another easy to miss detail: one of Ego's lines is "if I don't like it, I don't swallow" and throughout the movie, he's shown as almost uncomfortably underweight, but at the very end when you see him in Remy's restaurant, he's noticeably heavier because he's actually *eating* that food
That definitely explains the comment Linguini shoots at Ego during the press conference, and it makes the impact of Remy's dish that much more meaningful in how he's at a much healthier weight by the end. That's what I call Fridge Brilliance.
This is one of those movies that doesn't even need a sequel It ended with quite a twist. Instead of Remy becoming a chef at Gusteau's, he becomes head chef in his own restaurant under secrecy, still being able to live his dream. Ego finally gets to taste real quality food he's long forgotten about, Linguini finally got himself a job he's good at, Collette gets treated with the respect she deserves, and the rats don't have to go hungry and be afraid of poison, now that's an ending
@@38procentkrytyk Ratatouille 2: Remy's Apprentice Set half a year after the last scene of Ratatouille, Remy is now an old rat and needs to teach his skills to one of the younger rats. I would go more into detail but at best it would be the same plot as Cars 3.
I've heard of so many different animals not having gag reflexes that I can't help but imagine that the amount of animals that do have them can be counted on one hand.
My favorite part as someone who had worked in the business. Was when Collette was going over the background of all the kitchen crew. It's the most accurate thing about the movie. Most high end restaurants have a motley crew of ex criminals, drug addicts and weirdos in the back who normally can't function in society but within the structure of a kitchen, work in sync to craft the perfect dining experience.
im just going through comments on this video and i want to say, i worked with alot of shady people in the kitchen - i even worked with someone who killed and chopped his neighbour with an axe and spent 20 years in prison - he was one of the most hardworking people in that kitchen, which solidify the statemenet of this movie, that a great chef can come from anywhere
I've never seen it, but I know my grandfather has a shotgun. He's a gun nut and if it's legal for civilians to own, he's probably got it. He even has an assault rifle.
i feel like there’s a win missed in the learning-to-cook-properly montage: Collette introducing other staffs’ various not-so-glimmering back stories is like a foreshadowing of “A great artist could be from anywhere”
Also it’s accurate. I’m a chef who’s worked in kitchens for years and kitchen staffs have an assortment of people. From college kids trying to make their way, to students of the culinary arts, to reformed criminals. A kitchen is a space where anyone who is willing to work hard and show humility can thrive
Lalo ran away from home to join the circus and messed around with the ringmaster’s daughter, which got him fired. Horst did time for defrauding a major corporation, robbing the second largest bank in France using only a ballpoint pen, creating a hole in the ozone over Avignon, and killing a man. With THIS thumb! Pompidou got banned from Monte Carlo and Las Vegas for cheating at card games. Larousse ran gun for the resistance during WWII (which secretly gives us a post WWII possibly 1950s-60s timeline).
*Fun Trivia:* -Showing devotion to art, one of the animators actually jumped in a pool while wearing a chef's outfit, so they could animate it properly. -To make sure things were as accurate as possible, Pixar brought in Thomas Keller, the greatest chef in America and one of the greatest in the world, to help with the film. The producer interned at his restaurant, The French Laundry, and asked Keller how he would prepare ratatouille if the biggest food critic in the world were to visit his restaurant. Keller invented the version seen in the film, his own version of a variant known as "confit byaldi." -Colette mentions having had to work extra hard to reach her position because she's a woman. This is a sad fact of the industry, particularly in France. Yet as soon as Ego sees her, he assumes she's the one who prepared the dish... because the greatest chef he ever knew was his mother.
You missed a win: Despite Colette voicing how much misogyny she had to fight to get where she is, Ego doesn't think twice about her being the Chef (he's wrong of course, but his reaction at the idea is one of delight rather than incredulity). And this makes perfect sense, since the best cook he ever knew was a woman: his mother.
Another win: Remys movements, when he is on all four, is so much like a rat. Same with his ears twitching, nose moving, his fast breathe and his tail. I only noticed this after owning rats myself, he just straight up has characteristics like some of my boys. So many movies with animals as a main character don't take into account how these animals move so it was actually so amazing to see a movie focusing on little behaviours that real rats do
I assume that the animators studied some rats and mice so they can accurately depict how mice and rats move and act since when Disney did the Lion King (particularly the first movie but I think they did the same thing with the sequel) the animators studied real lions in Africa when they were animating the Lion King so I don’t think it’s far fetched that Pixar studied some rats and mice for this film! :) Edit- I also want to say the same thing with Bluesky with their movie “Rio” because I own a cockatiel and a macaw at home and the way the birds move and act is pretty accurate on how real birds act (like flying, squawking, and walking) is on point ya know?
@@moonbased7796 As a Disney nerd I just have to point out that Walt himself started the entire "studying the animal you're supposed to draw" thing back in the day when making "Bambi"... Disney pretty much have done with this every movie when they had to draw animals. For example for "Brother Bear" they watched two bear cubs playing in their studio... It's one of the things that just make Disney movies feel that much realer and make them come to life...
Just like UP, this is one of those movies that doesn't need a sequel. It's perfect all by itself. Not good for studio business who like to 'milk' a franchise dry these days.
@@monikakavaliunaite8017 I don't know where you got that info, but Pixar has not said anything about a sequel for neither UP or Ratatouille. And Brad Bird himself said that the story is already told
@@monikakavaliunaite8017 Hmm I see. Seems to be more of a spin-off show rather than a proper sequel. But hey I'm a Pixar sucker so I'll probably watch it
