Do you think you're going to do a first time reaction to Encanto when it's out on disney+ or are you just going to watch it in theaters and do a reaction later? I don't really mind what you choose, I'm just curious.
If you start doing christmas movies, there's one that I like but that isn't really a well-known or popular film, even though it used to come on all the time on TV back in the day. It's a Disney flick called "One Magic Christmas". It's live-action and I guess it's a family film, but it has a downward trajectory for the first two thirds of the flick, in a tonal sense. It has some religious imagery in it (most christmas things do), but this one is more about family and shit, and it's kindof a feel-good-ish movie for me (as an atheist) for a bunch of reasons. 1) I like dark, emotional movies and there's a couple of scenes in this flick that are incredibly emotional. Mary Steenburgen is fucking incredible in it. 2) I love movies that can be unsettling in unexpected ways, and again... there's a couple of scenes in the movie that are really creepy and unsettling without being scary. Just moody. 3) The title makes it sound like it's some wholesome, whimsical film, but it really really isn't. The film should probably have trigger warnings for the type of content that's in it, cause it is not the happiest of movies for a good chunk of it. 4) It's from 1985, and for some reason there was a thing in a lot of movies back then to portray things in a much more grounded way. It's a shockingly gritty movie. There are cars driving around with big rust spots and dirt all over them, the roads aren't the cleanest, the snow near the roads has that filthy street slush splashed all over them, the town it's set in has that kinda run-down midwest sort of vibe to it, where the big factories moved out or shut down and now the local economy is stalled out... It's a super grounded and real-feeling movie, which I think makes the very few moments of supernatural kind of crap work. It's not all magic and shit. It's literally just a couple of moments at the end of the movie that have any sort of supernatural quality to them. It's kinda like "It's A Wonderful Life", but with way less cornball shit. Just a super-good, mostly grounded holiday story that wants you to reflect on the fact that holidays are supposed to be about the people around you - family or not - and not about any other stupid bullshit or buying things or having things. Hell, not even holidays. Just... people matter, not things. It's my favorite christmas-time film for that reason. It almost ignores that fact that it's a holiday movie. It just uses the holiday as an excuse to focus the story.
Also when Colette trains Linguini she says “You can’t cook like Mommy.”, but when Remy cooks for Ego it is the reminder of the cooking like Mom that brings him back and makes him love it.
That’s honestly the best though. I made my dad a big batch of Borscht last year for Christmas and he said it tasted just like my how my great aunty would make for him back in the day 😁 the best compliment I could get tbh
Explains why Remy didn't agree with her when it came to preparing dishes. Haha Remy just knew how to hit even the most nefarious critics with the feeling of home
One detail I love is how Ego is so thin as he says “If I don’t like it I don’t swallow”, but once he receives good food he starts to put weight on by the end. Also the fact that Ego is voiced by legendary actor Peter O’ Toole makes him even better!
Also, another good one is how Anton reacts to Colette potently being the cook. Colette was talking earlier about how hard it is to get respect being a woman in a man's job, Anton immediately offers to shake her hand, showing that he respects her regardless.
I love the fact the animators put the little details, like the cook's hands and wrists have burn and cut marks from dealing with fire, knifes, and hot metals. I saw a real chef react to this movie and he pointed it out and says that's very very accurate.
People are pointing out Collette said, "You cannot be mommy!" and how that comes full circle at the end when ratatouille reminds Ego of his mother...but I think it's also a nod to the fact she faces sexism in the fine dining industry due to her gender. She has internalized it somewhat and thinks you can't "cook like a woman", you need to "cook like a man" in order to get respect. It's such great commentary that I really appreciate being included in the movie, but you aren't beaten over the head with it, you have to take some time to notice. Really good story telling.
Another small detail i love is how, when he brings Collette out, Ego immediately assumes she's the chef. Showing that, at least to him, gender doesnt matter. What matters is the food.
