Guy With Rat Phobia Finally Watches..... *Ratatouille* for the first time 

I remember being a kid and watching this movie with my sister who didn't like rats, what's funny is that now she has a pet rat

As a former rat owner, rats clean themselves very frequently, even more often than cats. Outside of households, rats aren't any more likely to get you sick than pigeons, crows, squirrels or any other animals that get around in similar environments. They still potentially can, of course, but so can many other animals in the wild.

Glad to see more reactions to animated movies! They aren’t just for kids. Even the ones aimed towards kids have subtle adult humor.

Funny story. Remy's voice actor is also a comedian by trade and profession. He got the job doing an iconic standup bit describing the endless amount of food at a restaurant. The director loved the delivery of how he described each food item that he instantly called him for an audition. It was Patton Oswald who also has a bit about ranting about Star War. He is a funny man.

This movie has always seemed like a real flex from the old Pixar. They had put out a string of iconic animated masterpieces, including a heart warming comedy about monsters exploiting children, and it just seems like somebody said something silly to Brad Bird at a party...like "LOL You folks have had so many hits, you had better be careful not to get too cocky...next thing you know you will try something insane like make a movie with rats as the main characters." And Brad Bird just replied..."Oh yeah?! Hold my beer!" 😜😂😁

Ego is a great antagonist. I hesitate to call him a villain. He embodies why critics even do what they do. They feel and love their chosen material so much that it can weigh on them. He shows a real possible perspective change that can occur when you encounter something unimaginably beautiful. In a word, he's a real one in a sea of cynical criticism made for clicks and shallow engagement. He saw something great and didn't back down declaring it's excellence in front of absolutely everyone. He's what every critic wishes they were. And provides an eyefull for what good ones do even in the face of backlash. Ego has a bit of a fandom with actual critics for showing them in a better light. That they're not all heartless monsters who thrive on crushing people for perceived slights.

I am such a big fan. I discovered your videos while going through cancer treatment. You have given me so much joy and laughter and I just wanted to thank you. Wishing you all the blessings of the new year for you and your family ❤

When I heard Leo say he has a phobia of rats I was waiting to see his reaction to 7:37 😂😂💀 didn’t disappoint

This is my favorite Pixar film. It’s incredibly done, and directed by Brad Bird. Same director who went on and directed both Incredibles films. If he’s behind the camera, it’s an automatic watch for me.

When I was a kid in the 80s, there seemed to be a lot of animated movies that had mice or rats featured as the main characters. My two favorites are "An American tail" and "The Secret of NIMH" 🔥

Professionally speaking there is a lot of very accurate things about food and kitchens in this movie ❤

Also the main theme of the movie, "Le Festin". The lyrics tell the story of a thief who wants to create and make things so he becomes a cook, a chef even. And the trails he went to get there. Word getting out and world turning inside out for him. Perfectly describes our Remy.

Anton Ego orders Cheval Blanc 1947 to drink- that's one of the rarest wines in the world. The stuff averages TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS A BOTTLE.

This and The Incredibles were my damn childhood. Such awesome movies from what is probably Pixar's golden age. Fun fact: Rats ,contrary to popular belief, are suprisingly clean animals as they clean/groom themselves and/or each other several times a day and don't transfer diseases or parasytes that cats and dogs can.

😂😂😂😂😂 watched on Patreon and I know his name is Remy but I can’t tell if you’re saying Remy or Lenny, you’re keeping up your reputation for getting names wrong 😂 , this was so much fun, Happy New Year Leo 🫶🏻💕🫶🏻

Dropping content left and right! Great Job Leo!

You look exactly like mr video!!! I was just watching him. And you were in the related videos!! Keep up the good work

Hi Mr V your spoiling us again. I voted for this it's great. Thanks for reacting. I don't like rats in real life but this one's cute. Once again Happy New year. Hope 2024 is a good year for you. Hugs for Bella and love to you and your family.❤

As a former Chef I absolutely love this cartoon. I've always been most at home in the kitchen and love the work of making a great meal. However when it came to restaurant jobs, I hated the work. It's a very thankless job with long hours, little pay, and customers can be horrible from a Chef/Cook's viewpoint.

