"Anyone can cook."
"Except Linguini"
He is one we do not allow in the kitchen
You missed the point entirely. Not anyone can cook, but a great cook can come from anywhere
@@ebox147 and you missed the fact that it was a joke
He can, he just sucks at it.
@@ransseslopez they never said that you gotta be good at it to cook
You forgot mention after Anton Ego eats Remy's dish you see color on his face. Every scene we see him in he's pale and cold. But after eating the ratatouille he looks alive like all the color came back from whence he was a child.
At the end of the movie we see how much fatter he has gotten since he finnaly enjoys their food.
@@XBunnybladeX I didn't notice that
@@XBunnybladeX not to mention he appreciates Remmy even though he's a rat.
One thing that I really appreciate about that scene are the earth bounding expressions on Ego's face. The moment after he drops his pen, we see him smile for the first time in the film; sure, he has smiled in cold blood at times, but in this scene, we can actually tell that he is happy. When he finds out that Remy is the one who prepared the meal, he has a combination between defeated and lost for words on his face, like his entire world has been turned upside down.
About colors, every Remy related scene has a blue-red color scheme and Lingüini green-red also, yellow is only used at the intense moments of the film
fun fact: ratatouille was considered a peasant dish, which makes ego's story alot more sad, he BECAME so egotistical because of his past and only let that egotistical side down after reliving all of the good memories from that time
522 likes and no comments, this is unreal.
Also great fact btw, I did not catch that on first watch.
@@ZmaniacSuperRealOmgsadly hate speech is a crime
I think that is really beautiful in a way though. We get to see someone who is stuck in the past, who believes very few few few people can make something that satisfy him, and that he will go as far as destroying peoples lives to maintain his ego. Obviously this isn't beautiful and almost evil in a way, definitely a worth antagonist! The turning point for him, is tasting a piece of his childhood when his mom making him a simple dish. He rethinks his whole career. He drops the notion that there is way more skilled, unappreciated talent out in the world to find. He drops his "ego" to explore food and enjoy it. Believing that, although not everyone can cook, you can find people who can REALLY cook in the most odd places. This is true of all mediums, sports, art, programming, just change the word "cook" to your craft. This is such an amazing movie, for all types of people, a wonderful uplifting story with a satisfying conclusion.
I’m sorry but anyone who watched the movie and didn’t understand this wasn’t paying attention
@@AK-jt9gx Apologies for not being aware of a very specific cultural connotation of a French dish I guess
I feel like the scene where all the chefs walk out after Linguini exposes Remi to them isn’t talked about enough. Of course because it’s Disney and all, you expect that the chefs are going to embrace Remi or at least come around eventually, but they don’t. They just look at Linguini like he’s crazy and then walk out never to be seen again because that’s how any normal person would react to finding out that their leader is being controlled by a rat. It’s such a real and organic scene that you don’t see often in animated movies. As a kid it took me a while to understand why they reacted that way.
I always interpreted that scene in a different way. Yes they leave him partially because of how crazy he sounds, but the sadness on their faces in that scene shows that it’s not just that that makes them leave, it’s the fact that this whole time, linguini wasn’t a skilled chef and wasn’t the one making the food, it was Remy. Which makes them disappointed. They put all their trust into him, only to find out he wasn’t the great cook they all thought
@@captaineli2461 the first guy to hand his coat to Linguini has tears in his eyes
@@davidnissim589And thats the tough as nails guy who did time. Damn.
Because Pixar is NOT Disney. They're owned by them but they're their own studio, which is why their films are always real and human. (Toy story, monsters inc, the incredibles etc)
@@user-sk3jk9el5s If memory serves, The Incredibles was made during the very brief period when Pixar broke free from Disney, before they were near-immediately bought by them again. I've always wondered if that's the reason why The Incredibles is so unflinchingly adult and dark.
Imagine how insecure linguini has to be to say " Its not much " TO A RAT
to be fair the rat is basically a gourmet chef
he’s a millennial
@@nicoledeveraux4322 😂
As a kid I tried to recreate that one scene where Remy tasted a strawberry and cheese and colors were spiraling in the background, I did that by shoving a big strawberry and a chunk of cheese down my mouth only to end up choking and vomiting
Oh no 😂
you should try cacao pizza
Well at least you tried
Try chips and chocolate
I did that with various fruits and cheeses like apples and blue cheese or strawberry and brie
16:36 To add onto this, even if Remy DID want to break the language barrier, he can't. Because it was shown earlier in the movie, when the old lady was trying to shoot him and Emile, he was clearly yelling to Emile, but to a human like the old lady, his yelling was just a bunch of squeaks
he's referring to it being an easy decision to commit to to make it so that it is possible for remy to speak, not saying that remy could easily speak
it's pretty cool that the movie shows clearly that he cant speak though instead of leaving it to imagination that the rats are dumb for not talking
@@cyan.6399 Oh! Sorry for the misunderstanding ^ ^'
Something I noticed when Colette waits at the stop light and turn to the shop with Gusteau's book on display "Anyone can cook", she also looks at herself in the reflection of the window and remembers how to talented she is to be cooking in the male dominated kitchen.
This is when she when she truly recognizes Remy for what he is, not a rat but a cook. An artist.
I never picked up on that before. Thanks!
Damn! Now this masterpiece needs a rewatch!
WAIT OMG UR RIGHT
Didn't ask + Toy Story is Superior🤣
@@dkijmdude408? You can’t agree with any other movies? That’s sad man
Animation being a genre is like books being a genre. They’re not.
Ikr? Books are an art form as well. Writing is a form of art, and writing itself has it's own genres. A book can br about detectives, a book can be for cooking, it can be a magazine. Same with animation
Hey Schaff, what's your opinion on the Oral Storytelling G E N R E.
It’s a medium or form not a genre
I wouldn't go as far to say that it's an art medium of it's own, but it's certainly a "sub-minimum" and still an art form.
I’d argue that you’re half right. A better comparison would be picture books being a genre. Sure they’re mostly kids book, but not all are so easily put in a box.
Fun fact about the latin spanish dub version of the movie, Remi's voice and his father are son and father in the real life.
That's really cool. I love it when relatives are cast together like that.
mjangelvortex Reminds me of the dance with Rowley in diary of a wimpy kid
Cute!
that's adorable!
And they're also rats
I unironically love the chase scene. It supports my theory that Skinner or whatever his name is is just having a mental deconstruction and doing drugs
That’s the point lol. He is progressively going insane throughout the film
Skinner on crack is in't real he can't hurt you: skinner on crack
I really like the way linguini became a waiter that skates at the end. His entire character is that he's not good at anything other than being a rat's puppet, but when the scene happened it showed that even him have something that only he can do.
Additionally the film kinda smartly shows him learning those skills to become a good waiter. Firstly the montage it showed he actually has some knowledge of skating but beyond that the whole film remi puppet inf him did sorta train his body to be able to do quick movements, work fast and multitask
I would say that Skinner is important to the movie for one reason: he's the antithesis to Remy. Throughout the movie, humans are assosciated with creating, while rats are assosciated with stealing; Remy is a rat that wants to create, Skinner is a human that does nothing but leech off of others' talent and success. Honestly, my biggest problem is that he and Remy didn't have a bigger confrontation when Skinner captured him, but you can't really have that when you've established that rats can't talk to humans in this world. I think it was important for the movie to have Skinner capture Remy to really show the contrast between their characters, and how Skinner is so much of a rat, by the movie's standard, that he is now going to leech off of an actual rat.
Also I feel the scene where he was captured was important to parallel how Remy was in a cage of his own creation but also a creation of how society views him. If it weren't for being in an actual cage I don't think him realising what he had to do would be tied up so neatly. When Gusteau says he's only as free as Remy is while he's not only in a literal cage but also in the metaphorical cage of the emotional climax of the conflict it really hits the audience, in my opinion. If Remy had just been emotionally sad but then picked himself up I feel we would lack a real catalytic event for that change.
Also, I just really enjoy that scene in general.
This is amazing, I never understood this but it’s brilliant
Skinner is the biggest rat.
That’s such a good observation holy hell
@@yoanna7505 Well, to be fair it wasn't my observation; I long while ago, I watched another youtuber make that observation in a video, and it stuck with me^^;
Saying animation is a genre is like saying live action is a genre
TRUE
It drives me nuts
live action is a genre
It's basically the same as labeling yo gaba gaba as American sniper.
@@thesentientmicrowave7664 LMAO
Another thing I love about ratatouille is that it never got a sequel. It has an amazing conclusion that does not need to be continued. The story closed off and that's it. No continuation, and that's satisfying.
it has a small childrens educational movie about rats
@@petratenjoyer and monsters inc. is a children's movie about monsters under your bed and yet it got 2 sequels, your point?
@@Whitechaidamn hella rude to the above comment for a simple statement 😭😭😭😭
@@WhitechaiTf was the point of this comment
Wrong reply
An excellent little detail is how Remy washes his hands in the soup scene and when all rats take over the kitchen there's a scene of rats getting steam cleaned. Being critters in the kitchen the animators chose to still show importance of cleanliness

