Hi Tim thank you so much for loving my comment but for some reason it was removed by my app glitch anyway thanks again. In case the comment is about Wolfgang Puck praising the accuracy of the French kitchen.
In truth, rats actually don't like getting dirty. They'll dig into the garbage and other nasty things to find food, but they'll immediately try to wash themselves clean afterwards. I find this really interesting.
I have two rats as pets and it is true. They don't, need baths, unless they have health issues. As long as I keep their cage clean, they don't smell gross or anything.
I love the line that says “Change is nature, the kind that we can influence. And it starts when we decide.” I still carry that with me everyday thanks to this movie.
Yep, his Dad points to bad things that happened in the past & says "this is the way things are." Remy says, no, that's just the way things WERE, but not how they have to be. He is willing to take a chance & do something new. Good shit
A lot of people consider this movie Pixar's greatest achievement, and, honestly, even though I have major nostalgia for some of their other films, i think they're right.
The irony is that Anton is not even a villain in this story. He is just doing his job, and he has extremely high expectations about good cuisine. The reason he is so gloomy and intimidating towards the chef world is because the standards have fallen so low (from his perspective) that no dish satisfies him anymore. That's quite sad and ironic for a gastronomy critic. He has to suffer disappointment after disappointment. Given that eating is one of the most wonderful and natural pleasures in life, no wonder why he is so bitter and depressed - as he puts it, he LOVES food.
Agreed. He loves food because it reminds him of one of the few good things he had as a poor kid before he became successful. It's only when he finds a humble chef who finally brings him back to his roots and touches him in the deepest reaches of his frozen heart that Ego finally remembers why he even became a food critic in the first place.
@@KashiKay Nya, what's interesting is that even Skinner wasn't a villain initially. In the first draft of the script, something similar to Anton's happens to Skinner. After Gusteau's death, the restaurant enters a crisis and the only way to keep it open is to license the image of his best friend in horrible pre-cooked products and that burns him inside. ("Our life was a dream, Gusteau. Why did they wake us up?" I remember reading that it was one of his lines in a key scene).After trying the ratatouille, he also has his own moment of realization, in which he remembers how much he enjoyed cooking with Gusteau, taking risks and innovating, which leads him to redirect his life. Heck, apparently even the health inspector had a mini plot where after hearing the story, as Anton does, he admits that the whole situation challenges his beliefs and dynamite his concept of the world, that it's going to be really difficult to change the general idea that people have about rats, but he wants to be part of the change that Linguini and Remy represent. All this would have lengthened the film a lot and therefore it was cut, but that is what was intended to happen and I find it very interesting that the first idea of the script was that the "villain" was preconceived ideas and emotional exhaustion.
“Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere.” Outside of the toy story movies, this my personal favorite pixar movie. I admire everything about it, the story, animation, messages, characters and antons speech is one of my favorite scenes in a animated movie.
I always cry when I see Anton ego's flashback of his mother making his ratatouille. I grew up in a family that loves food and cares significantly about good food. I was definitely spoiled. Lol. My father always told us to never settle for anything mediocre regarding food. Food is always comforting, and it always reminds me of home. Dinners with my family were (and still are) always one of the highlights of my day. Also, Linguini should have been a server from the start. He's so good at it!
That's true, it's funny the other humans believe Linguini is the "hero" of the story, but we know that's just an act. Once Remy is revealed Linguini is no longer the center of attention, so it is easy to not focus on the end of his character arc. He struggles to find a job, an identity, & find his path in life. He appreciates cooking, but lacks the talent to be a great chef, yet the whole world has expectations for him that he feels he can never meet. Once the truth is revealed, many people abandon him, but I think he was relieved. A huge weight was lifted. He doesn't have to live up to Gusteau's legacy. He quickly recognizes that he has something that HE can contribute to the restaurant for once. He found his own path, something he can be proud of. Good shit haha
Me too. I also break down watching the review scene. He knew that he was sacrificing everything he had worked for in his adult life, but he still went ahead and wrote what he did.
Did you notice that Gusteau's spirit doesn't appear anymore after Remy said " Because I'm a cook " ? As a french girl, I'm glad you liked this movie. If you didn't understand why Colette called the ratatouille " a peasant dish " it's because it's not a gastronomic dish so normally it's not the typical dish you can eat in a restaurant like Gusteau's. Also, what Remy served to Ego isn't a ratatouille but a " tian de légumes " who's something else. The real ratatouille is the one Ego's mom cooked. Also, Ego's flash-back is what we called in France " une madeleine de Proust " (Proust's madeleine " in english) who's about something who reminds us our childhood. The origin of this expression is the writer Marcel Proust who said in one book that the madeleines' odor reminded him his childhood. Fun fact : the singer of the song is the voice of Colette in the french version
Ratatouille is essentially the same dish but it's arranged different right? And do people over there consider Ratatouille as a kids movie? Also what does le festin talk about cause I heard some people say it's depressing.
@@jake8243 it's also the difference in cooking methods and some spices if I remember well. And ratatouille is 100% a kid's movie and one of the best. Also Le festin is about romance and the will to achieve your dreams, hence it has this kinda nostalgic melody: life has ups and downs. But it's not depressing, the chorus is even really inspiring.
Rosemary is a woody herb and is very hardy; it grows and spreads easily in the wild. A lot of the herbs we cook with are just that: wild plants that we discovered were edible. Many people plant rosemary and other herbs in their gardens to cook with and to make the yard smell nice. Saffron is a little rust-orange thread found in a crocus flower, I think. It’s the main flavoring in some Indian and Mediterranean cuisine (rice pilaf, paella). It’s very expensive because it takes a field of flowers to produce a tiny amount of saffron.
