“Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist _can_ come from anywhere” truly love that line

[@WisteriaDrake]

And this is what Gusteau was trying to say all along with "Anyone can cook"

[@venusxaino]

@@WisteriaDrake Yeah and there is a theory that Gusteau also had a rat in his hat who helped him cook. There is a scene in the movie where I think they discover rat hair in Gusteau's hat if I remember correctly

[@WisteriaDrake]

@@venusxaino I believe that was Linguini's hat. Skinner didn't know for certain that Remy was controlling Linguini at this point, only that he saw rats everywhere, so the "it came back rodent" line was just to spook him even more.

[@user-eh5rb8xj1n]

@@WisteriaDrake Actually both the hat and hair was Gusteau's. It was used to prove in a DNA test that Linguini is Gusteau's son.

[@thedarkknight2221]

A line I wish that the people who made the Star Wars sequel trilogy had paid attention to.

[@ericjohnson6120]

Fun facts 1) In order to properly animate Linguini's wet clothing, a Pixar employee jumped into a pool while wearing Linguini's uniform. 2) Real rats don't have a gag reflex. Linguini's soup was so awful, it forced Remy to evolve one for a comedic gag.

When Colette trains Linguini she says “You can’t cook like Mommy.”, but when Remy cooks for Ego it is the reminder of the cooking like Mom that brings him back and makes him love it. One detail I love is how Ego is so thin as he says “If I don’t like it I don’t swallow”, but once he receives good food he starts to put weight on by the end. Also the fact that Ego is voiced by legendary actor Peter O’ Toole makes him even better!

[@kalakritistudios]

Lawrence of Arabia.

[@brandonmathieu1892]

"you can't cook like mommy" just refers to professional cooking and how techniques such as mise en place, knife cutting skills, etc. have to be fast and consistent to serve hundreds of people each night... but the homecook doesn't have to be as fast, precise, and clean/organized/prepped. That's why Colette teaches him about keeping his station clean, not being too slow, keeping his arms in tight so that he can work on the line shoulder to shoulder with other cooks without getting in the way, etc.

[@jamesmoyner7499]

@@brandonmathieu1892 It’s both. You even see when Remy cooks with Colette they are going slow and taking their time with the dish.

[@giraffejuice]

[@dragonicdoom3772]

I think I remember reading somewhere that the reason Remy is able to control Linguine is because he's barely in control of his body anyway. Notice how throughout the movie he's really clumsy and constantly stumbling over himself and his words, with such little self control and discipline it made it easier for Remy to control him. So Remy probably couldn't control Collete since she's a lot more composed.

[@joejoejoe532]

The irony is that Linguine actually does have control over his body while on his rollerblades. The idea isn't that Linguine is universally clumsy, just that he, like many people, need specific contexts for our best qualities to shine: he was clumsy because he was not playing to his strengths.

Ratatouille is also called a poor man’s dish, that’s why she was shocked when Remy suggested the meal to a renowned critic. But remy managed to make it look prestigious and apparently tastes divine too

[@emperorrevan6992]

I also love the subtle symbolism that you could argue that action has. How serving such a humble dish shattered Ego’s, well, ego.

[@pyrothemusical]

Man, Anton's speech at the end while he gives the restaurant a positive review still remains such a heartwarming moment in the movie. It always makes me smile whenever I hear it.

[@ZondaFRoadster]

The writers for this movie were all given professional gourmet chef training so they could really immerse themselves in the environment. It really shows.

[@a.g.demada5263]

Colette's gesture is inspired by the french chief Hélène Darroze

[@dragonicdoom3772]

Part of Anton's flashback is in reference to Collette's speech about cooking, how its not a cute job like mummy in the kitchen. Remy was able to prove her wrong by making gourmet food that reminded Anton of how his mother used to make Ratatouille. He was able to put the "soul" into his food while still being rigorous enough to keep up in the kitchen, which is even signified by the kitchen lighting. At the start its very bright and sterile, but when Remy is cooking the whole kitchen has this soft warm glow.