I interpreted the pen drop as him having no words to describe what exactly he's feeling about what he just ate. A man who made his entire career from using his words as weapons is now left with nothing to say. He has no words for how he's feeling, it's a feeling he can't possibly describe in the way that he can describe the criticism he became so egotistical over.
Yeah that’s what I thought too. Why would the pen represent his ego
@@Vader-gt6yc Because the pen is the means through which he best expressed his ego! It could easily be both. Being at a loss for words is a high vulnerability, and ego hates vulnerability.
everythingilikerules yeah the pen can be interpreted any way you want, but I thought it was a weird one
@Gaming Jellyfish There's a theory going around that Ego's mom is the old lady from the beginning
Or just "disarmed".
Pen mightier than the sword, or something.
Ego always struck me as a very lonely man. To see him find connection at the end of the film, knowing he’s a regular, seeing him take life in…
His arc is so poignant.
it makes you realize even the real villains in life like bezo's or boebert aren't irredeemable. it also ties in that greed is the poison that promises to cure all. it's when we drop our ego, when we drop the necessity to be bigger than we are, the need to puff ourselves up, that's when we find connection with others, when we see ourselves and our story in the stories of others, when we can let the world carry on without our plans, without our opinions, without our desires. there, we find all that we lost, and the magic once again.
In light of the horrible news I wanted to share my personal experience with this video. This is the first video of Schaffrillas I ever watched and still occasionally rewatch. I had thrown out my lower back pretty severely at the beginning of February 2021. Even when downing painkillers I couldn't move much at all or else the nerves around my spine would flare up into a spiders' web of agony. It was the first time in my life I've yelled out of sheer pain and felt so pathetic.
So for the next two weeks I was basically trapped on my bed, the only thing I could do to pass the time was watch old DVD's and CZcams through my Nintendo Switch. Upon finding this video in my recommended, I replayed it at least 5 more times during the remainder of my recovery. It's one of the few coverages of a movie that I feel does an excellent job of explaining why I like it without stating the obvious while still being entertaining in its' own right consistently.
Every time I revisit this video at night, a part of me is reminded of those terrible nights spent with brief moments of relief. So now I find myself back here, the situation is the other way around. Other than this story, I can only return my condolences and the hope that things will heal enough after all the suffering.
Whatever happens, take care.
dude I hope you recovered quickly and fully! Having an injury that bad can really fuck with you but if you manage to get through it you (in my experience) get to enjoy doing normal things because you know how bad it is without them.
This was a wonderful read. I hope your recovery went alright. I know how painful and long-during back injuries can be. I bruised my lower-back almost a year ago and it still hurts or sits uncomfortably on the daily
I've broke my arms and legs a couple of times over the year (I'm clumsy as hell.) It's nowhere close to what you've experienced, but it was still hell to live through, so I can sympathize with you to some degree. Never give up, hope you recover.
In light of what news?
@@itstricezi James AKA Schaffrillas got in a horrible accident with his brother Patrick and best friend Chris when this comment was posted.