I love this film and the voice of Ego is legendary actor Peter O' Toole. Plus the detail of him saying "If I don't love it I don't swalow". When you see at the end he has put on a belly from eating good food.
You can also see the difference in his facial expressions at the end. His skin tone isn't so pale and he isn't so gaunt. And Peter O' Toole's voice just brings Ego's two sides to the table perfectly
Everything about Anton Ego is just amazing in this movie...his design, name (pretty on the nose considering what he represents), his typewriter shaped like a skull, office like a coffin and those lines and comeback are legendary ! Also that ending is so profound and revealing of the work of a critic...The world is unkind to the new, sometime you must give it a chance !
Fun Fact: Guy Savoy, a chef that mentored Gordon Ramsay, voiced acted a character in the French version of this film. And just by coincidence, that character that he voiced looks surprisingly like Ramsay.
This is hands down the most genius Pixar movie. I have never seen a speech so perfectly written as Ego's final critique here. This movie is insanely emotional to me.
Fact that not many people know: The house where Remi learned to cook (the old lady's house) is the same house Ego lived in as a child. Remi's Ratatouille reminds Ego of his mother's meal because Remi learned to make it from Ego's mother herself.
@@primv_5752 This isn’t a fact. It’s a stretch. I just don’t think ego would let his mother live like that, and tbh they look nothing alike in the flashback. The whole idea hinges on the house being the same house from the beginning but animators would 100% just reuse the house asset. It would be like making a theory based on the fact that all the kids at Andy’s birthday are recolored versions of Andy’s model.
You know, I just realized something. Linguini says he has no talent, but just look at the way he waits those tables! He actually does have talent. His talent is waiting tables fast, reliable and with style and pizazz!
It's very missable, but after Linguine takes over the restaurant, there's a five second scene of him teaching Colette how to roller skate. So Linguine waiting tables with roller skates didn't come out of the blue, it was set up earlier on.
The best part about this movie is the reformation of Anton Ego. It begins with good food. And "Ratatouille" has nailed the concept. Alright, who's hungry? 🍽️
How many interesting themes combined in one in one film. Acceptance of something new, the difference between the old and the new school, the path of a creative person, the simplicity of art and the main thing that “anyone can cook”. The last idea is a little deeper meaning, and which was voiced by Ego at the end.
For the Pixar team to understand how texture of food works, I’m glad they did their research by paying a visit to a culinary school in the Bay Area to get the animation as real as possible. In fact, Lou Romano (the voice of Linguini) once paid a visit to my local college as part of an assembly for aspiring art and film students like myself. Whether he voiced Linguini here, Snotrod of Cars, or Dash’s teacher Mr. Kopp of The Incredibles. He’s not one to mistake so easily.
I just want to add a funny fact of the dubbed latin spanish version. The actual voice actors who did Remy and Remy's dad are actually father and son. First actor Héctor Bonilla and his son Sergio Bonilla. Both terrific and well loved actors. Thanks for reacting to this movie is one of my favourites. :)
It’s worth noting that this is the most recent and so-far final reaction video collab Timothee had with ANGELINA as he hadn’t had any further collabs with her since May of 2022.
No problem with that, what the hell with that annoying singing over the intro to the movie? She does that often talking over the movie and that’s why I don’t watch her channel. Loud af all the time
One thing I also like about this film is the ego everyone has. Despite being the underdog, Remy still has an ego where he is dismissive of others. It’s very interesting. He becomes the best chef when he stops letting his ego getting in the way as well.
Saffron is a spice made from a flower from Greece, the reason it's so rare and expensive is that it can only be extracted from the 3 or 4 stigmas from one flower, meaning you need ALOT of flowers to be able to get even a few grams.
Fun Fact: If you take a close look at the items and their location in the kitchen of the old woman's house, you can see that it is exactly the same as the house where Ego lived as a child. Because the old woman is Ego's mother. The Rattatoullie that Remy made was therefore the same as that of Ego's mother, because Remy learned to cook from her.
I’m not a rat person, but I do like this story of Remy chasing and fulfilling his dream of becoming a cook. Ratatouille is a great Pixar film imo, always a fun watch every now and then.🙂
This entire show is an allegory for the brilliance of the human existence; through effort, creativity and careful decision making, you can transcend to the level of a metaphorical god by achieving excellence through your passions working in tandem with your skill and talents. Linguini himself is as example. He may not be the best chef of the greatest restaurant in Paris, but he may be its best waiter. By combining his skill as a rollerblader in combination with his desire to help and please others, he has achieved his own level of excellence and finding happiness and meaning in it. And that’s the inspiring message of the movie… Every single human has the capacity to reach this level. But they need to be fearless to reach this greatness, believe they deserve it and take it. So be morally ambitious, do what is unexpected, take initiative. If you were careful and confident in your knowledge and talents and applying proper standards, you need not fear the result.
In the end credits, they put a sticker that brags about how they used 100% genuine animation instead of motion capture. This was a response to the fact that the previous year, they lost the best animated Oscar to Happy Feet.
@@ma.2089 Ratatouille is traditionally a vegetarian stew. Which is not what was served at the end of this movie. Yes it was the same ingredients but the preperation method was very different, having thin slices of veggies would definately speed up the cooking process. And by the looks of it it was layed on top of a tomato paste or puree and had baking paper over the top to keep the moisture and flavour in. But I just work in hospitality so what the hell do I know right? 😂 Edit: I noticed as well that they did serve him a soup as an appetiser while he was waiting.
