, fun time!
Salutations JEN , what a great flick to end off the old year and to usher in the NEW year it was so charming and adorable yes you as well JEN 😄 I've worked in a few kitchens myself so i can relate on some level to these antics minus the talking rat . Apparently REMY 's expressions were based on a real chef who was a consultant on this movie ! Wishing you a Happy New YEAR Jen all the best for 2025 🥳🎉🎊❤🥂
Clarinet driven score nirvana may very well be The Terminal - composed by John Williams. A Spielberg/Hanks movie. I like the movie a lot better than other people do, but as a clarinet player, the score is out of the world. Even if it is for your own amusement, you should check it out. Emily Bernstein was the lead clarinest who sadly died shortly after from liver cancer. She left behind a masterpiece.
13:52 be careful, I've heard from people that it always starts with one rat but it becomes an addiction and you'll have 15 before you know it. They're very smart and sweet and great pets apparently.
This is so good Jenny but it always makes me hungry, plus it has the wonderful voice of Peter O'Toole as the Food critic Anton Ego old British actor sadly passed away now. ❤
Happy new year 2025 Jen! so happy your finally watching for the first time my favorite Patton Oswalt movie who's the voice of Remy in case you didn't know haha 😄👏🏻🎊🎉💕🎥🐀
✨Would you eat at a restaurant run by a rat!?
ANIMATED Playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLQHhQlj8i5drw7xdLD3YvywSxyIFTQbcT
They say ignorance is bliss so maybe I already have 😅 Anyone can Cook so why not 🙂
I quite often share meals with rats and quite often threaten to eat the rats too, they smell like biscuits 🙂
If I hadn’t seen this movie I would have said “no.”
As long as they showered in the dishwasher. 😊
Recommendation: RANGO modern day masterpiece 👌
At 04:55, Jen with the most "Canadian nice" take on rat infestation EVER: "I'm sure they're all very nice but no thank you!"🤣
@kevinlewallen4778
Jen really outdid herself with the Canadian niceness ( yes that's a word now) and this movie is so heartwarming
Remy and his rat buddies are so frigging cute .
Another win for Pixar and not surprisingly an Oscar winner too
Happy to catch this
Happy New Year
Cheers mate🎉😊
@@harveylee51 Happy New Year, Harvey.
10 out of 10 clarinets. Happy new year Jen.
Thank you!! Gotta love those woodwinds ☺️🎶
The music is by the great Michael Giacchino (Ratatouille, Coco, Inside Out, Up, Incredibles, the Tom Holland Spider-Man films, Rogue One, the Star Trek remakes.... on and on). He's tied with John Williams as my favorite film composer. He's also dabbled in directing (Werewolf by Night, which he both directed and wrote the score)
He's brilliant, isn't he. He also did the score for The Batman, which is absolutely superb.
7:34 That aint just any dog Jen, that's DUG from UP!
I said it first.
As a pet-rat slave, I can say that they got the rat behaviour down to a T. I've had both a Remy (Picky) and Emile (Greedy and would eat anything). They have such funny personalities, and it's captured so well in this movie 😍😍
My roommates had a lot of pet rats over the years. They're actually quite affectionate and good about keeping themselves clean.
Voice cast was on point:
* Janeane Garofalo as Colette
* Ian Holm (RIP, Bilbo Baggins) as Chef Skinner
* Patton Oswalt as Remy
* Brian Dennehy (RIP) as Django (Remy's dad)
* Brad Garrett (Ray's older brother on "Everybody Loves Raymond") as Chef Gusteau
* John Ratzenberger (in *every* Pixar film) as Mustafa (the waiter)
* Lou Romano as Alfredo Linguini
Didn't recognize Linguini's VA by name, but his shouty/raised voice is distinctive -- he also played Dash's teacher in "The Incredibles". "Coincidence? I think NOT!"
Don't forget the biggest ace in the film's voice cast: the late great Peter O'Toole (Lawrence of Arabia) as Anton Ego
Tell that to the Black Plague.
This movie is so good. Incredibly charming, off-the-wall creative, and doesn't talk down to the audience. I wish Pixar still made them like this.
One of Pixar's best, Janeane Garofalo was a revelation, amazing accent.
Yes, I had no idea that was her until I looked at IMDb.
At a premiere where a large part of the audience was from the restaurant industry, during a break one chef was heard to say "Why did it take a rat for Hollywood to finally get the food right?"
And the voice actors - an animated movie with Ian Holm and Peter O'Toole? Wow!
One of my all time favourite childhood films. They defeat Ego by serving him a humble dish, which reminds him of his mother's cooking, and afterwards, he dresses in more earthy tones, after discovering his "roots."
He also has a better complexion and has put on a little weight!
@@StevenHenry-h9g He loves food! (When it's good.)
I've lost count of how many times I've watched this movie, it's simply fantastic, my favorite part is when Linguine catches Rat by surprise cooking the soup, it's very funny 👏👏👏
Seeing Ego take that first bite of Remy's ratatouille watching this in the theater will always be a great memory! It was thrilling!
Was in a pet store few years ago and a young woman was just so thrilled that shed just purchased an adorable white rat -- yes it was adorable with little paws that looked like human hands; so cute and adorable, just like you Jen. No, I'm not saying you're a rat, I'm saying you're a wonderfully charming reviewer/reactor-- wishing you a very Happy New Year😃, looking forward to watching more movies with you in 2025!🎉🎉