@@anormalguy9320 And so do I.
"Why would Linguini be in your will?"
"This use to be my office."
"That doesn't answer the question."
I'm pretty certain thats the point. Think about it. Chef Gusto is a figment of his imagination. He wouldn't have the answers any more than Remy would. So instead he just parrots back what he already knows, rather than answering the question. If his imagination wasn't personified by the image of Gusto, then his response would be, "I don't know." But because its in the image of Gusto, I'd also be weird for him to say something like, "I don't know." So instead he avoids the question all together and says something that has nothing to do with the situation but is also something that Remy already figured out in the first place. Its weird but it makes sense.
Ooooh that makes sense.
@@thecolorpurple6401: I have to say, I love your name tag.
Good sir, I do believe that you deserve "Reddit Gold" for your explanation.
Yeah thats what I thought; combined with the fact that, in that same scene, both Remy and Gusto are shocked to find out that Linguinie wad Gusto's son. Gus didnt know since Remy also had no idea
exactly what I was gonna say
The fact that the bee movie came out the same year as ratatouille is crazy, the animation in ratatouille is so genuinely timeless whereas the bee movie just screams late 2000s movie
What also proved to me that Ego definitely changed his mind about Gusto's vision : he always expects and demands complex cuisine from the restaurants he judges, but Remy managed to amaze him with one of the most simple dish possible, a ratatouille. A dish anyone can cook
on a wider note, coming on 29, it reminds me of the times i was young and amazed by the pond skeeters, by the weird catapillers, by the strange grasses and the rusted old playground equipment at the old camp my family used to have family reunions at.
as we get older, we tend to become unsatisfied by all of these fancy things, caught up in status and power, and forgetting that we once had none of that, yet had the funnest and most meaningful days of our lives. there are many adults like ego, who are sucked into this dreary world of pessimism, who forget the magic of when they were young and unconcerned with power and status. those moments where we are reminded by innocence and curiosity, were we can forget this ugly world and be in that wonderful world of discovery and joy. the beginning of the end of that is money. think of money the same way you think of the slavers whip and chains.
Something i'd like to add that might make that moment when Ego eats the Ratatouille even more amazing.
If you remember from earlier in the film, as Colette is teaching Linguini how to cook
she berates him and says
"You think cooking is a cute job, like mommy in the kitchen?"
then ends with her stating "Every second counts and you CANNOT BE MOMMY"
and yet when Ego took a bite he was instantly flung back to the time when he was a kid eating a meal that was made, just the way mother use to make it.
Of all the meals he ate in his career, the type of meal that satisfied Ego was one made in a way that most chiefs won't even consider making.
this makes my heart feel warm and fuzzy
IKR same
Something made with love and care, just like momma used to make, will always induce more feelings than something made according to rules, guidelines and a business commitee. Remember that as we all enter our adult lives. Don't let go of your inner child
Its such a real and inspired cinematic moment
From an emotional standpoint, sure. Otherwise, that's a bit biased so a big no from me.

