What's your favourite Pixar movie?

[@kaitlinvandenberg8202]

definitely gotta be coco, it made me cry so much but it was so good 😭 also FIRST! lol

[@finnmurphy6186]

Has to be UP, one of my favourite animated films of all time

[@heavysweet14]

My favorite is monsters inc

[@josephblumenberg6574]

Definitely Finding Nemo 😊

[@williamsmith5340]

I like your videos and you very cute

[@abelmulato8991]

Egos speech at the end is one of my favorite movie moments, man has a voice like silk.

[@mohammedashian8094]

The late great Peter o’toole Mr Lawrence of Arabia himself

[@charleslee8313]

This is my favorite Pixar movie. I'm glad that you're giving it a try. 9:02 -- fun fact: rats do not have a gag reflex. With that said, the soup that Linguini accidentally made was so bad, it made Remy gag. THAT is how bad it was.

[@christianwise637]

Food so bad it breaks the laws of biology

[@a.g.demada5263]

Even if rats don't have this reflex, I love when he does it.

[@courtneylovett8307]

Ego's speech at the end is the thesis for this movie. It's one of the best speeches and has one of my favorite quotes, "Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere."

[@idoltina]

You know how you have those films that you pick up on the days when you're feeling miserable? Angry or sad or sick? And putting them on means that by the end of them, you are no longer in a bad mood? Comfort films? This is in my top five favorite comfort films of all times. When I feel like absolute garbage, I put this on and it's an instant mood lifter. I've seen it so many times and I still cry. I cried even just watching it in pieces here. I'm SO glad you enjoyed it, it made my whole day. :)

[@loowsrhoo7780]

My comfort film is princess and the frog! When I suffered from cyclic vomiting syndrome I just binged a bunch of disney movie’s. Honestly, those are the best for me to watch when I’m sick just because the songs keep me feelin upbeat. So, I definitely get what you mean. 🙂

[@Cosmicweirdo96]

I remember seeing how to train your dragon after I threw up the night before and I was so immersed in the story, animation, characters and atmosphere that my grogginess instantly passed. Now it’s one of my top ten favourite films of all time so yeah

[@a.g.demada5263]

Me, I watched " The Rescuers " each times I was sick when I was a little girl

[@chandleralves698]

9:00 Rats are physically incapable of vomiting but the mere smell of the soup made Remy gag. This means Linguini is such a bad cook that the soup defied the laws of nature. 😂😂😂

[@chouquetteland]

I have an anecdote about old people and guns in France haha. So I grew up in French countryside and we used to go berry picking with my family to make ice cream and jam and stuff like that. One day we were on private property while foraging and some old person just got their rifle out and started shooting at our feet for us to scatter. I used to tell this story and laugh about it and now I realize it was maybe a bit extreme for two children picking berries from a hedge haha

[@nicsandnacs]

Wow 😳

[@anib8863]

An "You dang kids get off my property!" would've probably worked just fine.

[@LThompson59]

When Linguini is telling Colette about his problem, he says "I have this tiny..., little", notice her eyes drop down to his waist!

[@not_urgurlmel5207]

yea, I noticed that…. Never noticed it when I was a young kid when I watched it. Know that I realized that, I’m scarred….

[@matthewhutchinson9353]

HOLY SHIT I NEVER NOTICED THAT BEFORE LMFAO

[@thedarkside4610]

I love how subtle Pixar is with their adult jokes. I just enough to make the parents laugh but not enough so that the kids get it. 😂😂😂😂

[@hgman3920]

Not only one of my favorite Pixar movies, but one of my all-time favorite movies in any category

[@wrustria]

I legitimately watched this movie about 100x as a child and rewatching as an adult is such a different experience. It really is an incredibly well crafted movie

[@masonjenks7636]

This movie is awesome. “Anyone can cook” is a great quote. Zootopia has a very similar quote. I highly recommend you watching reacting it.

[@nicholasborkowski3589]

The biggest shock in terms of the casting, is the voice of Anton Ego...no less than Lawrence of Arabia himself. The late great Peter O'toole

[@thunderstruck5484]

“Le-Festin” by Camille is one of my all time favorite songs from any of these movies thanks again!

