      They arent just surviving on the remakes, they're thriving on them. The beauty and the beast remake is one of the highest grossing films of all time. They don't have to try unless everyone just stops supporting Disney in the next few months. Disney hasn't necessarily stopped trying, and they've still put out some great movies during the last decade (mainly in the form of the MCU and the stuff that WDAS put out) but this is more out of choice than obligation.

    As someone who wants to be an artist as well as animator but don’t have the confidence that I can be great. There’s two quotes in this movie that made me increase my self-esteem
    “You must be imaginative, strong-hearted, you must try things that may not work but you not must not let anyone define your limits of where you come from. Your only limit is your soul”

      I'm an artist myself. And I gotta say, Gusteau is RIGHT.
      In my opinion, the art, animation, and film industry relies on too much of the familiar, and is very unkind to new talent.
      Take it from me, I tried to be an animator, and I got out before it was too late.
      It's better to learn, and grow by acting on your own volition.
      Of course, know how to take criticism and never feel bad about being new or inexperienced. That's far worse than letting someone telling you you can't achieve it.

      @@thotslayer9914 That's a rather kind interpretation of libertarianism, and the harshest interpretation of this videos definition of stealing, equating it to welfare. Self actualization cannot occur without a certain base of satisfied needs. Libertarianism fails to satisfy that need for anyone besides a wealthy few, and as such fails to meet the requirements to achieve this videos ideal, which does not hinge the right to express human potential on resources. I agree with the video that these capabilities are inherent. As such any system that fails to provide a base for that potential for the majority is fundamentally broken. Sorry for the long response, I just get sick of people equating an ideal for the individual to what a governing body owes to the people it governs. Plus libertarianism is a fundamentally broken system for anyone besides those who are already affluent when such a system is implemented.

    This is why I love 's videos. He presents a deep philosophical perspective on media that not only helps explain it's message, but overall further elevates it. To contrast this, if a channel like Film Theory were to make a video on Ratatouille, the title would be something along the lines of "Does Remy From Ratatouille Have Schizophrenia?????" This demeans the media from which the videos contents are derived.

      I wouldn't say that it demeans it. It would just be tackling it from a different angle. Film Theory isn't a thematic analysis channel to begin with, rather it is primarily to entertain and speculate about plot. Having videos such as what you described would suit the purpose of the channel. As long as people enjoy it for what it is, I see no problem.

      @@NorMadLad I'd disagree, it doesn't tackle it from another angle, it doesn't tackle the film at all. Rather it just speculates and conjectures on superficial details that the film uses as a vehicle for story-telling, rather than actually engaging with the story itself or even acknowledging it. It would be engaging in the story if the video was about how mat's interpretation of remy's perceived schizophrenia was in some way conceptually meaningful or relevant to the story's overarching narrative. But if the video is just about analyzing the scenes where remy is talking to the ghost of geusteu and comparing details to symptoms of schizophrenia, then making conclusions of remy's mental health of that; then that is not engaging with the film's story or themes at all because mat would just be making observations and then speculating on the mental health of a fictional character (whose mental health does not actually exist beyond what is essentially a vehicle for story-telling in the film, cause remy is a cartoon rat and not real). Basically, asking "does this character have schizophrenia?" is a pointless waste of time and effort that doesn't discuss anything relevant to the story, compared to a question like "what is the narrative or thematic significance of this character potentially having schizophrenia?" which does indeed tackle the story from a different angle, and one where there is at the very least potential for meaningful discussion and insight on the film.

      @@maxskellington910 Who are you to say that there isn't a deep meaning present? I have always been one to advocate for the idea that art is separate from its creator once it has been created. The way one interprets a piece of art can be vastly different from how another does, including the author themselves. Just because this movie has the image as nothing more than a kids movie with adult appeal, by looking at the dialogue and interaction between the characters, we can extract a deeper meaning from it, even if it wasn't consciously present when the scriptwriters were drafting the script. I also resent your statement that he is looking at the film at a broad perspective. He is analyzing the key themes and ideas that the movie brings forth, using specific scenes and dialogue interactions to further his points. Your opinion on the video is just that, your opinion. Whether or not you believe that Ratatouille has deeper meaning is up to you. But do not disregard 's analysis just because you don't agree with it.

    @18:40 One thing I love about this part of the film is that it doesn't take one side of the "following tradition vs. moving forward" theme like 90% of other films/shows do: It establishes a nice balance of respecting and honoring what came before us, valuing the lessons of old as a MEANS of growth rather than dismissing them solely as a product of their time. Even though Remi improves upon Gusteau's mistakes and the film criticizes the stagnant attitudes/actions of some of the characters like Skinner, it never dismisses Gusteau's legacy and he is still always seen as a mentor figure whose example holds immense worth. A subtle example of how this balance works is in the Ratatouille recipe scene at the end of the film. On one hand, it was Remi's decision to choose that particular recipe--and do his own take on it, based on his interaction with Colette in the scene. On the other, the reason why Ego was able to feel so strongly and enjoy the meal so much was because it touched something deeper in connection to his childhood. It wasn't something all that new, over-the-top, or overly inventive: It was a common dish that brought Ego back familiar days. The dish was indeed something unexpected, but it was in its callback to something of a more humble, meaningful origin.

