another easy to miss detail: one of Ego's lines is "if I don't like it, I don't swallow" and throughout the movie, he's shown as almost uncomfortably underweight, but at the very end when you see him in Remy's restaurant, he's noticeably heavier because he's actually *eating* that food

[@shadowstar8619]

That definitely explains the comment Linguini shoots at Ego during the press conference, and it makes the impact of Remy's dish that much more meaningful in how he's at a much healthier weight by the end. That's what I call Fridge Brilliance.

Ratatouille 2:The Black Plague

[@timesnewlogan2032]

*Fun Trivia:* -Showing devotion to art, one of the animators actually jumped in a pool while wearing a chef's outfit, so they could animate it properly. -To make sure things were as accurate as possible, Pixar brought in Thomas Keller, the greatest chef in America and one of the greatest in the world, to help with the film. The producer interned at his restaurant, The French Laundry, and asked Keller how he would prepare ratatouille if the biggest food critic in the world were to visit his restaurant. Keller invented the version seen in the film, his own version of a variant known as "confit byaldi." -Colette mentions having had to work extra hard to reach her position because she's a woman. This is a sad fact of the industry, particularly in France. Yet as soon as Ego sees her, he assumes she's the one who prepared the dish... because the greatest chef he ever knew was his mother.

I also love how Ego in the end is less emaciated and more fattened. "If I don't like it, I don't swallow." He likes everything Remy makes and never liked anything from any other restaurant before, hence his near-statved physique. It's a perfect echo of his entire outlook on life. Once you criticize everything, there's no enjoyment anymore but now that his entire worldview has been shattered by Remy's reveal, suddenly he's far happier and more fulfilled. Instead of critiquing everything in life he now enjoys everything in it.

[@Lee-ss8yj]

Another win: Remys movements, when he is on all four, is so much like a rat. Same with his ears twitching, nose moving, his fast breathe and his tail. I only noticed this after owning rats myself, he just straight up has characteristics like some of my boys. So many movies with animals as a main character don't take into account how these animals move so it was actually so amazing to see a movie focusing on little behaviours that real rats do

[@moonbased7796]

I assume that the animators studied some rats and mice so they can accurately depict how mice and rats move and act since when Disney did the Lion King (particularly the first movie but I think they did the same thing with the sequel) the animators studied real lions in Africa when they were animating the Lion King so I don’t think it’s far fetched that Pixar studied some rats and mice for this film! :) Edit- I also want to say the same thing with Bluesky with their movie “Rio” because I own a cockatiel and a macaw at home and the way the birds move and act is pretty accurate on how real birds act (like flying, squawking, and walking) is on point ya know?

Also I struggle to pinpoint where hte restaurant is supposed to be: it obviously has to be close by 1st arrondissement, because Remi can just walk to view the Eiffel tower and the Seine (name of the river). However these kind of restaurants and buildings would be more akin to the Quartier Latin and the Rue Sufflot nieghbourhood (near the Senate and Luxemburg Parc). But that's miles away from the Eiffel tower. I guess he just took some transportation means. Pardon my ramblings, it feels very weird to see your city depicted in animation ^^

One of the things I like about the dish Ratatouille in the context of this film is that its represents the theme (which is why I think the title suits it well, plus the pun). Ratatouille is not some fancy, high-end dish, its a stew-type meal that "peasants" make (hence the cut to the French countryside, this is something they probably had all the time). But despite this the Ratatouille that Remi makes is still delicious and something new. Much like Remi, the dish comes from humble origins, but can still become something special.

I've never been so offended when you said that ratatouille is a soup lmao. Although the movie version isn't quite the real recipe it's still near the real deal.

[@vinnievegasYT]

Well, what Rémy cooks in the movie is a tian : still authentic Provencal cuisine. I'm pretty sure the video was calling ratatouille a soup in jest... Or maybe provocation.

Agreed, Ratatouille is a vegetables only ragout or stew in English. Not a soup.

[@Chronocrits]

I also had a confused reaction to the soup declaration 😂 I was under the impression it was a stew, or a loose vegetable casserole. Thanks for clearing that up.

[@healerofthewaters6508]

This movie always brings me to tears because it helped spark my love for cooking in the kitchen with my family as a child. The scene with young Ego taking a taste of that Ratatouille reminds me of every time I eat my mom's cooking. I get taken back to days when I was sick in bed and my mom would take care of me, giving me oatmeal, toast sticks, and sweet cold tea made by my grandpa. This movie makes me smile and reminds me of just how much I love my mom. We watched it a lot when it first came out and it's one of our favorites. It's also one of the few movies I never grow tired of and feel personally connected to.