[@khylechristianderosales1894]

Michael Giacchino is a genius

[@a.g.demada5263]

She's the voice actress if Colette in the movie

[@christianwise637]

For years I'd viewed Ratatouille as being one of Pixar's more middling films, but having rewatched it a few months ago, it's become one of my absolute favourites. It's so gorgeously animated - that first establishing shot of the Paris skyline is just breath-taking - and features one of my favourite Michael Giacchino Pixar scores (it's either this one or Up for me). The script manages to be really mature and grounded, giving the characters plenty of time to breath and become more developed, while also managing to have plenty of really funny moments too. And I adore the whole message of the film, that it doesn't matter where you come from, anyone is capable of following their dreams and becoming a great artist. A few extra points to mention: - Yes, the rat trap shop is a real shop in Paris. - You obviously saw about Ian Holm, but there's plenty of other famous voice actors in this one. Patton Oswalt voices Remy, Janeane Garofalo voices Collette, Ego is Peter O'Toole, Horst (the German sous chef) is Will Arnett, and John Ratzenberger makes his typical Pixar cameo as the voice of the Maître d'. Oh, and Linguini is voiced by the same actor who voices Dash's teacher in The Incredibles (you know, the "Coincidence? I think NOT!" guy). - Ego's whole character arc in this film is wonderful, and I love the fact that he was just cynical and frustrated by how modern cuisine couldn't match his high standards, and all it took to revitalise his passion and love of food was something as simple as a ratatouille - just like his mother made (also nice little animation detail, notice how Ego has a lot more colour in his face during the final scene; rekindling his love of food results in him becoming happier and healthier).

[@swamprat6666]

Please watch both Luca and Coraline at some point, they are both fantastic!

[@robynjones9891]

Yesss

[@vodkapigeon.4682]

Coraline and Paranorman both. Paranorman is a goddamn masterpiece

[@nicsandnacs]

They’re on the list ☺️

[@hgman3920]

The scene with the rat catcher's store is based on an actual window display which is or was in Paris. We went to see it when I visited Paris in 1991

[@DomR1997]

"Whered you visit on your vacation in Paris?" "The rat catchers shop"

[@pokemonparty101]

"Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere."

[@SillyPom]

For the longest time this was my favorite Pixar film, until it was nudged out just a bit by "Coco." It still remains a beautiful top tier favorite among movies. I've always felt that for anyone with a creative mind, "Ratatouille" just reaches you on a whole different level. Also, yes if we don't like something we don't swallow. That's just simple self-explanatory logic at its finest there.

[@maximillianosaben]

I love cooking scenes in movies; so, naturally the final ratatouille scene is one I've watched many *many* times.

[@ZrfRX-_-]

This is definitely a good watch after that whole invincible thing 😭

[@nicsandnacs]

Definitely a nice break ☺️

[@dinsism]

This film is so charming and wholesome!

[@mahashah725]

I was distracted by your amazing eye makeup during the whole video 😍

[@nicsandnacs]

Haha 💗

[@adamgrunther1367]

Oddly enough there IS a Ratatouille ride that’s coming out at Disney World at EPCOT. It’s not a water ride but still looks very fun.

[@phdonnell]

And it’s a clone of the Ratatouille ride that’s already open at Disneyland Paris!

[@thunderstruck5484]

This and Wall-E are my favorites thanks!

[@zvimur]

24:40, Sir Peter O'Tool as a French Culinary critic. Still a Legend.

[@parachuteminds2814]

I LOVE this movie! My favorite Pixar film is not nostalgic, but it moved me, and makes me think in new ways with every viewing. "Inside Out" is the most complex and emotional story they've told IMO.

[@summerlee7402]

6:19 actually, they have a ride at Disney World, called Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure. It’s in Epcot, but doesn’t open til October 1. I heard it was good so I can’t wait to ride it. Also, I am amazed by your hair and makeup every single time I watch you. You are gorgeous! Love the commentary!! :))

[@christianwise637]

There's a Ratatouille ride in Disneyland Paris too (of course), it might be the same one

[@suicunesolsan]

Ratatouille is oft the movie that goes unmentioned when it comes to Pixar, but once someone does mention it, suddenly it's everyone's favorite movie.