I think the bit with Skinner keep coming back after getting kicked out, and trying to make the chefs’ lives a living hell is actually pretty realistic. Not all antagonists are gonna just give up after losing everything. They’re gonna wanna snoop around and sabotage other people’s success.
This is a little personal, but this point of the movie with Skinner reminds me almost a hundred percent of my abusive dad. My dad has this toxic egotistical nature and would flex all the stuff he really didn’t rightfully earned. A wife, a big house during a stock market crash, four kids, a new expensive car (he even liked that car more than his wife and kids), etc. But after my family and I steps up to him and gives him the boot, he doesn’t stay away. As we speak, he’s currently monitoring my sisters and I’s CZcams channel despite there being a restraining order against him. He keeps dragging us into court to get his revenge, and even sends his friends to stock us in public. He won’t give up because we embarrassed him. We took away his “life of luxury” and now he has nothing. He can’t live off of us for financial gain like he did before, and that angers him.
And because of that, he wants revenge, and vows to ruin our happiness. Just like Skinner is with Lenguini and the chefs.
Hey, I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling with this. I really hope things are improving for you.
Hello 👋 I wanted to tell you that this comment makes me feel so much less alone. I grew up without a father but had a step dad for the bigger portion of my teenage years who flexed his money and materials. Though he is not abusive I can relate to the “being dragged to court as revenge” as my biological father has done that a series of times as well. I wanted to express a thank you for making me feel less alone and wanted to tell you that you arent alone either. I know (though I can’t relate to your exact situation) how difficult it can be to deal with those horrible situations and you aren’t alone.
I really like how Colette softens up on Linguini after he takes uses and validates her advice. She’s probably used to men not taking her advice because she’s a woman in a very male dominated area and it was clearly very meaningful to her that Linguini did.
This economic theater kid really knows his stuff.
Knows more then me

I like your profile pic
I always found Anton Ego’s joke about how chef Gusteau is going down in history alongside Chef Boyardee to be fascinating, because although it is framed like Ego insulting Gusteau, if you look it up this is EXACTLY the case! Chef Hector Boyardee (Ettore Boiardi) was a well known, respected chef from the late 1910’s until around 1940. At one point he served a dinner to the president alongside some 2000 world war 1 veterans, and later catered president Woodrow Wilson’s wedding. I heard somewhere that he did a lot to help his hometown and gave away excess product to the poor, though I cannot find anything that mentions this online. He ended up selling his brand and likeness to International Home Foods to make ends meet, and now all he is remembered for is cheap canned pasta, which is exactly what Skinner was in the process of doing to Gusteau’s legacy when Ego made the joke!
edit:
Revisiting this 2 years later, I should qualify that while the facts of the story above are not wrong (so far as I am aware), the way I worded and presented them strongly reflects my own feelings on the matter. I don’t disagree with the opinionated elements, they’re my own opinion after all, but I would encourage those who find themselves interested not only in the connection but in the actual history to look for a more fact-based reading before forming their own opinions.
Jeremy Rotenberg that’s so sad :( what the heck
I mean, that might be true, but I still love some Chef Boyardee sometimes! :)
Wow, considering I used to throw up chef boyardee at school because of the undigestibility of it, knowing the story of the real guy is really sad. :(
You might say this comment is food for thought.
But in honesty, the story of Chef Boyardee is really sad and I'm glad this comment lets people know more about what happened.
Wow I didn’t know that, thank you very much for the information. It is very interesting to learn about it.
I find it fascinating that the movie title is simultaneously:
1. A pun (because haha *rat*atouille)
2. A prime example of Chekhov's gun (and I love that the dish is not even mentioned until the end + it's literally what resolves the conflict)
It’s also
3. A thematically symbolic title- ratatouille in and outside the film is described as a “peasant dish”, something low class and not fit for the standards of high class food/art, but nonetheless it can still be made into something truly great just as how remy is nothing but “a low class rodent” but is able to make truly great art
i put this on and did my final french project of the semester worth a lot of my grade, i then received an A*. i can now confirm hearing praises about a little french rat who can cook for an hour does indeed get you a good grade.

