I FINALLY Watched *RATATOUILLE* And It's One Of The BEST Pixar Movies

[@captainsplifford]

During the pandemic, some random people on Tik Tok wrote songs for an imagined "Ratatouille" musical...and some of the songs were so good that a bunch of Broadway actors decided to actually perform it. It was brilliant.

Fun Fact: Rats are physically incapable of gagging. So in the part where Remy runs by the soup, Linguini ruined it so much, that it broke the laws of physics! Also, I love this film. Truly Pixar's magnum opus, and a message of inspiration to any artist.

[@MellSayzHi]

God I love this movie. One thing I enjoy is that Collette tells Linguini to 'Not be mommy' and yet what gets to Ego is that Remy's cooking reminds him of his mother. Anton Egp is so interesting to me as a character, his speech about passion and criticism gets to me too

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

I've been to restaurants that served me food that reminded me of my mom's cooking :D it's a magical experience.

[@a.g.demada5263]

@@RedRoseSeptember22 I remember earing somewhere that food is excellent when it reminds us our mom's. Also, as a french, I can tell that Ego's flashback is what we called " une madeleine de Proust " meaning something (not only food) who reminds us our childhood

[@kennethcook9406]

The whole line is "Anyone can cook, but not everyone should." It takes a certain kind of dedication. It's why I'll always be a home chef, and never a restaurant chef. I can't cook good food under a time crunch, but I'll make you the best breakfast you've ever had, if I have enough time.

[@Jsalcedo23]

Well Ego says it best at the end… it’s not that anyone in the world can make a great cook, it’s that a great cook can come from anywhere.

[@Light-Rock97]

I was happy to see you picked up on the rat cam stuff instantly, the handheld style when Remmy is running on the ground and such. This movie is shot like a real movie, with "real" fake cameras. That's why Brad Bird is so well regarded in animation. He directed the crap out of these movies. Even the Iron Giant is very distinctly "shot' like a live action movie with real world "constraints".

[@Jsalcedo23]

My exact thoughts. The way it’s directed like if a camera is following Remy on those action shots is beautiful. Such a well directed film, not to mention the soundtrack is lovely as well.

[@sorathedragonmaster6123]

I love that the old lady was still shooting even though the rats were outside the house.😂

[@coyotelong4349]

I love how she was literally determined to chase them out of town to kill them

[@xorngoh7303]

The scene about Ego eating the Ratatouille and then being reminded of his mother has a very deep meaning. 1st the food reminded him of his mother's cooking. 2nd it also reminded Ego of why he loved food so much in the first place: His starting point, and why he became a food critic in the first place. It was probably to find food that has his mother's taste and flavours again. Or he came to love food so much because of his mother. As a grown Asian man that had married and moved out of my parents' house because I got a home of my own, I do still miss my mother's cooking sometimes. There are things from your youth you take for granted that as you get older, you start to miss them.

[@a.g.demada5263]

I had that idea too : food is considered as delicious when it reminds us our mother's cooking. By the way, what happened to him is what we call in France " une madeleine de Proust "

I love how skeptical Mell was at the beginning. I was like let it sit you’ll love it. And sure enough he enjoyed the heck out of this amazing movie.

[@kacperk6484]

You could have also said.. well.. Let him cook 😅

[@dragonson04]

The theory is that the old lady from the beginning is Ego's mom. It makes sense when you realize that Remy had access to her specific spice rack and favorite recipes that she would cook for herself. Remy had the exact knowledge to impress Ego, because he learned from Ego's own mother (in a roundabout sort of way).

