I've never seen it, but I know my grandfather has a shotgun. He's a gun nut and if it's legal for civilians to own, he's probably got it. He even has an assault rifle.
I've never been so offended when you said that ratatouille is a soup lmao. Although the movie version isn't quite the real recipe it's still near the real deal. It's a blend of tomatoes, courgette ( or zucchini) and a few pepper thinly cut, it has some vegetables juice in the end but that's because those liberate some water usually
Well, what Rémy cooks in the movie is a tian : still authentic Provencal cuisine. I'm pretty sure the video was calling ratatouille a soup in jest... Or maybe provocation.
I also had a confused reaction to the soup declaration 😂 I was under the impression it was a stew, or a loose vegetable casserole. Thanks for clearing that up.
The amount of detail and heart put into this movie really makes it more than a movie. It is what the best films are, an experience. It is easily my favorite Pixar movie. A true masterpiece. I also especially love its intro. It really sets up a different tone than other Pixar movies.
I remember seeing in another comment that what Remi achieved in his ratatouille dish is, for many chefs the world over, a signature accomplishment. To make food that is so delicious and wonderful that it brings back wonderful memories, particularly of childhood, with a single bite. To quote Gordon Ramsey, “Food is on the plate for thirty seconds. It’s the flavor that seals the memory!” and in this movie and that particular scene it’s been proven right ten fold. Such a wonderful film.
another easy to miss detail: one of Ego's lines is "if I don't like it, I don't swallow" and throughout the movie, he's shown as almost uncomfortably underweight, but at the very end when you see him in Remy's restaurant, he's noticeably heavier because he's actually *eating* that food
That definitely explains the comment Linguini shoots at Ego during the press conference, and it makes the impact of Remy's dish that much more meaningful in how he's at a much healthier weight by the end. That's what I call Fridge Brilliance.
My favorite part as someone who had worked in the business. Was when Collette was going over the background of all the kitchen crew. It's the most accurate thing about the movie. Most high end restaurants have a motley crew of ex criminals, drug addicts and weirdos in the back who normally can't function in society but within the structure of a kitchen, work in sync to craft the perfect dining experience.
im just going through comments on this video and i want to say, i worked with alot of shady people in the kitchen - i even worked with someone who killed and chopped his neighbour with an axe and spent 20 years in prison - he was one of the most hardworking people in that kitchen, which solidify the statemenet of this movie, that a great chef can come from anywhere
I've heard of so many different animals not having gag reflexes that I can't help but imagine that the amount of animals that do have them can be counted on one hand.
This is one of those movies that doesn't even need a sequel It ended with quite a twist. Instead of Remy becoming a chef at Gusteau's, he becomes head chef in his own restaurant under secrecy, still being able to live his dream. Ego finally gets to taste real quality food he's long forgotten about, Linguini finally got himself a job he's good at, Collette gets treated with the respect she deserves, and the rats don't have to go hungry and be afraid of poison, now that's an ending
@@38procentkrytyk Ratatouille 2: Remy's Apprentice Set half a year after the last scene of Ratatouille, Remy is now an old rat and needs to teach his skills to one of the younger rats. I would go more into detail but at best it would be the same plot as Cars 3.
i feel like there’s a win missed in the learning-to-cook-properly montage: Collette introducing other staffs’ various not-so-glimmering back stories is like a foreshadowing of “A great artist could be from anywhere”
Also it’s accurate. I’m a chef who’s worked in kitchens for years and kitchen staffs have an assortment of people. From college kids trying to make their way, to students of the culinary arts, to reformed criminals. A kitchen is a space where anyone who is willing to work hard and show humility can thrive
Lalo ran away from home to join the circus and messed around with the ringmaster’s daughter, which got him fired. Horst did time for defrauding a major corporation, robbing the second largest bank in France using only a ballpoint pen, creating a hole in the ozone over Avignon, and killing a man. With THIS thumb! Pompidou got banned from Monte Carlo and Las Vegas for cheating at card games. Larousse ran gun for the resistance during WWII (which secretly gives us a post WWII possibly 1950s-60s timeline).