[@bluecoin3771]

I do agree with some of Collette’s points. Cooking on the line requires a discipline that is much more hectic than just cooking for 4 people who are okay if you are a little late with the food. I watch a lot of Bar Rescue and Kitchen Nightmares. Each job even if it doesn’t have restrictions, indeed have requirements.

[@AliceBunny05]

​@@bluecoin3771yes, it's important to remember cartoons never reflect reality 100%. it's incredibly important for a chef to have passion for what they do, however, the difference between a good home cook and a professional chef with a lot of experience is extremely large. the experiences you get from the two are also extremely different. the standards, timing, efficiency needed are in two different ballparks. In the end both collette and remy are correct, knowing how to make food that feeds not only the stomach but the soul, and having the skills, standards, and efficiency one can only acquire through being a professional chef are both important.

[@roxtechs]

What I love so much about Ego eating Ratatouille is afterwards you notice he has much more color in his design. As if Remi dish brought the color and joy back into his life.

[@jaredmulconry]

Ego's review is such a moving sequence. It's so powerful. I also really appreciate that a sequel hasn't happened in the 15 years since the film came out. It absolutely doesn't need one.

[@ms_scribbles]

Ratatouille is a rather simple dish in the grand scheme of things. It's basically stewed vegetables with olive oil, garlic and herbs. The simplicity of it makes it easy to tweak it however you like.

The Michelin guide book which gives out five star reviews to restaurants, was started by Michelin (a tyre company) to encourage people to use their cars to travel for good food. The whole idea was for people to use their cars more, and then they would need more tyres from Michelin.

[@akshayhere]

@@michael2rutherford238 I first heard about it back in 2010 on some NatGeo doc and it blew my mind when I came to realise food Michelin is the same as tyre Michelin. Also it's only 3 star max per place(which according to the original guide was "worth a detour" ). Today the Michelin inspectors are always on the road and remain completely anonymous. Even their families are told a cover story and don't know what they do.

[@knighthawk3749]

Even a single Micheline star indicates an exceptional restaurant. And only a relative handful have more than one.

[@JokeCubed]

My favourite fan-theory from this movie is that the woman at the start, whose house the rats are living in, is actually Anton Ego's mother. She clearly likes cooking and food, having numerous cookbooks and watching the cooking channel, and I think people have worked out that during the flashback that we see to Ego as a child, the house seems to match up.

[@phousefilms]

There is also a similar shelf for vegetables and fruits that is in the background when she appears and when Remy is in the old ladies kitchen. But that might just be recycling background(the shot of Dory swimming up to Marlin and saying "It'll be okay"in "Finding Nemo"is the same both when she meets him and when they're in the whale, so recycled.)

[@Taygon45]

There's also a theory that it's Linguini's house too. Meaning they're brothers. Or half brothers. The house that an animated short were two aliens try to abduct a very gangly young man but fail, only making him go all over the place in the house with the tractor beam controls, shows how maybe Remy was able to control him. And the house looked similar to the one at the beginning of the film

[@fourthhorsemendeath218]

That ending always gets me. You can be the most stoic person, but a really good meal can remind you of home. Genuine happiness

[@coltonashcroft626]

If you watch the part where Linguini gets caught with Remi in the fridge and he flips off the light, if you turn the brightness all the way up you can see him grab Remi and put him under his hat.

[@gntyh]

of all people in the crew i wouldve expected to have seen this before, the two dads were probably last on the list how have you guys not seen this with the kids

[@theodore8070]

Let me add this: I love how the whole theme about food driving you back in past memories fits perfectly with classic french litterature. In Proust's "à la recherche du temps perdu (Searching of the lost time)", the author explains how the taste of petite madelaine takes him back to his childhood, like an attempt to win a battle with time. Ego gets the same feeling and it fits so nicely since its set in Paris. Also, I like how Remy is choosing a "peseant" dish. He knows his roots and he knows how to cook just like Anton's mom since he grew up and learnt how to cook in french country side. A chef with so humble roots reminding one of the top critics that kind of country side comfort but in a more gourmet, haute cuisine way presented. It adds to the whole "a great artist can come from anywhere" since Paris and haute cuisine/high society is famous for it's snob manners where someone could be treated as less worthy because of his less fancy origins.