I only watched the film at first because it's a Pixar flick. ---------- I came to enjoy and love the message of hope, passion, and belief in one's dreams. ------ The people at Pixar never fail.
That moment when Ego takes his first bite ... that is what every chef dreams of doing for someone. I know that is the feeling I will chase for years.
I once came into the kitchen to find my brother making food and playing the Ratatouille soundtrack.
The story about Anton Ego and his childhood dish of ratatouille is a rewriting of a story by Marcel Proust.

"They're going to have to kill them both!"
Savage, Jen. Savage. 🤣
That flashback scene to Ego's youth is one of the best shots I've ever scene. Gets me every time.
The Iron Giant (1999) is my favorite older animated movie and Ratatouille is my favorite Pixar animated movie. What are the odds that one day I see that both movies are directed by Brad Bird, he also did The Incredibles too. Remember when on the Spirit of Adventure in UP, Charles Muntz told the dogs to, "surprise me?" Yeah, that was a reference to Anton Ego from this movie because it came out 2 years earlier than UP.

Confit byaldi is what you see in the movie, but the real version is what you see in Ego's flashback with him as a kid.
If you want a musical experience, Pixar's SOUL has some really great stuff.
This film has a special place in my family. My 6yo watches it like clockwork w/ my father every Thanksgiving.
That's very touching and sweet
Hey Jen, the critic's flashback to his childhood also takes me back to the first song I loved and my mom's fresh bread. Such a powerful sentiment is expressed in this movie. Pixar touches us so deeply when we least expect it.
Hey Lady! Guess what? I’m 54 and have had two mice as pets when I was young, and as recently as 7 years ago I had two boy rats named Piglet and Tazzy. They were sweet as can be, just like miniature doggies, and very clean like cats. You can train them to use a litter box.