"In the past, I have made no secret of my disdain for Chef Gusteau's famous motto: Anyone can cook. But I realize, only now do I truly understand what he meant. Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere." - Anton Ego
The flashback to him as a child was supposed to show that it will taste just like his mother cooking Ratatouille is a peasant dish and He was a peasant that’s what that scene is supposed to show
@@a.g.demada5263 it’s literally a peasant dish haha, it’s a whole category of foods that were traditionally made and served by peasants and which are usually very simple, cheap, and easy to prepare. They’re all often associated with “home cooking” as is the case here (for my American homies reading this: think “soul food”, greasy spoon type stuff, maybe even a PB&J)
@@moosessurus8172 what is it? zucchini and tomato sauce? I always assumed Remi found a way to make it delicious. I hated zucchini and squash growing up cuz we had it in our garden and had to eat it all the time. bleh. lol
Someone once maid a good point that perhaps Ego is so critical of food because to him his mother was the best cook, and no one could ever measure up to her.
A little fact for this one: during the grandiose scene of rats cooking, one of them beats the steak with his fists, like Rocky from the eponymous movie. And also the magic number of Pixar (A113) is on the tag on the ear of the huge ex-lab rat
Linguini let it get to his head but he also is worried about disappointing people. And of course, Linguini has no way to know Remy suddenly wants recognition when he realized he didn’t want it to be revealed to Colette. How could he know that Remy has changed his mind?
Colette’s cut-throat tactics in showing Linguini the ropes in proper kitchen mannerisms and cooking habits has Chef Gordon Ramsay have a run for his money.
One little detail: Ego's childhood house looks like the old woman's at the beggining. That started a theory that the old woman is Ego's mother and because Remy learned to cook the way we assume the woman learned (watching Gusteau's show) then the food was like his childhood food.
One detail I really like and it's hard to see so very easy to miss but Colette actually has a scar on her wrist hence her " mark of a chef " meaning she was not always an amazing cook, she burned and cut herself just as much as Linguini did
Every chef I’ve met has those marks, they’re burns from the oven, putting things in and taking them out, esp when u need to do it quickly, u get burned quite often
Ah, Ratatouille! Out of all of Brad Bird’s directorial efforts, this is my personal favorite of his! Great story, memorable characters, gorgeous animation, great music by Michael Giacchino and a fantastic ending with a great speech by the late Peter O’Toole, this is one of Pixar’s most mature and most introspective works! By the way, this film came out in 2007, not 2009. Pete Docter’s Up, which I also highly recommend, was the studio’s 2009 offering.
The lesson of this movie is probably the best part. A great successor can come from anyone. It’s an amazing lesson that proves no matter who we are, where we come from, or anything like that, we can be and do anything as long as we put our passion and hard work into it.
Always figured that Anton Ego's mother was undiscovered but was nonetheless the finest cook France ever had, that would explain why he never found another cook who's cooking he actually liked.
Nick, I'm so happy you've decided to stick with your passions despite a lack of support. I'm sorry it's been hard for you, but you are absolutely killing it! I love how genuine you are and how invested you get, and you're not afraid to get emotional. Definitely one of my favourite reactors.
They say if you do what you love, you won’t work a day in your life. In other words, if your career is something you are passionate about, it doesn’t feel like work.
I felt bad for the staff when Linguini showed the truth about Remy being the chef instead of Linguini himself. Them walking out on him was hard to watch as we got to know each of these chefs and for them to just leave is kinda sad.
Whenever I start to doubt following my dream as being a writer and an artist, I always end up coming back to Ratatouille and Whisper of the Heart. Both of them put such a deep determination and confidence in pursuing what I want to do with my life. They make me feel like my simple yet passionate dream of making art for the sake of creation is an honorable, respectful, and important choice. They're both magical films.
I recommend you check out Skinner and Gusteau’s cut conversation that was in the DVD. It was a cut scene that explains both their ideologies and why both were wrong.
They sent the artists and animators to cooking school for a time so they could capture the true elements of how everything was done, glamorous or not. Pixar’s dedication to detail never fails to bring believability to even the strangest of stories!! 😆❤️
I was so happy with the ending! Remy got to follow his dreams of cooking while being able to keep his human friends and rat clan and even got to be a chef in his own restaurant! He's happy, successful, he's making people happy, and supported by everyone! Even by the man that was considered "The Grim Critic"! One of my favorite movies!