As someone who’s experienced the flashback of a dish from childhood, noticing that Ego’s face gets color back in it is a wonderful detail!! The warmth comes from your chest and quickly makes its way to your cheeks and your ears grow warm, it’s a wonderful feeling :)
So no one is gonna talk about how he casually mentioned that his son is getting a little sibling? Those are such wonderfull news and i am so happy for you, also this is one of my fav animated movies, one of the reasons why i got into that field of work in the first place
@@reikun86 actually it mays seem like a lot but they earned it and are present in every high end restaurant beside 2,250 for 7 pieces is actually not that much considering how much those restaurants make
I felt that and the fact that it was the late 2000s and the 2010s would be a great decade of change. Forward is the only way to go especially with parents not liking ur major or who u are
Also, no other movie has made me hate a character so much just for me to care deeply towards the very end. The voice actor for Ego (appropriate name btw) is truly a national treasure
It’s a shame he passed away 6 years after the film came out, not only did Peter O’Toole pass away, but also Ian Holm (Skinner) who passed away last year.
I've always seen this as sort of a subtle tribute to Bob Ross, just with cooking instead if painting. Afterall, his iconic catch phrase was "anyone can paint".
"The average piece of junk being more meaningful than the criticism designating it so" seems like a close sentiment to the CinemaWins ethos, which I absolutely love
@@EternalSushiMusic To be fair, CinemaSins took the comment in good humor. He knows exactly what his channel is, and he isn't going to pretend otherwise.
I also love how Ego in the end is less emaciated and more fattened. "If I don't like it, I don't swallow." He likes everything Remy makes and never liked anything from any other restaurant before, hence his near-statved physique. It's a perfect echo of his entire outlook on life. Once you criticize everything, there's no enjoyment anymore but now that his entire worldview has been shattered by Remy's reveal, suddenly he's far happier and more fulfilled. Instead of critiquing everything in life he now enjoys everything in it.
One thing that is a possible theory, the house the rats were above was Ego's mother. A few details can be seen that show the exact same thing for each, and also showing how Remy got the recipe the way he likes it
I actually think it is more likely for it to be his grandmother, because I feel like his mother must have died, making Ego so grim, unable to have his mother’s precious food anymore.
10:14 The inclusion of the "oH" that real Africans place at the end of phrases to emphasize something or express general distress is such an AMAZING touch here
8:39 My native language is French, and I gotta say, although his french accent is very accurate during the whole movie, this "everywhere" is especially spot-on.
I loved how when Skinner asks Linguini if he ever had a rat for a pet, Linguini honestly says "no" because he sees Remy as more of a friend and cooking partner
This is further nailed by the fact that Linguini was thoroughly intoxicated in the scene. And drunk people tend to be very honest, sometimes to a fault.
I am amazed that when Linguini turned off the light in the storage room he was actually still being animated, picking Remy up and stuffing him into his hat..never would have expected the animators to care
@@nataliamidzio I dont understand the reference to that reference thats talking about another reference about you not under standing a reference to a reference to another reference then the first reference about this *R e f e r e n c e*
Ratatouille is Pixar’s Mona Lisa in terms of story, just overall animation and story, also the tone that’s what really makes this movie amazing. Watching this when I was 8 compared to now when I’m 17 is such a big difference.
I always liked it as a kid but now I am able to appreciate it in a whole new way. Especially Ego's monologue just hits differently and now I can see the depth of the movie.
I'm 67 and I've watched it about 7 times and it always entrances me . it's kind of a metaphor for everyone trying to make a dream happen and roadblocks being thrown innyour way no matter how garden you try .
I recently discovered a theory which states that Ego's mother, the one who cooked the ratatouille, is actually the grandma from the beginning. Which explains why Ego is so touched by the dish, it's because it IS his mother dish. You can compare the views of the house between the beginning and the flashback, there's a lot of similarities.
@@somepersonmcsomebody7501 maybe the dad was tall and it was a 50/50 chance of wether he was tall or short and he got the tallness instead of the shortness
Well if you know Paris well enough you know it's far less romantic and much more stuffy than the movie pretends it to be. I want it for a fact that they never take either the Subway or the RER (local train service), the only transportations modes possible for Paris. Also I struggle to pinpoint where hte restaurant is supposed to be: it obviously has to be close by 1st arrondissement, because Remi can just walk to view the Eiffel tower and the Seine (name of the river). However these kind of restaurants and buildings would be more akin to the Quartier Latin and the Rue Sufflot nieghbourhood (near the Senate and Luxemburg Parc). But that's miles away from the Eiffel tower. I guess he just took some transportation means. Pardon my ramblings, it feels very weird to see your city depicted in animation ^^
@@Cancoillotteman yeah i know i know. Living in Grenoble myself, but I had my fair bit of Paris :D just the statement is true, the art is but an imitation of the great city
Egos monologue has such an effect on me in a way that i cannot describe. It gives off a feel that anything can become great even if it is just your general piece of junk. Everytime i hear that monologue i end up nearly crying because of the profound message and feeling it gives. It shall forever be my favourite monoligue
"Ratatouille is a soup"... my grandma would be severly kicking your arse right here 😊 So we're not exactly south french (were the dish come from) but she's still been making it for over 50 years and it's time for a precision lesson : a ratatouille is a sort of pot thing. If I found liquid in mine I'd be worried haha
@Nick Fanchette well it's not exactly a stew either x) we french take pride in our cooking recipe we don't refer a meal as what it seems rather than what it is so a ratatouille is neither a stew or a soup it's a ratatouille wich as he's one property
@Nick Fanchette I mean, I get where you're coming from, and you could argue that the ratatouille the mom makes in the flashback counts as a vegetable stew, but a stew normally has no structure to it, and ratatouille is all about the structure. That coupled with the fact that it goes into the oven, which a stew doesn't either, I'd rather call it a baked dish.
