1. The title refers to a French dish, "ratatouille", which is served at the end of the film, and is also a play on words about the species of the main character.
2. Remy is an idealistic and ambitious young rat, gifted with highly developed senses of taste and smell. Inspired by his idol, the recently deceased chef Auguste Gusteau, Remy dreams of becoming a cook himself.
3. There is on one level the entire story, of Remy and Linguini, but then there are 3 or 4 or more subplots and a number of dramatic scene changes which almost felt like separate chapters of the main story. That all contributed ..for me at least... to keeping the movie very interesting right to the end.
4. It tells people that no, not anyone can do anything, but if you have the talent you don't have to be limited by your surroundings or your upbringing.
5. It also exposes the fact that most people try to put up false facades of themselves to hide who they are in order to feel accepted by the social standards we create in our society.
6. Ratatouille is a 2007 American computer-animated comedy film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures.
7. The views of Paris are very accurate. At times we could tell exactly where in the city the events were taking place.
8. Ratatouille is filled with loads of surprises and lots of twists and turns. The animation is even more stunning here than in some of the other Disney/Pixar productions, and the breathtaking landscape of Paris.
9. France, really adds a layer of realism to the film. The food looks so real and delicious, and the humans and rats look incredibly realistic.
10. The story is oh so classy and universal, especially when you look at it as a parable to yourself and society.
