"Not everyone can be a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere." I really like this line, because it feels very honest. Not everyone has the talent to be great at something, but greatness can come from the humblest and most unlikely of origins.

[@BoxOKittens]

I love the duality of Colette saying "You cannot be mommy!" about professional cooking, and then the ratatouille ends up reminding Ego of his mother's cooking.

[@SevenEllen]

"Just like how mother used to make it." ;-)

[@thades0001]

po man, there's a difference between you preparing a meal and serving several customers

[@MasterBuilderDragon]

There are some truly talented chefs out there, but I’ll gladly take my mom and dad’s famous steaks over a gourmet meal any day 😋

[@DaemonKeido]

@@MasterBuilderDragon Every meal I make, I try to replicate the feeling that came from eating my grandmother's cooking. If I can resurrect even the spectre of that feeling, I have done what I sought.

[@gurvmlk]

@@MasterBuilderDragon Maybe it's because taste buds can experience nostalgia, but the food of parents and grandparents will always be better than the finest 5-star cuisine. It doesn't even matter if the latter does happen to taste better. It still won't be better.

[@AshXXMayftw]

I like how in the end even though he couldn't become a great chef Linguini still found a position he was excellent in.

[@skiesc1606]

I just realised now that I'm rewatching this, Ratatouille is a peasants' dish as Colette says, and the fact that Remy has been in the old lady's house all along shows he probably's seen her cook too, which explains how he's able to sort of teach her to cook differently from the recipe - and trigger Ego's childhood memories. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, who knows. Edit : i like how you describe Ego having a method to his madness

[@mario_gabriel]

Actually there's a theory that says the old lady is Ego's mom, that would explain why Remi was able to bring Ego back to his childhood, by cooking like his mom used to do. I don't think it's true but it's an interesting idea.

[@Tooba-K123]

The old lady being Ego's mom just didn't feel fine to me. From the brief moment we saw in Ego's flashback is that his mother was quite a sweet lady but the old lady that we saw in beginning just doesn't seems that way.

[@mario_gabriel]

@@Tooba-K123 yeah that's exactly why I don't think it's the case, but you could also argue that in the flashback she seems sweet because that's how Ego remembers that moment. Besides, the place is very similar.

[@Tooba-K123]

@@mario_gabriel Well yeah we sure can argue that the place looks familiar but then again given Ego's personality, there's no way he'd remember his mother with so much tenderness had his mother been alive all along. Anyways I'm fine with both opinions but would surely go for the one that the old lady is not his mother.

[@skiesc1606]

@@mario_gabriel actually the director addressed this when people started noticing that. As nice as it would've been, Brad Bird said the deadline was closing in and since they had to build a lot of sets they just resorted to re-using them for the kitchen scenes.

In France, we called this " a Proust's madeleine " who speak about something who reminds us our childhood (in reference of the writer Marcel Proust who said the madeleines' odor is a childhood memory)

[@a.g.demada5263]

For people who didn't understand why Colette called 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.

[@arianaink100]

It’s also based with peasants harvested/grown ingredients. Tomatoes/zucchini/eggplants are vine grown and thrive off of sun exposure even zucchini flowers can be picked and eaten early in the year. For tomatoes and eggplants they’re a similar species you cut early growth to have better growth and fuller tastier harvest you also can snap away toxic leaves to help them grow taller and have potentially more flowers. The garlic and onions easily grow out of the ground from scraps/ root ends which you cut off of garlic and onions anyways when cooking. And both are perfect for pickling/year round- or as the fresh seasonable plant it is. The herbs are also casual beginner gardener/ plants that grow like weeds and people don’t even need to steal but can find wildly growing. Growing herbs at home is the easiest thing to do. It’s not just that it’s simple food not complex food science it’s also that all ingredients are local farm to table/backyard to table/always around and iconic or popular enough to be a few pennys because it’s grown right there locally and easily and cheaply. It’s food anyone can cook because anyone can afford it. It’s not high rate/Michelin because you can order it anywhere or get any grandma to cook it. It’s like going to a top restaurant and getting offered a tuna casserole/BLT. They could make a fancy version but you can order that anywhere. It’s hard to distinguish it and call it the best in town when it’s considered common and everywhere. Remmy steals food from gardens but not cooked bread that’s a product of handmade work and efforts by a baker. He steals ingredients and raw materials not the goods produced by others. To take from nature is natural and to use whatever you find around you in the dirt that’s edible and transforming it to taste good - not just good but refined and top shelf. Ego came from dirt and refined himself equating himself to wine. Remmy will always be a rat of the muck even if he refined himself his memory bite may be saffron on a mushroom struck by lighting. (The food you love is a result of time and place and those that were around you when you tasted that meal that made you happy beyond understanding) (Saffron harvested from wild plants that pop up at the very beginning of spring through the snow- and mushrooms which are biodegrades and eat dirt/fecal/decay. It’s the easiest things to find and wild - he gets saffron from a bottle but in the wild it’s common but hard to harvest you pick the whole flower to get a stem meaning the flowers can’t grow more seeds if you pick them early you ruin all future potential if you pick them too late they’re consumed by other wild animals. You have to time it right. For mushrooms you have to pick the right one not a poison one. For lighting you need a rare moment for the perfect strike.)