J'avoue avoir tiqué aussi!! IT'S NOT A SOUP, IT'S ✨Ratatouille✨. Je pense qu'on peut considérer ça comme une variation d'un ragoût de légumes (eh encore?) Mais définitivement pas une soupe 😅
One of the things I like about the dish Ratatouille in the context of this film is that its represents the theme (which is why I think the title suits it well, plus the pun). Ratatouille is not some fancy, high-end dish, its a stew-type meal that "peasants" make (hence the cut to the French countryside, this is something they probably had all the time). But despite this the Ratatouille that Remi makes is still delicious and something new. Much like Remi, the dish comes from humble origins, but can still become something special.
People talking about how Ratatouille is 10 years old... Of course it took cinemawins 10 years to fit eveything great about this masterpiece in under 20mins
When I saw this movie as a kid, I noticed that Remy combined a piece of cheese with a strawberry. So I tried it. Vermont Sharp and Strawberries have been a staple of my snacks ever since. It's stupid good.
@@rogueguardian Well, good cheeses should have a certain degree of flavorful saltiness to them. And strawberries release more sweetness with salt. Combined with the milky aspect of the cheese (depending on which type) and you'd be in for a delightful treat.
I think when Anton Ego flashes back to that memory he is not remembering how his mom cooked ratatouille but more of the moment where he decides that he loves food and Remy's cooking reminds him of why he started critiquing.
Although the Internet's websites would like to dispute this fact, we know the truth. The best content in the world is made on TH-cam. The best content on TH-cam is made on CinemaWins. And the best content on CinemaWins, some say, is made by Lee.
13:25 something that i only caught rewatching this movie half a year ago: Ego was the sponsor of the restoraunt! i somehow never caught that line about him being successful in small business now
Ego's flashback to his childhood home shows several similarities to the old woman's house at the beginning suggesting that was his mother. ...and Congratulations!!!
I saw this too and I’m kind of surprised it wasn’t mentioned because it could be that Remy saw how to cook through the mother’s cooking. It would’ve made a whole circle coincidence type of thing that’s super cool :)
Man, I love this movie. Ego’s Flashback is one of my favorite scenes in all of cinema. Huh, for some reason I always thought that he had been beaten up while riding his bike, maybe cause at that time I was beaten up a lot at school.
I always thought he got bullied and immediately went home. And well, I get bullied. Maybe we were all made to relate to ego because of the lack of context
"I don't 'like' food, I LOVE IT. If I don't love it I don't SWALLOW👿" to this day, one of the creepiest things I've ever heard in a Pixar movie. The delivery alone was...chilling
You didn't mention my favorite part: Ego drops the pen in slo-mo, and it lands with a mighty sound. One of the few times in adulthood I laughed out loud in a theater.
People should finally realise CinemaSins is a comedy channel and doesn't want to be taken seriously... They intentionally nitpick, make up problems and ignore good things. I get if you don't find them funny but they are just having fun.
@@szabok1999 but most people who watch cinemasins don’t watch them for “comedy” meaning they truly base their opinion of the film off the videos, which is problematic
@szabok1999 but when cinemasins does have points they want you to take seriously and then say it's all "satire" the joke gets muddied and lost and then people believe it's all valid criticism and start shitting on perfectly good films, plus it's not like they are shouting out on every video "it's a joke" and I have legit met people who thought that Cinemasins was the epitome of Critique.
This movie always brings me to tears because it helped spark my love for cooking in the kitchen with my family as a child. The scene with young Ego taking a taste of that Ratatouille reminds me of every time I eat my mom's cooking. I get taken back to days when I was sick in bed and my mom would take care of me, giving me oatmeal, toast sticks, and sweet cold tea made by my grandpa. This movie makes me smile and reminds me of just how much I love my mom. We watched it a lot when it first came out and it's one of our favorites. It's also one of the few movies I never grow tired of and feel personally connected to.
Another win: I feel like Colette is the first one to try helping Linguine because she saw her in him. Someone who didn't had confidence in herself to face it and do what she likes.
I've never been so offended when you said that ratatouille is a soup lmao. Although the movie version isn't quite the real recipe it's still near the real deal. It's a blend of tomatoes, courgette ( or zucchini) and a few pepper thinly cut, it has some vegetables juice in the end but that's because those liberate some water usually
Well, what Rémy cooks in the movie is a tian : still authentic Provencal cuisine. I'm pretty sure the video was calling ratatouille a soup in jest... Or maybe provocation.
I also had a confused reaction to the soup declaration 😂 I was under the impression it was a stew, or a loose vegetable casserole. Thanks for clearing that up.
Me: *thinking about Ratatouille* Cinemawins: Everything GREAT About Ratatouille! *posted 15 minutes ago* Me: The internal machinations of my mind is an enigma.
As a chef (and just someone who appreciates the art in food), this is one of my favorite movies. It captures so many of the ideas and feelings that we all have to wrestle with when dealing with a job where, as she puts it, "every second counts and you can't be mommy"
0:28 So I just wanted to point out the insane little detail of the old timey television- that ringing frequency. They captured that so damn well. My mum's still got got a new mode of that in her room- and every time I come over it just- gives me a headache :'D Props Pixar. Yall did good. Attention to detail never disappoints.
Apparently that high pitch range is the first part of a person's hearing that stops working as they get older. Most of the people over 35 that I've talked to about it say they can't hear that noise at all and haven't been able to since they were younger.
"I'm going to take a quick break to block every hole in my house" fun fact, while mice can fit through a dime gap rats have to have a quarter size. But rats can chew through concrete and mice can only do wood soooo... yeah. Block up those gaps with copper mesh and caulk (wish I wasn't speaking from mouse experience. In a BRAND NEW HOUSE no less, I thought that was something that only happened to old crumbling homes!).
