comment
The eighth computer animated film by Pixar, Ratatouille (2007) is about a rat named Rémy (Patton Oswalt) who has a highly developed sense of taste and smell. Dissatisfied with eating garbage like the rest of his family, he yearns to become a chef. When he winds up in Paris, he gets his chance to cook at the restaurant founded by his idol, Auguste Gusteau (Brad Garrett), by making a deal with the restaurant's garbage boy, Linguini (Lou Romano), who, thanks to Rémy's interference, has been mistaken for a cooking genius. Rémy guides Linguini in the kitchen in a puppet-like manner so that Linguini doesn't lose his job, while Rémy gets the cooking experience (and critical fame) he desires.Played in theaters with Pixar short Lifted. The movie has a follow-up short titled Your Friend the Rat released the same year. If you're interested in the tie-in game, go to this page. The Ratatouille characters also have a series of levels in the Kinect Rush: a Disney-Pixar Adventure, and Rémy appears in Kingdom Hearts III as a supporting character who puppets Sora into preparing his delicious recipes the same way he does it to Linguini in the movie. There also exists a ride at the Disney Theme Parks based on this movie known as "Rémy's Ratatouille Adventure", opening at Walt Disney Studios Park in Paris in 2014 and at Epcot in Florida in 2021.

Swarm of Rats: Yeah, the rats are sympathetic characters here, but they still can invoke this imagery when needed. Notably when Rémy's father and a part of his clan swarm the car of the health inspector to stop him from raising the alarm too soon about the rat-infested restaurant. Played for Laughs, as they then come back with him gagged and tied.

Artistic License – Biology
 Ratatouille / int_18aff462
comment
Artistic License – Biology: Rémy gags when he catches a whiff of the soup Linguini has clumsily doctored. Rats are physically incapable of vomiting. Rule of Funny applies, of course, as it shows just how bad Linguini's cooking is. Onions and scallions can cause anemia when ingested by rats so despite Rémy taste-testing many of the dishes he prepared, license is taken that he never ingests enough to trigger a toxic reaction.

Title Drop
 Ratatouille / int_18d15922
comment
Title Drop: The eponymous dish has great significance in the movie's climax. Skinner orders the same dish that was to be served to Ego, and is surprised what he is served. The bistro that Rémy, Linguini, and Colette set up in the film's end is named "La Ratatouille". However, this trope is also parodied when earlier Linguini brings up the subject of "ratatouille" for no other reason besides being drunk.

Taught by Experience: Learning from the health inspector's surprise visit, the new restaurant has a dining area hidden from the humans that is accessible to Rémy's clan and they can honorably get food. Only Rémy, Colette and Linguini are seen in the kitchen which makes it easier to keep Rémy's participation hidden.

Defrosting Ice Queen

comment
Defrosting Ice Queen: Colette's initial attitude towards Linguini comes off as rather... hostile, but she becomes much mellower towards him as their relationship develops. It helps that there's an element of Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy thrown in. Anton Ego by the film's end. His defrosting is much more abrupt and dramatic, but he's undeniably a much happier and friendlier person afterwards.

Parental Abandonment: Rémy's mother was written out of the movie, Linguini's mother had recently died and his dad was Gusteau, who had also died a few years before. Although Rémy's separation with his father is a plot point, it's not quite as sad as that other movie where a rodent is separated from his father.

Awesome, but Impractical: Using a shotgun to kill rats. You will make it pretty clear that they should Never Mess with Granny and you will completely ruin the rats' day, but you'll be lucky to hit even one of the rats and the collateral damage will be disastrous. By the time Mabel has a clear shot of Émile, she's out of cartridges; after she reloads and fires again, the ceiling collapses from all the holes she's blown in it.

Unfortunately for Rémy however, this winds up getting him assigned as the group's designated poison-tester, something he isn't remotely satisfied doing with his life.

comment
Lethal Chef: Rémy gags at the mere smell of Linguini's improvised soup (doubly applies to Rule of Funny about the fact that rats are physically incapable of gagging), and Linguini himself tasted it and immediately ran to the window to lose his lunch. It's played with in that Linguini never claimed to be a cook; he accidentally knocked the pot of soup off the stove, spilling some, and was trying to cover his mistake by refilling the pot with water and grabbing whatever was at hand that seemed "culinary". Given that he was panicked and tossing in stuff at random, it's little wonder it turned out so horrible.

comment
Blessed with Suck: Rémy is gifted with an acute sense of smell and taste as well as an active curiosity towards humanity's ability to create. This leads him to want to become a cook. Unfortunately, he's a rat and his Extreme Omnivore family thinks he's just being unnecessarily picky and most people just see him as a dirty, filthy rodent that should never be allowed in a proper kitchen.