I can't wait to see your reaction to Ego's monologue at the end!!! Imo it's one of the best and definitely the most memorable

The animation in this is so detailed and I think a lot of Disney characters are also popping up in the background

[@ma.2089]

When remy laments ppl thinking he’s a rat, it’s a bit confusing. But I think I get it as everyone treats him “inferior” (tho what Linguine is saying is partially wrong, he’s also right. He didn’t know Remy wanted credit now, both are getting too caught up in the fame. And Colette is also a trained chef and Remy cant always be right), he’s like “fine I’ll act the way u want”. When Linguine treats him well again and apologizes for his behavior, Remy realizes he went too far & and feels bad for acting the way ppl thought he was. The movie being mostly about remy figuring out his identity and having trouble finding a compromise. What makes this film good is that it’s the rat part of remy that gives him his powerful nose that makes him a good cook as well. His background is integral to his success.

[@Angelicwings1]

This is a very nice way of putting it. As humans we are all shaped from our past as well for better or worse. Even if we choose to be different and break from it the fact is it still is part of us and influences us. It’s who we are. That’s why in sociology there is a lot of emphasis on such things. As you say I think Remy grows from his mistakes here and starts learning how to both be more than his circumstances and past but also embrace them and that it’s not a competition

[@YourMoonJoy]

For an animator he definitely needs to watch Atlantis the lost Empire, Aristocats (it looks a beautiful painting) and All dogs go to heaven.

@@isaywhateveriwantandyougot7421 1) I think that the artistic look of the film will hold some value to an animator. 2) It does have a story. A simplistic one, as it's mainly geared towards children, which is easy and enjoyable. While I love big, philosophical and cerebral stories, this isn't needed for every story out there, sometimes a simple adventure tale, with some fun music and enjoyable characters just works. Let's also not forget that its a pretty old movie.

So this movie is my favorite Pixar movie. In literally every way, the movie shines in terms of its relevance to real life, it’s comedy is so good, etc. I like how nobody in the film is innocent and perfect, and I like how no matter how many times I watch it it’s just as good as it was prior. Can’t say that for every Pixar movie. I once met the co-director for the film who came up with the concept. He’s a sweet guy. And while the movie didn’t go as he originally envisioned it after passing it off to the other co-director, he truly spent time making sure he was on the same page as Jan was. I also like the deleted scene which expands skinner and gusteau’s relationship. Both of them are wrong, and it makes the story even deeper than it was before. Ok enough gushing lol

[@さくら-l8t]

This movie really shows just how powerful food can be. It’s an important part of every person’s childhood/upbringing and can break through any emotional wall. Japanese food has a deep, special place in my heart since that’s what I grew up eating and is an important part of my identity. For the food critic, the Ratatouille was an important piece of his younger, happier days with his mom. Good tasting food can bring a smile to anyone’s face, but it’s the ones that can reach out to your emotions that really make you savor them.

[@Krax0n-]

whats so great about these movies is that they are literally timeless, you can enjoy them as a kid, being a great movie while taking it t face-value. However, you can appreciate them a lot more growing up for the messages they represent and how well said messages are being executed, as well as still being well-made movies.

There even was a little talk back at the time that Peter O'Toole should be considered for an Oscar for his voice acting of Anton Ego. Hearing him again, at least I have to say: he was so amazing acting the voice of Ego. There are amazing little shifts and intonations in there. ... Such a lovely movie.