As someone who works in a kitchen, "every second counts" and "making a dish like a mommy" are complementary. Spend every second you have making sure it is perfect.
Ratatouille is honestly one my favourite movies. It just always makes me feel all warm and happy inside, just like the comfort food it builds its climax on. Great video!
You and Schaffrilas put into words everything I love about Ratatouille! When I was growing up, my dad and I always had a vegetable garden, and every summer we would watch Ratatouille and make it with the vegetables we had grown. I think that's why the scene where Ego remembers his childhood has always hit so hard for me.
I believe that the old grannies house at the beginning of the movie, and Anton’s nostalgic childhood memory of his mother’s cooking and home, ARE THE SAME.
Idk if anyone has mentioned this yet but in the scenes with the strawberry and cheese tasting the animator Michel Gange has synesthesia (most often associated with seeing music but in this case seeing taste) and based the art on what he was tasting which was then handed to the composer to make music from that art. In my opinion this is filmmaking working on all cylinders to make one perfect experience!
it's a cute detail that Colette and Linguini both have big noses, I know most don't think of it specifically but it lets them stick out a little visually when it comes to most animated couples. Also it's the cutest ship ever because it doesn't feel like 'oh now I have nothing wrong with you because we accidentally touched hands once' ^'w'x
"Ratatouille is a soup" Me, a frenchman : SO YOU HAVE CHOSEN DEATH (It's a stew, not a soup. You don't liquify the vegetables to make ratatouille.) As for the accents? It's all around not perfect, but there are some good basics from Janeane Garofalo and Ian Holm (especially the latter). Garofalo mostly misses the french R (which actually sounds like the scottish/welsh CH and is pretty much NEVER skipped. Holm gets it right, however), but most of her vowels are good, and most importantly she has one of the big basics of french pronunciation that most shitty movie french "accents" don't get : french isn't accentuated. You pronounce every syllable and word in a sentence with the same level of tone.
To be fair, I find a lot of French people tend to gravitate towards an English accent, the more they learn the language, since that's the closest English speaking nation. To me, Janeane Garofalo sounds like a French person trying to mimic an English accent, but still has most of her French accent, which would explain things like why her R is slightly off. I only lived in France for half a year, and am far from an expert in the language, but I find the accent pretty convincing, and appreciate that she doesn't try to be too exaggerated.
@@davidmhh9977 well in France english class tend to make us learn Britain english not the american one so we usually go for this accent but for me and as some on my friend who learned english it's 95% based on video games,series,movie, american video so i have an american accent it really depends on where you learned your english i guess.
I have noticed that there are some who say her character sounds more like French-Canadian than actually *French,* so that could be a good reason for her accent.
What a creative, well done film from start to finish. This is my favorite Pixar flick. Remy: “If you are what you eat, then I only want to eat the good stuff.”
A missed win (hard to spot) that I absolutely love is that in the flashback scene the house is the same as the one in the beginning, implying that Remy lived with Ergo's mom (the grandmother with a shotgun) and learned to cook for her books at the beginning of the movie.
@@AndorRadnai I’ve always thought that even if Granny Is Mrs Ego was true, Remy still displayed personal genius by BAKING the ratatouille instead of boiling/stewing it (Even tho as OP points out, this probably makes it stop being Ratatouille at all), because he has his Reasons to do so to make Ego FEEL like a carefree child enjoying food again, and not about replicating Mom’s Cooking per se.
Ego's flashback always brings a tear to my eye. such a beautiful scene and done without dialogue needed to explain his feelings because pretty much everyone has something similar in their life to relate to that.
Another fun fact: the customer who asked for “what is new” is voiced by Thomas Keller, the chef of The French Laundry and the designer of all the food.
I think that ego himself is shaped like a coffin. It like wherever he goes he's going to "kill" the restaurant. This film is excellent, just like this video
One fun detail about this movie is that when they were making it they did the environment first then put Remy in to make sure it was at a rats scale for the movie and to really sell it they made it so when you are at a rats scale the further things get from they camera the get out of focus
At 3:05 you can see the burn scar on the cook's hand in the foreground. I have one almost exactly like it; it's a neat touch that really reminds you that this is a cook!
I also like the subversion of the movie holding up Anton's view that "Not everyone can cook" by showing that Linguini is pretty much useless in the kitchen.
As someone who has worked in a few high end restaurants the letters scratched into the pots and pans are often found in high end kitchens as a reminder of where said pot or pan goes when you are done with it. They mark them with scratches because marking them with tape could be dangerous because the tape could catch fire while in use and marking them with marker the marker would just wear of too fast. So yeah it's just a trick of the trade to keep things organized. A cool detail that I never caught when watching this.
When I have children I'm showing them movies that I grew up around like this one. I don't even know why, but this has always been my favorite movie. It's like you said, you can watch this thousands of times, but the ending always gets to you unexpectedly. Congratulations on the incoming baby! I hope that you and your wife are excited 😊
I love this movie. Seeing it as a teen it has stuck to me like glue, I still regularly have scenes from it pop into my head. I found it extremely inspiring and the message that "the best can come from anyone" is a motivation I carry to this day.
if you ever wondered why egos mom has not only a shotgun (and a lot of ammo) but a gas mask, this movie is set around the 1960, and seeing that she could be around 70 years old, it means she lived through WWII and the nazi ocuppied france (seeing how close she lives to Paris)

