not everyone is gonna be the next leonardo da vinci. but where you come from does not set your future in stone. humble origins shouldn't stop someone from getting to the top.
Drew Russell I’ve always liked how the villain is defeated through nostalgia rather then some wacky violent hijinks, which likely would have been the solution had this film been made by a different studio
Igo's "critique" was written by a writer with more insight about the craft of critique than I have ever heard. It is harsh without being cynical; truthful without blame. This one scene makes the entire story for me. And I'm very happy they never made a sequel.
Who knows what those Dinsney overlords will make them do??!! Like below mediocre sequels like finding dori incredibles 2 and toy story 4. I doubt pixar wd hv made any of those if disney havsnt ordered them.

@@Dean0ne - Sure, but it's a lot more precise than a rough guide. The pacing is of the shots even matches up nearly beat-for-beat.

The fact that this scene changed so little even before the animatic, let alone the completed film, is impressive. Brad Bird has some great foresight.
Usually a story starts as a scripted dialogue with actions and such. After that it’s moved onto roughy storyboards. Then it’s a final revised storyboard which leads to an animatic of the story to help with the layout of backrounds and characters. After the animatic is approved animators will use concept sheets along with the animatic to visualize that scene in rough 3d or 2d animation. Then (according to the style of animation) goes through clean up work. Backrounds are constructed or drawn and if it’s 2d then inking and paint is started. After that all you have to do it edit and sync visual scenes with music and dialogue and boom. You have a movie. Simple as that hahah Jk it’s a long stressful process. And there is way more into it then what I just explained, what i said is just the basics.
I like how in the full version, they made Ego's kid-self more like an everyday kid than the same way as he looked today. It hints at his life being more than merely one-note hatred, and rather more like a life full of passion gone sour. Wonderful, truly. Kudos on the deal of whoever made that choice.
Very possible and the fact that ratatouille is considered a “peasant dish” and that’s what he eats as a child kinda hints his family wasn’t exactly rolling in dough as a kid but it can be simple foods that remind us of where we came from and happy memories.
But it also tells why Anton Ego became a food critic. He reviews because of the love and happiness his mother’s food gave him as a child which inspired him to go into that profession but over time got dulled until he tasted Remy’s food which reignited that same passion.
Both cooks put love into their food. Anton’s mother put in the love for her son, and Remy put in the love for the art of cooking. Anton had never seen another chef do that in so long, that’s why it reminded him of his mother.
Best scene. He asked for 'perspective' and he got it. And the camera zooms out of the eye, just like perspective, and he writes a review that gives a introspective perspective on himself. Certainly a theme.
This is one of my favorite scenes in any of Pixar's films. From a glimpse of Ego's childhood to his beautifully written speech, it shows the recurring motif on how the sense of taste can be a powerful thing. If this were any other animation studio, those scenes could easily be dumbed down and explain how Ego felt after taking that bite, but that's the magic of Pixar. They don't tell, but rather show. "I will be returning to Gusteau's soon, hungry for more." Exactly how I feel about Pixar in general.
This is the most emotionally resonant moment in any Pixar movie, for me. That universal feeling of yearning for the past. I can feel it in the way Anton sits stock still- this food has made him happier than he has been in a very, very long time. Just a delightfully, quietly produced, beautiful scene. Nothing bombastic, just raw emotion. Because that's all this scene needed.
I watched this Movie for the First Time when I was 5 and this Scene was always the Scene that sticked the Most of me. The Flashback to his Childhood when his Mother Served him the Food give me tears every time I‘m seeing it
I studied animation but the one class I really enjoyed other than animation was storyboarding. A quick way to get your scene blocked out and see how your timing works. One form of production some don't understand how much of an impact it is to see the pacing of the story.
Hey quick psa: a *lot* of the comments are about how Remy is the rat and ego is the critic and that’s because the title used to be remy’s first bite or something so if you’re confused that’s what was up
Not usually a fan of "poetic" types of speeches in film, but this one is always a joy for me to watch. Makes me feel happy. I love remembering this quote when I criticize something: "In the grand scheme of things, the average piece of 'junk' is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so."
