RATATOUILLE: The Complete Story of Anton Ego

[@IsaacCarlson]

First video of 2024! Thank you all for your patience for this video to be posted. I have spent the last few weeks getting my studio in order again for another year in Orlando! I upgraded the lights I've had since the beginning of my KZbin channel. I figured out how to get music in my videos moving forward. I figured out everything I needed to go on location to Walt Disney World to record parts of videos there (which includes this one)! And I have been working to build out memberships here on the channel. I'm so excited for the year ahead, and I'm so grateful I have you as a part of my community here. Truly you mean a lot to me! Thank you for watching this video and so many more. I can't wait to make so many great videos in the coming year and continue to grow this community as it approaches 1,000,000 subscribers! I appreciate you, and I hope you have a magical day!

GREAT TO HAVE YOU BACK MAN! YOU'RE AMAZING 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤

[@olleselin]

Welcome back, Isaac! Hope you're enjoying it all so far❤👍😁

Do a theory on if cars have souls. . And was Sally a lost soul

[@DragonSavior2930]

Issac Carlson, more HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON videos please.

I remember watching this video for the first time I nearly cried. It was so beautiful and detailed into one of my favorite characters in my favorite Pixar movie. I even went to Disney recently and took my picture by Ego's shop before riding Ratatouille. Great job! You should be proud!

[@jessetorres8738]

There's fan theory that the old woman at the beginning of the film is Anton Ego's mother. The old woman wore pink like Anton's mother in his flashback, & she clearly had experience in cooking, hence how Remy was able to learn from her cookbooks. Also, it's believed that given the flashback we get from Anton's childhood, he's so critical of other cooks because no one in his mind will ever be better than his mother. So, when Anton eats Remy's food, it reminds him of his mother who's probably too old to cook anymore, & it brings an additional meaning of the phrase "just like mom used to make."

[@harmonetheanimationaddict4419]

In that case, Anton's mom somehow became a maniac.

[@adamnakamura8003]

@harmonetheanimationaddict4419 Yeah… I’d go nuts, too, if my son gained the title of Grim Eater after he’d love your food for years.

[@robinlight]

Well she wasn't too old to shoot a shot gun!😂

[@exodia9817]

Wow, I never thought about the opening scenes of Ratatouille like that.

[@saber2802]

I actually assumed that Ego's mother passed away and that the dish reminded him a lot about her, so much so that it made him reconsider what he has done.

[@stephenbereznicki7506]

Aside from Isaac's incredible insightfulness in this video (and, I'm not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but), could we all take a moment to honor the late Peter O'Toole, who provided a most excellent vocal performance for the character of Anton Ego? R.I.P. Peter O'Toole.

I think art is an expression of one's passions and beliefs within this world. It's about taking risks, breaking the rules and exploring the unknown. Art is expression, of which we could understand the artist. Art can take any form, but it brings people together. Theatre, literature, pencil or brush, food. It brings us together because if someone makes something truly special from something so common, it'll bring people together. That, is what I believe art is.

[@Maria_Miciano_5]

Anton Ego is such a cool character! Pixar casted the right voice actor for him! Happy 2024! Edit: I like how Collete and Linguini look up to Ego but they are confident that Remy is a good chef. Just something that I didn't notice till now lol.

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

I was so happy when anton learned to love food again! The flashback gets me every time! 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

[@falcoskywolf]

I was deeply moved by Ego's change of heart at the end of the film- his review was so carefully crafted- one of the finest monologues in recent decades of Disney, in my opinion. The fact that he staked his reputation on supporting Remy was incredible, and it's great to see that his continued life has broadened his relationship with food. I'm a major foodie myself, and I really appreciated the heart that was put into Ratatouille. Gorgeous visuals that make your mouth water, people who are passionate about food, and the way it shapes lives and relationships. I also greatly appreciate your videos, because as a Disney analyst, they inspire me to theorize and connect dots between stories as well. I don't think I'd have started crafting what I call "The Ultimate Mouseyverse Theory," linking *all properties created OR absorbed by Disney,* without having seen so many of your videos. In ways, your musings on Disney films make you the opposite of how Ego operated for so long. You bring positivity and warmth to your studies- and you obviously care about the touches like historical accuracy and proper representation in the movies. It's always a bright spot in my day when I see a new Isaac video drop.

