Hi Tim thank you so much for loving my comment but for some reason it was removed by my app glitch anyway thanks again. In case the comment is about Wolfgang Puck praising the accuracy of the French kitchen.
In truth, rats actually don't like getting dirty. They'll dig into the garbage and other nasty things to find food, but they'll immediately try to wash themselves clean afterwards. I find this really interesting.
I have two rats as pets and it is true. They don't, need baths, unless they have health issues. As long as I keep their cage clean, they don't smell gross or anything.
I love the line that says “Change is nature, the kind that we can influence. And it starts when we decide.” I still carry that with me everyday thanks to this movie.
Yep, his Dad points to bad things that happened in the past & says "this is the way things are." Remy says, no, that's just the way things WERE, but not how they have to be. He is willing to take a chance & do something new. Good shit
A lot of people consider this movie Pixar's greatest achievement, and, honestly, even though I have major nostalgia for some of their other films, i think they're right.
The irony is that Anton is not even a villain in this story. He is just doing his job, and he has extremely high expectations about good cuisine. The reason he is so gloomy and intimidating towards the chef world is because the standards have fallen so low (from his perspective) that no dish satisfies him anymore. That's quite sad and ironic for a gastronomy critic. He has to suffer disappointment after disappointment. Given that eating is one of the most wonderful and natural pleasures in life, no wonder why he is so bitter and depressed - as he puts it, he LOVES food.
Agreed. He loves food because it reminds him of one of the few good things he had as a poor kid before he became successful. It's only when he finds a humble chef who finally brings him back to his roots and touches him in the deepest reaches of his frozen heart that Ego finally remembers why he even became a food critic in the first place.
@@KashiKay Nya, what's interesting is that even Skinner wasn't a villain initially. In the first draft of the script, something similar to Anton's happens to Skinner. After Gusteau's death, the restaurant enters a crisis and the only way to keep it open is to license the image of his best friend in horrible pre-cooked products and that burns him inside. ("Our life was a dream, Gusteau. Why did they wake us up?" I remember reading that it was one of his lines in a key scene).After trying the ratatouille, he also has his own moment of realization, in which he remembers how much he enjoyed cooking with Gusteau, taking risks and innovating, which leads him to redirect his life. Heck, apparently even the health inspector had a mini plot where after hearing the story, as Anton does, he admits that the whole situation challenges his beliefs and dynamite his concept of the world, that it's going to be really difficult to change the general idea that people have about rats, but he wants to be part of the change that Linguini and Remy represent. All this would have lengthened the film a lot and therefore it was cut, but that is what was intended to happen and I find it very interesting that the first idea of the script was that the "villain" was preconceived ideas and emotional exhaustion.
Did you notice that Gusteau's spirit doesn't appear anymore after Remy said " Because I'm a cook " ? As a french girl, I'm glad you liked this movie. If you didn't understand why Colette called the ratatouille " a peasant dish " it's because it's not a gastronomic dish so normally it's not the typical dish you can eat in a restaurant like Gusteau's. Also, what Remy served to Ego isn't a ratatouille but a " tian de légumes " who's something else. The real ratatouille is the one Ego's mom cooked. Also, Ego's flash-back is what we called in France " une madeleine de Proust " (Proust's madeleine " in english) who's about something who reminds us our childhood. The origin of this expression is the writer Marcel Proust who said in one book that the madeleines' odor reminded him his childhood. Fun fact : the singer of the song is the voice of Colette in the french version
Ratatouille is essentially the same dish but it's arranged different right? And do people over there consider Ratatouille as a kids movie? Also what does le festin talk about cause I heard some people say it's depressing.
@@jake8243 it's also the difference in cooking methods and some spices if I remember well. And ratatouille is 100% a kid's movie and one of the best. Also Le festin is about romance and the will to achieve your dreams, hence it has this kinda nostalgic melody: life has ups and downs. But it's not depressing, the chorus is even really inspiring.
Fun Fact: Guy Savoy, a chef that mentored Gordon Ramsay, voiced acted a character in the French version of this film. And just by coincidence, that character that he voiced looks surprisingly like Ramsay.