He's not a villain or antagonist, he's just a guy who's really passionate about good food, which is why he has such high standards. He may not have liked Gusteau's, but that was because the previous version of Gusteau's failed to live up to his expectations, for good reason. And when he does have a good meal (like Remy's ratatouille), he is more than happy to sing its praises.
There's actually a fan theory that the old woman at the beginning of the film is Anton Ego's mother. Short summary of the theory goes like this: The old woman wore pink like Anton's mother in the flashback, and she clearly had experience in cooking, hence how Remy was able to learn from her cookbooks. It's believed that given the flashback we get from Anton's childhood, he is so critical of other cooks because no one in his mind will ever be better than his mother. So, when Anton eats Remy's food, it reminds him of his mother who probably is too old to cook anymore, and it brings an additional meaning of the phrase "just like mom used to make."

0:52 there's just *so* many expressions going on in the chef's face that it's hard to explain, yet they beautifully tell how he feels about the dish This is something that live actions will never top
Yes. I kept thinking this as I watched it tonight. Such a beautiful idea. “Anyone can cook”. Everyone needs to eat, but food is also an art form. A particular art form that touches the final sense. The intimacy of taste that cannot be shared unless you literally bring it into your body. Food, nourishment, cooking, is literally the art form that we will die without. The art that gives us life.
Calling or comparing someone to a rat is supposed to be a deserved insult. In this movie's case however, it's whoever the world deems as undesirable. It can fit into any group of people who were considered the rejects of society. Those who were unlucky. Yet, it shows that no matter how much the world put you under with all the trash and abandons you like waste... You can rise above it. You can be better. You have grand unseen potential, just waiting to be awakened. You only have to stop and savor the flavors around you.

I just realized this one clip probably has more insight into Ego as a character then ever before. The perspective thing is insight into a cook doing everything to make a good dish for everyone and that dish reminds him of his mother cooking Ratatouille. Which given the brief mention of it being a “peasant dish” and we see Ego eating it as a kid hints that he didn’t grow up with a lot of money and had humble beginnings like many chefs and food critics today. As well as perspective that food can sometimes be an escape and remind us of happier times like Pumpkin Rolls always remind me of my late grandfather.
This movie is by far my favourite pixar animation. Changed quite a lot of my preferences when it comes to Storytelling, animation, artstyle and most important of all... emotion.
Hands down one of the best animated movies of all time. I think many of us didnt need to look at the bottom screen because this scene is quite monumental and vivid in our memories.
I could watch the entire movie in older sketches One of the best movies and just comes to show the emotion driven by the characters helps so much with selling the story
Beautiful, powerful, and relatable without dialogue (close to a full minute) at the beginning. Anton's soliloquy is one of the best representations and rebukes of professional critics that I have ever seen!
Ratatouille is my favorite Disney-Pixar movie ever. Ego´s critic/monologue is one of the best movie monologues in history and i know every word in spanish.
Pixar movies are those movies In which we see ourselves In recent toy story movie shows that the world is big we limited ourself in a imaginary boundary
When I was young kid and this movie had recently came out, this scene in particular made me feel confused and strange, and I didn’t understand exactly some of the words that Ego was saying in his critique of the restaurant, now when I rewatch this movie on some occasions, I now am able to see how powerful it is! For me Ratatouille, Wall.E and Up are the best of Pixar.
This scene was and always will be one of my favorite from Pixar. It captures what Ego feels at the very moment very well and possibly what anyone with a shred of humanity would feel.
This movie was my childhood, and looking back on it now with the actual brain power to understand it, I enjoy it even more. It may not be Pixar's flashiest or most famous, but I think it's one that really comes from the heart.
What i love is when Ego said "Surprise me" they did with a very simple and ordinary dish..they didn't go for some 5 star speciality to impress..and that is why he was impressed.