Grandma had the shotgun and gas mask in case the Germans want round 3

I've got some stories about mice but I'll share my favorite. Had a mouse find my stash and ate my mushrooms. One night, my wife and I kept hearing weird noises and something bumping into the walls. Finally, we found a scared mouse, freaking out in the spare bedroom 😂😂😂 Probably had a bad night. We didn't want to mess with it while it was freaking out but we trapped it the next day and released it in the fields around our house.

In my angsty teen years (I just turned 52), I had several pet rats over about 5 years. Dexter, Drexel, Dude (he was clumsy - always falling off the counter or sink so I would always holler DUDE!), Daisy, Donald, Damien….

hey mr video, what are all these dime bags for? "oh, thats in case the rats wanna borrow some sugar" i love you man

Such a classic movie, one of the best animated movies of all time in my opinion

right now you and another one of my favorite channels are on a Pixar hot streak. love it

The idea with the cheese, particularly swiss with strawberry is the fat of the cheese with the sugar of the fruit, does stuff with your senses like combining acids, sugars and fats that stimulate your sense of smell and taste. Like peanut butter and chocolate, strawberries and cream, fries and your favorite dipping sauce.

I feel like Patton Oswald was the perfect person to voice Remy! He fits so well. Plus he later voiced Jesse in Minecraft: Story Mode!

33:09 that’s a lot of 🐀 when, stopping the health inspector’s 🚘.

Lmao 🤣🤣🤣 " wonder bread don't sound like that".

I would've never guessed you had a Rat phobia 😂😂😂 mine is "heights"

leo, the food was so bad in the beginning that rats (who DONT have a gag reflex) made remy gag😭😭

Leo: Ego swallows?! Me: Only if he likes it Leo, only if he likes it.

Brie and strawberries is absolutely heavenly.

Chef Skinner (the villain) is based on a very famous French actor, Louis de Funès. His acting style is remembered for its high-energy performance and his wide range of facial expressions and tics (cf wikipedia). An amazing comedian.

Some giant rats had been living in our garage many years ago and seeing them in the trap was a bit scary 😳.

saw this on patron, just here for the comment, love ya brotha

Happy NY Leo and all

Hey Leo! Good to see you again! Edit: you mind making a playlist for your movie stuff? It's very convenient when we go back and rewatch!

After watching this video, now I wanna re-watch this movie. 😹😸 One of my favorites from Pixar & still enjoy it. 😎👍

saw on patreon already , peak reaction as usual , please Treasure Planet for the next animated movie!

Im 50yrs old and this movie is still and always will be in my top 5 cartoon movies.

The title of this video had me cracking up!!! This bodes very well. 😂

Rats are my biggest phobia too and yet this is one of my favorite movies. That's amazing.

I'm a professional cook, I was talking with another younger cook and this movie is the reason he went to culinary school. It's a good movie.

I never knew until recently that "This heartbreaking story was not an invention. Pixar took inspiration from Bernard Loiseau, a gastronomical legend from France who died by suicide when he found out about a star that was going to be knocked off. Like Gusteau, Loiseau was also a pioneer in French cuisine, foodies would recognize the parallels."

cheese and fruit is such an amazing combination. try a coffee aged cheddar with lemon curd. its life changing.

Rat-Pa-Tuti… 🤣. Watch “Mouse Hunt” from 1997. Looking forward to your next movie reaction.

I've loved this film since I was a kid thanks for uploading this 👍👍👍👍👍

I’m also terrified of mice! (Musophobia) people always wonder why it’s nice to see someone who understands!

Your introduction made me spontaneously think: "Have you ever seen The Green Mile!?"

If you haven't seen it yet, there's a live-action movie called "Chef" that is very much worth a watch. It stars Jon Favreau as a restaurant chef who self-destructs and has to re-invent himself. It's got a great cast with a lot of cameos from people from various Marvel movies (Favreau played Happy, Tony Stark's bodyguard/chauffeur/assistant, but was also the guy who directed Iron Man). The first 20 minutes or so are a bit grim, because that's the destruction and low point, but after that it's a wonderful movie. I highly recommend it.