    Not gonna lie, I cried from this a bit.
    I consider myself an artist, I lost my motivation due to a dead in job getting me nowhere. I've worked there for nearly 3 years now. This video hit me hard in that kind of emotional way that could affect an artist. I highly value creative thought and imagination, it's the one thing I have that keeps me going besides certain other things like my love for anime, gaming, film, and my family. Without my creativity I would lose a major part of my soul that makes me, me. I also value the creativity of others, everything we have today in the modern world is because of someone perhaps from the smallest of places stopped and said "I want to dream big". Going off topic a bit but one of the greatest arguments I have for people who say Original Characters(OCs) are cringe, is that every single fictional character ever was once an OC themselves and if you say OCs are cringe you're admitting that someone like Darth Vader is cringe or that Iron Man is cringe or someone like Goku is cringe. It makes absolutely no sense at all. OCs are how new, potentially great characters are born. That is why I value creativity so much. Embrace the new and respect the old. Thank you for this video sir, you made a subscriber out of me.

    So, I’m reading a book called how to read literature as a professor, and I’m surprised that none of the chapters are about becoming human. Listening to this midway has already began to make me think about other things, like NieR: Automata, and how what you say applies to it, such as becoming a rational animal, and how that is represented through the robots disconnecting from the network. They begin to think on their own, becoming a rational animal (well robot) and take the first step towards developing a relationship with the androids, similar to how the rats begin making a relationship with the humans. While I haven’t finished NieR: Automata, I’d like to see how it develops, and I’ll keep this video in mind.

    As someone in the comments once said, Ratatouille is a fine wine of Pixar. It's an amazingly well-done movie, and you know what? I'm glad there were no sequels. The story is amazing as it is, and it has the most excellent characters! Anton Ego, for example, is an awesome anti-villain type of character, who is, despite being shown to us like a typical snob, proves to have no hypocrisy in himself, recognizing Remy's excellent cooking for what it is and fully accepting the truth about the cook behind it, going as far as to risk everything to try and defend that discovery he had made that night. Anton's review at the end of the movie is one of the best speeches I've ever heard!

    do all 'rational animals' inherently have the potential to be excellent in what they may choose to be excellent at? rather, does choosing to act on one's values and creativity always mean they will be successful and happy? what if Remy could not ever cook something considered good by anyone? should he continue to strive? if so, how many failures until its worth moving on to something else?

      Only if they have the talent for it. You can strive for excellence even if you don't have the talent for it, but it will be harder. With volitional choice, standard and effort, excellence is possible for all rational animals. Remy had the talent in identifying ingredients, but he used that talent creatively with cooking. Linguini is a good example. He has no talent for cooking and created a soup that induces vomit. He could try to become a chef, but he wouldn't go very far, even with a lot of effort. He only achieved excellence with a career that integrated with his talents. With introspection, you can know when something doesn't work for you; there's no real set number of failures.

    This video editorial is perfect in every way to which I can describe Ratatouille after watching it for the first time. It’s funny, because I saw its rip-off "Ratatoing" first before Ratatouille. Comparing both movies together, while thinking over after watching this video, it makes me appreciate the art of animation as a whole for its beauty and creativity, being made from people with a passion and love for it, while rip-offs like Ratatoing are only made for money.
    Stealing played a big part in both movies, where one says it’s wrong no matter what, while the other is somewhat glorified in order to maintain a business. Ratatoing’s plot revolves around a rat and his friends stealing fresh food from a neighboring restaurant and using that stolen food to make their own food and sell it to customers at their own restaurant, while a rival restaurant tries figuring out how they get them so they can steal the fresh food and run them out of business. The plot’s message alone of stealing goes against everything what Ratatouille stands for. It’s as if the rip-off glorifies thievery and that if you steal, you too can become successful.
    The 'movie' alone has many problems of its own with its terrible story and animation, but its message is absolutely wrong. The company behind it has made many other rip-offs of other highly acclaimed animated movies from Pixar, Disney, and Dreamworks. They alone is a representation of Skinner from Ratatouille, as they are too stubborn for creativity and making anything new, going as far as to steal someone else’s work and make their own just to make money. They lack passion and creativity, and that’s something they do not care about at all except making a quick dollar to trick naive people into buying their versions of highly acclaimed movies, but in reality...it’s garbage, not even worth stealing from a store or on the Internet.

    In order to fulfill his dream, Remy needed courage and faith in him. He's just like humans, he wanted a change and he's the only one that saw good in Linguini, even if his father showed him what happens to the curious rats... . Moreover, he has a talent, he knows how to combine the food(sweet with salted). I always liked "Ratatouille", especially when Ego changes, his life, as a critic, is not a happy one... but, when he ate what Remy prepared for him, he remembered his mother, preparing the same food, that always made him happy, impressive!

    Random TH-cam recommendation generator brought me here. I just want to say that you have a soothing and convictional voice that made this video a pleasure to listen to.

    I never really understood the blueprints of what Ratatouille had to offer. Thanks to your analysis and summarization, I think I just learned a very important lesson about life and creation, and will probably effect me for the rest of my life. I want to give my biggest thanks to you, and I hope you have a very good day. ❤️