[@turma8eac]

Man, I love this movie. Ego’s Flashback is one of my favorite scenes in all of cinema. Huh, for some reason I always thought that he had been beaten up while riding his bike, maybe cause at that time I was beaten up a lot at school.

50 sins to CinemaWins for not even mentioning "Le Festin"

[@Krwzprtt]

"Ratatouille is a soup" Me, a frenchman : SO YOU HAVE CHOSEN DEATH (It's a stew, not a soup. You don't liquify the vegetables to make ratatouille.) As for the accents? It's all around not perfect, but there are some good basics from Janeane Garofalo and Ian Holm (especially the latter). Garofalo mostly misses the french R (which actually sounds like the scottish/welsh CH and is pretty much NEVER skipped. Holm gets it right, however), but most of her vowels are good, and most importantly she has one of the big basics of french pronunciation that most shitty movie french "accents" don't get : french isn't accentuated. You pronounce every syllable and word in a sentence with the same level of tone.

[@zelieranquet3390]

I was going to comment the same thing (especially about ratatouille being a soup, HOW DARE HE), but you've done it better than I could ever have!

[@davidmhh9977]

To be fair, I find a lot of French people tend to gravitate towards an English accent, the more they learn the language, since that's the closest English speaking nation. To me, Janeane Garofalo sounds like a French person trying to mimic an English accent, but still has most of her French accent, which would explain things like why her R is slightly off. I only lived in France for half a year, and am far from an expert in the language, but I find the accent pretty convincing, and appreciate that she doesn't try to be too exaggerated.

[@antoinedenis9922]

@@davidmhh9977 well in France english class tend to make us learn Britain english not the american one so we usually go for this accent but for me and as some on my friend who learned english it's 95% based on video games,series,movie, american video so i have an american accent it really depends on where you learned your english i guess.

[@shadowstar8619]

I have noticed that there are some who say her character sounds more like French-Canadian than actually *French,* so that could be a good reason for her accent.

You and Schaffrilas put into words everything I love about Ratatouille! When I was growing up, my dad and I always had a vegetable garden, and every summer we would watch Ratatouille and make it with the vegetables we had grown. I think that's why the scene where Ego remembers his childhood has always hit so hard for me.

[@cartershaw7207]

I think when Anton Ego flashes back to that memory he is not remembering how his mom cooked ratatouille but more of the moment where he decides that he loves food and Remy's cooking reminds him of why he started critiquing.

[@etaraikatetau9556]

I believe that the old grannies house at the beginning of the movie, and Anton’s nostalgic childhood memory of his mother’s cooking and home, ARE THE SAME.

Someone asked an animator if the old lady is Ego's mom and they said it's not true and they were just reusing assets.

[@theratinyourgarage6856]

A missed win (hard to spot) that I absolutely love is that in the flashback scene the house is the same as the one in the beginning, implying that Remy lived with Ergo's mom (the grandmother with a shotgun) and learned to cook for her books at the beginning of the movie.

[@Entarra]

Except that was just re-used as a time-save and no actual connection was intended.

[@AndorRadnai]

@@Entarra Which I prefer, as it takes away from Remy‘s gut feeling choosing the winning dish.

[@davidw.2791]

@@AndorRadnai I’ve always thought that even if Granny Is Mrs Ego was true, Remy still displayed personal genius by BAKING the ratatouille instead of boiling/stewing it (Even tho as OP points out, this probably makes it stop being Ratatouille at all), because he has his Reasons to do so to make Ego FEEL like a carefree child enjoying food again, and not about replicating Mom’s Cooking per se.

[@michaelrumsey7932]

Idk if anyone has mentioned this yet but in the scenes with the strawberry and cheese tasting the animator Michel Gange has synesthesia (most often associated with seeing music but in this case seeing taste) and based the art on what he was tasting which was then handed to the composer to make music from that art. In my opinion this is filmmaking working on all cylinders to make one perfect experience!

[@tanisman777]

if you ever wondered why egos mom has not only a shotgun (and a lot of ammo) but a gas mask, this movie is set around the 1960, and seeing that she could be around 70 years old, it means she lived through WWII and the nazi ocuppied france (seeing how close she lives to Paris)