Take That, Critics!
 Ratatouille / int_3e5f74c
comment
Take That, Critics!: Some people have taken Ego's review to be an attack on the incredible willingness of critics to tear things apart for no good reason. Though film critics appreciated the fact this film shows it to be a more complex affair and that Anton Ego is ultimately very sincere about his high standards and will go out of his way to back a true genius. It can also be seen as a Take That! to critics who have fun at negative reviews, which has become far more common with the rise of YouTube critics, for example.

comment
Pun-Based Title: "Ratatouille" is the name of an actual French dish which plays an important role in the climax of the film while the first syllable is also the main character's species. At the very end, the same pun is used for the name of Linguini and Colette's new bistro, "La Ratatouille", which depicts a rat on its sign.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
 Ratatouille / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: When the health inspector arrives at Gusteau's, he gets Bound and Gagged by the swarm of rats. This doesn't save Gusteau's and merely prolongs how long it would stay up until the inspector shut it down; they had to let him go eventually. Thanks to the involvement of Rémy's family, the meal with Ego turns out to be a success and even the honest reveal of Rémy as the chef does not stop him from writing a glowing review of Gusteau. However, when the inspector shuts down the place, Ego loses his job and credibility as a food critic for so highly recommending a rat-infested restaurant.

Anti-Interference Lock Up: The rats cooking in the kitchen chase after the health inspector and Chef Skinner and toss them Bound and Gagged into the food storage room, so that the restaurant won't be forcibly closed right in the middle of Anton Ego's visit.

Bittersweet Ending: Rémy manages to impress Ego with a simple ratatouille and, while surprised he is a rat, writes an honest review giving him full credit and praise, without revealing his identity. However, Skinner and the health inspector had to be let out resulting in Gusteau's restaurant getting shut down. Ego loses his job and credibility, but invests in the bistro Linguini and Colette set up that becomes quite successful. Rémy is part of the staff along with Linguini and Colette, and continues in his role as a chef. It's implied Colette becomes the head chef, what with her happily ordering Rémy back to the kitchen after he finishes narrating the movie. What's more, the new restaurant has dining quarters that keep rat patrons and Rémy out of sight.

Not Even Bothering with the Accent: Anton Ego, voiced by the very English-sounding, and very not-trying-to-hide-his-accent, Peter O'Toole, which is odd since flashbacks show Ego grew up in a very provincial part of France. He even uses the British expletive "Bloody" in his dialog.

Curious, Linguini tries to remove his blindfold to see what's happening, but Rémy pushes the blindfold back over Linguini's eyes while still cringing.

Scenery Porn: Pixar went to a lot of trouble to capture the look and atmosphere of Paris in the autumn. The early scene where Linguini nearly throws Rémy into the Seine (which takes place near Pont Notre Dame in the east bank) is beautifully rendered and lit, with a touch of light fog adding to the mood. Gusteau's restaurant, curiously, is a real restaurant in France, known in real life as the Tour d'argent (Silver Tower). The rat-catcher's shop is also real (down to the window display as depicted). It's also a taxidermist, thus explaining the trophies in the window. Almost indistinguishable, but in the beginning when Rémy ends up on the floor of the restaurant under the counters while hiding, there are tiny bits of food on the floor with him. They went to the trouble of detailing the crumbs on the floor that hadn't been completely cleared.

To his shock, Rémy quickly fixes the recipe to the point where it is so delicious that everyone else in the restaurant wants it, running the cooks ragged to keep up with orders and convincing everyone else in the kitchen that Linguini is a master chef.

Spirit Advisor: Rémy, desperate to talk to someone, imagines up Auguste Gusteau. Rémy is fully aware that Gusteau is a figment of his imagination and he disappears when Rémy realizes he can rely on his own judgment. This is actually played with, for the most part it does seems like his imagination. But as the film goes on Gusteau starts to feel more like his own entity than Rémy's considering his reactions. Even Rémy starts to wonder when Gusteau departs his final words of wisdom on him. So it's more or less leave the audience to decide if it's really coming from Rémy's mind or Gusteau's actual ghost helping him.