This speech was written by brad Bird. So beautiful and insightful. In many ways, Pixar takes many risks and license with revolutionary ideas, but not every idea is accepted positively. I'm thankful that the new is often protected based on the trust people have gained in Pixar.
Really great seeing the storyboards with the final scene.And I liked how they decided to show the face of Ego's mother when she was just a shadow in the storyboard. It adds more warmth to the scene, but it's interesting to see what was originally planned out.
Brad Bird is such an excellent director, and this scene and it's makers are nothing short of the finest artists in animation movie history. I will be rewatching Ratatouille more frequently, hungry for more. That final speech that Ego gives, by the way, is honestly one of , if not, my favourite line I've ever heard from an animated film or any in general. It's so powerful to hear as I often find myself in Ego's position at times. It's humbling, inspiring, and downright beautifully worded and intellectually driven.
I find it interesting that the storyboard has his mother in shadow. A vaguely feminine silhouette that we just KNOW is a caring figure to him, in this long forgotten memory.
Ratatouille are one of my favorite disney/pixar movie along with wall-e, nemo, monster inc, toy story1-4 bring back a lot of memories from childhood :’)
Ratatouille (the actual dish) Is a french dish with stewd vegetables. Originally it was not placed in a fancy circle with different coloring vegetables layered on top of each other the authentic version is actually just a bowl of stew like we see in Ego's childhood.
this scene is so beautiful and captures the movie so beautifully. it gives me goosebumps and the moment he drops the pen sends shivers down my spine. it was my favorite movie as a kid and growing up i keep coming back to it and this scene is just so good. the score really pulls it all together. as always, well done pixar. well done.

There are many food critics in real life or films, some are from Michelin, some aren't. So far, Anton Ego is my favorite well-known food critic, the second critic being in the Japanese drama, Grand Maison Tokyo(starring Kimura Takuya and Suzuki Kyoka): Marie Clair editor and food critic, Miss Linda Machiko Richard(Tominiga Ai) . Both Ego and Linda are critics that plan to destroy a restaurant, but reformed after eating a specific dish, and even retired from the food business.
I think the frame of ego putting the rattatouile in his mouth with the fork upside was a great decision change from the animatic because it makes him way more elegant.... he doesn't use forks in the normal peasant way like everyone else, he's distinguished
Seriously most movies would never do this, but this reminds you that art can come from anywhere, and it exists in a world of negativity. Until one day that artist gives someone something that brought him happiness. That’s something that people struggle till this day. But here it’s something wonderful.
When I watched this movie when I was a kid, it just entertained me. I recently watched it again and it made me cry because of how beautiful the message was and how beautiful the whole movie was too. It's just so poetic was you look at the details.
I'd like to think that the Rat is just a metaphor for someone that comes from a place where it is so lowly and near-impossible to have a talent in fine cooking, and yet, are able to produce such a high cuisine worthy of recognition.. The rats that helped Remy was his lower-status friends, and the way Remy controls Linguini's head is how Remy tutored him, but in vain due to his lack of skills in cooking. That's why it's very meaningful to us, because as Ego said "Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere". Splendid.
Ratatouille is one of the best Pixar movies ever made
Masterpiece
It's definitely in my Top 5 and Top 10 Favorite Pixar films
Like French movie but good one
*The best Pixar movie ever made

Ratatouille is my favorite Disney-Pixar movie ever. Ego´s critic/monologue is one of the best movie monologues in history and i know every word in spanish.
It's akin to Up's first 20 minute or so scene. Beautiful part of the movie.
Remy...? That's the food critic!
Ego is the food critics name
Remy was the rat 😂
Pixar be starting to forget the characters names
My favorite moment in almost any movie. I had no idea what to expect before Ego took that bite. It was perfect.
Pixar movies are those movies
In which we see ourselves
In recent toy story movie shows that the world is big we limited ourself in a imaginary boundary
I love Ego's monologue. It's one of the main reason why I always return to ratatouille.