As someone who’s experienced the flashback of a dish from childhood, noticing that Ego’s face gets color back in it is a wonderful detail!! The warmth comes from your chest and quickly makes its way to your cheeks and your ears grow warm, it’s a wonderful feeling :)
@@reikun86 actually it mays seem like a lot but they earned it and are present in every high end restaurant beside 2,250 for 7 pieces is actually not that much considering how much those restaurants make
Just like UP, this is one of those movies that doesn't need a sequel. It's perfect all by itself. Not good for studio business who like to 'milk' a franchise dry these days.
@@monikakavaliunaite8017 I don't know where you got that info, but Pixar has not said anything about a sequel for neither UP or Ratatouille. And Brad Bird himself said that the story is already told
@@monikakavaliunaite8017 Hmm I see. Seems to be more of a spin-off show rather than a proper sequel. But hey I'm a Pixar sucker so I'll probably watch it
*Fun Trivia:* -Showing devotion to art, one of the animators actually jumped in a pool while wearing a chef's outfit, so they could animate it properly. -To make sure things were as accurate as possible, Pixar brought in Thomas Keller, the greatest chef in America and one of the greatest in the world, to help with the film. The producer interned at his restaurant, The French Laundry, and asked Keller how he would prepare ratatouille if the biggest food critic in the world were to visit his restaurant. Keller invented the version seen in the film, his own version of a variant known as "confit byaldi." -Colette mentions having had to work extra hard to reach her position because she's a woman. This is a sad fact of the industry, particularly in France. Yet as soon as Ego sees her, he assumes she's the one who prepared the dish... because the greatest chef he ever knew was his mother.
Another win: Remys movements, when he is on all four, is so much like a rat. Same with his ears twitching, nose moving, his fast breathe and his tail. I only noticed this after owning rats myself, he just straight up has characteristics like some of my boys. So many movies with animals as a main character don't take into account how these animals move so it was actually so amazing to see a movie focusing on little behaviours that real rats do
I assume that the animators studied some rats and mice so they can accurately depict how mice and rats move and act since when Disney did the Lion King (particularly the first movie but I think they did the same thing with the sequel) the animators studied real lions in Africa when they were animating the Lion King so I don’t think it’s far fetched that Pixar studied some rats and mice for this film! :) Edit- I also want to say the same thing with Bluesky with their movie “Rio” because I own a cockatiel and a macaw at home and the way the birds move and act is pretty accurate on how real birds act (like flying, squawking, and walking) is on point ya know?
@@moonbased7796 As a Disney nerd I just have to point out that Walt himself started the entire "studying the animal you're supposed to draw" thing back in the day when making "Bambi"... Disney pretty much have done with this every movie when they had to draw animals. For example for "Brother Bear" they watched two bear cubs playing in their studio... It's one of the things that just make Disney movies feel that much realer and make them come to life...
@@nataliamidzio I dont understand the reference to that reference thats talking about another reference about you not under standing a reference to a reference to another reference then the first reference about this *R e f e r e n c e*
You missed a win: Despite Colette voicing how much misogyny she had to fight to get where she is, Ego doesn't think twice about her being the Chef (he's wrong of course, but his reaction at the idea is one of delight rather than incredulity). And this makes perfect sense, since the best cook he ever knew was a woman: his mother.
10:14 The inclusion of the "oH" that real Africans place at the end of phrases to emphasize something or express general distress is such an AMAZING touch here
I've always seen this as sort of a subtle tribute to Bob Ross, just with cooking instead if painting. Afterall, his iconic catch phrase was "anyone can paint".
So no one is gonna talk about how he casually mentioned that his son is getting a little sibling? Those are such wonderfull news and i am so happy for you, also this is one of my fav animated movies, one of the reasons why i got into that field of work in the first place
"The average piece of junk being more meaningful than the criticism designating it so" seems like a close sentiment to the CinemaWins ethos, which I absolutely love
@@EternalSushiMusic To be fair, CinemaSins took the comment in good humor. He knows exactly what his channel is, and he isn't going to pretend otherwise.
8:39 My native language is French, and I gotta say, although his french accent is very accurate during the whole movie, this "everywhere" is especially spot-on.