[@thomasmuscat6527]

Glad you liked it! The setting, the music, the characters and the moral about food/art are just beautiful. Ego's trip down memory lane genuinely gets me teary-eyed every time. Ratatouille's just one of my favourite Pixar films 😄 Please do try to watch Coraline soon now! It's another favourite and I'm sure you'll like it.

[@a.g.demada5263]

Actually, there's a " Ratatouille " attraction at Disneyland Paris build not too long after the movie came out. If you didn't understand why Colette called ratatouille " a peasant dish ", it's because it's not a gastronomic dish so normally there's no chance to eat that in a restaurant like Gusteau's. About Colette, I think she's a perfect example of how it's hard for us women to work in " men jobs " without a lot of temper. In the french version, she's voiced by Camille, the singer of " Le Festin " (the song we heard after Liguini learns he's Gusteau's son)

[@joshuawells835]

The best response to critics everywhere is Teddy Roosevelt's The Man in the Arena Speech. "It is not the critic who counts. It's not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled. Credit belongs to the man who really was in the arena, his face marred by dust, sweat, and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs to come short and short again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming. It is the man who actually strives to do the deeds, who knows the great enthusiasm and knows the great devotion, who spends himself on a worthy case, who at best, knows in the end the triumph of great achievement. And, who at worst, if he fails, at leasts fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and cruel souls who know neither victory nor defeat."

[@RobTheDoodler]

This is probably my favorite Pixar film outside of WALL-E. There’s a really great, timeless feel to this movie. The kitchen scene and set in France. It all just works so well.

[@poeticjustice5240]

Ratatouille is my comfort movie, it has such a nice vibe, feels like home. And I absolutely love the music in it. Also Coraline is literally my favorite one, it's so great and I've watched it soo many times. Laika studio's movies are total gems, you should watch their other works too. I hope you'll do the reaction video of Coraline soon♥

[@fizzycolalizzie]

Someone might have already mentioned this, but just in case here’s a fun fact: the window with the rats hanging in it is based on a real shop window in Paris that the filmmakers found when they went there for research.

[@seb3813]

Not so fun fact, the shop with the hung rats really does exist in Paris, so yeah it's a real thing... look up Aurouze Paris and you'll find it BTW my favourite pixar has to be Soul, the score and animation are stunning

[@kingbrutusxxvi]

Never thought I'd watch someone pause a scene to look down someone's trousers in an animated film. Live and learn. ;-)

[@nicsandnacs]

I swear Pixar wants to hide Easter eggs in the weirdest of places 😂

[@soniccooper697]

"Don't kill Remy" Linguini kills Remy. LOL XD😂

[@AdrianChazz]

_"If I don't love it, I don't swallow..."_ Well, that's a way to start the video, Nici... 😂

[@calebprince4015]

This is honestly one of my favourites along with the incredibles

[@a.g.demada5263]

Did you notice Folamour easter egg ?

[@grimthereaper933]

Wow. Of all the times, I've seen this movie, I never even noticed it was directed by the same man that directed the INCREDIBLES. And seeing Michael's name was just a cherry on top. It makes so much sense, holy moly. Also, yeah that was the Incredibles logo on Linguini's underwear and I've never noticed that before! Way to catch that!

[@abemrofchak]

Ratatouille is not only the best Pixar movie, it also has the best score.

[@lucybelle2003]

I LOVE YOUR EYESHADOW OH MY WORD IT’S STUNNING

[@nicsandnacs]

Thanks 💗

[@tonysoto8949]

This movie is one of Pixar’s most underrated movies. Everybody always recommend one of the Toy Stories or The Incredibles or Monsters Inc. This movie and Wall-E and Coco are 3 of Pixar’s best movies but don’t get as much recognition as all the other Pixar movies.

[@viddysgamingviddyos4710]

I vaguely remember an Australian paper gave this film a low rating in contrast to other Pixar films [I think this was of an era close to Cars], and when I saw it on a plane for the first time, I didn't understand why. The inventiveness of the dynamic between Linguni and Remi, and the appealing cuisine was entertaining. Nice to see it represented in Kingdom Hearts 3 also.