There's a fan theory online that the reason why Remy has such a talent for cooking is because he learned it from his mother, who was also Gusteau 's "little chef". It's most likely that Remy's mother died suddenly or was killed which why Gusteau died out of sadness for losing his rat friend.
I have a very strong hatred for rats, but this film was really good! Who knew that a rat could be so good at cooking? I like the message that this film gives our, which is to never give up on your dreams. It’s also very inspiring for people who has dreams of coming. This also makes me hungry every time I watch this. This is a recipe for another great Pixar classic!
This movie so popular in my Culinary school, I attended the year it came out, and it still holds up super well today. Also, Tim, I totally ship you and Angela, you guys such good chemistry together!
I absolutely love Ratatouille! I even tried cooking the dishes and they tasted EXQUISITE! Karl even sold 4 copies of Ratatouille for 1,000 dollars on MrBeast! I actually drew the ending picture with the eifiell tower and the ratatouille sign and my teacher loved it!
me as a child watching that ego review scene: yes excellent very good narration that I don't understand at all once you actually understand it it's actually incredible and it kinda hits also it's very unexpected from a movie like this
I forget how good this movie actually is. If I feel like watching a movie from my childhood, this movie wouldn't be my first pick, but yet it's actually one of the better ones out there! Also: Yay for another Timothee and Angelina collab!
17:53 Before Linguini walked out, Skinner said "One can get too familiar with vegetables, you know!" Now I understand what he meant, and I'm sure the writers knew too.
Fun fact: the store with the rats hanging in the window isn't about selling anything except for mouse traps & their services at killing rats which is an actual store in Paris. Also you have to love how Anton Ego stops doing the spit take then looks at the wine bottle cuz if it's a good wine or a good year why spit it out. And yeah ratatouille is a vegetable meal cuz as Collette said "it's a peasant dish" well way back when meat was uber expensive the easiest thing to use was what you could grow
18:07 It is actually realistic, but he is unlikely to grab the hair that controls his body. It's not made up in movies, it really works, you just have to know what hair controls the nerves.
I remember being so enchanted with this movie when I saw it in the cinema with my Mom. I wasn't exactly thrilled with the trailer they made for it, but the French countryside, the love for explaining the cooking process, and the slapstick made everything.
I took my nieces (then in grade school) to see this; the elder sister, Marina, was so captivated by it that afterwards, she wanted to cook something. I wish I could've obliged her, but in those days, my brother's kitchen was something of a mess...both parents worked, so....
I want to see a collaboration of you and Angelina making a simple food dish, where one of you is blindfolded and the other gives the instructions. And then switch roles. "THIS I COMMAND!" - Serpentor
rewatching this movie in my room while i eat spagguetti and hear my mom and my grandma watch a cooking program on the background in the next room is immersion at it's best moment
Ratatouille is probably my favorite Pixar movie. It may not be as recognizable as some of their movies like Toy Story, Monsters Inc, or Finding Nemo. But it’s just so fun and creative, and it has a really great message to it. About how people with extraordinary talents can come from anywhere, and to follow your passions no matter how unlikely they may seem to the outside world. The film itself is truly a work of art and it’s hard to believe it was made less than 2 decades ago. It’s so sad to see Pixar loose their creativity in such a short amount of time.
I put this on another video but I just always love Ego, especially the detail that is he doesn't love the food he's eating, he doesn't swallow hence why he is so gaunt. Yet! At the end, you can notice his cheeks have filled out and even started to plump up a bit, meaning he loves most, if not all, of Remy's food.
The one problem I have with this movie is the hair testing scene. The only hair we see the lawyer pick up is the one on Gusteau's toque. We never see him get Linguini's hair. As a kid I knew that if a character picks up a hair all serious-like, it means they test the hair. But I never knew it was for a paternity test. I didn't pay 100% attention to the audio as a kid. The animation is what I noticed the most. So when the lawyer says the hair results said the hair was rodent hair I assumed that meant that he was referring to the hair that HE picked up off Gusteau's toque. I never acknowledged he meant the sample of Linguini's hair that Skinner got off screen. SO I thought that meant that Gusteau ALSO had a tiny rat chef and it was a weird family habit to adopt a rat and have it make you a successful chef. I think it could have been done better so that it was more clear visually.
Don’t know why it didn’t occur to me until watching Ratatouille reactions but the restaurant at the end is the perfect balance of following his dreams and still looking out for his family. He keeps them safe now my by sniffing everyone’s good but being able to provide good he knows is safe. He only gets to do that for his colony because he used those abilities to realize his dream of being a chef. The support of his family hen he needed it enabled him to support them in return and fulfill the same duty that he is uniquely able to fulfill with what he’s been able to accomplish with those same abilities. Idk I just think it’s really sweet somehow that Remy’s sense of smell is an important gift he’s got and the duty to sniff out poisons is of utmost importance to a rat and he pursued something completely different that after proving himself, his family supporting him, and succeeding in running a kitchen and producing a wonderful meal, it’s come back around to still using that gift of smell keeping the colony safe from being poisoned. It enabled a better standard of living for the people he loves most.