another easy to miss detail: one of Ego's lines is "if I don't like it, I don't swallow" and throughout the movie, he's shown as almost uncomfortably underweight, but at the very end when you see him in Remy's restaurant, he's noticeably heavier because he's actually *eating* that food
That definitely explains the comment Linguini shoots at Ego during the press conference, and it makes the impact of Remy's dish that much more meaningful in how he's at a much healthier weight by the end. That's what I call Fridge Brilliance.

-Showing devotion to art, one of the animators actually jumped in a pool while wearing a chef's outfit, so they could animate it properly.
-To make sure things were as accurate as possible, Pixar brought in Thomas Keller, the greatest chef in America and one of the greatest in the world, to help with the film.

You missed a win: Despite Colette voicing how much misogyny she had to fight to get where she is, Ego doesn't think twice about her being the Chef (he's wrong of course, but his reaction at the idea is one of delight rather than incredulity).
And this makes perfect sense, since the best cook he ever knew was a woman: his mother.
Good observation
Nothin like the food your mama makes for you
Well put!
I never thought of that. Nice. :-)
Very fair point
Another win: Remys movements, when he is on all four, is so much like a rat. Same with his ears twitching, nose moving, his fast breathe and his tail. I only noticed this after owning rats myself, he just straight up has characteristics like some of my boys.
So many movies with animals as a main character don't take into account how these animals move so it was actually so amazing to see a movie focusing on little behaviours that real rats do
I assume that the animators studied some rats and mice so they can accurately depict how mice and rats move and act since when Disney did the Lion King (particularly the first movie but I think they did the same thing with the sequel) the animators studied real lions in Africa when they were animating the Lion King so I don’t think it’s far fetched that Pixar studied some rats and mice for this film! :)
Edit- I also want to say the same thing with Bluesky with their movie “Rio” because I own a cockatiel and a macaw at home and the way the birds move and act is pretty accurate on how real birds act (like flying, squawking, and walking) is on point ya know?
Ur rats cook?
Agreed! A lot of times they're just animated like big mice, it was nice to see attention to detail there
@@moonbased7796 As a Disney nerd I just have to point out that Walt himself started the entire "studying the animal you're supposed to draw" thing back in the day when making "Bambi"... Disney pretty much have done with this every movie when they had to draw animals. For example for "Brother Bear" they watched two bear cubs playing in their studio... It's one of the things that just make Disney movies feel that much realer and make them come to life...
Just like UP, this is one of those movies that doesn't need a sequel. It's perfect all by itself. Not good for studio business who like to 'milk' a franchise dry these days.
However if they did a short about Doug & the dogs, I would watch it
But Up is getting a sequel. Seems to be centered on Doug and Carl living their life
@@monikakavaliunaite8017 Sad, UP needs to be left as a stand alone epic film. I suppose greed is always good
@@monikakavaliunaite8017 I don't know where you got that info, but Pixar has not said anything about a sequel for neither UP or Ratatouille. And Brad Bird himself said that the story is already told
@@monikakavaliunaite8017 Hmm I see. Seems to be more of a spin-off show rather than a proper sequel. But hey I'm a Pixar sucker so I'll probably watch it
As someone who’s experienced the flashback of a dish from childhood, noticing that Ego’s face gets color back in it is a wonderful detail!! The warmth comes from your chest and quickly makes its way to your cheeks and your ears grow warm, it’s a wonderful feeling :)
So no one is gonna talk about how he casually mentioned that his son is getting a little sibling? Those are such wonderfull news and i am so happy for you, also this is one of my fav animated movies, one of the reasons why i got into that field of work in the first place

