➱ STORYLINE:

Ratatouille (2007) follows the adventures of Remy, a rat with a passion for cooking, who dreams of becoming a great chef despite his family's wishes and the obvious problem of being a rat in a decidedly rodent-phobic profession. Remy finds himself in the sewers of Paris and discovers his ideal restaurant, owned by his culinary hero, Auguste Gusteau. With the help of the garbage boy Linguini, Remy begins to realize his dream, creating culinary masterpieces while maintaining the deception of his true identity. The film beautifully explores themes of following one's passion, friendship, and the importance of creativity.