RIP peter o'toole the voice of anton ego(1932-2013) RIP ian holm the voice of chef skinner(1931-2020) and RIP Brian Dennehy the voice of django(1938-2020)😥and i love ratatouille👨🍳🐀 ❤it is one of the underrated pixar movies but it is a good and a fantastic pixar movie🎬🎥👌 and it is one of my favorite pixar movies and ratatouille is about: that "anyone can cook" it realy don't matter what or who you are "anyone can cook" and tim have great day✌☀️😎🤙
Saffron is the most expensive spice in the world, worth around $10 a GRAM ($10000 a kilo). it's made from the internal strings of a flower (crocus) that can only be picked a few minutes per day at dawn and a few days only per year in automn. The flower dies after one season cycle and a new one needs to be replanted every year. And it takes 150 flowers to get one gram of spice. Also the flower looks a lot like another one that is a deadly poison, increasing even more the price of the real thing. That tube Remi is holding would be worth around $100, usually saffron comes in super tiny capsules so that people can afford it. Did anyone care ? Hello ? Oh well...
There's a very impressive theory that the old lady in the beginning is Ego mother, and also that Gusteau is Ego's brother! This is evidenced by the fact that she's wearing the same thing in Ego's flashback when she made ratatouille, and if you look, there is what appears to be a portrait of Gusteau hanging in the background. The theory is essentially: Ego's always been hard on Gusteau because he felt like Gusteau sold out, and thus dedicated his own life to preserving their mothers teachings and recipes. The dish that cost Gusteau one of his stars was the ratatouille dish, because it was a far cry from the one they ate when they grew up with. This also perfectly sets up the ending, because its not just the realization that it's delicious, it's the realization of, "They did it. They finally perfected our mothers recipe!"
I don't know if anyone has said it in comments yet but the dish that Remy cooks for Ego is surprisingly enough NOT a ratatouille! It's actually a sort of "confit byaldi" (the real ratatouille looks like a ragoût: all vegetables chopped and cooked in a sauce, not like in this movie where they are thinely sliced and arranged in a plate like you would do for an apple pie). Google it if you don't believe me haha! Also, that shop with all the dead rats hanging really does exists in Paris. It's in the 4th Arrondissement, I used to live nearby. These are fake plastic rats nowadays for sanitary purposes but back in the old days they were real dead rats :)
I think this movie is not only about rats or food, this whole story expresses what sort of tragedy Asia, Europe or even America have suffered, like a society of poverty looks for scraps of food while their own wanted to cook with fresh and clean ones for their health and safety. In the end the more jobs they're worked confidently the more healthy and safe life they are having. Like Jews work to be safe and fed during World War II. Quite a true and expressive story this!
This film is such a masterpiece! I think saw this in theatres when it first came out and Yes! the Dug cameo is part of Pixar's easter eggs and they do this in about every Pixar film where they put clue of the next upcoming movie.
Fun fact: the story about chef gusteau happend in rl when a chef in Paris had one of the most famous restaurants in the world with 5 stars but when he lost 1 of his stars he became depressed and killed himself
Sometimes i just pretend slices of fried potato would taste just like the specific food he made for that critic. The taste is clear in my mind😋 but not on my taste buds and it is unexplanable😆
My family and I really enjoy Pixar movies, and ever since I saw this one I've been combining flavors of whatever I eat for an elevated experience. Also, Patton Oswalt is always a win.
This film is so fun and timeless, like the animators aren't sooo concerned about what year this takes place things like that make for such fun expressions of what much of the world perceives Paris and France as; Overtly romantic and beautiful, I'm sure it's a really nice place to travel to but the colours and smells? are so vibrant in a tasteful way I already ate earlier but this makes me want to eat something nice lol
"HOW do you have the aim for rats!?!??" and "This grandma has GOD-Tier aim!" She grabbed a shotgun. She doesn't have aim, Remy's just been getting lucky about pellet spacing.
At 10:12, I'm pretty sure that that wasn't a reference to Doug the dog from Up because Up was released in 2009, two years after Ratatouille. Well, however, Up was still in production during 2007 and that dog's shadow resembling Doug was probably just a promotional Easter egg for what was yet to come in Pixar movies.

It's a small detail, but you can see that Ego has gained weight in the epilogue.
Clearly, he has been eating food he loves!
Oh wow didn’t notice that
I've NEVER noticed that before, and still missed it. 😂
Fun fact: Patton Oswalt, the actor who plays Remy, was chosen for the role because he did a stand up comedy joke about food.
Yeah that seems about right.
The irony is that Anton is not even a villain in this story. He is just doing his job, and he has extremely high expectations about good cuisine. The reason he is so gloomy and intimidating towards the chef world is because the standards have fallen so low (from his perspective) that no dish satisfies him anymore. That's quite sad and ironic for a gastronomy critic. He has to suffer disappointment after disappointment. Given that eating is one of the most wonderful and natural pleasures in life, no wonder why he is so bitter and depressed - as he puts it, he LOVES food.
I think another reason is he couldn't agree with Gusteau's motto that everyone can cook, which he just understood the meaning in the end.
Agreed. He loves food because it reminds him of one of the few good things he had as a poor kid before he became successful. It's only when he finds a humble chef who finally brings him back to his roots and touches him in the deepest reaches of his frozen heart that Ego finally remembers why he even became a food critic in the first place.
The real villain was Skinner 😂
@@KashiKay Nya, what's interesting is that even Skinner wasn't a villain initially. In the first draft of the script, something similar to Anton's happens to Skinner.

Man who tf is cutting these onions😭
Me too. I also break down watching the review scene. He knew that he was sacrificing everything he had worked for in his adult life, but he still went ahead and wrote what he did.