Pixar does so well in showing realistic ending. The restaurant gets shut down, in Up Carl doesn’t take the house to the falls, Monsters University shows that Sully and Mike didn’t graduate and began work in the mail room, Toy Story the toys don’t go with Andy. It’s said that the dreams of the characters don’t come true but they still end up with a “happily ever after”, just not one that was expected. And life is like that things happen you wouldn’t expect and sometimes those are the best things to happen to you. And to end Ratatouille on a very sad note, rats only live to two years old, three at a max and rarely. So Remy wouldn’t have lived long after the opening of the new restaurant.
"Don't just hork it down" is, oddly, the quote I took with me from the theatre when I first saw this film. My next stop was at the food court at the theatre's mall, and there is no question that I enjoyed that meal (which was of ordinary food-court quality) much more than I would have otherwise. I didn't just hork it down; I was actually _tasting_ it.
Bro u have no idea how much this movie is nostalgic to me OMG I remember seeing the trailer of this movie as a kid, I was in my bed in my hold house and .. well I used to LOVE watching disney/pixar movies before the actual movie in the DVD I remember watching the trailer of this one and... wow NOSTALGIA... bro I HATE the nostalgic feeling, I used to love nostalgia but now I hate lol makes me remind of my childhood and how I will never be able to comeback to the old times...
nostalgia is a mix of happiness, comfort, and sadness...it's a very complex emotion. it's good not to get too wrapped up in nostalgia tbh, but there's nothing wrong with wanting to feel it from time to time
I love to watch your reactions, they all seem so genuine. And seeing a grown adult man tearing up at exactly the same moments as me increases my sympathy for you. ☺️
I'd put this as my favourite Pixar film, just a hair above Brad Bird's other film The Incredibles. The film has so many layers to it. My favourite would be how Remy is more of a human than Chef Skinner is (humans create, explore, make art), while Skinner is more of a rat than Remy (food is fuel, cheap frozen foods strictly for consuming so your tank doesn't run dry).
I appreciate this ending of this movie so much. Keeping it realistic that he looses the restaurant over all of this, but keeps pushing forward and supporting Remy. I love how Linguini finds his true calling as a front of house manager!
LOL I love that line, "I'm a figment of your imagination! If you didn't know, how could I?!" Anton Egot's flashback to his childhood is probably my favorite scene in the movie. It communicates so much without dialogue. Similarly I also really appreciate the moment when Linguini tells the truth to the entire staff, and without dialogue you can tell just how hurt they are, betrayed even. The kitchen staff are such great minor characters, it's a shame we don't really see them again after that.
I'm sure they respect you. My folks talked to us when we were teens about our futures and jobs. They wanted the best for us but made it clear that we could choose any path. They just wanted us to make a conscious decision. Some jobs are harder than others and may need more planning ect to get to your ultimate life goals. It's only natural for folks to worry about their kids and advise for things they have experience with. I also appreciated their input as many times they've run into or seen things I wouldn't have known to consider.
This is one of my favorite movies, if not my favorite!! I've seen it around 20 times or so, and I've got most of the lines memorized too!! I love how this movie is more so for adults and also can be enjoyed by children. The animation is phenomenal, the writing, and all the little details. Anton Ego's speech at the end is so well written as well as the whole message of "it doesn't matter where you come from, you can still become someone great and add something to this world." There are so many beautiful lines in this movie. I love the whole Paris setting and the camera angles used in this movie. The whole creative concept of how Remy uses Linguini's hair to control him. I love LOVE the music in this, just the soft background melodies are so good. I also appreciate that the movie is called, 'Ratatouille' instead of being named after Remy although many people call Remy 'Ratatouille' because of the title fjkgkg This movie has just a special place in my heart especially getting to see it in theaters the year it came out although I was young when I first saw it. I love seeing your reactions and it makes me happy seeing your reaction to a comfort movie of mine
That part where Remy's dad asked him if cooking was important to him, I love it so much! Nobody has ever simply asked me that before. I have had to show everyone that I love what I do, so I can totally relate to that. 😭😅
The Ratatouille that Remy and Colette prepare for Ego is a proper dish and the method of cooking displayed is pretty much accurate, the only thing that gets left out is that this dish takes over 4 hours to prepare
Your discussion near the end explaining your personal connections with the film made me tear up. I’m glad you’re so passionate about TH-cam and love doing it! Your reactions are so genuine and heartfelt 😊
I love how in this movie Ego it’s meant to be intimidating, and you’re trying to hint that he was obviously based off of vampire. The way his room is shaped like a coffin, the fact that it’s time for your looked like a skull.