I felt that and the fact that it was the late 2000s and the 2010s would be a great decade of change. Forward is the only way to go especially with parents not liking ur major or who u are
Also, no other movie has made me hate a character so much just for me to care deeply towards the very end. The voice actor for Ego (appropriate name btw) is truly a national treasure
It’s a shame he passed away 6 years after the film came out, not only did Peter O’Toole pass away, but also Ian Holm (Skinner) who passed away last year.
"Ratatouille is a soup"... my grandma would be severly kicking your arse right here 😊 So we're not exactly south french (were the dish come from) but she's still been making it for over 50 years and it's time for a precision lesson : a ratatouille is a sort of pot thing. If I found liquid in mine I'd be worried haha
@Nick Fanchette well it's not exactly a stew either x) we french take pride in our cooking recipe we don't refer a meal as what it seems rather than what it is so a ratatouille is neither a stew or a soup it's a ratatouille wich as he's one property
@Nick Fanchette I mean, I get where you're coming from, and you could argue that the ratatouille the mom makes in the flashback counts as a vegetable stew, but a stew normally has no structure to it, and ratatouille is all about the structure. That coupled with the fact that it goes into the oven, which a stew doesn't either, I'd rather call it a baked dish.
J'avoue avoir tiqué aussi!! IT'S NOT A SOUP, IT'S ✨Ratatouille✨. Je pense qu'on peut considérer ça comme une variation d'un ragoût de légumes (eh encore?) Mais définitivement pas une soupe 😅
I also love how Ego in the end is less emaciated and more fattened. "If I don't like it, I don't swallow." He likes everything Remy makes and never liked anything from any other restaurant before, hence his near-statved physique. It's a perfect echo of his entire outlook on life. Once you criticize everything, there's no enjoyment anymore but now that his entire worldview has been shattered by Remy's reveal, suddenly he's far happier and more fulfilled. Instead of critiquing everything in life he now enjoys everything in it.
I loved how when Skinner asks Linguini if he ever had a rat for a pet, Linguini honestly says "no" because he sees Remy as more of a friend and cooking partner
This is further nailed by the fact that Linguini was thoroughly intoxicated in the scene. And drunk people tend to be very honest, sometimes to a fault.
One thing that is a possible theory, the house the rats were above was Ego's mother. A few details can be seen that show the exact same thing for each, and also showing how Remy got the recipe the way he likes it
I actually think it is more likely for it to be his grandmother, because I feel like his mother must have died, making Ego so grim, unable to have his mother’s precious food anymore.
People talking about how Ratatouille is 10 years old... Of course it took cinemawins 10 years to fit eveything great about this masterpiece in under 20mins
I am amazed that when Linguini turned off the light in the storage room he was actually still being animated, picking Remy up and stuffing him into his hat..never would have expected the animators to care
Well if you know Paris well enough you know it's far less romantic and much more stuffy than the movie pretends it to be. I want it for a fact that they never take either the Subway or the RER (local train service), the only transportations modes possible for Paris. Also I struggle to pinpoint where hte restaurant is supposed to be: it obviously has to be close by 1st arrondissement, because Remi can just walk to view the Eiffel tower and the Seine (name of the river). However these kind of restaurants and buildings would be more akin to the Quartier Latin and the Rue Sufflot nieghbourhood (near the Senate and Luxemburg Parc). But that's miles away from the Eiffel tower. I guess he just took some transportation means. Pardon my ramblings, it feels very weird to see your city depicted in animation ^^
@@Cancoillotteman yeah i know i know. Living in Grenoble myself, but I had my fair bit of Paris :D just the statement is true, the art is but an imitation of the great city
I recently discovered a theory which states that Ego's mother, the one who cooked the ratatouille, is actually the grandma from the beginning. Which explains why Ego is so touched by the dish, it's because it IS his mother dish. You can compare the views of the house between the beginning and the flashback, there's a lot of similarities.
@@somepersonmcsomebody7501 maybe the dad was tall and it was a 50/50 chance of wether he was tall or short and he got the tallness instead of the shortness
Me: *thinking about Ratatouille* Cinemawins: Everything GREAT About Ratatouille! *posted 15 minutes ago* Me: The internal machinations of my mind is an enigma.