Did you notice that Gusteau's spirit doesn't appear anymore after Remy said " Because I'm a cook " ?
As a french girl, I'm glad you liked this movie.
If you didn't understand why Colette called the ratatouille " a peasant dish " it's because it's not a gastronomic dish so normally it's not the typical dish you can eat in a restaurant like Gusteau's. Also, what Remy served to Ego isn't a ratatouille but a " tian de légumes " who's something else. The real ratatouille is the one Ego's mom cooked.
Also, Ego's flash-back is what we called in France " une madeleine de Proust " (Proust's madeleine " in english) who's about something who reminds us our childhood.
The origin of this expression is the writer Marcel Proust who said in one book that the madeleines' odor reminded him his childhood.
Fun fact : the singer of the song is the voice of Colette in the french version
Ratatouille is essentially the same dish but it's arranged different right? And do people over there consider Ratatouille as a kids movie? Also what does le festin talk about cause I heard some people say it's depressing.
@@jake8243 it's also the difference in cooking methods and some spices if I remember well. And ratatouille is 100% a kid's movie and one of the best. Also Le festin is about romance and the will to achieve your dreams, hence it has this kinda nostalgic melody: life has ups and downs. But it's not depressing, the chorus is even really inspiring.
28:17 Note how he stops himself from spitting out the wine, checks the vintage, then swallows it instead.
Man knows better than to waste good wine.
He prevented himself from committing alcohol abuse, which is a serious crime among alcohol connoisseurs.
Rosemary is a woody herb and is very hardy; it grows and spreads easily in the wild. A lot of the herbs we cook with are just that: wild plants that we discovered were edible. Many people plant rosemary and other herbs in their gardens to cook with and to make the yard smell nice.
Saffron is a little rust-orange thread found in a crocus flower, I think. It’s the main flavoring in some Indian and Mediterranean cuisine (rice pilaf, paella). It’s very expensive because it takes a field of flowers to produce a tiny amount of saffron.
I love this film and the voice of Ego is legendary actor Peter O' Toole. Plus the detail of him saying "If I don't love it I don't swalow". When you see at the end he has put on a belly from eating good food.
Me too.
I didn't realize that egos voice was peter o toole aka Lawrence of arabia!
You can also see the difference in his facial expressions at the end. His skin tone isn't so pale and he isn't so gaunt. And Peter O' Toole's voice just brings Ego's two sides to the table perfectly
Everything about Anton Ego is just amazing in this movie...his design, name (pretty on the nose considering what he represents), his typewriter shaped like a skull, office like a coffin and those lines and comeback are legendary ! Also that ending is so profound and revealing of the work of a critic...The world is unkind to the new, sometime you must give it a chance !
Fun Fact: Guy Savoy, a chef that mentored Gordon Ramsay, voiced acted a character in the French version of this film. And just by coincidence, that character that he voiced looks surprisingly like Ramsay.
Horst?
@@christianfrost8660 Is that the name of the guy that goes "I killed a man, with THIS THUMB." If so, then yes.
@@jordandrinkwater1345 Horst.
This is hands down the most genius Pixar movie. I have never seen a speech so perfectly written as Ego's final critique here. This movie is insanely emotional to me.
Fact that not many people know: The house where Remi learned to cook (the old lady's house) is the same house Ego lived in as a child. Remi's Ratatouille reminds Ego of his mother's meal because Remi learned to make it from Ego's mother herself.
@@phantompherek Well it was presented to me as a fact but I could be wrong. Idk
@@primv_5752 This isn’t a fact. It’s a stretch. I just don’t think ego would let his mother live like that, and tbh they look nothing alike in the flashback.
The whole idea hinges on the house being the same house from the beginning but animators would 100% just reuse the house asset. It would be like making a theory based on the fact that all the kids at Andy’s birthday are recolored versions of Andy’s model.
I thought that was a wide fan theory. Oh never mind the guy above me clarified
Or it's just a coincidence.
What's a rat's lifespan?
You know, I just realized something. Linguini says he has no talent, but just look at the way he waits those tables! He actually does have talent. His talent is waiting tables fast, reliable and with style and pizazz!
It's very missable, but after Linguine takes over the restaurant, there's a five second scene of him teaching Colette how to roller skate. So Linguine waiting tables with roller skates didn't come out of the blue, it was set up earlier on.
The best part about this movie is the reformation of Anton Ego.
It begins with good food. And "Ratatouille" has nailed the concept. Alright, who's hungry? 🍽️
How many interesting themes combined in one in one film. Acceptance of something new, the difference between the old and the new school, the path of a creative person, the simplicity of art and the main thing that “anyone can cook”. The last idea is a little deeper meaning, and which was voiced by Ego at the end.
For the Pixar team to understand how texture of food works, I’m glad they did their research by paying a visit to a culinary school in the Bay Area to get the animation as real as possible.
In fact, Lou Romano (the voice of Linguini) once paid a visit to my local college as part of an assembly for aspiring art and film students like myself. Whether he voiced Linguini here, Snotrod of Cars, or Dash’s teacher Mr. Kopp of The Incredibles. He’s not one to mistake so easily.
He sounds like a great actor, and you're so lucky! 😍😍😍
You lucky duck.