[@Pudding404]

Anton's career as a food critic ended just like he did to all the other resturaunts, by the ruthless critiques of his readers that praised his merciless standards. But just like that, the Grim Eater was reborn. Such a beautiful film.

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

This movie was PEAK! Still binge it!hope it gets a sequel someday😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤

[@TheIantoJones]

To be an artist is to put parts of your own soul into what you make. Whatever the form of artistry, there's a part of you that calls out for it. And you just have to *make*.

[@paulpavlus6664]

Why must art be suffering? It doesn't have to be, does it?

[@TheIantoJones]

@@paulpavlus6664 Who said anything about suffering? Making is fulfilling :)

[@teamsteed1]

Thank you for posting the video about the bittersweet backstory of Ego's love of food.

[@SirStephenSW5334]

I love the follow-up at Epcot and showing Anton Ego's shop. Thanks, Isaac.

[@theggamer2824]

I always love when Disney world/Disney land makes continuations towards movie in unexpected ways.

[@henriquedearruda8902]

I hope Ratatouille gets a sequel

[@doll9340]

What would the sequel be about though?

[@henriquedearruda8902]

@@doll9340 maybe Remy having a girlfriend this is in France 🇫🇷 after all

[@Tylermiller778]

Does it need one? It’s a perfect Solo movie.

[@doll9340]

​@@Tylermiller778I agree wholeheartedly. I was just curious to see what they would like to see

[@radcircles9865]

What really shocked me about Ratatouille was that Anton Ego wasn’t a villain. He was just a cynic whose perspective of life was changed by a little chef

[@aff77141]

I think Ego definitely took joy in being so scathing, but I also think he felt it was fully justified, not just him being cruel, at least at the start. As he said he takes food very seriously, so anyone who is not the best of the best would be an insult to him and something that his whole life revolves around. He isn't an artist, but he finds art in how he understands what it means to be a good cook on a different level, far beyond the pompous aristocracy of French brigade cooking, tearing down people who think they're the greatest because they have these fancy techniques and a saucier and expensive ingredients, and he thinks gustau was among them, just trying to soullessly peddle garbage for high prices. THAT is what Ratatouilles leads teach him. That there are still earnest artists in the world of French cuisine, and that it could be anyone you pass on the street. It could even be you :)

[@julieta8683]

I've always wanted to find out more about Anton Ego before the events of Ratatouille so thanks Isaac 😄🖤

[@CartoonPanda97]

"🍽 Anton Ego's post-Ratatouille story just blew my mind! 😱✨ Didn't see that coming - kudos to the creators! 👏👨‍🍳 And can we take a moment to appreciate Ratatouille's timeless magic? 🐭🎥 Such a classic! Who else is pleasantly surprised? Let's talk in the comments! 🗣🌟 #EgoRevelation #RatatouilleMagic #UnexpectedTwist"

[@dankbudew4830]

Tbh, nothing will ever truly beat my mother’s cooking,too. She doesn’t always follow the recipes and brings her OWN flavors that can’t be replicated. It’s almost like magic.

[@AlyssaMonetMason]

I enjoy videos like this. The piano is nice too.

[@gilramanujan8826]

Ratatouille has always been one of my favorite Pixar films and this aspect is probably one of the best scenes I have seen in all of film which really sticks with me more in now that it has upon my first viewing.

[@ΕυάγγελοςΦώσκολος]

What you said at the end of the video could not be more true. I am an even bigger fan of Disney and Dreamworks because of your videos.