They live on average about 2 years…sometimes more if you are lucky. I rescued my Tazzy after a snake wouldn’t eat him.
I've always been real good when it comes to cooking, i treat it like chemistry in my kitchen as my own little laboratory. I find this film entertaining and the message behind it.
7:23 "What-the-freak's goin' on in THERE?!?" [...] "🤦♀ French people." 🤣
No matter what you review… you’re the greatest MovieRUclipsr on planet earth… because you truly cherish and worship movies. That’s so rare. Please stay that way!
And tbh: no one plays the „Con Air“ theme Air-Guitar“ like you … and no one imitates the TopGun Maverick theme music so nicely ❤
Happy new year for tomorrow from Germany 🎉
Jen, given how you loved this movie, you will love the 1971, “Willard”, and its sequel, “Ben” (which features Michael Jackson singing the theme song).
Vote a 👍🏻 to encourage Jen to add this to her long list!
Lol. I was thinking of these 2 films as well after seeing Jen's reaction to this awesome film.
Willard and Ben are a totally different vibe, but still very good recommendations!
I'm still waiting for one of my pet rats to make me an omelette for breakfast 😂
😅
I've always thought of this film as being one of the most charming, I loved your reaction to it, Jen, and I'm really glad that you loved it too.
I’ve never seen this and I wasn’t sure I would like it, but your reaction got me invested and it was a great watch after a hard few days, thanks Jen.
Now we need the " OH Crap OH Crap OH Crap " tee's, Jen! 😊 Loved this reaction!
The rat-catcher shop is based on a real storefront in Paris. I saw it in person when I was in Paris in the early 90s
It promotes their success. I think the carcasses were also used as animal feed.
Want to say a massive thankyou to Jen's editor's for all the fantastic edits throughout 2024 🙌 and to Jen for all her wonderful thumbnails they are always fantastic 🔥💙
Ratatouille always makes me cry. It’s just such an emotionally uplifting story.
I see this movie as no less than a masterpiece. Getting me to suspend belief that Remy could do what he does with Linguini, plus the music…C’est magnifique!
I felt like you did, Jen. I have never seen this movie and I want to see the whole thing now! And, yes, that music was fantastic! Michael Giacchino really smashed it with those great woodwinds. I sometimes get the same way with John Williams' music and I hear a French Horn (I was a French Horn player for many years)! Thanks for the fun!
There is a Fan Theory that the old woman in the beginning of the movie is the Food Critics mother which is why he loved the food he was eating
I remember when my brother really wanted a pet rat after he saw this in theatres. He begged every day for one and when my mom finally got him one for his birthday, he named it Remy.
I'm afraid to ask, but did the novelty wear off, or did Remy live a happy life?
@@WhiteWoof Remy lived a very happy life. My brother took really good care of him.
As an animator I don't think I ever noticed the music. I was busy watching all the animation and effects. Crazy thing is someone online had the actually kitchen scene files from this movie and gave them out. I loaded it up but it was so dense my computer wouldn't handle any more than that.

New drinking game... Every time Jen says "This Music" do a shot😂
Domesticated rats can be utterly adorable pets. They are friendly, love to play... and enjoy being tickled.
The main downside is just that they don't live long enough.
Don't they famously laugh when they are tickled?
@captainchaos3667 Yes, it's ultrasonic, so outside human hearing range.
One of the best animated films ever, it is truly a masterpiece. The story was so heartwarming, the animations were absolutely stunning and the music is amazing.

I'm so early 😀One of my rats, Professor Beans passed two days ago. I'm watching with Handsome Graham to stop him getting lonely.

Those are wonderful rat names. I am sorry for your loss.
Rats are fantastic pets. Never knew how affectionate they were until I had one. It's hard that they don't live very long. But that's why I have so much respect for people who care for them. Im sorry for your loss, but you gave Professor Beans a good life. Thank you
I’m genuinely sorry for the passing of your friend but Prof. Beans has me giggling. What a pairing of a name and honorific.
@@bitterzombie The fact they only live to 5 years for the most part makes then not fantastic pets in my opinion
This not only my favorite Pixar film, but also one of my favorite movies of all time!
This is such a wonderful and sweet movie, just perfect for a super enjoyable reaction by Jen😊 It's always interesting to hear your opinion about the score of a movie. I had so much fun! Thanks alot ❤
Thanks, Jen, for sharing this. I haven't watched it in a while and had forgotten that Remy was advised by a ghost.
i want jen's "oh crap! oh crap! oh crap!" as a ringtone 🤔 i would use it for my BOSS! 🤣 LOVED your reaction! 👍😁