This truly is Pixar's magnum opus. An inspiration for any artist.
anyone noticed ego's face is fuller at the end. He invested in Remy's restaurant and he is eating better and happier
I just want to add a funny fact of the dubbed latin spanish version. The actual voice actors who did Remy and Remy's dad are actually father and son. First actor Héctor Bonilla and his son Sergio Bonilla. Both terrific and well loved actors. Thanks for reacting to this movie is one of my favourites. :)
It’s worth noting that this is the most recent and so-far final reaction video collab Timothee had with ANGELINA as he hadn’t had any further collabs with her since May of 2022.
No problem with that, what the hell with that annoying singing over the intro to the movie? She does that often talking over the movie and that’s why I don’t watch her channel. Loud af all the time
One thing I also like about this film is the ego everyone has. Despite being the underdog, Remy still has an ego where he is dismissive of others. It’s very interesting. He becomes the best chef when he stops letting his ego getting in the way as well.
Saffron is a spice made from a flower from Greece, the reason it's so rare and expensive is that it can only be extracted from the 3 or 4 stigmas from one flower, meaning you need ALOT of flowers to be able to get even a few grams.
Fun Fact: If you take a close look at the items and their location in the kitchen of the old woman's house, you can see that it is exactly the same as the house where Ego lived as a child. Because the old woman is Ego's mother. The Rattatoullie that Remy made was therefore the same as that of Ego's mother, because Remy learned to cook from her.
That bit where Skinner says "one can get too familiar with vegetables you know!" Is one of my favourite subtle jokes in the film 🤣
Ikr? As a kid I didn’t get this but now as an adult I’m questioning if Skinner has stuck a cucumber up his ass or something 😂
RIP Peter O’Toole (August 2, 1932 - December 14, 2013), aged 81
You will always be remembered as a legend.
He was the voice for Anton Ego.
Wait...PETER O'TOOLE DIED?! WHAT?!
@@GracemarieJohnson2763 Yes he died. Have you ever heard of a television program and a website called the news and Wikipedia?
@@LPJack02 Yeah. But I don't watch or read the news anymore.
It's pretty impressive how only 3 ingredients were able to turn an atrocious soup into something acceptable without having to start all over again. XD
The best Pixar film. Outright. There’s so much depth and little things and themes from this movie that is amazing. Just a brilliant film.
Pre Inside Out, yes.
I’m not a rat person, but I do like this story of Remy chasing and fulfilling his dream of becoming a cook. Ratatouille is a great Pixar film imo, always a fun watch every now and then.🙂
Except who is a rat person, really?
Did you notice, Gusteau's spirit doesn't appear anymore after Remy said " Because I'm a cook "
@@AbrahamBenno Ratcatcher 2 from The Suicide Squad.
My brother seriously love 💕 rats 🐀
@@AbrahamBenno literally peope who own rats as pets
This entire show is an allegory for the brilliance of the human existence; through effort, creativity and careful decision making, you can transcend to the level of a metaphorical god by achieving excellence through your passions working in tandem with your skill and talents. Linguini himself is as example. He may not be the best chef of the greatest restaurant in Paris, but he may be its best waiter. By combining his skill as a rollerblader in combination with his desire to help and please others, he has achieved his own level of excellence and finding happiness and meaning in it. And that’s the inspiring message of the movie…
Every single human has the capacity to reach this level. But they need to be fearless to reach this greatness, believe they deserve it and take it. So be morally ambitious, do what is unexpected, take initiative. If you were careful and confident in your knowledge and talents and applying proper standards, you need not fear the result.
In the end credits, they put a sticker that brags about how they used 100% genuine animation instead of motion capture.
This was a response to the fact that the previous year, they lost the best animated Oscar to Happy Feet.
Fun Fact: A perfect Ratatouille takes 4 hours to make. Definitely Ego didn't waited for that long 😅😅
Rippp
It wasn’t a ratatouille tho right?
@@ma.2089 Ratatouille is traditionally a vegetarian stew. Which is not what was served at the end of this movie. Yes it was the same ingredients but the preperation method was very different, having thin slices of veggies would definately speed up the cooking process. And by the looks of it it was layed on top of a tomato paste or puree and had baking paper over the top to keep the moisture and flavour in.
But I just work in hospitality so what the hell do I know right? 😂
Edit: I noticed as well that they did serve him a soup as an appetiser while he was waiting.
There's a fan theory online that the reason why Remy has such a talent for cooking is because he learned it from his mother, who was also Gusteau 's "little chef". It's most likely that Remy's mother died suddenly or was killed which why Gusteau died out of sadness for losing his rat friend.
And probably explains why Remy’s dad resents humans so much. He lost his mate because of humans
I have a very strong hatred for rats, but this film was really good! Who knew that a rat could be so good at cooking? I like the message that this film gives our, which is to never give up on your dreams. It’s also very inspiring for people who has dreams of coming. This also makes me hungry every time I watch this.
This is a recipe for another great Pixar classic!
I like the Ego's critic when he says " Everyone can't be a great artist but a great artist can come for anywhere "
Why do you hate them?
@@Mothobius Well, most of them don't walk on their back paws & wash their front paws like Remy lol
@@marvelsandals4228 actually most rats are very hygienic. They clean themselves whenever they can since they walk into gross places like trash cans
This movie so popular in my Culinary school, I attended the year it came out, and it still holds up super well today. Also, Tim, I totally ship you and Angela, you guys such good chemistry together!
The child Anton's memory was set in the previous place where the rats lived. It looked very similar and maybe it was exactly it.
Fun fact: a American actress putting on a french accent is beyond impressive
I absolutely love Ratatouille! I even tried cooking the dishes and they tasted EXQUISITE!
Karl even sold 4 copies of Ratatouille for 1,000 dollars on MrBeast!
