Ratatouille is one of my favorite childhood movies. This movie shows friendship can come in all shapes and sizes. It shows that you never know who you'll fall in love with, and most of all it shows you to follow your dreams and find inspiration despite what everyone (mostly your family) says to you.
@Marnie_C9 ай бұрын
I've made ratatouille many times, both the traditional version and the one shown in the movie. Normal ratatouille is just a vegetable stew, its just chopped up veggies simmered in a vegetable broth (I normally use a bell pepper puree). The one shown in the movie is a special type called Confit byaldi, instead of the veggies simmered in broth, they're shingled in a patterned and then steam/simmered in the oven covered. The sauce I normally use is a bell pepper sauce and the veggies I use are eggplant, tomato, yellow squash, and zucchini

I grew up eating some (americanized) french food because my mom lived in France for about 10 years. Ratatouille was one of my favorites. She adds parmesan cheese; really kicks it up a notch. I also loved jambon berre (ham and butter sandwich on baguette bread) and aligot (cheesy mashed potatoes).

As an amateur household cook, I admit that I had to reread your comment a few times to understand what was the similarity between the two types of Ratatouille you described. From what I gather, they are both vegetable stews; however, the traditional is simmered in a broth whereas the other one is steamed-simmered while covered inside the oven

As one of your French regular watcher, I'm really glad you watched this movie. It is a great representation of the importance of cuisine in our country. The dish "Ratatouille" is a combinaison of fresh vegetable cut and roasted or boiled, with courgettes (zucchini), aubergines (eggplant), tomatoes, garlic, onions and peppers. It comes from the South of France and is very healthy and light, but still filling. The reason Colette is so surprised by Rémy's choice to make a ratatouille is that it is a very traditional dish rarely seen in Grand Restaurants, but more often in homes made by parents or grand-parents for family meals.

There's so much *heart* in it, and it's got some banger lines. "Change *is* nature, and it starts when we decide" is probably one of my favorite lines of the whole film, but I actually have "your only limit is your soul" as part of a larger tattoo piece on my back. Like that's how much of an impression this film has made on me over the years. I'm so, so glad you both love it as much as you do. Thank you for this one.

2 fun facts about this movie: first rats don’t have a gag reflex so when Remy runs by the soup and almost vomits the soup was so bad that it broke the laws of nature. Second when Linguini and Remy and trying to figure out how to get Linguini to cook and he bits him multiple times, when they get caught in the walk in refrigerator and Linguini turns the lights out, if you turn the brightness up all the way you can see Linguini grab Remi and put him in the chefs hat on his head.

It seems several Disney people moved to Skydance (John Lasseter, Alan Menken, the guy who directed Zootopia whose name I don't know).