Missing Mom: Linguini's mother is recently dead and Rémy's is not mentioned at all in the movie; her only appearance is as a drawing in the Your Friend The Rat short. Anton Ego's mother has long passed, we can presume, but his expression as he tastes the ratatouille and flashes back to a cherished memory of her suggests—in a clever double meaning—that he misses her dearly.

Wine Is Classy
 Ratatouille / int_6ad19559
comment
Wine Is Classy: Done as part of one the best visual gags in the movie. Anton Ego hears of Gusteau's success while drinking a glass of red wine and starts a Spit Take. He then stops himself, checks the label on the bottle, and carefully swallows. Freeze-Frame Bonus: That's a real winenote A Chèval Blanc '47, and it's far too good to waste like that. In addition, while waiting for his meal at Gusteau's he nonchalantly asks for a Chèval Blanc 47, widely regarded in wine circles as the best wine vintage ever bottled.

 Ratatouille / int_6b05b601
comment
Jerkass Has a Point: Anton lambasted Gusteau's restaurant for declining standards — which it had under Skinner's stewardship. It's hinted at with Skinner wanting to commercialize Gusteau's name to serve fast food, like Mexican food (from a famed French chef.) Skinner might be a petty tyrant who considers the meals to be business, not art, but a rat in a kitchen is a massive health and business risk. In fact, this gets Gusteau's closed by the end of the movie. While Linguini was wrong to discredit Remy's contributions entirely and attributing all the help to Colette, Linguini makes a valid point anyway. Colette did show Remy and Linguini proper techniques and kitchen organization to make sure recipies were done more efficiently as well as give the duo more info on the quirky restaurant staff.

Trainee from Hell: Linguini can not cook, and for Rémy, teaching him is very difficult. It takes them several tries to find out how they can cook together with Rémy not speaking the human language and Linguini not knowing anything about cooking. They figure it out, but it is made clear in the Training Montage that to cook that way is at least as challening for Rémy as it is for Linguini.

Meaningful Name
 Ratatouille / int_6bda9a30
comment
Meaningful Name: Alfredo Linguini, a kind of pasta. Also, Skinner (named after scientist B. F. Skinner, who performed experiments on rats to study animal behavior). "Auguste Gusteau" translates into "majestic palette", and "gusto" is related to words referring to the sense of taste or appetite (i.e. "gustatory"). A man with a sense of taste befitting royalty? He might just make a good chef. Bonus points in that "Auguste Gusteau" is an anagram. Ratatouille initially seems to be used merely as a double meaning title; however, it later carries significance as the meal that that is served to Anton Ego despite its "peasant dish" status. "Anton Ego", the critic speaks to everyone around him in a haughty and patronizing manner.

Casting Gag: In a standup routine before this movie was made, Patton Oswalt described meeting and having a conversation with Brian Dennehy, who encouraged him to continue acting at a movie premiere after party. Oswalt also spoke of how miserable he was that night because he was on a diet and unwilling at first to partake in any of the food. That said, his resistance eventually breaks down and he begins shoveling food in his mouth (very much unlike his character in the film) and feeling terrible about himself when all of a sudden, Brian Dennehy, as if he had seen Oswalt looking miserable, joins him and exclaims loud enough for everyone in the room to hear, "CHARACTER ACTORS! Who gives a fuck if we're fat?!" As he proceeds to join Oswalt in chowing down on the food. Dennehy plays Django, Rémy's father.

Villain Has a Point: Skinner is justifiably angry when he catches Linguini "cooking" since these dishes are prepared at professional standards and one screw-up could cost the restaurant another star. He tells Linguini to get rid of Rémy because if it was found out that there was a rat in the kitchen, Gusteau could be closed down. He is ultimately proven right when the health inspector orders the restaurant shut down due to a rat infestation. He also has every right to be suspicious of the claim that [[spouler:Linguini is Gusteau's son]], considering he shows up to apply for a job less than a month before the will's deadline expires.