When I was young kid and this movie had recently came out, this scene in particular made me feel confused and strange, and I didn’t understand exactly some of the words that Ego was saying in his critique of the restaurant, now when I rewatch this movie on some occasions, I now am able to see how powerful it is! For me Ratatouille, Wall.E and Up are the best of Pixar.
This scene was and always will be one of my favorite from Pixar. It captures what Ego feels at the very moment very well and possibly what anyone with a shred of humanity would feel.
This movie was my childhood, and looking back on it now with the actual brain power to understand it, I enjoy it even more. It may not be Pixar's flashiest or most famous, but I think it's one that really comes from the heart.
A powerful and beautiful scene that makes Ratatouille a true masterpiece.
Thank you for reminding me how extraordinary this film is and how much I need to watch it again.
I just rewatched it yesterday. Worth it!
Pixar is the only movie company where you can watch every movie and have nostalgia every time you watch the movies.
I LOVE YOU PIXAR!!!
Sadly in this day and age, Pixar has lost the magic..
What i love is when Ego said "Surprise me" they did with a very simple and ordinary dish..they didn't go for some 5 star speciality to impress..and that is why he was impressed.
This speech was written by brad Bird. So beautiful and insightful. In many ways, Pixar takes many risks and license with revolutionary ideas, but not every idea is accepted positively. I'm thankful that the new is often protected based on the trust people have gained in Pixar.
Really great seeing the storyboards with the final scene.And I liked how they decided to show the face of Ego's mother when she was just a shadow in the storyboard. It adds more warmth to the scene, but it's interesting to see what was originally planned out.
Brad Bird is such an excellent director, and this scene and it's makers are nothing short of the finest artists in animation movie history.
I will be rewatching Ratatouille more frequently, hungry for more.
That final speech that Ego gives, by the way, is honestly one of , if not, my favourite line I've ever heard from an animated film or any in general. It's so powerful to hear as I often find myself in Ego's position at times. It's humbling, inspiring, and downright beautifully worded and intellectually driven.
I find it interesting that the storyboard has his mother in shadow. A vaguely feminine silhouette that we just KNOW is a caring figure to him, in this long forgotten memory.
Ratatouille are one of my favorite disney/pixar movie along with wall-e, nemo, monster inc, toy story1-4 bring back a lot of memories from childhood :’)
Ratatouille (the actual dish) Is a french dish with stewd vegetables. Originally it was not placed in a fancy circle with different coloring vegetables layered on top of each other the authentic version is actually just a bowl of stew like we see in Ego's childhood.
*This is clickbait,*
*Where is Remy's Bite?*
*All I see is Ego’s bite..*
@@u__u7 yeah mann !
this scene is so beautiful and captures the movie so beautifully. it gives me goosebumps and the moment he drops the pen sends shivers down my spine. it was my favorite movie as a kid and growing up i keep coming back to it and this scene is just so good. the score really pulls it all together. as always, well done pixar. well done.
1:22 I wanna cry. He's so cute and sweet 😭😭
“The new needs friends” beautiful quote
This film was my childhood favorite i love you Pixar you’re the best Disney animation company along with blue sky studios
Nothing beats the memory of a mother's or grandmother's cooking! Specially if they've passed away and you know you'll never taste it again
Legends say that Gordon Ramsay shut down this restaurant for insanitary purposes.
@Rozthomas Anonuevo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He got nostalgia...
Ain’t that how we fell looking back at Pixar and Disney?
Imagine if Gordon Ramsey was in Ratatouille.
@@Adrianzo Why do I need to reword my comment?

SHUT IT DOWN! SHUT THIS D I S G U S T I N G PLACE DOWN!
Not only my favorite Pixar movie, one of my favorite endings of all movies.
This scene makes me cry every time.
Anton Ego is my favorite Disney villain-ish.
Mine is Shego froms KimPossible
Milhouse, I think Auto beats Anton.
Milhouse Ursula is pretty cool too
This part was truly beautiful.
“Just like mom used to make...”