Chef, with Jon Favreau as a fancy chef not being happy with his life. And Sofia Vergara as his ex from hell, and mother of his son. Well, she seems as the ex from hell at first, but she grows on you. She cares about her son, and his relationship to his father. It also has Dustin Hoffman as the restaurant owner from hell, and Oliver Platt as the food critic from hell. And John Leguizamo and Scarlett Johansson as the best coworkers ever. Robert Downey Jr. is there too, in a minor but important role, as another ex of Sofia's. And she asks him a very important favor. Gary Clark Jr. is there too, when they stop over in Austin, as himself, playing a gig. Great music in that movie, as in this one!
I learned the word “plengeur” from reading George Orwell’s Down and Out in Paris and London.
Weekend at Bernie's remark is not to far off ... Remember this movie when you watch it 😆
Good evening Jen. There is a sitcom from UK called Fawlty Tower staring John Clese. There is an episode called "Basil the rat." One of the characters, a Spanish waiter named Manuel has a pet rat that he named after the John Clese character, Basil. Anyone the waiter overheard the chef say that he put Basil in the Ratatouille. So funny 😂😂. The whole sitcom will have you laughing out loud. Have a wonderful New Year Jen❤
Giachino has made some of the best animated scores. The Incredibles and this taking the top spots.
You got emotionally attached to a rat sooo quick hahaha. Great video
Loved that movie so much. I love to cook and I did work in a restaurant kitchen. The details are excellent and a real kitchen works just like in the movie.
Those who don't like rats have never felt the intense love of one. My little Amber defeated many cages in order to come find me for aa cuddle at 3am. She was an intense fireball of determination and affection. Broke my heart into pieces when she died. I'll never forget her 😢
Outstanding reaction, Jen! I love all your videos, but there's something very special about watching animation with you, especially when it comes from genius Brad Bird (Incredibles, Simpsons); I "toast his non-idiocy." Thanks for a terrific, fun time!
Happy New Year Miss Jennypenny.
31:38 the tablecloth 😂😂😂
Glad you're doing this movie. IMO the most overlooked Disney movie I can think of.
Personally I don't think it's an overlooked film..it's a pretty popular Pixar movie.
@@BobCrabtree-ev4rz Agreed. For an overlooked Disney film, I’d go with Lilo & Stitch
They are actually very clean and social creatures if given the correct environment!
7:35 And it's Doug, 2 years before Up! :)
Salutations JEN , what a great flick to end off the old year and to usher in the NEW year
it was so charming and adorable yes you as well JEN 😄
I've worked in a few kitchens myself so i can relate on some level to these antics minus the talking rat .
Apparently REMY 's expressions were based on a real chef who was a consultant on this movie !
Wishing you a Happy New YEAR Jen all the best for 2025
🥳🎉🎊❤🥂
20:50 - "L'idiote".
Clarinet driven score nirvana may very well be The Terminal - composed by John Williams. A Spielberg/Hanks movie. I like the movie a lot better than other people do, but as a clarinet player, the score is out of the world. Even if it is for your own amusement, you should check it out. Emily Bernstein was the lead clarinest who sadly died shortly after from liver cancer. She left behind a masterpiece.
This is my favorite Pixar movie
Thanks ❤❤
I love Patton Oswalt. He's just a good dude. He's just as nerdy as I am, but he has mega loving father energy.
13:52 be careful, I've heard from people that it always starts with one rat but it becomes an addiction and you'll have 15 before you know it. They're very smart and sweet and great pets apparently.
This is so good Jenny but it always makes me hungry, plus it has the wonderful voice of Peter O'Toole as the Food critic Anton Ego old British actor sadly passed away now. ❤
Happy new year 2025 Jen! so happy your finally watching for the first time my favorite Patton Oswalt movie who's the voice of Remy in case you didn't know haha 😄👏🏻🎊🎉💕🎥🐀
"Big Hero 6" would be another great animated movie to react to that I think you would enjoy. 👍💯
This was one of the last films I rented from a video store and brought it the next day.
Great reaction Jen. Such a cute movie.