Gaslighting: Chef Skinner is under the impression that Linguini is doing this — trying to make him see a phantom rat everywhere after he ordered the rat killed. "Am I seeing things, am I crazy, is there a phantom rat or is there not, but oh, no! I refuse to be sucked into his little game..." There actually is a rat, however, and Linguini isn't trying to gaslight him. He is, however, suffering a Sanity Slippage because of seeing the rat, but not being able to catch Linguini with him.

Rémy found out Linguini was Gusteau's son (which in turn led to Linguini becoming Gusteau's new owner) because of Émile telling his friends Rémy could steal from the food storage room for them.

Skinner, the current head chef at Gusteau's. He is arrogant, ill-tempered, and diminutive, ruling the kitchen with an iron fist. When he catches Linguini adding ingredients to a soup, he threatens to draw and quarter him.

Snooty Haute Cuisine
 Ratatouille / int_7c82a67c
comment
Snooty Haute Cuisine: While Chef Gusteau worked to convey the message that "anyone can cook", he never says anyone can cook haute cuisine and the movie does showcase that French Cuisine Is Haughty. While the restaurant Gusteau's is shown to have lost a star (technically two), it should be noted that, in the French rating system, a restaurant receiving even a single star is considered to be a shining example of haute cusine and the residents of Paris clearly flock to Gusteau's because of its reputation for fine dining. Anton Ego is the personification of the snobby eater who feels that only haute cuisine could come close to meeting the exacting standards of their palate. This is best demonstrated by Ego's taste for Chateau Cheval Blanc, an extremely expensive vintage. Even the signature dish of ratatouille falls under this trope. While ratatouille is generally a simply-prepared, provincial, peasant dish, the version created in the film is a glorified haute cuisine version called confit byaldi that takes about four hours to prepare.

Small Role, Big Impact: Solene LeClaire, the food critic who inadvertently tries Remy's soup. She only appears in one scene where she says one word and never interacts with Remy or Linguini, but her rave review of Remy's soup convinces Skinner not to fire Linguini and kickstarts Remy and Linguini's alliance. Git the rat is a minor character, but because Emile told him about Remy's food, he got Remy to steal food from the kitchen. This causes Remy to discover the documents in Gusteau's office that prove Linguini is Gusteau's son, in turn resulting in Linguini ousting Skinner from the restaurant.

Never Mess with Granny: The little old lady whose house the rats are living in at the start of the film seems like a regular person. She's aware she might have a rat problem and uses rat poison like anyone else would but otherwise pays it little mind. When she finds a rat in her house however, her first instinct is to pull out a freaking shotgun and begin blasting holes everywhere. When her ceiling collapses and she's confronted with the full extent of the infestation she busts out a gas mask and poison gas she just happened to have lying around. And to top it off, despite terrifying the swarm into fleeing forever, she hunts them down to the river with her shotgun determined to kill as many of them as possible!

comment
Reality Is Unrealistic: Invoked in-universe by Linguini when he defends Rémy, and explains that the rat is the real cook while he has no actual talent. As he points out, "I know it sounds insane, but, well the truth sounds insane sometimes!" Sadly, it just wasn't enough.

Squirrels in My Pants: Linguini's first attempt to carry Rémy around in the kitchen results in the rat slipping in his uniform and the boy drawing lots of attention with his gyrations. It gets worse when Linguini starts slapping Rémy inside his clothes in frustration, and the latter retaliate by biting.

Truth in Television: The rants Colette gives to Linguini regarding what it takes to be an effective and successful chef could have come, word for word, from any chef in the world who has ever had to take a brand new cook in hand and change him from a kitchen-halting speedbump into a frictionless part of the kitchen machine. And given the participation of Chef Thomas Keller in this movie, they most likely did. Yes, Chefs are really that strict in restaurants, considering you have to be on the constant move to get orders done and make sure customers are happy with it as well. High-class restaurants even moreso. Also the part of Colette had it way more difficult than any of the male cooks to get into a star-prized restaurant as Gusteau's is very true, since female chefs are rare, especially in France.

Didn't Think This Through
 Ratatouille / int_8d0785d5
comment
Didn't Think This Through: Linguini has a tendency to make impulsive decisions without thinking of the potential consequences: When he accidentally knocks the soup over on his first day as a cleaner, Linguini's first instinct is attempting to fix the soup — even though he doesn't know how to cook — by watering the pot down and haphazardly filling it with random ingredients. The resulting soup tastes horrible, and had Rémy not fixed it, Linguini likely would have been fired for food tampering. After their Plot-Mandated Friendship Failure, Linguini throws Rémy out of the restaurant, even though he can't cook by himself. Naturally, this lands him in trouble the following day, as he's unable to cook anything until Rémy comes back.