I always cry when I see Anton ego's flashback of his mother making his ratatouille. I grew up in a family that loves food and cares significantly about good food. I was definitely spoiled. Lol. My father always told us to never settle for anything mediocre regarding food. Food is always comforting, and it always reminds me of home. Dinners with my family were (and still are) always one of the highlights of my day. Also, Linguini should have been a server from the start. He's so good at it!
That's true, it's funny the other humans believe Linguini is the "hero" of the story, but we know that's just an act. Once Remy is revealed Linguini is no longer the center of attention, so it is easy to not focus on the end of his character arc. He struggles to find a job, an identity, & find his path in life. He appreciates cooking, but lacks the talent to be a great chef, yet the whole world has expectations for him that he feels he can never meet. Once the truth is revealed, many people abandon him, but I think he was relieved. A huge weight was lifted. He doesn't have to live up to Gusteau's legacy. He quickly recognizes that he has something that HE can contribute to the restaurant for once. He found his own path, something he can be proud of. Good shit haha
Me too. I also break down watching the review scene. He knew that he was sacrificing everything he had worked for in his adult life, but he still went ahead and wrote what he did.
I love this film and the voice of Ego is legendary actor Peter O' Toole. Plus the detail of him saying "If I don't love it I don't swalow". When you see at the end he has put on a belly from eating good food.
You can also see the difference in his facial expressions at the end. His skin tone isn't so pale and he isn't so gaunt. And Peter O' Toole's voice just brings Ego's two sides to the table perfectly
Rosemary is a woody herb and is very hardy; it grows and spreads easily in the wild. A lot of the herbs we cook with are just that: wild plants that we discovered were edible. Many people plant rosemary and other herbs in their gardens to cook with and to make the yard smell nice. Saffron is a little rust-orange thread found in a crocus flower, I think. It’s the main flavoring in some Indian and Mediterranean cuisine (rice pilaf, paella). It’s very expensive because it takes a field of flowers to produce a tiny amount of saffron.
“Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere.” Outside of the toy story movies, this my personal favorite pixar movie. I admire everything about it, the story, animation, messages, characters and antons speech is one of my favorite scenes in a animated movie.
Everything about Anton Ego is just amazing in this movie...his design, name (pretty on the nose considering what he represents), his typewriter shaped like a skull, office like a coffin and those lines and comeback are legendary ! Also that ending is so profound and revealing of the work of a critic...The world is unkind to the new, sometime you must give it a chance !
Fact that not many people know: The house where Remi learned to cook (the old lady's house) is the same house Ego lived in as a child. Remi's Ratatouille reminds Ego of his mother's meal because Remi learned to make it from Ego's mother herself.
@@primv_5752 This isn’t a fact. It’s a stretch. I just don’t think ego would let his mother live like that, and tbh they look nothing alike in the flashback. The whole idea hinges on the house being the same house from the beginning but animators would 100% just reuse the house asset. It would be like making a theory based on the fact that all the kids at Andy’s birthday are recolored versions of Andy’s model.
The best part about this movie is the reformation of Anton Ego. It begins with good food. And "Ratatouille" has nailed the concept. Alright, who's hungry? 🍽️
This is was a beautiful movie because Just like experimenting and playing around with food can lead to a delicious and mind blowing meal, taking risks and doing something unexpected can lead to success in other parts of life as well. This is probably the whole message of Ratatouille.
For the Pixar team to understand how texture of food works, I’m glad they did their research by paying a visit to a culinary school in the Bay Area to get the animation as real as possible. In fact, Lou Romano (the voice of Linguini) once paid a visit to my local college as part of an assembly for aspiring art and film students like myself. Whether he voiced Linguini here, Snotrod of Cars, or Dash’s teacher Mr. Kopp of The Incredibles. He’s not one to mistake so easily.
This is hands down the most genius Pixar movie. I have never seen a speech so perfectly written as Ego's final critique here. This movie is insanely emotional to me.
You know, I just realized something. Linguini says he has no talent, but just look at the way he waits those tables! He actually does have talent. His talent is waiting tables fast, reliable and with style and pizazz!
It's very missable, but after Linguine takes over the restaurant, there's a five second scene of him teaching Colette how to roller skate. So Linguine waiting tables with roller skates didn't come out of the blue, it was set up earlier on.