[@davidtrujillo1689]

What cracks me up is that someone so bitter and sad can just change with a simple human emotion, be reminded of the feeling which made them happy.

[@geneticprotocolwalter4772]

Crazy how this movie is supposed to be for kids, yet has the most mature and profound piece of dialogue about criticism. "The average piece of junk probably has more value than our criticism designating it so." Best line the whole movie.

Colette talking about Chefs having troubled backgrounds is actually true. Most chefs I know either don’t look like chefs, comes from very fishy backgrounds, or some of them are alcoholics 🤣

Ego's monologue at the end is genuinely one of the best I've ever seen and Peter O'Toole gave such an amazing performance

[@artistanthony1007]

1) Anton's flashback hits in the feels and 2) One thing that still amazes me is how we have been able to animate.

[@UlysseLaarwall]

Fun fact: the dish they cook at the end is technically not a Ratatouille, but a Tian, the difference reside in the fact that in a Ratatouille the vegetables are cut in big dices (like what we saw in the flashback), while in a Tian it's in thin slices. Stil one of my favorite movies despite that.

[@amritasrinivasan2929]

Oh. Is it Tian? I thought it was based on Confit Byaldi. Are the two the same?

[@ishaqsebbar8169]

+ every vegetable is normally cooked in a pan and separately from the other

[@FranciscoMagdaraog]

The ratatouille dish was created by Chef Thomas Keller based on a dish called confit byaldi. Anthony Bourdain is in the "special thanks" in the credits and the montage of the cooks is very similar (at least in tone) to his description of the "pirate crew" of cooks he worked with in Kitchen Confidential.

[@hellfish2309]

Bourdain was a cultural hallmark of the restaurant industry, and celebrated the history of the professional kitchen being a bastion for society’s misfits and ‘failures’ to become practitioners of the craft

They explained why they did the hair thing in the commentary. They basically experimented with a bunch of options. Remy talking to him, running around his shirt, etc, and it did play out quite right. So they came up with the idea of him being a puppeteer using hair to make it work. So they basically wrote the process of them figuring it out into the story as Remy trying to figure out how to control Alfredo.

This movie was what got me into cooking at a young age. It’s up there with Robin Hood, Aristocats and Lion King for my favourite animated movie of all time.

This is one of my favorite Pixar films. In the ending the critic doesn’t say a rat cooked it, just that he loved his meal. Theoretically he wouldn’t know there were rats in the kitchen unless he went to check or the health inspector shut them down. His reputation stays in tact.

I will happily say that although this film wasn't my favourite pixar film as a child, as an adult I realise the many subtleties of this film add so much value to the story and that this film majoritively was written with an adult tone (of course kids can enjoy it too). What a masterpiece.

[@dr4260]

i feel like it’s worth mentioning that ratatouille (the dish) is considered a “struggle meal” of sorts. in fact the dish in Anton Ego’s flashback is what authentic ratatouille looks like. essentially it is a stew made out of whatever you can find in the fridge. that is why Colette was so surprised when Remy told them what he wanted to cook for Anton.

The decision to have Remy narrate the scene where Anton Ego meets the chef after trying the ratatouille is so much better than if it had been done through dialogue. Patton Oswalt really has a comforting way of delivery, even for dramatic moments, and the Pixar animators of the time carried the rest of the scene through nonverbal communication wonderfully. And Peter O'Toole's critical review of criticism is so perfectly delivered, I'll never forget it.

Other than Ego's still relevant final review, I think the bit that gets me most is after Linguine gives his passionate Disney-esque speech to the staff - who don't know they're in a Disney movie, so they do the smart thing and walk out. That is the Pixar difference, for me.

interesting pick I'm here for it.

“Least they don’t wipe their ass with their hand, like us” “You use your hands??” Dead 💀😂😂

Fun fact for 16:39 There really is a shop in Paris with dead rats hanging on the display called Aurouze. They have 21 dead rats hanging by their neck, crushed by steel traps. They’ve been there since 1925.

I really feel the ending of the movie is one of the hardest hitting things. Even if you didn’t like everything else the ending just leaves a wonderful impression and commentary on Critique

[@basicsimp8798]

Ego's final review is still relevant till this day. Many people profiting of hate and negativity.