Laser-Guided Karma: Skinner gets a lot of this as the movie goes on. He tries to keep Gusteau's will from Linguini in the hopes of keeping the restaurant for himself and intends on firing Linguini — Gustaeu's son and the rightful owner of the restaurant — once it expires. When Rémy finds the documents and gets them to Linguini despite Skinner's efforts, Skinner ends up fired and kicked out of the restaurant himself. After being kicked out of the restaurant, he is treated like a pest by his former staff the same way he treated Rémy. Late in the movie, Skinner traps Rémy in a cage and intends to force him to develop a new line of frozen foods in retaliation for Rémy getting him fired. After being freed, Rémy returns the favor when Skinner bursts into the kitchen during the dinner service by trapping him in the freezer — alongside the health inspector Skinner tried to call earlier in the movie — until the service is over.

Foreshadowing: As Rémy is running through walls, he passes an arguing couple with the woman holding the man at gunpoint. The gun goes off near Rémy, who runs back to investigate. The man forces the gun from the woman's hand and they start kissing. Colette and Linguini initially start off like this, with Linguini intimidated by Colette, and Rémy creates a similar situation between them, as Linguini falls on Colette, kissing her as she pulls a mace spray on him. Linguini gets Distracted by the Sexy on his first night in Gusteau's when Colette passes by him. The two end up falling in love later in the film. Skinner says after Linguini traps Rémy in a jar that of anyone found out the restaurant had a rat in the kitchen, they would be shut down. Sure enough, when word does get out at the end that Gusteau's had the rat colony in it, the restaurant is closed down. During the training montage, Colette shouts to Linguini that "You cannot be Mommy!" In the end, Anton gets served a dish and guess who it reminds him of? Linguini mentions ratatouille while drunk in the scene with Skinner. At the end, when Ego comes to Gusteau's again, Rémy cooks the dish for him. It also forms the name of the bistro in the final scene. During the dream sequence involving Ego, Linguini asks what he would like and is dressed as a waiter, not a chef. During the climax, Linguini takes on the role of waiter while Colette and Rémy prepare Ego's meal.

Technician/Performer Team-Up: Collette is an experienced Technician chef who follows recipes exactly as instructed while Rémy's Performer aspect has him creating based on taste and smell, which makes them an excellent pair when they prepare Ego's Ratatouille dish together. This partnership continues after they open "La Ratatouille" together at the end of the film.

Rousing Speech
 Ratatouille / int_aaece264
comment
Rousing Speech: An inverted example occurs when Linguini tries to inspire the cooks to make a 5-star-inducing dish for the harsh food critic Anton Ego. He fails to inspire anything but confused glances and yawning. Colette ends up doing the work for him with two sentences. A Double Subversion occurs at the end of the film. When Linguini reveals Rémy to the rest of the kitchen and tells them that if they have faith in this rat's culinary genius, they will all have a glorious future; they all promptly quit. However, Rémy's family is moved by Linguini's speech, decide to help out and do the cooking.

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Skinner is preparing to test Linguini's cooking mettle but the boy is a horrible cook. Before this happens, Skinner notices Rémy discreetly trying to escape the restaurant and sets the whole kitchen on him. Once captured, Skinner orders Linguini to take the "rat" away and kill him at a discreet location. This allows Rémy and Linguini to form a cooking team that saves Linguini's job and establishes him as a notable chef in the restaurant.