Sometimes I would like to think Remy is the smart kid in the project and Linguini is the kid that can talk.
That's a great way to picture it
Remy is the really smart deaf kid and Linguini is the kind soul who though not too smart will do anything to get the product finished, so he learns how to sign and tries to communicate with his partner
I dunno... Linguini’s only job is to speak and be human and he couldn’t even do that properly half the time #sociallyawkward
That's literally the whole movie
@@ignorant1126 THAT'S SO WHOLESOME THO
i love how ratatouille gives more than 3 characters personalities, they give the entire kitchen, remy's family and even some of emile's friends
The fact that the story keeps going is so incredibly accurate to my feelings about the movie. When I was 7 I had seen this movie at least an actual 10 times and I loved it, but I always always forgot that the movie didn't just end at the part where linguene and collete kiss. I always thought "The rat got to cook and the guy got the girl, the end" but it doesn't end, it goes on for a long time. And yet it still doesn't feel like it's grueling or should be over at that point, it still has you wanting more, and that's something that I think is cool about Brad Bird's movies.
I personaly really dislike these "anyone can follow their dreams" concepts. I don't think that hope and motivation is bad but i feel that it should be presented in a more realistic way. Even in this movie what they show is essentially Remy winning the lottery. My dream is to be a well respected professional singer. But this dream is pretty unrealistic and very luck based. What's much more likely to happen is that i learn how to professionally sing and just become a vocal coach.
@@sashka9399 I think you misunderstood the message of this film. This movie isn't trying to tell you "everyone can cook" (everyone can achieve their dream), it's telling you that "great cooking can come from anywhere" (don't judge a book by it's cover and don't limit yourself to the expectations laid upon you). I mean, they didn't even get to keep the Gusteau restaurant open because of the rat infestation, which was Remy's original dream, however because Remy chose to chase his passion for cooking he ended up opening his own restaurant so if anything this film encourages the watcher to put in the work and appreciate any success your talent and work earn you - after all - doing what you're good at and inspiring others is the highest reward you can achieve if you're chasing passion. If you're in it for the money and fame then sell out and start investing, this movie wasn't intended for you.
@@YolaroozXD i see both of your points, and think their valid to a certain extent. yes, there are often things that happen to us or are a result of our actions that we can't really expect, and we should be open to the possibilities of new avenues of growth. that being said, growth can and often does slow down, and while you can keep doing things to foster health and optimism, you got to understand that realism is the ally of optimism, not the enemy of it. the possibilities for growth as you point out, tend to happen when our original dreams don't work out, and we have to adjust. that adjustment can sometimes be painful, or exhilarating in it's own ways, but life goes on, becomes boring once again, and we have to figure out other things.
while we all will chase passion, or growth or joy at one point or another in our lives, sometimes it's the quiet moments that let you breathe.
I love the Ratatouille scene so much
Ratatouille was established as a “peasants dish”. Something small and insignificant. Yet after Remy let’s go of his ego, he decides it’s the best dish to make for the acclaimed and cold critic. He doesn’t make something big and bold and difficult but instead makes a dish with his heart in it.
Everyone looks at it with skepticism, believing it was foolish to do so, because they believe Ego is above such a lowly meal. Skinner, Colette, and Ego all thought it was crazy.
“Ratatouille? But it’s a peasants dish”
“Ratatouille? He must be joking!”
But when Ego takes a bite, he’s transported back.
He forgets his wealth, his status, and his ego and just remembers a time where he loved food. Where his passion for food began.
Where *he* began.
And he finds a love for food again. A love of praising the good instead of tearing everyone down. Color returns to his face, as does his smile he lost long ago.
It’s truly poetic and I adore it so much.
Ratatouille it’s the perspective Ego wanted from the chef, and Remy wholeheartedly answered, he is not ashamed to be rat anymore, a symbolism representing poor people; and now he simply wants to make a “peasant” meal, something humble but delicious and meaningful, Ego can’t help but relate to this message