[@SophieLents]

Dude, I just posted a vid on the same movie 😂😂 that timing!

[@nicsandnacs]

I literally just saw that come up in my subscription feed hahaha

[@summerlee7402]

I was gonna say something about that! 😂

[@glamrockgames1393]

Same

[@martyu69]

It's just like u watched the movie together haha, u should consider doing a collab soon!

[@Catovertheditch]

Any Pixar movie that starts with a interview process is goated

[@erika_itsumi5141]

the funniest thing I find about every reaction to this movie ive seen finds the kiss between collet and linguini is cute and romantic while Matpat was look "he forces to adults to kiss unwillingly, oohohoh better hope the Me Too croud don't come for ya"

[@tayyrific947]

Fun fact: Brad Bird directed both Ratatouille and The Incredibles, so I guess he likes TV as exposition lol. He also voiced Edna Mode in The Incredibles 💁🏻‍♀️ Edit: you watched the credits and found out for yourself lol 😆

[@nathanstaple889]

OMG, THAT HAIR COLOR IS SOOOOOO GOOOOODDD

[@christophertorres3327]

"why wasnt there a ratatouille ride?" CUT TO: "billy on the street interviewing patton oswalt."

[@jrm371]

This is still my favorite Pixar film.

[@joshuawilliams49]

Yess I'm so glad you watched ratatouille it's one of my favourite pixar movies it's so much fun and has lots of funny moments and makes me laugh everytime I watch it😊💙

[@Daniel-pg5gd]

I love your hair colour and eye colour! Such a good comfort movie!

[@attorneyrobert]

The the Julian Aurouze pest-control shop in Paris has had dead rats in traps hanging in the window for decades. So yes, that actually exists. And this film made them more famous than ever.

[@TheSimsFM]

Wanted to watch a Ratatouille reaction and boom I'm early to a channel I haven't watched before, now I can add you to my list of movie reactors to watch :')

[@chloe5911]

There is a Ratatouille ride now open at the France Pavillion in Epcot, and one that has been open for years at Disneyland Paris! From what I've seen, it's follows the sequence in which Remy is trying to make it to the soup that Linguini messed up lol.

[@GrouchyOldBear7]

Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.

[@Thatguyy100]

I find the morale of the story is in the first lines lf the movie. "Anyone can cook" doesn't mean everybody can be a chef. It means a chef can come from anywhere.

[@Zackarykant]

I remember watching this as a child my favorite movie

[@spiderfingers86]

Brought to you by Pixar and written and directed by Brad Bird starring Patton Oswald as Remy, a rat with a sense for good cuisine. When he ventures out into Paris he works with a terrible cook in order to make the restaurant more popular

[@AshXXMayftw]

Funny thing, this past month my house had been invaded by no more than 5 rats. each of which found themselves stuck to a sticky rat trap and inside a garbage can soon after. I actually used to have a pet rat and she was great, but no wild rats. Not in my house!

[@wehaveadarkside]

i remember going to see this movie at the cinema with my family when i was about 8 or 9 years old and i absolutely loved it ever since, for sure my favorite pixar movie

[@spiderfingers86]

Directed by Andrew Stanton starring Patton Oswald as Remy the Rat, the only member of his family who has any sense of taste and becomes the "poison checker." Also featuring Linguini voiced by Lou Romano and Chef Gustavo Gusteu voiced by Brad Garrett. Anton Ego is voiced by Peter O'Toole with villain Chef Skinner voiced by Ian Holm

[@jonathantyner171]

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

[@Arcticsky2000]

love you nicy nacy!!!!!

[@EskimoPablo907]

Finallyyyyyy. Also I didn’t know linguini was a pastor

[@SajoGotoru]

20:13 She's confused because she's a woman of sheer will power. She's a swallower, doesn't matter if she loves it or not. Absolute madwoman.

[@muzzammilshaik7241]

There's a Ratatouille ride in Disneyland Paris and there is one opening in Disney World's EPCOT, next month. You're shrunken down to the size of rats as perspective for the ride.