Oh, Crap!: Rémy and Émile early on when Mabel wakes up and starts firing at them with a shotgun. Rémy and Émile when Mabel is about to shoot the latter while he's hanging from a light. Thankfully she was out of cartridges. Rémy when he ends up in a pot that's about to be put in an oven. He leaps out a second before the door closes. Rémy when he realizes that Linguini is watching him fix the soup. The Depth of Field blur even vanishes at that moment. Skinner, when he realizes Linguini's soup has left the kitchen. Two at the same time. Skinner gets one when he sees Rémy trying to escape out the kitchen window (fearing for the restaurant's reputation), and Rémy as well when he realizes Skinner has seen him and alerted everyone else to his presence. Linguini has one when he accidentally knocks the jar Rémy is in into the river Seine. He then dives in after him to rescue him. Rémy and Linguini when Skinner encounters them in the pantry, before Linguini turns off the lights and hides Rémy under his hat. Rémy gets a second one a moment later when Linguini's about to crash into the waiter. When Linguini is about to reveal Rémy to Colette, Rémy forces Linguini to kiss her. Colette (understandably) pulls a can of mace on him and his half-terrified (the mace), half-ecstatic (the kiss) look is an animation feat. Skinner after he reads Renata's letter and learns Linguini is Gusteau's son. Skinner when he sees Rémy in his office with Gusteau's will and Renata's letter in his mouth and again when Colette presents Gusteau's will and informs him that Linguini is now the owner of the restaurant. Rémy, after Émile accidentally blows the rats' cover during the raid Rémy orchestrated on the kitchen. Both Skinner and the health inspector get a moment after barging in the kitchen and seeing all the rats.

What You Are in the Dark
 Ratatouille / int_afc6df04
comment
What You Are in the Dark: Skinner fails this. He finds out that Renata's letter reveals that Linguini is Gusteau's son, but she just wants him to hire the boy and give him a stable job. The right thing to do would be to give Gusteau's massive fortune to his legitimate child, rather than leaving it with his second-in-command. Skinner verifies with his lawyer via DNA test if this is true, and on finding out it does, he plans to wait until Linguini misses the window to claim his inheritance and then fire him so no one is suspicious. Unsurprisingly, Linguini and Colette agree to fire Skinner after they find out the truth and claim his inheritance in time. In contrast, Ego passes this test beautifully. When Rémy's ratatouille dish impresses him, he agrees to wait after hours to meet the real chef when Linguini and Colette tell him they didn't cook it. Then he finds out the whole wild story and sees evidence firsthand that a rat can cook and puppeteer humans. Does he discredit Gusteau's? Tell scientists about this breakthrough between human and rodent communications? No. Instead, he writes a rave review of the meal and acknowledges that the chef there is the best in town and he looks forward to trying more. Later, he helps fund the new restaurant that Colette and Linguini start and happily keeps their secret.

Everyone Has Standards: Talon, Skinner's lawyer, knows full well of and seems to support Skinner's frozen foods sold in Gusteau's name. He also advises him to wait for the deadline of the will to pass and then fire Linguini. But even he seems to be unnerved of his client's conspiracy rant, especially when he keeps talking about the rat. He seems to think Skinner was starting to go insane, wondering out loud if he should be concerned about him.

Both Sides Have a Point
 Ratatouille / int_c02f148d
comment
Both Sides Have a Point: Rémy admits that he and his dad have different viewpoints on the food they take from humans and he can understand Django's perspective. Django says that taking garbage is better than risking their lives in the kitchen. His reasoning is that humans throw out garbage rather than protect it personally, and they don't have a chance to be picky what with the world wanting to kill them. He shows Rémy a ratcatcher shop where rodent bodies are mounted in the window, saying that it's why rats need to keep a low profile. Rémy believes, on the other hand, that it's stealing because humans often make things rather than take them, and he wants to earn his way to a good meal rather than stay a scrounger. He tells his dad that what they put into their bodies and minds has an impact and they have a choice to do better. What's more, the only way to move past being a body display for a ratcatcher is to fight for change, and be willing to risk your life for it. They come to a compromise at the end; Django sees Linguini standing up for Rémy and realizes that not all humans are bad, agreeing to help his son in the kitchen. Rémy in turn admits that his dad may have been right when a rat infestation gets Gusteau's closed, that sometimes having a low profile is pragmatic. The rats at the new Ratatouille restaurant are proper patrons, paying for their food, but staying hidden from the human populace. Django also admits he's proud of Rémy for sticking to his guns.

Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male: Colette hits Linguini in the face on several occasions when she is upset with him. He never complains and she is still presented as completely sympathetic throughout the film. She also stabs knives through his sleeves and threatens to kill him if he doesn't keep his station clean. While her actions were consistent with the way we see Skinner treat his kitchen staff, it's unlikely he would get away with doing the same to her.