Fun fact: the rat killer shop that the father shows Remi in this movie is inspired on a real shop they saw when walking throu Paris. I love how they portray two diferent kinds of people: the kind that sees something like that and decides never to even question It, and the kind who's reaction was to go against It. Like, the father was so sure that showing him this would be the thing that would definitly convince him, but It only makes him stand up prounder than ever
The review at the end and how you linked your personal life to the movie. My heart!!! We support you wholeheartedly Nick! Thank you for sharing such a personal perspective and for gracing us with your commentary and being one of the most genuine TH-camrs out there who isn’t afraid to cry or show how he really feels in response to the media he’s watching.
Nick, your story at the end really touched me so I just have to let you know that your videos are what I look forward to every week 😊 you’re amazing and we all believe in you!
I think this is my favorite of all the Ratatouiille reactions I've seen. It was really like getting to experience a favorite movie as new all over again through you. Thanks, Nick!
So glad you enjoyed this Nick! I had a feeling the story would move you! 😊💙 And I speak for many when I say we are happy you chose to peservere and start your channel despite the lack of support. We truly love you here ❤❤❤
Maybe try "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" (1970), "The Year Without a Santa Claus "(1974), and "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer "(1964). The holy trinity of Christmas specials when I was a kid
Thanks so much for sharing! I love watching your videos because it feels like I get to re-experience all of these films with a friend for the first time. Your genuine nature and reactions are what keep me coming back, so please don’t give up on your dream, you’re the real deal ❤️
I like how you made a connection with remi at the end. Your little speech about you doing TH-cam because it makes you happy despite what others say. I get it as well. I'm a painter so I get what your saying.
"You're right! I should *listen to you-!* (slaps himself) ...ouch. (continues to cook)" It was always hilarious to me, like Remi and Linguini are arguing while Linguini is pretending to act by his own will, it's just too funny
When are you reacting to Maleficent 2? The second one is way more better and darker than the first one waiting patiently for you to react to it, Thanks! 🖤
For the record, ratatouille is delicious. It's simple, wholesome. It can be as humble or as haute cuisine as you like. It's supposed to be a summer stew but I prefer it in the winter.
The diner that asks what the chef has that's new is actually the movie's chef consultant, legendary chef Thomas Keller. The recipe for Ratatouille they use at the end is his own recipe for a variation of it, called confit biyaldi.
amazing reaction as always the entire scene with Ego towards the end is very powerful. mainly because they made it feel so natural and non preachy, that is art of itself
Fun theory with a lot of evidence to it. If you pay attention the house at the beginning with the old lady is the same house Anton Ego used to live at. The theory goes that the old lady is either his grandmother or his aged mother.
nickflix with no beard i like it🧑🏻👍and i love ratouile🐀👨🍳❤ its soo underrated but it is one of my favorite pixar movies and yes nick this movie make me hungry when i saw this movie today love you nickflix❤ have a good day✌☀️😎🤙
Jesus... I had never seen this movie but that scene with all the dead rats in the traps hanging there by their broken necks is a new level of DARK for a Pixar movie.
To be completely honest I ignore critics like that because they always expect to find something wrong, and the brain is powerful and will create that problem because that person is already planning on what to write about the meal even before he gets it. And of course everyone wants to keep their job so they do what people wanna see or hear. Complaints. We are cruel creatures and sometimes love to see someone get bashed. I listen to local reviews and reactions. Because the locals, especially in Paris, are gonna be careful on what they claim is good food. Locals are the best critics because they can eat those foods regularly and be able to give an honest review because they know the good and bad days and how often things happen.
This movie feels important to me on an important level as well. Growing up as a special-needs child, though no one knew it until I was nearing 17 years old, was very trying. People always demanding me to be something that I simply couldn't be.