Egos monologue has such an effect on me in a way that i cannot describe. It gives off a feel that anything can become great even if it is just your general piece of junk. Everytime i hear that monologue i end up nearly crying because of the profound message and feeling it gives. It shall forever be my favourite monoligue
When I saw this movie as a kid, I noticed that Remy combined a piece of cheese with a strawberry. So I tried it. Vermont Sharp and Strawberries have been a staple of my snacks ever since. It's stupid good.
@@rogueguardian Well, good cheeses should have a certain degree of flavorful saltiness to them. And strawberries release more sweetness with salt. Combined with the milky aspect of the cheese (depending on which type) and you'd be in for a delightful treat.
Although the Internet's websites would like to dispute this fact, we know the truth. The best content in the world is made on RU-vid. The best content on RU-vid is made on CinemaWins. And the best content on CinemaWins, some say, is made by Lee.
0:28 So I just wanted to point out the insane little detail of the old timey television- that ringing frequency. They captured that so damn well. My mum's still got got a new mode of that in her room- and every time I come over it just- gives me a headache :'D Props Pixar. Yall did good. Attention to detail never disappoints.
Apparently that high pitch range is the first part of a person's hearing that stops working as they get older. Most of the people over 35 that I've talked to about it say they can't hear that noise at all and haven't been able to since they were younger.
Ratatouille is Pixar’s Mona Lisa in terms of story, just overall animation and story, also the tone that’s what really makes this movie amazing. Watching this when I was 8 compared to now when I’m 17 is such a big difference.
I always liked it as a kid but now I am able to appreciate it in a whole new way. Especially Ego's monologue just hits differently and now I can see the depth of the movie.
I'm 67 and I've watched it about 7 times and it always entrances me . it's kind of a metaphor for everyone trying to make a dream happen and roadblocks being thrown innyour way no matter how garden you try .
One of the things I like about the dish Ratatouille in the context of this film is that its represents the theme (which is why I think the title suits it well, plus the pun). Ratatouille is not some fancy, high-end dish, its a stew-type meal that "peasants" make (hence the cut to the French countryside, this is something they probably had all the time). But despite this the Ratatouille that Remi makes is still delicious and something new. Much like Remi, the dish comes from humble origins, but can still become something special.
You didn't mention my favorite part: Ego drops the pen in slo-mo, and it lands with a mighty sound. One of the few times in adulthood I laughed out loud in a theater.

hello how about "Everything Great About "Rise Of The Guardians"" next?
People should finally realise CinemaSins is a comedy channel and doesn't want to be taken seriously... They intentionally nitpick, make up problems and ignore good things. I get if you don't find them funny but they are just having fun.
@@szabok1999 but most people who watch cinemasins don’t watch them for “comedy” meaning they truly base their opinion of the film off the videos, which is problematic
@szabok1999 but when cinemasins does have points they want you to take seriously and then say it's all "satire" the joke gets muddied and lost and then people believe it's all valid criticism and start shitting on perfectly good films, plus it's not like they are shouting out on every video "it's a joke" and I have legit met people who thought that Cinemasins was the epitome of Critique.
Ego's flashback to his childhood home shows several similarities to the old woman's house at the beginning suggesting that was his mother. ...and Congratulations!!!
I saw this too and I’m kind of surprised it wasn’t mentioned because it could be that Remy saw how to cook through the mother’s cooking. It would’ve made a whole circle coincidence type of thing that’s super cool :)
"I don't 'like' food, I LOVE IT. If I don't love it I don't SWALLOW👿" to this day, one of the creepiest things I've ever heard in a Pixar movie. The delivery alone was...chilling
"Ratatouille is a soup" Me, a frenchman : SO YOU HAVE CHOSEN DEATH (It's a stew, not a soup. You don't liquify the vegetables to make ratatouille.) As for the accents? It's all around not perfect, but there are some good basics from Janeane Garofalo and Ian Holm (especially the latter). Garofalo mostly misses the french R (which actually sounds like the scottish/welsh CH and is pretty much NEVER skipped. Holm gets it right, however), but most of her vowels are good, and most importantly she has one of the big basics of french pronunciation that most shitty movie french "accents" don't get : french isn't accentuated. You pronounce every syllable and word in a sentence with the same level of tone.