This. This is pretty much exactly what I experienced in seeing that scene for the first time. Absolutely masterful storytelling. Love you how expressed a raw emotional moment so well with words.
It all adds up later when Remy says "Ego lost his job and credibility, but he's doing well as a small business investor and he's pretty happy"
The scene were Ego is a kid HURTS me, it makes me think of coming home to my grandma after being yelled at by my parents, where she would cook me beef stew and then we would have biscuits and coffee infront of the television together. I miss you grandma.
She sounds like a wonderful person, may she rest well.
Rest in peace grandma, you were an absolute legend
She’s in a better place now, Rest in peace.
RIP Gma
Wow man are ya ok?
The scene where Ego takes a bite of the Ratatouille is one of my favorite movie scenes of all time. Gives me chills every time.
I just realized Remy's heightened sense of taste is actually based a little bit in IRL logic, as the start of the film sets up that Remy can sniff out rat poison in the food everyone brings back, and our sense of smell has a big part in our sense of taste. Remy being able to enjoy tastes better than his rat brothers is likely due to his heightened sense of smell.
Anyone can cook.
Except for Linguini. Linguini sucks.
He a yandere dev lookin pleb
This comment is the equivalent to
"Go. Live your dream."
"I will."
"Your dream stinks. I was talking to her."
I get the joke you’re making, he can’t cook at all, but I just want to point out that the point wasn’t that everyone will be good at a talent or skill, just that those who do have potential come from anywhere and can be anyone. I love how you see Ego realize what he missed all along and how the main point can fly over your head before it’s pointed out by Collette and Ego.
I like that they showed he had skills elsewhere though. Like skating

If you are here after hearing about the accident, I just want to say that James has been an inspiration for the past couple of years. I have just rewatched this movie and it changed, or at least my view of it has changed. I now know what James meant by "It's for adults" This movie entertained by as a kid, but it blows me away as a man. I'm taking writing classes at my college, so desperately trying to horn in my craft. Like Remy, I have always had this burning passion for writing. Yet, I feel like I won't be able to fulfill my dreams. Like, for I wish to enter the world I don't belong in or know how to handle. But as Gusteau said, "You must not let anyone define your limits." ESPECIALLY yourself. "The only limit is your soul. Anyone can cook, but only the fearless can be great." Pure Poetry. Chris and Patrick will be remembered. My heart goes out to James and his family. I thank the trio for several years of amusement, knowledge, and inspiration.
Something I like is how while none of the Chefs besides Colette stayed, they didn't rat out Linguini and Remy either. In the flash forward where the restaurant is reopened under a new name, it's.. open. It wouldn't be hard for them to connect the dots and assume Remy is still doing the cooking. But they don't. They may not want to work under him, but they still respect his abilities as a chef.
I’m realizing now, Remi is so much skinnier and smaller than every other rat in his kingdom because he just doesn’t eat as much
That... actually makes a lot of sense
oh the irony
Like that main food critic (sorry i forgot the name) who says "I swallow only the food that I like...if i dont like what is cooked, I spit" (thats why he's so skinny- because he doesn't like most foods)
@@pheniellanz5271 He's picky because he wants to be a chef, and wont just eat everything.

an underrated element is that Linguine knocks the rat in the water and instead of just saying fck it whatever he actually dives into the water to get him showing how much of a good person Linguine actually is
He didnt have time to think fck it he jumped to save a rat with no hesitation and it was awesome😂

The fact that all the kitchen staff have shady as hell backgrounds is 100% accurate to the culinary world.

I'm actually now noticing a parallel between Mr. Incredible's and Anton Ego's mindsets. There's a part where Bob says "They keep coming up with new ways to celebrate mediocrity...", which I think perfectly illustrates Ego's disdain. As a food critic, he hates it when "sub-par" gets inflated to "fine art", which he believes is a serious insult to "real" fine art. Meanwhile, Bob is frustrated that the truly exceptional are being suppressed or removed and the mundane is being given false grandeur.
But really what *is* fine art anyway? Who gets to decide that? Art is such a subjective medium that everybody you ask will give you a different answer. So while it does makes sense, Ego's mindset is still arrogant as hell.