I actually drew the ending picture with the eifiell tower and the ratatouille sign and my teacher loved it!
me as a child watching that ego review scene: yes excellent very good narration that I don't understand at all
once you actually understand it it's actually incredible and it kinda hits also it's very unexpected from a movie like this
I forget how good this movie actually is. If I feel like watching a movie from my childhood, this movie wouldn't be my first pick, but yet it's actually one of the better ones out there!
Also: Yay for another Timothee and Angelina collab!
That line “Anyone can cook”. My favourite in the movie
17:53 Before Linguini walked out, Skinner said "One can get too familiar with vegetables, you know!" Now I understand what he meant, and I'm sure the writers knew too.
As cinemasins put it, Skinner has definitely experimented with vegetables at one point or another 🥒 🍑 😂
Fun fact: in the beginning of the movie when the TV shows up the song in the background is actually the French anthem playing with glory
“It’s come back, it’s…popular”
*spit take, checks wine, swallows* “I haven’t reviewed Gustsau’s in years…”
Imagine impressing Gordon Ramsay with food from a rat
I've seen fan art of that. In the drawing, Gordon was so impressed by the food Remy made, he said, "Delicious. Finally, some good f**king food."
Fun fact: the store with the rats hanging in the window isn't about selling anything except for mouse traps & their services at killing rats which is an actual store in Paris. Also you have to love how Anton Ego stops doing the spit take then looks at the wine bottle cuz if it's a good wine or a good year why spit it out. And yeah ratatouille is a vegetable meal cuz as Collette said "it's a peasant dish" well way back when meat was uber expensive the easiest thing to use was what you could grow
18:07 It is actually realistic, but he is unlikely to grab the hair that controls his body. It's not made up in movies, it really works, you just have to know what hair controls the nerves.
I remember being so enchanted with this movie when I saw it in the cinema with my Mom. I wasn't exactly thrilled with the trailer they made for it, but the French countryside, the love for explaining the cooking process, and the slapstick made everything.
I took my nieces (then in grade school) to see this; the elder sister, Marina, was so captivated by it that afterwards, she wanted to cook something. I wish I could've obliged her, but in those days, my brother's kitchen was something of a mess...both parents worked, so....
I want to see a collaboration of you and Angelina making a simple food dish, where one of you is blindfolded and the other gives the instructions. And then switch roles. "THIS I COMMAND!" - Serpentor
rewatching this movie in my room while i eat spagguetti and hear my mom and my grandma watch a cooking program on the background in the next room is immersion at it's best moment
Ratatouille is probably my favorite Pixar movie. It may not be as recognizable as some of their movies like Toy Story, Monsters Inc, or Finding Nemo. But it’s just so fun and creative, and it has a really great message to it. About how people with extraordinary talents can come from anywhere, and to follow your passions no matter how unlikely they may seem to the outside world. The film itself is truly a work of art and it’s hard to believe it was made less than 2 decades ago. It’s so sad to see Pixar loose their creativity in such a short amount of time.
I put this on another video but I just always love Ego, especially the detail that is he doesn't love the food he's eating, he doesn't swallow hence why he is so gaunt. Yet! At the end, you can notice his cheeks have filled out and even started to plump up a bit, meaning he loves most, if not all, of Remy's food.
I really love Pixar's Ratatouille (2007)! It's one of the best unforgettable Pixar's animated feature film ever!
Totally agree!
The one problem I have with this movie is the hair testing scene.
The only hair we see the lawyer pick up is the one on Gusteau's toque. We never see him get Linguini's hair. As a kid I knew that if a character picks up a hair all serious-like, it means they test the hair. But I never knew it was for a paternity test. I didn't pay 100% attention to the audio as a kid. The animation is what I noticed the most.
So when the lawyer says the hair results said the hair was rodent hair I assumed that meant that he was referring to the hair that HE picked up off Gusteau's toque. I never acknowledged he meant the sample of Linguini's hair that Skinner got off screen.
SO I thought that meant that Gusteau ALSO had a tiny rat chef and it was a weird family habit to adopt a rat and have it make you a successful chef. I think it could have been done better so that it was more clear visually.
Don’t know why it didn’t occur to me until watching Ratatouille reactions but the restaurant at the end is the perfect balance of following his dreams and still looking out for his family. He keeps them safe now my by sniffing everyone’s good but being able to provide good he knows is safe.
He only gets to do that for his colony because he used those abilities to realize his dream of being a chef. The support of his family hen he needed it enabled him to support them in return and fulfill the same duty that he is uniquely able to fulfill with what he’s been able to accomplish with those same abilities.
Idk I just think it’s really sweet somehow that Remy’s sense of smell is an important gift he’s got and the duty to sniff out poisons is of utmost importance to a rat and he pursued something completely different that after proving himself, his family supporting him, and succeeding in running a kitchen and producing a wonderful meal, it’s come back around to still using that gift of smell keeping the colony safe from being poisoned.
It enabled a better standard of living for the people he loves most.
