A rat named Remy dreams of becoming a great French chef despite his family's wishes and the obvious problem of being a rat in a decidedly rodent-phobic profession. When fate places Remy in the sewers of Paris, he finds himself ideally situated beneath a restaurant made famous by his culinary hero, Auguste Gusteau. Despite the apparent dangers of being an unlikely, and certainly unwanted, visitor in the kitchen of a fine French restaurant, Remy's passion for cooking soon sets into motion a hilarious and exciting rat race that turns the culinary world of Paris upside down.Written by

(at around 1h 7 mins) The food critic Anton Ego makes a remark about Chef Gusteau comparing him to Chef Boyardee as an insult.

However, it is possible that Ego has disdain for Boiardi, whose name has seemingly become known more for canned pasta and pizza kits than his own career, much like Gusteau's was becoming associated with frozen meals. See more »

Features one of my favorite animated movie moments of all time
Not only does Ratatouille do a fantastic job of portraying the joy of eating, but it also features one of my favorite animated movie moments of all time (the childhood flashback scene).