How many interesting themes combined in one in one film. Acceptance of something new, the difference between the old and the new school, the path of a creative person, the simplicity of art and the main thing that “anyone can cook”. The last idea is a little deeper meaning, and which was voiced by Ego at the end.
I just want to add a funny fact of the dubbed latin spanish version. The actual voice actors who did Remy and Remy's dad are actually father and son. First actor Héctor Bonilla and his son Sergio Bonilla. Both terrific and well loved actors. Thanks for reacting to this movie is one of my favourites. :)
One thing I also like about this film is the ego everyone has. Despite being the underdog, Remy still has an ego where he is dismissive of others. It’s very interesting. He becomes the best chef when he stops letting his ego getting in the way as well.
It’s worth noting that this is the most recent and so-far final reaction video collab Timothee had with ANGELINA as he hadn’t had any further collabs with her since May of 2022.
No problem with that, what the hell with that annoying singing over the intro to the movie? She does that often talking over the movie and that’s why I don’t watch her channel. Loud af all the time
@@ma.2089 Ratatouille is traditionally a vegetarian stew. Which is not what was served at the end of this movie. Yes it was the same ingredients but the preperation method was very different, having thin slices of veggies would definately speed up the cooking process. And by the looks of it it was layed on top of a tomato paste or puree and had baking paper over the top to keep the moisture and flavour in. But I just work in hospitality so what the hell do I know right? 😂 Edit: I noticed as well that they did serve him a soup as an appetiser while he was waiting.
In the end credits, they put a sticker that brags about how they used 100% genuine animation instead of motion capture. This was a response to the fact that the previous year, they lost the best animated Oscar to Happy Feet.
This entire show is an allegory for the brilliance of the human existence; through effort, creativity and careful decision making, you can transcend to the level of a metaphorical god by achieving excellence through your passions working in tandem with your skill and talents. Linguini himself is as example. He may not be the best chef of the greatest restaurant in Paris, but he may be its best waiter. By combining his skill as a rollerblader in combination with his desire to help and please others, he has achieved his own level of excellence and finding happiness and meaning in it. And that’s the inspiring message of the movie… Every single human has the capacity to reach this level. But they need to be fearless to reach this greatness, believe they deserve it and take it. So be morally ambitious, do what is unexpected, take initiative. If you were careful and confident in your knowledge and talents and applying proper standards, you need not fear the result.
Saffron is a spice made from a flower from Greece, the reason it's so rare and expensive is that it can only be extracted from the 3 or 4 stigmas from one flower, meaning you need ALOT of flowers to be able to get even a few grams.
I absolutely love Ratatouille! I even tried cooking the dishes and they tasted EXQUISITE! Karl even sold 4 copies of Ratatouille for 1,000 dollars on MrBeast! I actually drew the ending picture with the eifiell tower and the ratatouille sign and my teacher loved it!
I’m not a rat person, but I do like this story of Remy chasing and fulfilling his dream of becoming a cook. Ratatouille is a great Pixar film imo, always a fun watch every now and then.🙂
I have a very strong hatred for rats, but this film was really good! Who knew that a rat could be so good at cooking? I like the message that this film gives our, which is to never give up on your dreams. It’s also very inspiring for people who has dreams of coming. This also makes me hungry every time I watch this. This is a recipe for another great Pixar classic!
me as a child watching that ego review scene: yes excellent very good narration that I don't understand at all once you actually understand it it's actually incredible and it kinda hits also it's very unexpected from a movie like this
Fun Fact: If you take a close look at the items and their location in the kitchen of the old woman's house, you can see that it is exactly the same as the house where Ego lived as a child. Because the old woman is Ego's mother. The Rattatoullie that Remy made was therefore the same as that of Ego's mother, because Remy learned to cook from her.
17:53 Before Linguini walked out, Skinner said "One can get too familiar with vegetables, you know!" Now I understand what he meant, and I'm sure the writers knew too.
I took my nieces (then in grade school) to see this; the elder sister, Marina, was so captivated by it that afterwards, she wanted to cook something. I wish I could've obliged her, but in those days, my brother's kitchen was something of a mess...both parents worked, so....