There is actually a fan theory that the old woman at the beginning of the film is actually Anton Ego's mother. Short summary of the theory goes like this: The old woman was wearing pink like Anton's mother in the flashback, and she had experience in cooking, which was how Remy was able to learn from her cookbooks. It's believed that given the flashback we get from Anton's childhood, he is so critical of other cooks because no one in his mind will ever be better than his mother. So, when Anton eats Remy's food, it reminds him of his mother who probably is too old to cook anymore, and it brings an additional meaning of the phrase "just like mom used to make."
This scene has so much emotion and meaning when you really break it down. No wonder it's one of my favorite movies
There are many food critics in real life or films, some are from Michelin, some aren't. So far, Anton Ego is my favorite well-known food critic, the second critic being in the Japanese drama, Grand Maison Tokyo(starring Kimura Takuya and Suzuki Kyoka): Marie Clair editor and food critic, Miss Linda Machiko Richard(Tominiga Ai) . Both Ego and Linda are critics that plan to destroy a restaurant, but reformed after eating a specific dish, and even retired from the food business.
this scene is so powerful, always gives me the goosebumps, completely winning over the "villain" in an instant
This was so heartwarming when I first watched it. Ratatouille was a masterpiece of its time.
I remember the first time I saw this film and this scene blew me away. It is absolutely beautiful.
More movies like this please
This was a masterpiece
I think the frame of ego putting the rattatouile in his mouth with the fork upside was a great decision change from the animatic because it makes him way more elegant.... he doesn't use forks in the normal peasant way like everyone else, he's distinguished
0:57 *WHO COOKED THE RATATOUILLE? I DEMAND TO KNOW!*
Ernesto Chacon *Rats stops cooking and stares at him*
Ego's mother cooking is equivalent to a rat
@milk 고양이 which is equivalent to a rat
A wierd concept became one of the best pixar movies ever😩🔥🔥🔥
I can watch this movie over and over again. Pixar movies are always unique.
Still to this day my favourite Pixar film.
Same! Wall-e is my 2nd favorite!
Same omg
Seriously most movies would never do this, but this reminds you that art can come from anywhere, and it exists in a world of negativity. Until one day that artist gives someone something that brought him happiness. That’s something that people struggle till this day. But here it’s something wonderful.
Truly one of the best Pixar movies out there ♥It's very comforting and I just love it.
When I watched this movie when I was a kid, it just entertained me. I recently watched it again and it made me cry because of how beautiful the message was and how beautiful the whole movie was too. It's just so poetic was you look at the details.
One of my favorite scenes in a movie
I'd like to think that the Rat is just a metaphor for someone that comes from a place where it is so lowly and near-impossible to have a talent in fine cooking, and yet, are able to produce such a high cuisine worthy of recognition.. The rats that helped Remy was his lower-status friends, and the way Remy controls Linguini's head is how Remy tutored him, but in vain due to his lack of skills in cooking. That's why it's very meaningful to us, because as Ego said "Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere". Splendid.
I think you've got it absolutely spot on
An artist can come from anywhere
Van Gogh
Paul o'grady
Johnny Vegas
Elvis
Top gear trio
The list goes on
1:32 when I hear my parents fighting upstairs and decide to stay put downstairs til stuff cools down
This scene has some of my favorite acting in all of animation. Skinner's reaction is priceless
I loved this movie so much
It Brought me back to my childhood
Incredible scene the stunned look on his face as he drops the pen on the floor alot of emotion and that scene loved it
This movie motivated me to follow my dreams to become a chef. Now thats my aim.
THANK YOU PIXAR for not making the video 'for kids' so we can all talk about how amazing this whole movie is!
How can this be so heart warming?
Ugh, Disney Pixar movies can be just so fantastic and emotionally captivating. I hope they come out with more original stuff that’s at this level
0:30 on the original drawing ego is right handed as a child but in the finished movie ego is left handed as a child and adult
ConnorTheGreatAsian I guess they changed it since things from an animatic aren’t the same in the final project
i love the critic’s voice in this movie