To be fair, I find a lot of French people tend to gravitate towards an English accent, the more they learn the language, since that's the closest English speaking nation. To me, Janeane Garofalo sounds like a French person trying to mimic an English accent, but still has most of her French accent, which would explain things like why her R is slightly off. I only lived in France for half a year, and am far from an expert in the language, but I find the accent pretty convincing, and appreciate that she doesn't try to be too exaggerated.
@@davidmhh9977 well in France english class tend to make us learn Britain english not the american one so we usually go for this accent but for me and as some on my friend who learned english it's 95% based on video games,series,movie, american video so i have an american accent it really depends on where you learned your english i guess.
I have noticed that there are some who say her character sounds more like French-Canadian than actually *French,* so that could be a good reason for her accent.
13:25 something that i only caught rewatching this movie half a year ago: Ego was the sponsor of the restoraunt! i somehow never caught that line about him being successful in small business now
Another win: I feel like Colette is the first one to try helping Linguine because she saw her in him. Someone who didn't had confidence in herself to face it and do what she likes.
Man, I love this movie. Ego’s Flashback is one of my favorite scenes in all of cinema. Huh, for some reason I always thought that he had been beaten up while riding his bike, maybe cause at that time I was beaten up a lot at school.
I always thought he got bullied and immediately went home. And well, I get bullied. Maybe we were all made to relate to ego because of the lack of context
I think when Anton Ego flashes back to that memory he is not remembering how his mom cooked ratatouille but more of the moment where he decides that he loves food and Remy's cooking reminds him of why he started critiquing.
"I'm going to take a quick break to block every hole in my house" fun fact, while mice can fit through a dime gap rats have to have a quarter size. But rats can chew through concrete and mice can only do wood soooo... yeah. Block up those gaps with copper mesh and caulk (wish I wasn't speaking from mouse experience. In a BRAND NEW HOUSE no less, I thought that was something that only happened to old crumbling homes!).
As someone who works in a kitchen, "every second counts" and "making a dish like a mommy" are complementary. Spend every second you have making sure it is perfect.
it's a cute detail that Colette and Linguini both have big noses, I know most don't think of it specifically but it lets them stick out a little visually when it comes to most animated couples. Also it's the cutest ship ever because it doesn't feel like 'oh now I have nothing wrong with you because we accidentally touched hands once' ^'w'x
"That and being pregnant wil" EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE CONGRATULATIONS! LOVE YOUR CONTENT LEE! KEEP IT UP BUT TAKE ANY AND ALL TIME OFF YOU NEED YOU A-1 DADDY YOU!!!!!
Idk if anyone has mentioned this yet but in the scenes with the strawberry and cheese tasting the animator Michel Gange has synesthesia (most often associated with seeing music but in this case seeing taste) and based the art on what he was tasting which was then handed to the composer to make music from that art. In my opinion this is filmmaking working on all cylinders to make one perfect experience!
I think that ego himself is shaped like a coffin. It like wherever he goes he's going to "kill" the restaurant. This film is excellent, just like this video
This movie always brings me to tears because it helped spark my love for cooking in the kitchen with my family as a child. The scene with young Ego taking a taste of that Ratatouille reminds me of every time I eat my mom's cooking. I get taken back to days when I was sick in bed and my mom would take care of me, giving me oatmeal, toast sticks, and sweet cold tea made by my grandpa. This movie makes me smile and reminds me of just how much I love my mom. We watched it a lot when it first came out and it's one of our favorites. It's also one of the few movies I never grow tired of and feel personally connected to.
Ratatouille is honestly one my favourite movies. It just always makes me feel all warm and happy inside, just like the comfort food it builds its climax on. Great video!
As a French national, hearing the heavy french accent when someone is trying to speak english hurts my soul so I would rather watch the french version. That said the original actors are doing great and I get the accent helps make the movie feel realistic in a way...
That’s understandable! I’m glad you have a more positive outlook on the English version. Thanks for taking into account of how hard the actors tried. I have to watch the French version! I’ve never thought of watching it in French, thank you 💜
@@theartist312 The more recent Disney/Pixar movies often use celebrities to voice characters instead of accomplished voice actors so I'm basically always watching these movies in English now but some older ones did great in French
*Title says everything great about Ratatouille* So, literally everything then? This is my 2nd favorite Pixar movie next to the original Incredibles lol
