Funnily enough, I’ve recently come to see Ratatouille as a critique of big corporations and a celebration of smaller creators, something that’s become a lot more relevant in recent years with the rise of independent animation and studios. Ratatouille was ahead of its time, that’s for sure.
Well, even Pixar were Disney's underdogs for awhile. Until they started to pump out better movies than the House of Mouse itself, such as The Incredibles, Monsters Inc and Up. Then Disney reacquired them whilst allowing them to operate outside of the main department. In other words, a sub-animation studio within a massive conglomerate of animation departments like Blue Sky before it shut down.
5:13 I don’t think the review killed Gusteau. Even as a kid, I just assumed he had some sort of heart disease that killed him. It just happened to be soon after Anton Ego’s review. I highly doubt Ego thought “Ah, yes, this review shall KILL him.” Ratatouille has always been a more grounded film, and I don’t think someone as content as Gusteau would literally die of disappointment just because one person didn’t like his food. That’s just my interpretation, though. The movie keeps it sort of vague.
I thought that the review sent him into a depression that deteriorated his health which is what happens when people say that someone "died of a broken heart"
@@BubaielFun fact actually: you actually can die of broken heart! It's called broken heart syndrome, it happens when the heart muscle gets so stressed it weakens making the person suffering from it very vulnerable. Many people have died from it, if you express great grief or stress it can weaken it and in turn become life threatening.
@@AlpiineSnowGriffin Huh. I legitimately didn’t know that. Thanks for the new perspective. Still, I highly doubt that Anton Ego wrote the review thinking “Ah, yes, this review shall KILL him.” I also still think it was more than likely some kind of disease he died from around the same time. One more thing I wanted to say: I’ve seen a lot of people call Anton Ego one of the villains, but I’m like…is he, though? Like, yes, he’s a snobby food critic, and it’s thematically appropriate to have a pedantic critic be the antagonist to the dreamer, outside-the-box protagonist, but Ego gets over his snobbish ways by the end of the movie. He also doesn’t really do anything remotely bad, aside from being blamed for Gusteau’s death, which we don’t even know if he’s actually responsible for that. Besides, the movie already had a villain in the form of Skinner. I know that had nothing to do with what you said, but I wanted to bring this into discussion because I feel like these aspects of the movie aren’t analyzed quite enough. Gusteau’s death and Ego’s character, I mean.
Linguini and skinner height represents there true power over the restraint, skinner is intimidating but short (little true power) while linguini in timid but tall (lot of power) and until linguini meets remi hes slouching only after does he stand up straight
I Agree with that! He Definitely Fits into the Role of an Oppressive Imperialist Tyrant Pretty well when it comes to the Context of him and his Associates Exploiting the Labour of the Ants for Resources and to have Complete Hegemony over the Ants from a Revolutionary Left-Wing Perspective!
@@Vin499 but when u think about it... didnt he call the health inspector to save the resturant, or even shut it down if needed, only to be kidnapped. Oh, also, Remy basically enslaved the protagonist for his own benefit, and then stole a lot of stuff
@@ItsCommonPlace no, no, and nope, you're thinking very wrongly here. skinner lost his position at the restaurant after being found out. he calls the restaurant as a revenge and to shut the place down remy gives plenty of benefit to linguini. mutual trust is barely considered enslavement. remy got a dream job, linguini changed his whole life remy technically gets paid and is capable of feeding his massive rat family while linguini runs his own restaurant which anton ego himself loved
To be fair, the french became TOO democratic, since deriving too much power simply from the will of the most people is a recipe for tyranny. Even in a country that is largely made up of the same ethnicity, language, etc, they have been very politically unstable since 1789, with even relatively long lasting establishments like the fifth french republic being an incredibly divisive place, and it looks like they are on the verge of the SIXTH french republic.
I can't Believe you Mentioned Albert Camus and Antonio Gramsci, two of them are Brilliant Individuals who Criticised Oppressive Societies, Especially Capitalism!

That's something Brad Bird is very proud of, I'm sure.

Don't fret tho it's a rare condition, but it can happen! You have to get very very veerry stressed for it to happen.

New video idea, How to write an insane villain
Who this insane villain is
@ flowey?
But we’re talkin movies
@@Breeaaad welp, idk
@@Temans_the_temleton neither do I know hmmmmm
Gousteau: represents democratic values
Skinner: is a mini-dictator to contrast
Linguini: is literally the rightful King trope
He and Remy are the Pixar versions of Tom & Jerry.
They might even have similar height ratios. Anybody interested in science-ing this out?
This guy searches a gif for every word he says and just puts the first result that shows up

He could've just called an exterminator. Lol
Dude, you popped up on my for you page just 3 days ago, and i absolutely love you. I've watched all your videos and can't get enough!
Great video, but why do you keep referring to Colette as Nicole?
Probably farm engagement
I love your videos, I've binged all your videos
3:40 did you intend to put a Pisa, Italy photo when talking about Paris, France? 😂
The editing is so fast lol, its tough to follow the video so i needed to tab out and just listen. Great script though ive been loving your videos
RIP Ian Holm.
14:38 Uh, why are you using clips of The Lion King remake?
4:35 you should've said "Before he had the chance to squeak" cuz he's a rat and he squeaks
Great analysis. Although I see Skinner as more of a "comedic villain". But both can work. He is comedic and tyrannical.
why do i get the feelinng that skinner is a stand in for bob iger.
I noticed you got another character's name wrong. First Gene, now Colette.
Oh I'd love to see an analysis of Silco from Arcane!
Can you make a video about Mother Gothel?
Fr!! I would love to see that!
I think chef Skinner could have been a great sales man
Great analysis!
How to write a broken villain
0:06 Albert who now?
3:40 wrong country
Can you analyze the writing of the antagonists of Sonic Movie 3?
how to not do a thumbnail
hopper from bugs life is a better tyrannical villain.bugs life itself is kinda mid but hopper is so much better imo.
I Agree with that! He Definitely Fits into the Role of an Oppressive Imperialist Tyrant Pretty well when it comes to the Context of him and his Associates Exploiting the Labour of the Ants for Resources and to have Complete Hegemony over the Ants from a Revolutionary Left-Wing Perspective!
Both Skinner and Hopper are good villains
@@SamPerry-f5g Indeed, I Agree!
Can you make a video of the villain William Afton please
Actually... have any of u watched the film theory on this? cus... this guy actually doesnt seem like a bad guy... at all
He tried to steal the protagonist's inheritance and wanted to enslave remy

Miss the suit, but a good essay nonetheless.
Is there a video on how to write manipulative villains?
Nicole that's Colette
Can you make a video about a corrupted villain?

Albert Camus is pronounced
al - buht ka - moo
My French exchange student pronounces it more like al-bear ka-moo
love the vid, but ITS ALBERT KA-MOO not kay-mus
sorry that one just hurt to hear
This script seems… inhuman. Like it reiterates a lot and feels like something from ChatGPT