There's a fan theory online that the reason why Remy has such a talent for cooking is because he learned it from his mother, who was also Gusteau 's "little chef". It's most likely that Remy's mother died suddenly or was killed which why Gusteau died out of sadness for losing his rat friend.
This movie so popular in my Culinary school, I attended the year it came out, and it still holds up super well today. Also, Tim, I totally ship you and Angela, you guys such good chemistry together!
I forget how good this movie actually is. If I feel like watching a movie from my childhood, this movie wouldn't be my first pick, but yet it's actually one of the better ones out there! Also: Yay for another Timothee and Angelina collab!
Fun fact: the store with the rats hanging in the window isn't about selling anything except for mouse traps & their services at killing rats which is an actual store in Paris. Also you have to love how Anton Ego stops doing the spit take then looks at the wine bottle cuz if it's a good wine or a good year why spit it out. And yeah ratatouille is a vegetable meal cuz as Collette said "it's a peasant dish" well way back when meat was uber expensive the easiest thing to use was what you could grow
The one problem I have with this movie is the hair testing scene. The only hair we see the lawyer pick up is the one on Gusteau's toque. We never see him get Linguini's hair. As a kid I knew that if a character picks up a hair all serious-like, it means they test the hair. But I never knew it was for a paternity test. I didn't pay 100% attention to the audio as a kid. The animation is what I noticed the most. So when the lawyer says the hair results said the hair was rodent hair I assumed that meant that he was referring to the hair that HE picked up off Gusteau's toque. I never acknowledged he meant the sample of Linguini's hair that Skinner got off screen. SO I thought that meant that Gusteau ALSO had a tiny rat chef and it was a weird family habit to adopt a rat and have it make you a successful chef. I think it could have been done better so that it was more clear visually.
I want to see a collaboration of you and Angelina making a simple food dish, where one of you is blindfolded and the other gives the instructions. And then switch roles. "THIS I COMMAND!" - Serpentor
rewatching this movie in my room while i eat spagguetti and hear my mom and my grandma watch a cooking program on the background in the next room is immersion at it's best moment
18:07 It is actually realistic, but he is unlikely to grab the hair that controls his body. It's not made up in movies, it really works, you just have to know what hair controls the nerves.
RIP peter o'toole the voice of anton ego(1932-2013) RIP ian holm the voice of chef skinner(1931-2020) and RIP Brian Dennehy the voice of django(1938-2020)😥and i love ratatouille👨🍳🐀 ❤it is one of the underrated pixar movies but it is a good and a fantastic pixar movie🎬🎥👌 and it is one of my favorite pixar movies and ratatouille is about: that "anyone can cook" it realy don't matter what or who you are "anyone can cook" and tim have great day✌☀️😎🤙
I remember being so enchanted with this movie when I saw it in the cinema with my Mom. I wasn't exactly thrilled with the trailer they made for it, but the French countryside, the love for explaining the cooking process, and the slapstick made everything.
I put this on another video but I just always love Ego, especially the detail that is he doesn't love the food he's eating, he doesn't swallow hence why he is so gaunt. Yet! At the end, you can notice his cheeks have filled out and even started to plump up a bit, meaning he loves most, if not all, of Remy's food.
Sometimes i just pretend slices of fried potato would taste just like the specific food he made for that critic. The taste is clear in my mind😋 but not on my taste buds and it is unexplanable😆
I don't know if anyone has said it in comments yet but the dish that Remy cooks for Ego is surprisingly enough NOT a ratatouille! It's actually a sort of "confit byaldi" (the real ratatouille looks like a ragoût: all vegetables chopped and cooked in a sauce, not like in this movie where they are thinely sliced and arranged in a plate like you would do for an apple pie). Google it if you don't believe me haha! Also, that shop with all the dead rats hanging really does exists in Paris. It's in the 4th Arrondissement, I used to live nearby. These are fake plastic rats nowadays for sanitary purposes but back in the old days they were real dead rats :)
There's a very impressive theory that the old lady in the beginning is Ego mother, and also that Gusteau is Ego's brother! This is evidenced by the fact that she's wearing the same thing in Ego's flashback when she made ratatouille, and if you look, there is what appears to be a portrait of Gusteau hanging in the background. The theory is essentially: Ego's always been hard on Gusteau because he felt like Gusteau sold out, and thus dedicated his own life to preserving their mothers teachings and recipes. The dish that cost Gusteau one of his stars was the ratatouille dish, because it was a far cry from the one they ate when they grew up with. This also perfectly sets up the ending, because its not just the realization that it's delicious, it's the realization of, "They did it. They finally perfected our mothers recipe!"