Fun fact : The dish in the movie is not a ratatouille but a "tian de légumes" 😄 I'm french and I feel like Ego when I eat ratatouille, it's a dish from my youth so i'm very nostalgic ^^
"Confit byaldi" is what Thomas Keller called it. "[The film's producer, Brad] Lewis asked Keller how he would cook ratatouille if the most famous food critic in the world were to visit his restaurant.[1]" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confit_byaldi
Hi Nick!! I wanted to reccomend the movie Wolfwalkers (2020) , im sure not many people is even mentioning it ,. but i wanted to reccomend since the animation is simply SPECTACULAR THE SAME WITH STORY, at least for me. I want to believe that you'll love it , is so unique and i considerate a must watch. Anyways I wish a lot of success for you, i love all your reactions, specially for the way you connect with them and enjoy them is so contagious i love it!!
There is a theory with arguments that Remi chose Rattatouille as the dish fr Ego because the house with the granny we see in part 1 of the reaction is the same house Ego was living in. Remi was living in the same household as Ego. That's how he made the dish that brought him back to his childhood.
Have you ever noticed that is too much probably the old lady from the beggining is in fact Ego's mom?? Maybe that's the reason Remmy wanted to cook the Ratatouille, because he knew that Ego's mom used to cook it for him.
I loved the reaction! I am so happy for you that this movie spoke to you in a personal level! May God Bless you greatly and have mercy on you so that he may do so. Again, I love watching your reactions and I am about to see your reaction to Rise of the Guardians! Movies are amazing and impacts so many! Again I am grateful this one did.
Hey everyone hope you enjoyed the reaction! See you next for a surprise movie!
I'm look forward to it NickFlix
I hope it’s a Christmas movie
We love you, Nick! We love your presence and you brighten our day! 🥰

You know you’re good when it reminds you of how someone in your family used to make.
Explains why Remy didn't agree with her when it came to preparing dishes. Haha Remy just knew how to hit even the most nefarious critics with the feeling of home
I think her point was you can't afford to go slow in a high end kitchen. And she's right, you can't.

Also, another good one is how Anton reacts to Colette potently being the cook. Colette was talking earlier about how hard it is to get respect being a woman in a man's job, Anton immediately offers to shake her hand, showing that he respects her regardless.
There is also the subtle change in his coloration. As if he was able to become a human again after being the "grim eater", a death-like critic.
Another great detail about Ego, is the fact the backside of his typewriter looks like a skull.
@@LMNO837 Well he is the death of restaurants through his reviews.
I know him from The Lawrence of Arabia (1962), Zulu Dawn (1979), Troy (2004), and Ratatouille (2007).
I love the fact the animators put the little details, like the cook's hands and wrists have burn and cut marks from dealing with fire, knifes, and hot metals. I saw a real chef react to this movie and he pointed it out and says that's very very accurate.

It's such great commentary that I really appreciate being included in the movie, but you aren't beaten over the head with it, you have to take some time to notice. Really good story telling.
That’s how I saw it too. She has to be double the chef and extra hard to even get half of the respect and recognition of the male chefs
Another small detail i love is how, when he brings Collette out, Ego immediately assumes she's the chef. Showing that, at least to him, gender doesnt matter. What matters is the food.

All of Colette's kitchen tips are real advice for working in a high end kitchen. Say what you want about Disney, but Pixar does their homework.

This movie is a masterpiece, I'm glad it was a part of my childhood
I recommend you check out Skinner and Gusteau’s cut conversation that was in the DVD. It was a cut scene that explains both their ideologies and why both were wrong.
They sent the artists and animators to cooking school for a time so they could capture the true elements of how everything was done, glamorous or not. Pixar’s dedication to detail never fails to bring believability to even the strangest of stories!! 😆❤️
I was so happy with the ending! Remy got to follow his dreams of cooking while being able to keep his human friends and rat clan and even got to be a chef in his own restaurant! He's happy, successful, he's making people happy, and supported by everyone! Even by the man that was considered "The Grim Critic"! One of my favorite movies!
Pixar does so well in showing realistic ending. The restaurant gets shut down, in Up Carl doesn’t take the house to the falls, Monsters University shows that Sully and Mike didn’t graduate and began work in the mail room, Toy Story the toys don’t go with Andy. It’s said that the dreams of the characters don’t come true but they still end up with a “happily ever after”, just not one that was expected. And life is like that things happen you wouldn’t expect and sometimes those are the best things to happen to you. And to end Ratatouille on a very sad note, rats only live to two years old, three at a max and rarely. So Remy wouldn’t have lived long after the opening of the new restaurant.