[@rontheron4807]

A movie I’d really recommend, both for its animation and how interesting to discuss it is, is I Lost My Body! It was entirely done in blender, if NineTailsBrush knows the software he will know it’s an absolute prowess that it came out so amazingly good , and it’s such a fascinating watch , you can’t entirely see where it’s going yet it’s message hits to the core, really worth checking out even if you don’t record a reaction for it (it’s highly rated but has gone fairly unnoticed by the general public so it probably wouldn’t bring a very big audience )

[@serpentmaster1323]

I love Ego’s position in this movie as the final ‘villain’. Because it’s not Ego himself that is the villain, but his and society’s perception. Ego, Skinner, the main antagonist for of this movie is actually their disbelief that Linguini, and by some extent Remmy, can cook. We don’t need to see that they don’t beleive remmy can cook, we saw skinner outright order to kill him on sight, so instead linguini acts as a standin for society’s belief in remmy’s cooking skills. By overcoming egos perspective about gusteu’s restaurant and beliefs by getting him to understand it, the actual villain of the movie is overcome: the highest of society’s preconceived notions about fine cooks. Revealing remmy to ego is key here, because it removes Linguini as the stand in for the final confrontation. I think that’s why after remmy fighting so hard to bring the restaurant back it doesn’t feel as awful to me that it closed after. The restaurant was a means to change minds. Once those minds were changed, the restaurant had served its purpose.

[@BigTimeRusher312]

If you’re still on a stop motion kick I highly recommend Chicken Run

[@oliviastratton2169]

The beginning of this film reminds me of "The School Mouse" by Dick King-Smith. The protagonist is a mouse who learns how to read and uses her ability to save family members from eating rat poison. That book is a bit darker, because she's too late for some and others won't listen, so most of the mice end up dying. But the similar set up makes me wonder if anyone working on "Ratatouille" read it.

[@MangekyoFlower]

Holy shit, unlocking childhood memories for me. I read that book so many times as a kid

[@Billmaster115]

I love Pixar movies because they are so tied to reality, sometimes they’re bittersweet and maybe sad, but their messaging are always true. Ratatouille’s message is that everyone can achieve happiness when they choose to be morally ambitious even when it seems ridiculous, like a rat pursuing a career as a chef; defying society’s expectations and using your will to change reality. Ratatouille is an allegory for humanity; you can live as a rat and live off the scraps and success of others like the Head Chef Skinner, or you can be Remy and be ambitious, use your talents and skills to their fullest, change reality and pursue happiness and earn your pride. "Only the fearless can be great."

Ego's monologue in the end is something everybody should listen to

[@scarlettthorn109]

Omg I can’t wait to see your reaction to Ego he’s the best

[@brabbit736]

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.

[@neontyler6663]

Anton Ego said one of the beautiful thing I’ve ever heard in my life. This film is a timeless masterpiece.

[@zephloe]

The colors and shapes made when Remi eats food and summarises it was influenced by a man with synaesthesia. They had the man eat things the movie would show, and explain what colors and other senses got mixed in so that they could add these little visuals as he eats.

[@MonAhgasInsomniAroELF]

this is such a good movie, with a very heartwarming message. definitely among one of Pixar's best works imo. and personally, i especially love disney/pixar movies that don't include magic. they always feel a little more meaningful to me, having somewhat more realistic themes/challenges for the characters to face usually makes it so much more relatable. anyway as always, enjoyed your reaction and the unique perspectives you guys have! i would be interested to see your reaction to Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. i don't know much about animation personally, but apparently it was made with a hybridization of 2d and 3d, and it was considered quite impressive for its time (2002). i just always thought it was very pretty, the backgrounds especially, and watching the bts for it was cool since they explained just how painstaking the work was to animate it was, gave me a real appreciation for animators in general from a young age. it was one of my absolute favorite childhood movies. the soundtrack and score is pretty incredible too. (i'm really big on music in movies, especially the score. for me it's one of the most important aspects of a movie/tv show.)

[@AMerzz]

Not sure if you've ever seen Moon with Sam Rockwell, but it's an incredible watch especially if you're a film buff and want to make movies. The acting, direction, and writing is awesome. Highly recommend for the channel if you haven't seen!

I love how ego at the end it is reminded of where we came from by a simple dish made by simple chef(of the days when his mother would cook with love for him when he was sad) and that moment he was reminded of where he came from and the first time in years he simply enjoyed a meal without giving any critiques.

[@nugget3687]

My favorite detail is how ego orders not food, but "perspective" And the food they have him was so good, it gave him a new perspective on cooking. they gave him exactly what he ordered

[@nicodiangelo7051]

In my opinion i feel like this is the most adult Pixar film we’ve got. I’d argue it’s directed more towards adults rather than kids. Touched upon how it’s like as a young person shuffling between jobs, talking about cuisine and critics. I’m someone who debates a lot so this struck me. This movie has my favourite ever Pixar scene. I think you know which one it is.