My family and I really enjoy Pixar movies, and ever since I saw this one I've been combining flavors of whatever I eat for an elevated experience. Also, Patton Oswalt is always a win.
Fun fact: the story about chef gusteau happend in rl when a chef in Paris had one of the most famous restaurants in the world with 5 stars but when he lost 1 of his stars he became depressed and killed himself
I think this movie is not only about rats or food, this whole story expresses what sort of tragedy Asia, Europe or even America have suffered, like a society of poverty looks for scraps of food while their own wanted to cook with fresh and clean ones for their health and safety. In the end the more jobs they're worked confidently the more healthy and safe life they are having. Like Jews work to be safe and fed during World War II. Quite a true and expressive story this!
Saffron is the most expensive spice in the world, worth around $10 a GRAM ($10000 a kilo). it's made from the internal strings of a flower (crocus) that can only be picked a few minutes per day at dawn and a few days only per year in automn. The flower dies after one season cycle and a new one needs to be replanted every year. And it takes 150 flowers to get one gram of spice. Also the flower looks a lot like another one that is a deadly poison, increasing even more the price of the real thing. That tube Remi is holding would be worth around $100, usually saffron comes in super tiny capsules so that people can afford it. Did anyone care ? Hello ? Oh well...
This film is such a masterpiece! I think saw this in theatres when it first came out and Yes! the Dug cameo is part of Pixar's easter eggs and they do this in about every Pixar film where they put clue of the next upcoming movie.
Ratatouille is probably my favorite Pixar movie. It may not be as recognizable as some of their movies like Toy Story, Monsters Inc, or Finding Nemo. But it’s just so fun and creative, and it has a really great message to it. About how people with extraordinary talents can come from anywhere, and to follow your passions no matter how unlikely they may seem to the outside world. The film itself is truly a work of art and it’s hard to believe it was made less than 2 decades ago. It’s so sad to see Pixar loose their creativity in such a short amount of time.
Speaking of rats and mice, you both should watch Don Bluth's American Tail (the first one) and Disney's The Great Mouse Detective! SEVERELY underrated movies, really beautiful and heartwarming. Some of my favorites. ❤️❤️ The incredible Vincent Price, the Prince of Horror, stars as my favorite Disney villain Professor Ratigan!
other movies to check out that feature a cute mouse or rat are mousehunt, stuart little and an american tale. especially Mousehunt is a must watch and the mouse can cook too
"HOW do you have the aim for rats!?!??" and "This grandma has GOD-Tier aim!" She grabbed a shotgun. She doesn't have aim, Remy's just been getting lucky about pellet spacing.
This film is so fun and timeless, like the animators aren't sooo concerned about what year this takes place things like that make for such fun expressions of what much of the world perceives Paris and France as; Overtly romantic and beautiful, I'm sure it's a really nice place to travel to but the colours and smells? are so vibrant in a tasteful way I already ate earlier but this makes me want to eat something nice lol
I would love both of you to collab on The film - Treasure Planet. I think the animation and music were done with a specific ratio of 70/30 (cgi/hand drawn) (classical/pop,rock) there’s videos that go into specifics. I believe most consider it a forgotten gem. I will never not love this film. I would absolutely love a vid on this film. If you’ve not seen it I’d highly recommend watching even if no collab/reaction is done.
At 10:12, I'm pretty sure that that wasn't a reference to Doug the dog from Up because Up was released in 2009, two years after Ratatouille. Well, however, Up was still in production during 2007 and that dog's shadow resembling Doug was probably just a promotional Easter egg for what was yet to come in Pixar movies.
I think the only thing that bugged me about this film was linguini. Like if I were him, I’d be trying to remember all these recipes that we’re making and try to actually practice them.