[@theworstguys9487]

Best pixar movie. IMO

[@maxdon2001]

Great reaction!

[@mikeymouse2]

Love your style.

[@huttmuttbutt]

THIS IS MY FAVORITE!!!

[@9386AliG]

12:06 Aww, look at Remy. With his big sad eyes and his droopy ears.

[@FemaleCollegeStudent]

I’ve worked in restaurants for nearly a decade. It’s the dining room music. That’s why guest can’t hear people in the kitchen yelling. Trust me everyone yells in the kitchen.

[@FemaleCollegeStudent]

And if you need to scream you do it in the cooler.

[@KaeMcSpadden]

My cousin’s husband looks just like a real life version of the character Linguini, the resemblance is so uncanny.

[@MrPossumSLC]

If you every wanna react to comedy, Rat is voiced by Patton Owsald, a stand-up comedic gem.

[@legochickenguy4938]

up came out 3 years after this, so if that dog silhouette was Dug that was some pretty amazing foreshadowing

[@torinkyifh5085]

"The hanging rats in rat traps on the window..." Me: "P-Paris?"

[@christiandeluca6729]

Disney actually has a Ratatouille ride now. It officially opens October 1, 2021. I know it’s Disney in Florida don’t know about California

[@StephenRansom47]

I love that Remi fixes the soup at exactly 25 minutes. Perfect script timing 😊… end of Act 1.

[@Little1Cave]

Yeah Pixar movies were VERY often nominated for writing at the Oscars: Toy Story, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Ratatouille, WALL-E, Up, Toy Story 3, and Inside Out. Only ONE non-Pixar animated film has been nominated for writing and it was the first Shrek movie. Sadly none have won. Yet.

[@potatololita2072]

Ur thumbnail is better than my eyesight really said clearer than my future

[@jdogmcfly1712]

Actually the rats hanging in the front window is a real thing. Apparently that's one of the things the creators saw there when they went to paris for inspiration.

[@Steph_chibs]

Petition for Nicki to say badass in every single video

[@VidsfromBelring]

Funny that you mention that the movies start with interviews, both this and the incredibles are directed by the same guy, Brad Bird!! Master of his craft Edit: you mention it at the end LOL

[@tayyrific947]

It only took over a decade but a Ratatouille ride just opened in EPCOT

[@tayyrific947]

I remember going to the theater to see this with my Nana and she had to cover her eyes at the scenes with all the rats running around the kitchen 🤣

[@danzetterstrom7917]

Favourite one for me is Wall-E but Ratatouille is definitely top 3

[@themistressofantonego8453]

I freaking love this movie

[@llocarydoline9738]

NicNacs are a snack. A SNACK!!! 😂

[@call4906]

they are actually opening a ratatouille roller coaster in epcot in disney next year

[@HarrisaSports]

Funny enough they literally just opened the Ratatouille ride at Disneyworld in Orlando 3 days ago haha. Pretty sure Disney Paris has had one for a few years now tho

[@tazm2480]

11:34 as many times as I watched this movie I literally never noticed my boy had incredibles briefs on I feel so bad I missed this

[@braedenmartin8596]

She definitely watched this right after invisible 😂 😂 😂

[@sebastiengendron6427]

*invincible, and how can you tell that she watched this right after.

[@braedenmartin8596]

@@sebastiengendron6427 because she was like I need to watch something happy after everything I watched recently 😂 😂 😂

[@AdrianChazz]

"Is that real camembert? That looks really good...!" Girl, don't get me started on Gumi. CONTEXT: (Gumi was a technology Pixar developed with the sole purpose of rendering realisticly lit food. i.e. light passing through the cheese accurately)

[@MsGers2]

Just a little detail to point out is that Ego's typewriter has a skull pattern on the back of it.

[@busfare5660]

Rats are actually ticklish

[@Mikerille]

“They should have a ratatouille ride at Disney world” ahhh yes about that, it opens next month.

[@soranraina4391]

I can only say that Ratatouille is the only film i've analyzed that has no actual hero but mostly villains. Each character has a vain personality. Maybe it's cause its all French

[@65g4]

I love your videos i think you should do Luca next