Irony: When Anton Ego comes in to review Gusteau's he initially tells the Maitre d' that he wants to order some perspective. When Rémy prepares the elegant "confit byaldi" version of ratatouille, the magnificent tastes transport Ego back to his childhood when it was lovingly served to him by his mom. When he writes his review he reflects on the caustic nature of the critic and how easily they can destroy those who dare to create. He also admits that he now fully understands Gusteau's motto "anyone can cook". The meal, it seems, has given him considerable perspective.

Artistic License – Awards: French cuisine has traditionally been rated by the Michelin Guide. Although the film says Gusteau's was a five star restaurant and lost two stars, the Michelin rating system actually only goes to three. The stars are meant to highlight truly outstanding restaurants as most listed in the guide are fine, respectable establishments but don't have any stars. A restaurant receiving even a single star is considered to be a shining example of haute cuisine.

Conscience Makes You Go Back: Once Linguini realizes Rémy can understand him and even help him keep his job, he says "Okay, I'm going let you out now. But we're together on this. Right?" When Rémy nods his head in agreement, Linguini releases him from the jar only for Rémy to immediately flee into the night. As he runs away, he turns to see Linguini wet, forlorn and defeated, Rémy has a change of heart and returns. After Linguini reveals Rémy to his staff, all of them abandon him. However, after remembering Gusteau's motto of "Anyone can cook", Colette returns to help them.

Nightmare Face: Doubles as a Freeze-Frame Bonus.

One article has a photo of him that was obviously taken when he was unprepared. However, the blank look on his face coupled with wide eyes and solid black irises gives him a creepy, undead vibe. Check it out here.◊

Slap-Slap-Kiss: Rémy briefly witnesses a particularly extreme (though plot-irrelevant) one — the woman is pointing a gun at the man and threatening to shoot him. Rémy keeps running, but after a shot is fired into the ceiling near him, he does a Double Take and runs back — they're now kissing. Colette starts out as a hardcore lady chef trying to get ahead in a system whose rules were written by a male-dominated hierarchy, and Skinner assigns Colette to be Linguini's mentor after she spares him from being fired. Later on, Colette thinks that Linguini is ignoring him when he was actually cooking in his sleep, and just when Linguini is about to tell Colette his secret, Rémy pulls on Linguini's hair and he accidentally kisses her, with a romantic relationship blossoming between the two of them.

While she reloads, they make their escape.

Also the chef team of Gusteau's. Colette spends time telling Linguini all about them because he's as much of a realized chef as the rest of them (or so she thinks). But when he reveals that the secret to his cooking was a rat tugging his hair the whole time, they all wordlessly threw off their aprons and left. Colette as well, but came back to help at the last minute.

Technician Versus Performer
 Ratatouille / int_ef3d1b57
comment
Technician Versus Performer: Because of Skinner's iron-fisted rule of the kitchen, Colette is an experienced Technician forced to follow Gusteau's recipes to the letter. Rémy is the Performer creating dishes driven by his sense of smell and taste. During the preparation of Ego's Ratatouille dish they make a great team as they pool their skills together, especially as Colette is finally given permission to improvise.

Under Strange Management
 Ratatouille / int_f1b5590c
comment
Under Strange Management: After Gusteau's restaurant gets shut down, Linguini opens his own place. He has to admit to food critic Anton Ego that he is hopelessly out of his depth as a chef; the real culinary genius is Remy the rat, whom Linguini keeps under his toque. Further, almost the entire kitchen staff is composed of rats, taking direction from Remy. Surprisingly, this works out so nicely that Ego agrees to keep Linguini's secret.

Earn Your Happy Ending: Colette often mentions that she has to fight tooth and nail to gain respect as a chef, which is why she gets irritated about Linguini supposedly surpassing her. Once she gets over finding out that it was Rémy actually doing the cooking, she and Rémy start working together as a team. When Skinner and the health inspector closedown Gusteau's; Linguini and Colette open a new restaurant and she becomes the head chef and boss in the kitchen as evidenced by her calling Rémy back to work.

Impossibly Delicious Food: Rémy's ratatouille is so good that Ego freezes with wonder at the first bite. When Skinner sees Ego starting to happily eat the rest of the dish, he tries it and is so surprised by the taste he breaks his facade and immediately storms into the kitchen demanding to know who prepared it.