[@joshuasebsebe1047]

Anton Ego is like the grim reaper

[@tanyipan3554]

He is nicknamed the Grim Eater after all

You are an amazing documentary maker! And give such amazing insight, I have nothing but appreciation for your work! I am psyched to learn that Anton's story continues, my husband and I are going to Disneyland for the first time this year and will be saving up for a Disney World trip in the near future. I look forward to seeing the Ratatouille area and learning more about Anton.

[@jacksynquiroz9168]

I like how when he shows some sign of aggression or anger his eyes or pupils they get smaller and his eye get wider and his voice can make Him extra intimidating Pls I always love your videos hope your doing well ❤

[@juanhaines7295]

I say he's a vampire. 1 he's tall and pail. 2 his office is shaped like a coffin. 3 I'm pretty sure he was drinking blood, not wine. 4 the doors mysteriously close on their own behind him.

[@garveyneal1672]

Can do full stories of Remy, Linguini, Collette, and Skinner?

[@jonwashburn7999]

Thanks for the new video

[@jaredlanglitz5651]

Anton Ego’s transformation was similar to that of Forky’s. At first Forky was lacking in the magic that came to being a toy because of him being made from garbage, but as the fourth movie goes on we see Forky slowly becoming a real toy every time he gets an epiphany, shown by having his eyes focus in the center and actually blinking like all the other toys. Forky’s epiphanies are similar to that moment after Anton Ego ate the Ratatouille and remembered himself as a kid.

[@connormarchand6302]

The music in this was perfect! 1 million subscribers coming up🎉

[@pyrho1]

I still can't believe they decided to be honest with Ego about Remy. They could have kept the secret hidden and been just fine

[@axels3188]

I think Antone Ego’s Story was interesting and I like how he become an artist at the end of his story.

[@everettparker1313]

This was an Incredible Masterpiece Origin Video for Anton Ego/The Food Critic. The Main Antagonist’s Turned Anti Hero in The 2007 Disney/Pixar Film Ratatouille. Aton Ego was Voiced by The Late Peter Seamus O’Toole (August 2, 1932 - December 14, 2013) who did a Phenomenal Performance Bringing This Fantastic Tragic Pixar Villain to Life.

[@SilverSkyCloud]

could you do a list ranking magic users of disney? i have merlin in disney dreamlight saying hes the most powerful wizard, so how would he compare to people like yensid, the fairy godmother, maleficent or the evil queen?

[@falcoskywolf]

Ooh, good idea. Jafar, Genie, Elsa, and maybe even Te Fiti could be added to the list.

[@exodia9817]

Man, comparing a five star chef like Gusteau to the Italian chef that brought beef ravioli to the world outside of Italy, Chef Boyardi. No wonder Gusteau's heart broke to the point of him dying.

[@paulpavlus6664]

Maybe Anton Ego writing bad reviews is not only because he felt something's missing in the food he ate, but maybe is one example of why people like darkness more than light.

[@sentientfetus3894]

Do a theory on cars . Do cars have souls was Sally a lost soul

[@juliojuarez4033]

I've always thought the old lady that we see in the beginning was shooting at remi & his family egos mother

Can you please try to review Elemental because it went from a failure of hatred to a beloved success?

[@pancakes7778]

Not related but I have a theory that Zhen from KFP4 went into the Jade Palace and tried stealing The Staff Of Wisdom from Po. I think somehow she is successful and maybe gives it to The Chameleon and later Po puts her in jail. Zhen while in jail explains to Po that she will help him find The Chameleon and stop her. That's my theory

You theorist are more fun to watch then the critics . Theories make the average piece of junk more meaningful then all the critiques. Designating themselves. Compare Nostalgia Critic to Matt Patt. Or All those Star wars theory channels out of response to Red Letter media. And

[@matbrock1619]

Anton Ego is a vampire! I saw his fangs. When he opens his mouth, I suggest you just pause the video a look at his teeth. I know what I saw. Pretty good theory, isn't it?