It makes sense when Remi asks Gusteau: "why would Linguini be filed with your will?", and Gusteau responds with "this used to be my office" because Gusteau is simply a figment of Remi's imagination, so of COURSE he wouldn't be able to give him new information, as he just tells Remi things he already knows! This is reiterated at the end of the movie when Remi is stuck in the rat cage after being captured by Skinner, and Remi says "you just tell me things I already know, I know who I am!"
Another addition to that whole thing would be when Remy found out that Linguini was Gusteau's son. He then wanted to know how and why Gusteau didn't know that, the chef's response being "I am a figment of your imagination. You did not know, how could I?" That'd show that the real Gusteau likely knew about Linguini being his son, but since Remy didn't know, his Gusteau didn't.
I like to think it's Gusteau's awkward avoidance of the question, because he's just not sure.
@hello_hell_knight thanks for noticing
I think there’s an aspect to this film that isn’t talked about enough is how realistic the ending is for a movie about a cooking rat. In school kids are being told that the sky is the limit and they can do anything they set their mind to. But the reality is that’s not true but that’s ok, you can achieve so much without changing the world. The ending to this film is how this would realistically end, I couldn’t imagine this film ending with Remy being a hero who changed the culinary universe and is accepted by all! In ratatouille the restaurant is shutdown and the world doesn’t recognise Remys talent, he’s not changed the world as we know it, but he changed a few peoples minds, he secretly cooks in a small restaurant where he’s thriving and Ego changed his outlook on life because of Remy’s cooking and ultimately helped achieve his dream by investing in the new business. It’s a happy ending yet it’s not a spectacle, it’s small, cozy, local yet hopeful.

Good on you man for creating through crisis and not giving up. First video of yours I've ever watched, most definitely won't be the last.
Since you mentioned the role of ego in the film, I'd say Skinner has a role in showing another form of ego, which is the one that comes from having inherited a seat of authority. Skinner feels that, as next in line after Gusteau, he alone can run the kitchen. As he finds more and more opposition to that idea, from Colette reminding him of the "Anyone can cook" motto to finding out about Remi's cooking talent, his ego feels challenged as his spot as head chef withers away. Even though he's already kicked out after the revelation of Gusteau's will, his ego STILL clings on to the point where he gets petty and resorts to using the health inspector and capturing Remi as a last resort to take his position back in Gusteau's. And yet still, Remi cooking the Ratatouille dish proved, without a doubt, that Skinner just can't beat actual cooking talent and Skinner has no place in Gusteau's.

I love that the way they “defeated Ego” was by serving him the most humble of meals. A “peasant dish” that reminds him of his mother’s cooking. The one thing he couldn’t possibly give a negative review. It was perfect.
Not only that but it hints at a tragedy behind Ego as well. Ego was a man who loved food, one who wanted to make it his life goal to immerse himself in the world of food and share it with others as a critic. But his passion turned into a business, and his name grew more famous. He went from one who wanted to explorer food to one who was expected to curate it, and his need to be taken seriously as a critic overshadowed his desire to authentically enjoy the passion he made his life's work. A lifetime of exposure to the negative aspects of the industry - the mediocrity, the pomp, the expectations of the public wanting blood - turned him jaded and cynical.
Ego is such a powerful character because he embodies the burnout and disappointment we all feel in the things we love a bit too much. Yet, like Ego, there periodically comes along something that reignites this love and strips away all pretense of weariness and judgment, and we are again humbled into fans.
also how it parallels the first lesson they learn "you can't be mommy"
Ian Nordin that’s so true! I absolutely love to cook but there are days where the kitchen is the absolute last place I want to be.
I don’t necessarily believe “ it you love what you do it’s never work “ but what I will say is if you truly love what you do you will never have it stop being a part of you. Even if you do get burnt out at times.
It's also directed at the critics of film too; definitely something almost reactionary to Cars perhaps?
I watched Ratatouille the other day, and his monologue/review at the end made me cry for some reason. I didn’t understand how amazing that humility behind the dish (and Linguini serving the food even though he was “supposed” to be this nebulous egocentric figure behind the closed doors of the kitchen) was when I was younger. As an adult, that movie spoke to me in a way the same way it spoke to this video’s creator. I get that the movie is a little bit of a meme but honestly, people really should appreciate how fucking awesome this movie is.
I also like that Gustau’s is shut down at the end by the health inspector. Like the other chefs, society at large was not ready or willing to accept a rat chef, even if even Ego did. Easier to change the hearts and minds of one or a few people than of a city, let alone world, and even then, one person is challenging.
I really liked that too and felt it made Ego's happy ending even more powerful. He loses his high standing as a critic after giving a glowing review to the restaurant, so he truly put everything on the line, and losing it all leaves him in a vastly happier place than when he started the movie.
Me too. Even as a kid I knew that it was sad that Remmy dosent get the recognition he deserves, but I knew that it would drive the movie into the mud if they let people just be like "ok I guess rats are gonNa cook for me now"
Or maybe it's because they literally kidnapped the health inspector.
49:10 That scene hits so hard. Especially the part where Colette was going to slap Linguini, but then didn't.🙁