11:42 the crazy thing about that… is that rats can’t even gag!!! That soup was so freaking disgusting that it almost remy throw up! 😳

I once stepped on a mouse while walking to the store. I was just strolling along, minding my own business, when I stepped on something and heard a loud squeak. I kept walking for a moment, perplexed by what my neighbor's dog's chew toy was doing a few blocks away because the squeak sounded exactly the same. Then I turned around, and there was this mouse just staring back at me. Then I moved along, hoping that didn't hurt it too badly.

Something about reactions that are just satisfying

“Go get him some cereal he’ll be alright” 🤣🤣🤣

I'm disturbed by how great your rat impression was.

hahaha if I'm chillin in the crib and a rat comes up and speaks to me .. I'm calling my boy back and buying all of what he just gave me ........

When that chandelier fell. My flesh crawled off my flesh 😬

Oh shhhht lemme grab my popcorn real quick 🍿

0:44-1:00 lol hahahahahahaha!!!!!! Nah, for real though I have a rat phobia too. However, this is the film that made me appreciate what I taste. Thanks to Remy, I like to combine flavors for a tasty rhythm. Two things that were important to me growing up were my mom’s home-cooked meals and Pixar. I would eat whatever my mom would make for us. I always appreciated whatever she cooked, but seeing Anton flash back to his youth gave me an even greater appreciation for her cooking.

I've watched this movie so many times, one of my favorites.

Loved ur reaction. Btw, cheese can totally go with strawberries. I eat fruit salads with cheese on top and it's delicious.

The one fact makes all rodents disgusting is that with every step they take, they release a drop of pee. Anywhere a rodent has been, there’s pee!

So happy you conquered your fear of rats to watch this movie it's one of the best Pixar movies in my opinion 😄👏🏻💕🎥🐀

Great reaction, one of my favorite films

Keep it up i realy appreciate your vids man

Can't wait for Cars 3 and The Incredibles 2!

It's a shame rats get such a bad reputation. They can be very clean, curious and pleasant little creatures

Normal white cheese and strawberries is banging

This is one of my favorites ever! Good choice Leo! ❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦

You might not have noticed but at 9:46 that's Doug from up as the dogs shadow.

Uh…cheese with fruit is on almost every menu. Lol Plus-u ever had strawberry cheesecake?! Yum

U got sum here my boi💪🏾

I saw a cute video on RU-vid of this girl with a pet rat who would go and get her a tissue whenever she sneezed.

Leo I love this movie I have watched loads of times happy new year to you Leo

Strongly believe Gusto had his own rat, on one magazine cover featuring Gusto you can see a rat outline in his hat, with DNA testing they got the sons DNA from the wine glass and Gusto hair from his hat which came back as rodent hair. And finally the saying "Anyone Can Cook" I believe he lost his star to the restaurant because the rat died then he died from a broken heart because his rat friend passed.

Love all your reactions man! Don’t stop

Love you Leo! Happy New Year!

When you watch films about those that are living other than humans, it does promote empathy towards these creatures, however, as I was eating while watching your reaction, I still lost my appetite and the hair on my arms were standing during the scenes where there's a swarm of rats LOL. I welcome the awareness of how we should treat all living things around us but some things can't be changed coz these traits are far from reality in a set-up that is realistic (meaning there are no magic or anything that defies logic except the mouse being able to read and understand humans).

One Pixar’s greatest masterpieces

I have bat-phobia, but then I saw Batman cuz lol. But for real tho, love the reaction. And have a happy new year

Yo watch cars 3 i want you to react to that

U Are so funny man, i'm subscribing NOW xD

I wanna see Leo play A Plague Tale on the channel. 300,000 rats coming at him...

If you watch this as a WW2 era movie, it changes EVERYTHING.

Great reaction :D You should definitely check out The Lorax!!

This is an accurate presentation of the French 😊

This is a classic, 33:23 btw have you watched the live action movie of Sonic?