[@ScarecrowEdits]

Wall-E has to be next! Such a brilliant move with so much heart and humour

[@joeysnowynoey8054]

Ego’s ending speech is amazingly impactful, and I get teary eyed when I hear it. This movie is so beautiful, I love it. Definitely my favorite Pixar movie.

[@davidw7531]

I'm glad you guys did this and enjoyed it! I love this movie, it really helped inspire me to become a home cook. I even named my dog Remy, my little chef. :)

Pixar at its absolute best. Ego biting into the ratatouille and his review afterward are some of most magical experiences I've ever had from animation.

[@YoureRightIThink]

The rat: "change is nature" Damn that was great I never paid attention to that phrase

[@bigyetter]

I didn't know that I needed a Rick/Aaron reaction but I am here for it.

[@SpartanShepard]

This is my favorite Pixar movie. I love Up, Inside Out, Incredibles, Monsters Inc, Toy Story, etc... But Ratatouille makes my heart smile the most and doesn't make me emotionally drained like the others. It's truly a film I put on when I'm having a bad day.

[@Batmobileize]

This movie, Cars 1, and The Incredibles are easily the top 3 Pixar movies I used to watch on repeat as a kid. Ego’s ending monologue STILL gets me to this day, “Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist CAN come from anywhere.”

[@awesomeausman0422]

Ratatouille! A great Pixar classic! I loved the adult humor being put into this movie. 🤣 An delicious animated film from start to finish. 🙂👏 Loved your reactions! 🤣🤣🤣: 11:09, 11:26, 12:55 Rick! 🤣, 14:34 👍, 20:27 👍🤣, 26:11, 28:02 🤣🤣🤣

The jewel of autumn 07, after a wet summer. Love the scene where Remy reads the will...and Skinner walks in.

[@artboymoy]

I didn't know who Patton Oswald was before this movie. It was really entertaining with the concept and characters, but that moment the critic ate the ratatouille and went back to his childhood, OMG. What a moment that made the movie for me.

[@artofsamlo4216]

Truly the best of pixar's works in my eyes, its an absolutely stunning film that uses the medium to the fullest to tell a thematically rich story and immerse you in the incredibly lush and extravagant atmosphere of Paris. Glad you guys had a good time with it.

[@Reiggn_]

how have i lived this long and have never noticed how Egos typewriter is a skull and his room is shaped like a coffin. Thats CRAZY

[@gonheroedits]

What a nice surprise! This is actually one of my favorite movies. I hope they watch Fantastic Mr. Fox one day. That’s my all time favorite movie 👌🏾

[@neabby]

Probably one of my favorite animated movies. 😍 It's just a...chef's kiss...okay I'll stop.

[@govinddas7876]

Ego's final critique speech is one of my favourites ever in a movie

[@heze2819]

I’m in awe even more everytime I go back and rewatch Ego’s speech. I think it’s quite possibly the greatest scene in all of cinema considering it is literally about how we define art and what it means to be an artist.

[@mindime1499]

"like Mac & cheese & tunafish" - That's what my mom makes me every year from childhood, too, Rick!!!

[@arulo848]

27:20 Ratatouille usually looks like it does in Ego's memory -- stewed vegetables (zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers, tomatoes). What they made here is confit byaldi, an elevated presentation of ratatouille, developed by Thomas Keller. I saw this movie in the theater with my little sister (who was 9 at the time), and she asked me to make the dish for her. She liked it, so I must have done something right.

[@PhoenixPrime]

I actually rewatched this movie recently! Heck, I even made ratatouille for my parents, too! Seriously - this movie is just so wholesome and perfect. It's honestly one of those feel-good movies that just makes you wanna COOK and EAT!!!

[@HotDogTimeMachine385]

The whole "forcefully kissing someone without consent" really hits differently when you're grown up lol

[@pamoweiberezi5315]

Not in the way it's portrayed here

[@Wolfer1OOO]

neither of them gave consent for it though ^^

[@curlyxcoco]

that’s not what happened lol