[@kacperk6484]

I heard an "extended version" of this theory. The Old lady is also Gusteau's mother that makes Gusteau and Ego brothers. Gusteau was thought to be mother's favourite child. (Maybe that's why she's always watching Gusteau's tapes? It is the only physical memory left after her favourite son? I'll write about the reason later.) Both boys had passion for cooking but only Gusteau succeeded, maybe Ego didn't because he had low self-esteem because of childhood experiences? Ego decided not give up on food industry completely and decided to be a critic. When Gusteau's, a well known chef, learned that his brother is a well known food critic, he invited him to his restaurant to rate his food. Ego saw it as a chance for personal revenge for him being "the worse son", even though Gusteau was never aware of it, and rated the food badly no matter its actual quality what made Gusteau's restaurant loose a star. When Gusteau learned that the rating wasn't based on the food quality but on something from their childhood that he would react to and stand to his brother's side *if he only knew* and felt really sorry for his brother, Gusteau got depression or other bad psychic disorded and commited su1c1de. That made Ego think that he had no rational reason to be that harsh and unprofessional towards his brother, and because of mourning after his brother's death (maybe as a personal act of honouring him) he decided to be professional to the marrow what ended in him being a harsh critic pointing out even simpliest, smallest mistakes.

[@filipvadas7602]

Fun fact: Contrary to popular belief, rats are suprisingly clean animals as they groom and clean themselves multiple times a day and are less likely to transmit diseases and parasites that dogs and cats can.

This movie helped remind me about my love of cooking. It inspired me to get back into it after almost ten years of kinda not doing anything more expressive than cheap ramen and egg dishes. Don't get me wrong, I still do those even now, but now I am making them even more complex and trying to create new flavour profiles that I and everyone I feed will enjoy. And I owe it all to the end of the movie, with what everyone knows now as the Ratatouille Moment.

[@belpop]

We all had a moment where food brought you back. One day, my mom calls me over and tells me to try this rice she got from this restaurant, I ate some suddenly I was back in my abuela's little kitchen, and she was making her special rice, so good you'd clean out the pot. We had lost her the year before so it's what I needed

[@nicolasbaron4506]

Anton Ego's dialogue at the end is still amazing to this day.

[@TheFrugalVideoGamer]

Fun fact - Patton Oswalt got offered the voice for Remy after his description of KFC's Famous Bowls, as he was so descriptive in his takedown of it that the Director (I think) took notice. Edit: Apparently it was for Black Angus Steakhouse, and how weird their advertising has become - kzbin.info/www/bejne/oX7CqXegndCCi5Ysi=AYxn34fgGgaMnaxe - and yes, it was Brad Bird that loved his descriptiveness of the food.

It definitely makes everyone extremely happy when it’s on the table

[@lyndseystrait1513]

😂Seeing Mell's reactions to everything was fun & great commentary! The editing was both meme worthy & fitting. Btw, Mel if you haven't seen the theory, the Theorizer speculates that the old lady at the beginning of the movie was Ego's Mom who has been obsessed with Gusteau since he left her for a younger model (Linguine's Mom Renata) & Gusteau "died from a bad review" because the review came from his son Ego.

Fun fact : what Ego eats isn't the real ratatouille

[@keithartworker]

Brad Bird directed this movie. He was called in for an emergency rewrite and direction. It's a very interesting and a little sad behind the scenes.

[@bwilliams463]

I was really impressed with how the rats moved; I know the animators spent a great deal of time observing real rats, and it paid off. My favorite scene is the chaotic first time Remy finds his way into the restaurant's kitchen, and Emil coming to and checking himself over after the lightning incident is hilarious. And Anton Ego missed his mark trying to put down Gusteau for reminding him of Chef Boyardee; Hector Boyardee ('Boiardi') was a famous gourmet chef starting in the 1930s and well through the 1960s, though by then he was making most of his income off of pre-made Italian food.

[@billbill6094]

I think that's the point. Boyardee was a highly regarded chef reduced to a brand of cheap canned products just like they were doing to Gusteau. They even compared him to another famed chickeb maker in Colonel Sanders, who was renowned for his amazing fried chicken yet even he admitted KFC's chicken was bland as all hell.

[@bwilliams463]

@@billbill6094 Well, that's a possibility I hadn't thought of. Bear in mind, though, that Ego wrote that criticism before Gusteau died and Skinner started to mass-market his name on cheap imitations of the great chef's food.

Many chefs and people that have worked in restaurants regard this movie as one of, if not *the* most accurate portrayal of what it's like to work in a kitchen. Particularly the scene where Collette is teaching Linguine how to be a proper chef. One of the many reasons why Pixar's movies excel is because they research the hell out of the topics they're making movies on.