I've always seen this as sort of a subtle tribute to Bob Ross, just with cooking instead if painting. Afterall, his iconic catch phrase was "anyone can paint".

@@EternalSushiMusic
To be fair, CinemaSins took the comment in good humor. He knows exactly what his channel is, and he isn't going to pretend otherwise.
I also love how Ego in the end is less emaciated and more fattened. "If I don't like it, I don't swallow." He likes everything Remy makes and never liked anything from any other restaurant before, hence his near-statved physique. It's a perfect echo of his entire outlook on life. Once you criticize everything, there's no enjoyment anymore but now that his entire worldview has been shattered by Remy's reveal, suddenly he's far happier and more fulfilled. Instead of critiquing everything in life he now enjoys everything in it.
One thing that is a possible theory, the house the rats were above was Ego's mother. A few details can be seen that show the exact same thing for each, and also showing how Remy got the recipe the way he likes it
I LOVE THIS
OH
I actually think it is more likely for it to be his grandmother, because I feel like his mother must have died, making Ego so grim, unable to have his mother’s precious food anymore.
@@dragonmb7 Damn.

I loved how when Skinner asks Linguini if he ever had a rat for a pet, Linguini honestly says "no" because he sees Remy as more of a friend and cooking partner
This is further nailed by the fact that Linguini was thoroughly intoxicated in the scene. And drunk people tend to be very honest, sometimes to a fault.

Magnum opus
I recently discovered a theory which states that Ego's mother, the one who cooked the ratatouille, is actually the grandma from the beginning. Which explains why Ego is so touched by the dish, it's because it IS his mother dish. You can compare the views of the house between the beginning and the flashback, there's a lot of similarities.
Came to coments just to see if i will be the first who´s gonna coment it here :D
I'm very sure Brad bird said they just reused the old lady's house for the flashback scene
The Grandmother looks absolutely nothing like Ego or his mother, and is way too short.
@@somepersonmcsomebody7501 maybe the dad was tall and it was a 50/50 chance of wether he was tall or short and he got the tallness instead of the shortness
The mother was pretty tall in the actual flashback scene.
"Paris seems like an amalgamation of different times throughout history" is the best recap of Paris' architecture I have ever heard
Well if you know Paris well enough you know it's far less romantic and much more stuffy than the movie pretends it to be. I want it for a fact that they never take either the Subway or the RER (local train service), the only transportations modes possible for Paris. Also I struggle to pinpoint where hte restaurant is supposed to be: it obviously has to be close by 1st arrondissement, because Remi can just walk to view the Eiffel tower and the Seine (name of the river). However these kind of restaurants and buildings would be more akin to the Quartier Latin and the Rue Sufflot nieghbourhood (near the Senate and Luxemburg Parc). But that's miles away from the Eiffel tower. I guess he just took some transportation means.
Pardon my ramblings, it feels very weird to see your city depicted in animation ^^
@@Cancoillotteman yeah i know i know. Living in Grenoble myself, but I had my fair bit of Paris :D just the statement is true, the art is but an imitation of the great city

"Ratatouille is a soup"... my grandma would be severly kicking your arse right here 😊
So we're not exactly south french (were the dish come from) but she's still been making it for over 50 years and it's time for a precision lesson : a ratatouille is a sort of pot thing. If I found liquid in mine I'd be worried haha
@Nick Fanchette well it's not exactly a stew either x) we french take pride in our cooking recipe we don't refer a meal as what it seems rather than what it is so a ratatouille is neither a stew or a soup it's a ratatouille wich as he's one property
@Nick Fanchette I mean, I get where you're coming from, and you could argue that the ratatouille the mom makes in the flashback counts as a vegetable stew, but a stew normally has no structure to it, and ratatouille is all about the structure. That coupled with the fact that it goes into the oven, which a stew doesn't either, I'd rather call it a baked dish.
J'avoue avoir tiqué aussi!! IT'S NOT A SOUP, IT'S ✨Ratatouille✨. Je pense qu'on peut considérer ça comme une variation d'un ragoût de légumes (eh encore?) Mais définitivement pas une soupe 😅
@Nick Fanchette moi aussi!
One of the things I like about the dish Ratatouille in the context of this film is that its represents the theme (which is why I think the title suits it well, plus the pun). Ratatouille is not some fancy, high-end dish, its a stew-type meal that "peasants" make (hence the cut to the French countryside, this is something they probably had all the time). But despite this the Ratatouille that Remi makes is still delicious and something new. Much like Remi, the dish comes from humble origins, but can still become something special.
special note: ratatouille is a stew not a soup.
Thank gosh, I was looking for this comment! Thank you! XD
Same thing pretty much
also, Remi isn't doing a confit Bialdi but a tian
Facts
So I’m guessing the thing he adds on top as kinda decoration, was closer to the dish
"Le Festin" - the music playing over the last scene absolutely makes me choke up it's a BEAUTIFUL piece.
I feel you but truly, we have to give true credit to wall rat when he sees Paris from a roof that's amazing.
That song carried me through my French lessons
People talking about how Ratatouille is 10 years old...
Of course it took cinemawins 10 years to fit eveything great about this masterpiece in under 20mins
When I saw this movie as a kid, I noticed that Remy combined a piece of cheese with a strawberry. So I tried it. Vermont Sharp and Strawberries have been a staple of my snacks ever since. It's stupid good.
Huh, neat.
Wait seriously? I didn't think they'd mix well
And now I have to try this
Thanks. I'm now going to try this.
@@rogueguardian Well, good cheeses should have a certain degree of flavorful saltiness to them. And strawberries release more sweetness with salt. Combined with the milky aspect of the cheese (depending on which type) and you'd be in for a delightful treat.
I think when Anton Ego flashes back to that memory he is not remembering how his mom cooked ratatouille but more of the moment where he decides that he loves food and Remy's cooking reminds him of why he started critiquing.
"and being pregnant will do that to you" ?! holy crap congrats
Can I just point out that the final song during the credits is titled "End Creditouilles"?
This is one of those movies that makes you wanna eat everything u see in it.