I may be 3 years too late to make my case but here goes: @ 20:13 you compared Linguini to a puppet. I personally, among many others, instead classify Linguini as a Mecha. A Biological Mecha, to be exact.
See, a puppet is typically something with no actual autonomy (cases like Pinocchio don’t count as he was “given life” by a fairy, thus being an exception to the rule via magic).
Linguini very definitely exhibits sentience and independence without being piloted by Remi, and more importantly, a limited extent of control even when being piloted. This is a common Mecha trait, especially in anime. Take Voltron for instance, where the lions often act on their own.
Also, notice how, while a puppet would use a system more imprecise and akin to strings. Remy grips the hair much more like the thruster controls you’d find in, you guessed it, Mecha cockpits.
These are the main points but there are a couple more that I’ll speed through:
- Remy being much smaller than his Mecha
- Remy being enclosed in the hat in a sort of pseudo-cockpit style.
Thank you for your time

Schaff's Magnum Opus
My favorite part of the movie? It’s when at the end, during Ego’s review, we see Remy walking alone, neither going along with Linguini or his family. While in most films this would be seen as sad and lonely, here it’s uplifting and wonderful. One of the major conflicts Remy has is between being a chef and being a rat, and he struggles between the two the whole movie. But in this scene, after finally being able to actually cook at Gusteau’s, he no longer has that conflict. He’s finally at peace with himself. He’s not just a chef nor a rat, he’s Remy.
That part confused me, but what you're saying is starting to make sense
beautiful
Well said
I guess that explains why Linguini isn't in Kingdom hearts 3 and Remy teams up with Scrooge McDuck.

I just wanted to say that my dad was a certified chef for over 25 years, worked in fine dining and cafeterias, and eventually became a culinary instructor for 29 years helping aspiring chefs and cooks reach their dreams. When Ratatouille came out, my dad (who never seemed to enjoy "kids media") was in love. So much so that he actually showed the whole film in his class for several years. He eventually paired it down to the few scenes he thought would reach his students the most. He agrees that anyone can cook, that passion and drive and needed for art, and that art is so hard to create but so needed by humanity. Ratatouille reinvigorated his love for culinary arts and teaching. From Remy and Linguini to Gusteau and Anton Ego, he felt this film was criminally underrated and a master piece in the culinary world of films. He puts this up there with films like Jiro Dreams of Sushi, Eating Raoul, Tampopo, and Super Size Me and rightfully so. (ty dad for patiently explaining to me as a kid why this film was so good and re-watching it all the damn time so I could learn to love it too)
And I plan to send him this video, because even though I don't think he'll get all the fantastic humor, I got a bit choked up thinking about him while watching this. Ratatouille is an important film for my family because it's important to my dad. I hope he enjoys this as much as I did!
And, for the record? From a chef, his hands down favorite scene was when Colette was giving the other cook's backgrounds. He loses it every time he watches that scene because, and I quote, "I swear I worked with all those guys, and I /wish/ we'd had a Colette!"
Important question: Has he ever tried to MAKE Ratatouille I NEED to know
@@clownerycalamity right after he saw it for the first time with us, we rushed home and he made a quick grocery list before getting everything he needed.
And yes! He then made us ratatouille, told us about it, got distracted part way in talking about Anthony Bourdain, and then quizzed me and my sister about how long it would take for it to come out on home video :p
He's made it a few times since then too, and usually because he just rewatched the film!
I'm tearing up reading this, dunno why. Ty for sharing!
I love really love this comment. I wish you and your dad the best bro. Just brace yourself for the idiots who think everything's fake lol
I know this is a week old comment but I really just want to say that this is very wholsome thanks for sharing this story
Another one to add to the list of immensely satisfying Pixar scenes: Anton Ego readying his pen… The confidence and subtle flair of his routine, all-business “taking up of arms” is just a killer shot. I bet they were proud of that little animation.
The scene where Ego is taken back to his childhood home is to evoke a feeling to the audience that for once food is not just food but art. This art is so moving to Ego that he is sent back to his childhood home, a place where he was safe and cozy from the outside world. The art that was made in that kitchen made the most egotistical and powerful/cold critic feel, and that changed his perspective which is the point of art; to evoke an emotion that changes the way you perceive your life. He no longer feels he needs to prove this restaurant wrong as this is the only place that is not just a place to prepare food but something much more and no other place could replicate that which gives the restaurant an irrefutable reason to be 5 stars.