[@Kotten84]

An animated movie I would recommend, not just because it's amazing, but also because of the animation style, which is absolutely stunning, is "The Tale of Princess Kaguya".

[@majkus]

One of the take-home messages from the film is attention to and appreciation of food ('Don't just hork it down'); when I went to the food court at the mall right after watching this film, it was a very different experience. Ego's flashback is a moment of cinematic perfection - perfection as in (per Amadeus) "displace one note and there would be diminishment, displace one phrase and the structure would fall."

[@madeleinereads]

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. My father always told us to never settle for anything mediocre regarding food. Food is always comforting, and it reminds me of home. Also, Linguini should have been a server from the start. He's so good at it!

[@Mrmapleleaffan13]

Fun fact: the actress who voiced Colette is American just had a amazing french accent for the film

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.

[@tric5122]

he didn't want to make the restaurant better, he just wanted to cash in on the name before the restaurant closed for good b/c there was no replacing the iconic chef.

They were right about the staff following the recipe and not experimenting with the food last moment. That is how you tank a restaurant fast. I believe they were trying to spotlight Remy as a genius by doing so, that he was that insanely good. And I honestly feel bad for Skinner. He worked hard, got a restaurant, and then had it taken away by accident of someone else’s birth. But that happens in life. You can’t be angry and vengeful. He was a spiteful little man who screwed himself over trying to screw Linguini back who didn’t even know what had happened. As they say, the problem with eye-for-eye is it leaves everyone blind. I don’t think the Hector Boiardi route of direct-to-store food was going to go far anyway. The real star (after Remy) turned out to be Ego. He tanked his career to defend Remy (though he’s rich so he was able to easily move on to restaurant investor). That article he wrote is my favorite part of the movie.

35:18 This style of presentation and preparation for Ratatouille was invented just for this movie by a professional chef who served as a culinary consultant for Pixar! It's called confit byaldi. The traditional method of making Ratatouille is a simple vegetable stew in a tomato-based sauce. It really is considered a "peasant dish" because it was a way to use vegetables grown at home or at least very inexpensive ones, and it doesn't usually have any meat because it was too pricey and/or the person making it couldn't put their own livestock in it. It was made with whatever vegetables the person had available, and substitutions are still common today. Most recipes have eggplant, tomato, and squashes, but again, other veggies are often added or substituted. Similar to gumbo from New Orleans, and pasta puttanesca from Italy, which are other "peasant dishes," it was a good way to maximize ingredients and make a very filling meal as economically as possible. It's also delicious!

In regards to stop motion animations, legend in stop motion animation is Ray Harryhausen. He was a master at mixing stop motion animation with live action. He made a movie about Sinbad the Pirate and the two greatest movies about mythology. The Sinbad movie he made is called the 7th voyage of Sinbad. The mythology movies are 1963 Jason and the Argonauts and 1981 Clash of the Titans. You should watch his movies.

Would love to see some of the animation work and film making by you guys.

It is an amusing movie and I liked it when it came out. But then a few years later when I found a rat in my pantry, I'm with the old lady in the start of it.

[@beeliliart3061]

you guys should definitely react to some of the ghibli movies!! my favorites are: when Marnie was there, howl's moving castle, kiki's delivery services and Ponyo.

I wish Ratatouille 2 was released on theaters June 13, 2014, and released on DVD & Blu-Ray October 15, 2014

OMG I need a video of you two cooking a ratatouille and tasting it ! 😁 Ratatouille is a dish from my childhood and i'm so nostalgic 'cause mine is not as good as my mom's one. 🥰 Fun fact : In the movie, the dish is not a Ratatouille but a Tian de légumes

[@austinmatney2108]

There's actually a theory that gusto had a rat under his hat himself which was renny's mom. That's why he says anyone can cook.

I said it once and I'll say it again - you guys are very interesting to watch; your reaction videos are fun and "different", in a way.

[@ElOroDelTigre]

different=good, of course

[@JulianoAJ]

Something i thought was pretty fun, as someone who loves animation myself, was to watch the Pixar shorts in sequence. it's pretty cool to see the progression of CGI.

[@Rodan_003]

Ya that kind of reminded me of the trailer for wocking with the dinosaurs when they pointed it on in class