Friend Versus Lover: Though Linguini initially goes along with Rémy without question, after hooking up with Colette, he begins to prioritize her over Rémy to the point of repeatedly discarding his instructions in favor of hers. At one point, during a bout of Acquired Situational Narcissism, Linguini even goes as far as to completely discard Rémy and say that Colette is the reason he's so good at cooking instead, causing them to fall out.

Buffy Speak: Linguini, tired of the hair-ionette treatment, tells Rémy: "I'm not your puppet! And you're not my puppet... controlling... guy!" "Appetite is coming and he's going to have a big ego! I mean Ego! The critic! He's coming! And he's going to order!... Something... from our menu! And we're going to have to cook it! ...Unless he orders something cold!" "And don't forget to stress its Linguini-ness." And a mushroom zapped by lightning creates a taste that's "lightningy". "[Linguini]'s toying with my mind like a cat with a ball of... something!"

Pet the Dog: It's mentioned offhand that Skinner respects Colette's opinion, recognizing her as a good chef. They have a few nights a week where they have a chat after the dinner rush, according to the chef that teases Colette when Skinner invites Linguini for a chat instead. In fact, this is why Skinner decides to give Linguini a chance to prove himself because Colette vouched for him and pragmatically pointed out it would look bad if they fired a garbage boy that made a review-worthy soup.

Shown Their Work
 Ratatouille / int_ffad4e9f
comment
Shown Their Work: The producers got authentic Culinary Badass Thomas Keller, acknowledged by damned near all other professional chefs to be the greatest American chef alive right now, who owns and runs several high quality restaurants (he's the only chef in America to earn a three-star rating for two separate restaurants simultaneously) and is the author of several high-caliber cook books, to show how the craft works, and used Colette's mentoring montage to show that research off. That sequence serves not only to establish verisimilitude in the story, but also to develop Colette's character and encourage the heroes' and the audience's respect for her. Look closely at what Rémy does with Linguini's toilet bowl soup — not all the stuff he's tossing in his readily recognizable, but the stuff that is (dressing, cream, shallots, etc.) more or less is turning it into a tomato bisque. They also actually cooked some of the recipes used in the movie themselves, so that they could accurately render how foodstuffs look and react when being prepared via various cooking techniques. The ratatouille variant that Rémy prepares for Ego at the end was invented for the film. The traditional Provençal dish takes chunks of fried veggies and stews or bakes them in a casserole; slicing the vegetables into rounds and baking them in the oven is a variant called confit byaldi, invented in the late 1970s as a diet-friendly nouvelle cuisine variation of the old favorite. Moreover, the specific version prepared on-screen—involving two sauces (a piperade and a vinaigrette) and a different presentation are entirely Keller's. (A version of the recipe was published to go with the publicity for the movie. — be warned that it takes a long time to make if you don't have a brigade of sous-chefs or helpful rats behind you.) If one looks closely, one can see that the chefs have small burn scars on the underside of their forearms. When cutting vegetables while controlling Linguini, Remy uses the back of the knife to scrape the pieces off the board, considered the correct way to do it to avoid damaging the knife's edge. One of the animators jumped into a pool wearing a chef's uniform, so they could accurately render what such a uniform would look like soaking wet. When Skinner gets Linguini drunk, special attention is paid to how both hold their wine glasses: Linguini, who doesn't drink much, incorrectly holds the glass by its bowl; Skinner holds it by the stem, which is considered correct, as heat from the hand won't transfer to the wine and warm it too much. Even the rats' social structure appears to have been researched, as they are accurately described as a "colony" rather than a swarm or pack, and Rémy's father comes across as more of a foreman on a job site than a commander or monarch, as befits rats' very fluid group dynamics. It's a subtle point, but when Anton Ego, Linguini, Colette and Remy abandon Gusteau's to open a sidewalk bistro, they had a lot of company: at the time, a lot of famous French chefs were moving away from the signature restaurant model and into these sidewalk bistros, which proved immensely popular in Paris. Thomas Keller's restaurant, the French Laundry, also runs on this bistro model. Even the different accents are accurate. You'll notice Colette is the only French person working in the kitchen of a French restaurant. This is because high-end restaurants tend to seek out the best talent regardless of nationality or background. Colette herself lampshades that the other chefs she works with come from all walks of life. Meanwhile, the actors portraying the rats were all instructed to use their natural accents. Rats are very nomadic creatures, and by that logic, Pixar reasoned that they would be "citizens of the world" and not develop accents based on region.