8:23 One of my favorite part in a movie. I haven’t seen someone stop in a mid spit take like that.
Although the Internet's websites would like to dispute this fact, we know the truth. The best content in the world is made on TH-cam. The best content on TH-cam is made on CinemaWins. And the best content on CinemaWins, some say, is made by Lee.
13:25 something that i only caught rewatching this movie half a year ago: Ego was the sponsor of the restoraunt! i somehow never caught that line about him being successful in small business now
Ego's flashback to his childhood home shows several similarities to the old woman's house at the beginning suggesting that was his mother.
...and Congratulations!!!
I saw this too and I’m kind of surprised it wasn’t mentioned because it could be that Remy saw how to cook through the mother’s cooking. It would’ve made a whole circle coincidence type of thing that’s super cool :)
It was the mother - therefore the flashback
It could also be the grandmother... that would explain the death motifs a lot better...
Ego's speech (article) at the end always makes me emotional. It's just so well written and delivered. Also congratulations to you and your wife!
_how dare you not win the "remy making soup for the first time" scene._
I agree on that, but no human is perfect, and Lee is human. Let's assume Lee was gonna but he forgot!!
OR THE FIRST REVEAL OF PARIS?
Man, I love this movie. Ego’s Flashback is one of my favorite scenes in all of cinema.
Huh, for some reason I always thought that he had been beaten up while riding his bike, maybe cause at that time I was beaten up a lot at school.
I always thought he got bullied and immediately went home.
And well, I get bullied.
Maybe we were all made to relate to ego because of the lack of context
I always thought that too
"I don't 'like' food, I LOVE IT. If I don't love it I don't SWALLOW👿" to this day, one of the creepiest things I've ever heard in a Pixar movie. The delivery alone was...chilling
That also opens up a whole new can of worms, like how healthy is Ego if he isn't actually eating?
You didn't mention my favorite part: Ego drops the pen in slo-mo, and it lands with a mighty sound. One of the few times in adulthood I laughed out loud in a theater.

This movie always brings me to tears because it helped spark my love for cooking in the kitchen with my family as a child. The scene with young Ego taking a taste of that Ratatouille reminds me of every time I eat my mom's cooking. I get taken back to days when I was sick in bed and my mom would take care of me, giving me oatmeal, toast sticks, and sweet cold tea made by my grandpa. This movie makes me smile and reminds me of just how much I love my mom. We watched it a lot when it first came out and it's one of our favorites. It's also one of the few movies I never grow tired of and feel personally connected to.

Ego read the quote as “everyone can cook.” This is why we need literacy. Now an amazing chef is dead
I've never been so offended when you said that ratatouille is a soup lmao. Although the movie version isn't quite the real recipe it's still near the real deal. It's a blend of tomatoes, courgette ( or zucchini) and a few pepper thinly cut, it has some vegetables juice in the end but that's because those liberate some water usually
Thank god someone knew this was wrong...
Well, what Rémy cooks in the movie is a tian : still authentic Provencal cuisine.
I'm pretty sure the video was calling ratatouille a soup in jest... Or maybe provocation.
Agreed, Ratatouille is a vegetables only ragout or stew in English. Not a soup.
I also had a confused reaction to the soup declaration 😂 I was under the impression it was a stew, or a loose vegetable casserole. Thanks for clearing that up.

As a chef (and just someone who appreciates the art in food), this is one of my favorite movies. It captures so many of the ideas and feelings that we all have to wrestle with when dealing with a job where, as she puts it, "every second counts and you can't be mommy"
0:28
So I just wanted to point out the insane little detail of the old timey television- that ringing frequency. They captured that so damn well. My mum's still got got a new mode of that in her room- and every time I come over it just- gives me a headache :'D
Props Pixar. Yall did good. Attention to detail never disappoints.
Apparently that high pitch range is the first part of a person's hearing that stops working as they get older. Most of the people over 35 that I've talked to about it say they can't hear that noise at all and haven't been able to since they were younger.
"I'm going to take a quick break to block every hole in my house" fun fact, while mice can fit through a dime gap rats have to have a quarter size. But rats can chew through concrete and mice can only do wood soooo... yeah. Block up those gaps with copper mesh and caulk (wish I wasn't speaking from mouse experience. In a BRAND NEW HOUSE no less, I thought that was something that only happened to old crumbling homes!).

