Storyline:

Edit

Remy, a young rat with a perfect sense of taste and smell, dreams of becoming a chef like his deceased idol, Auguste Gusteau. The rest of his colony, including his brother Émile and his father, the clan leader Django, are interested in food only for sustenance. The rats live in an elderly woman’s attic outside Paris; when Remy and Émile accidentally reveal this to the woman, the clan is forced to evacuate, and Remy becomes separated from the others. Encouraged by an imaginary Gusteau, he explores until he finds himself on the roof of Gusteau’s restaurant.

Remy notices the restaurant’s new garbage boy, Alfredo Linguini, attempting to fix a soup he ruined, and jumps in to fix Linguini’s mistakes. Linguini catches Remy in the act, but does not reveal him to Skinner, Gusteau’s former sous-chef and the new owner of the restaurant. Skinner confronts Linguini for tampering with the soup, but when the soup is accidentally served and proves to be a success, Colette Tatou, the restaurant’s only female chef, convinces Skinner to retain Linguini and uphold Gusteau’s motto, “Anyone can cook”. After demanding Linguini either replicate the soup or lose his job, Skinner spots Remy and orders Linguini to take him outside and kill him. Once they’re alone, Linguini discovers that Remy can understand him, and he convinces Remy to help him cook.

Remy guides Linguini’s movements like a marionette by pulling on his hair while hiding under his toque. They recreate the soup and continue cooking at the restaurant. Colette begrudgingly trains Linguini, but comes to appreciate someone heeding her advice. Linguini tries to show Remy to Colette, but Remy makes him kiss her instead. Remy reunites with Émile and the clan; Django tries to convince Remy it is impossible to change humans’ disdain for rats, but Remy asserts that “change is nature”.

Skinner discovers that Linguini is Gusteau’s illegitimate son, and the rightful owner of the restaurant. Skinner hides the proofs, but Remy finds them and is chased by Skinner. Remy outruns him and shows the documents to Linguini, who then forces Skinner out. The restaurant thrives as Remy’s recipes become popular; Linguini’s life improves and he develops a romantic relationship with Colette.

Food critic Anton Ego, whose negative review of the restaurant indirectly led to Gusteau’s death, announces he will dine at the restaurant. When Linguini takes credit for Remy’s cooking, he and Remy fall out. Remy leads his clan to raid the restaurant’s pantries for food. Linguini arrives to apologize, but upon discovering the raid, furiously drives all of the rats out, Remy included.

The next day, Remy is captured by Skinner but promptly freed by Django and Émile. Linguini reconciles with Remy and reveals the truth to his staff, who all quit. Reminded of Gusteau’s motto, Colette returns to help. Django and the clan cook under Remy’s direction while Linguini waits tables. Skinner and a health inspector attempt to interfere, but get locked in the pantry. Remy creates a variation of ratatouille which reminds the astounded Ego of his mother’s cooking. Asking to meet the chef, he is asked to wait until the restaurant is empty. Ego is stunned upon being introduced to Remy. The next day, he writes a review stating that he has come to understand Gusteau’s motto, and describes Remy — without revealing that he is a rat — as “nothing less than the finest chef in France.”

After Skinner and the health inspector are released, the restaurant is shut down, stripping Ego of his job and credibility. To continue Gusteau’s legacy, Remy, Linguini and Colette open a bistro, La Ratatouille, which a now-happier Ego invests in and frequently visits. The rat colony settles into the bistro’s attic as their new home.
