Coming off of the success of “The Incredibles”, Brad Bird wrote and directed “Ratatouille”, another animated box office smash hit that was also a critical darling. “Ratatouille” tells the tale of Remy, an anthropomorphic Parisian rat with a talent for cooking. Remy idolizes the recently deceased chef Auguste Gusteau, and dreams about becoming a chef himself. When the humans discover Remy and his family in their house, they are forced to flee and Remy is separated from the rest of them. Through happenchance he befriends Alfredo Linguini, a young garbage boy working in Guestau’s restaurant, now run by evil Skinner. Remy gets a chance to show off his cooking talent and Linguini gets hired as a chef, because everyone believes that he did the cooking. Remy finds a way to direct him in cooking and the unlikely duo is an absolute success. Linguini is later revealed to be Gusteau’s illegitimate son and the rightful heir to his restaurant. Linguini fires Skinner, but soon loses Remy after a fight. After losing his secret chef, Linguini comes clean to his staff about a rat being the real chef, and everyone thinks him crazy and quits the job. With a famous and famously petty food critic set to arrive, Linguini makes peace with Remy and gets help from Remy’s rat family to create a dinner that will blow the food critic’s mind. Even though the restaurant gets a glowing review, Skinner, who has learned of Remy, brings in a health inspector who shuts the restaurant down. Still, with the help of a new ally, Remy and Linguini are able to start from scratch and keep doing what they do best and love the most.