RIP peter o'toole the voice of anton ego(1932-2013) RIP ian holm the voice of chef skinner(1931-2020) and RIP Brian Dennehy the voice of django(1938-2020)😥and i love ratatouille👨🍳🐀 ❤it is one of the underrated pixar movies but it is a good and a fantastic pixar movie🎬🎥👌 and it is one of my favorite pixar movies and ratatouille is about: that "anyone can cook" it realy don't matter what or who you are "anyone can cook" and tim have great day✌☀️😎🤙
Saffron is the most expensive spice in the world, worth around $10 a GRAM ($10000 a kilo). it's made from the internal strings of a flower (crocus) that can only be picked a few minutes per day at dawn and a few days only per year in automn. The flower dies after one season cycle and a new one needs to be replanted every year. And it takes 150 flowers to get one gram of spice. Also the flower looks a lot like another one that is a deadly poison, increasing even more the price of the real thing. That tube Remi is holding would be worth around $100, usually saffron comes in super tiny capsules so that people can afford it. Did anyone care ? Hello ? Oh well...
There's a very impressive theory that the old lady in the beginning is Ego mother, and also that Gusteau is Ego's brother!
This is evidenced by the fact that she's wearing the same thing in Ego's flashback when she made ratatouille, and if you look, there is what appears to be a portrait of Gusteau hanging in the background.
The theory is essentially: Ego's always been hard on Gusteau because he felt like Gusteau sold out, and thus dedicated his own life to preserving their mothers teachings and recipes.
The dish that cost Gusteau one of his stars was the ratatouille dish, because it was a far cry from the one they ate when they grew up with.
This also perfectly sets up the ending, because its not just the realization that it's delicious, it's the realization of, "They did it. They finally perfected our mothers recipe!"
i love watching y’all reactions together. we need more. they’re the best v
17:13 Skinner: Welcome to hell...
(Gordon Ramsay walks in...)
I don't know if anyone has said it in comments yet but the dish that Remy cooks for Ego is surprisingly enough NOT a ratatouille! It's actually a sort of "confit byaldi" (the real ratatouille looks like a ragoût: all vegetables chopped and cooked in a sauce, not like in this movie where they are thinely sliced and arranged in a plate like you would do for an apple pie). Google it if you don't believe me haha!
Also, that shop with all the dead rats hanging really does exists in Paris. It's in the 4th Arrondissement, I used to live nearby. These are fake plastic rats nowadays for sanitary purposes but back in the old days they were real dead rats :)
I think this movie is not only about rats or food, this whole story expresses what sort of tragedy Asia, Europe or even America have suffered, like a society of poverty looks for scraps of food while their own wanted to cook with fresh and clean ones for their health and safety. In the end the more jobs they're worked confidently the more healthy and safe life they are having. Like Jews work to be safe and fed during World War II. Quite a true and expressive story this!
That store with the rats hanging it he window is an actual real pest control store in France and the rats have been there for decades.
This film is such a masterpiece! I think saw this in theatres when it first came out and Yes! the Dug cameo is part of Pixar's easter eggs and they do this in about every Pixar film where they put clue of the next upcoming movie.
That was an amazing and funny reaction of Ratatouille. Anyone can cook, especially rats
🐀 🐀🐀❤❤❤🤣🤣🤣
Fun fact: the story about chef gusteau happend in rl when a chef in Paris had one of the most famous restaurants in the world with 5 stars but when he lost 1 of his stars he became depressed and killed himself
One of the only movies where the liar reveal works. Great movie!
Sometimes i just pretend slices of fried potato would taste just like the specific food he made for that critic. The taste is clear in my mind😋 but not on my taste buds and it is unexplanable😆
My family and I really enjoy Pixar movies, and ever since I saw this one I've been combining flavors of whatever I eat for an elevated experience. Also, Patton Oswalt is always a win.
She Really Is High School Friends
This movie is why I love smoked gouda and fresh strawberries, I've never tried it until remmy made the idea come up to me.
What a movie! Definitely one if my TOP 5 favourite from Pixar with Cars trilogy, Finding Nemo, Toy Story movies and The Incredibles
This film is so fun and timeless, like the animators aren't sooo concerned about what year this takes place
things like that make for such fun expressions of what much of the world perceives Paris and France as;
Overtly romantic and beautiful, I'm sure it's a really nice place to travel to but the colours and smells? are so vibrant in a tasteful way
I already ate earlier but this makes me want to eat something nice lol
One of my childhood favorite movie .I took culinary arts in high school,all 4 years! ❤️👨🏽🍳
I was amp rocking with Angelina kkkkkkkk then the musical just continued and I loved. Ratatouille is a master piece.
Ratatouille is definitely one of my favorite movies. The animation, the topic, the characters, the music, the moral of the story, it's just...
😘👌
one of the strongest movies ive seen. so heartwarming, deep and powerful
This movie may not be my favorite Pixar movie, but it is definitely the best one
"HOW do you have the aim for rats!?!??" and "This grandma has GOD-Tier aim!"
She grabbed a shotgun. She doesn't have aim, Remy's just been getting lucky about pellet spacing.
One of my favorite Pixar films! 😍😍😍
Also, LOVE the Hannah Montana and Camp Rock moments. 😍😍😍
I really enjoy the collaborations even better now that you in the same room.
My favourite duo !! (You and Ange)
12:53 Funny thing about this scene, rats are physically incapable of gagging. Linguini's soup was so bad that it broke the laws of physics! 🤣
whut do u mean?
Depending on the type of rat, a rat's lifespan is one or two years. That restaurant went out of business really fast!
This movie is a classic for sure!
Classic

At 10:12, I'm pretty sure that that wasn't a reference to Doug the dog from Up because Up was released in 2009, two years after Ratatouille.
Well, however, Up was still in production during 2007 and that dog's shadow resembling Doug was probably just a promotional Easter egg for what was yet to come in Pixar movies.
There is a reason why this spawn a fan fueled TikTok musical…..