As someone who works in a kitchen, "every second counts" and "making a dish like a mommy" are complementary. Spend every second you have making sure it is perfect.
Ratatouille is honestly one my favourite movies. It just always makes me feel all warm and happy inside, just like the comfort food it builds its climax on. Great video!
You and Schaffrilas put into words everything I love about Ratatouille! When I was growing up, my dad and I always had a vegetable garden, and every summer we would watch Ratatouille and make it with the vegetables we had grown. I think that's why the scene where Ego remembers his childhood has always hit so hard for me.
I believe that the old grannies house at the beginning of the movie, and Anton’s nostalgic childhood memory of his mother’s cooking and home, ARE THE SAME.
Someone asked an animator if the old lady is Ego's mom and they said it's not true and they were just reusing assets.
Idk if anyone has mentioned this yet but in the scenes with the strawberry and cheese tasting the animator Michel Gange has synesthesia (most often associated with seeing music but in this case seeing taste) and based the art on what he was tasting which was then handed to the composer to make music from that art. In my opinion this is filmmaking working on all cylinders to make one perfect experience!
it's a cute detail that Colette and Linguini both have big noses, I know most don't think of it specifically but it lets them stick out a little visually when it comes to most animated couples. Also it's the cutest ship ever because it doesn't feel like 'oh now I have nothing wrong with you because we accidentally touched hands once' ^'w'x
"Ratatouille is a soup"
Me, a frenchman : SO YOU HAVE CHOSEN DEATH
(It's a stew, not a soup. You don't liquify the vegetables to make ratatouille.)
As for the accents? It's all around not perfect, but there are some good basics from Janeane Garofalo and Ian Holm (especially the latter). Garofalo mostly misses the french R (which actually sounds like the scottish/welsh CH and is pretty much NEVER skipped. Holm gets it right, however), but most of her vowels are good, and most importantly she has one of the big basics of french pronunciation that most shitty movie french "accents" don't get : french isn't accentuated. You pronounce every syllable and word in a sentence with the same level of tone.
I was going to comment the same thing (especially about ratatouille being a soup, HOW DARE HE), but you've done it better than I could ever have!
To be fair, I find a lot of French people tend to gravitate towards an English accent, the more they learn the language, since that's the closest English speaking nation. To me, Janeane Garofalo sounds like a French person trying to mimic an English accent, but still has most of her French accent, which would explain things like why her R is slightly off. I only lived in France for half a year, and am far from an expert in the language, but I find the accent pretty convincing, and appreciate that she doesn't try to be too exaggerated.
@@davidmhh9977 well in France english class tend to make us learn Britain english not the american one so we usually go for this accent but for me and as some on my friend who learned english it's 95% based on video games,series,movie, american video so i have an american accent it really depends on where you learned your english i guess.
I have noticed that there are some who say her character sounds more like French-Canadian than actually *French,* so that could be a good reason for her accent.
I don't argue that it's a stew, but you don't always need to liquify the vegetables to make a soup.
What a creative, well done film from start to finish. This is my favorite Pixar flick.
Remy: “If you are what you eat, then I only want to eat the good stuff.”

The closest you'll get is probably Mouse Hunt. Check it out. Used to watch it all the time as a kid on VHS.
real rat will look disgusting while cooking god no
They won't, it's one of their less popular ones, and also it's pixar
A missed win (hard to spot) that I absolutely love is that in the flashback scene the house is the same as the one in the beginning, implying that Remy lived with Ergo's mom (the grandmother with a shotgun) and learned to cook for her books at the beginning of the movie.
Except that was just re-used as a time-save and no actual connection was intended.
@@Entarra Which I prefer, as it takes away from Remy‘s gut feeling choosing the winning dish.
@@AndorRadnai I’ve always thought that even if Granny Is Mrs Ego was true, Remy still displayed personal genius by BAKING the ratatouille instead of boiling/stewing it (Even tho as OP points out, this probably makes it stop being Ratatouille at all), because he has his Reasons to do so to make Ego FEEL like a carefree child enjoying food again, and not about replicating Mom’s Cooking per se.
Ego's flashback always brings a tear to my eye. such a beautiful scene and done without dialogue needed to explain his feelings because pretty much everyone has something similar in their life to relate to that.
Another fun fact: the customer who asked for “what is new” is voiced by Thomas Keller, the chef of The French Laundry and the designer of all the food.
the main reason its good: the sound of the crust listen *insert satisfying noise*
I think that ego himself is shaped like a coffin. It like wherever he goes he's going to "kill" the restaurant. This film is excellent, just like this video
8:30 i didnt even notice that last time! i got chills now...😦
One fun detail about this movie is that when they were making it they did the environment first then put Remy in to make sure it was at a rats scale for the movie and to really sell it they made it so when you are at a rats scale the further things get from they camera the get out of focus
“Everything great about ratatouille”

At 3:05 you can see the burn scar on the cook's hand in the foreground. I have one almost exactly like it; it's a neat touch that really reminds you that this is a cook!

I also like the subversion of the movie holding up Anton's view that "Not everyone can cook" by showing that Linguini is pretty much useless in the kitchen.
As someone who has worked in a few high end restaurants the letters scratched into the pots and pans are often found in high end kitchens as a reminder of where said pot or pan goes when you are done with it. They mark them with scratches because marking them with tape could be dangerous because the tape could catch fire while in use and marking them with marker the marker would just wear of too fast. So yeah it's just a trick of the trade to keep things organized. A cool detail that I never caught when watching this.
When I have children I'm showing them movies that I grew up around like this one.
I don't even know why, but this has always been my favorite movie. It's like you said, you can watch this thousands of times, but the ending always gets to you unexpectedly.
Congratulations on the incoming baby! I hope that you and your wife are excited 😊
I love this movie. Seeing it as a teen it has stuck to me like glue, I still regularly have scenes from it pop into my head. I found it extremely inspiring and the message that "the best can come from anyone" is a motivation I carry to this day.
6:20 french viewer here, I can confirm, she's killing it with her french accent !
(Your pronounciation of Vive la Résistance is on point too btw)
if you ever wondered why egos mom has not only a shotgun (and a lot of ammo) but a gas mask, this movie is set around the 1960, and seeing that she could be around 70 years old, it means she lived through WWII and the nazi ocuppied france (seeing how close she lives to Paris)
And that also applies to nuclear weapons and the fear of nuclear attacks from the Warsaw pact and soviets at that time too!