No! He’s the first rat being a chef so let him be the first immortal one!
I fell a tear when Remy returned to the kitchen after being trapped. When he stood up in a proud posture ready to die for his love for cooking
"you can not be mommy!" Even though everyone knows mamma makes the BEST food
"Don't just hork it down" is, oddly, the quote I took with me from the theatre when I first saw this film. My next stop was at the food court at the theatre's mall, and there is no question that I enjoyed that meal (which was of ordinary food-court quality) much more than I would have otherwise. I didn't just hork it down; I was actually _tasting_ it.
Bro u have no idea how much this movie is nostalgic to me OMG I remember seeing the trailer of this movie as a kid, I was in my bed in my hold house and .. well I used to LOVE watching disney/pixar movies before the actual movie in the DVD I remember watching the trailer of this one and... wow NOSTALGIA... bro I HATE the nostalgic feeling, I used to love nostalgia but now I hate lol makes me remind of my childhood and how I will never be able to comeback to the old times...
nostalgia is a mix of happiness, comfort, and sadness...it's a very complex emotion. it's good not to get too wrapped up in nostalgia tbh, but there's nothing wrong with wanting to feel it from time to time
@@mischr13 ikr
But for me nowadays its just sadness XD I still enjoy a little bit
I love to watch your reactions, they all seem so genuine.
And seeing a grown adult man tearing up at exactly the same moments as me increases my sympathy for you.
☺️
I'd put this as my favourite Pixar film, just a hair above Brad Bird's other film The Incredibles.
The film has so many layers to it. My favourite would be how Remy is more of a human than Chef Skinner is (humans create, explore, make art), while Skinner is more of a rat than Remy (food is fuel, cheap frozen foods strictly for consuming so your tank doesn't run dry).
I appreciate this ending of this movie so much. Keeping it realistic that he looses the restaurant over all of this, but keeps pushing forward and supporting Remy. I love how Linguini finds his true calling as a front of house manager!
LOL I love that line, "I'm a figment of your imagination! If you didn't know, how could I?!"
Anton Egot's flashback to his childhood is probably my favorite scene in the movie. It communicates so much without dialogue. Similarly I also really appreciate the moment when Linguini tells the truth to the entire staff, and without dialogue you can tell just how hurt they are, betrayed even. The kitchen staff are such great minor characters, it's a shame we don't really see them again after that.
I'm sure they respect you. My folks talked to us when we were teens about our futures and jobs. They wanted the best for us but made it clear that we could choose any path. They just wanted us to make a conscious decision. Some jobs are harder than others and may need more planning ect to get to your ultimate life goals. It's only natural for folks to worry about their kids and advise for things they have experience with. I also appreciated their input as many times they've run into or seen things I wouldn't have known to consider.
This is one of my favorite movies, if not my favorite!! I've seen it around 20 times or so, and I've got most of the lines memorized too!! I love how this movie is more so for adults and also can be enjoyed by children.
The animation is phenomenal, the writing, and all the little details. Anton Ego's speech at the end is so well written as well as the whole message of "it doesn't matter where you come from, you can still become someone great and add something to this world." There are so many beautiful lines in this movie. I love the whole Paris setting and the camera angles used in this movie. The whole creative concept of how Remy uses Linguini's hair to control him. I love LOVE the music in this, just the soft background melodies are so good. I also appreciate that the movie is called, 'Ratatouille' instead of being named after Remy although many people call Remy 'Ratatouille' because of the title fjkgkg
This movie has just a special place in my heart especially getting to see it in theaters the year it came out although I was young when I first saw it.
I love seeing your reactions and it makes me happy seeing your reaction to a comfort movie of mine
That part where Remy's dad asked him if cooking was important to him, I love it so much! Nobody has ever simply asked me that before. I have had to show everyone that I love what I do, so I can totally relate to that. 😭😅
This is my favorite PIXAR movie. They describe an artist very well in here and it's so wonderful and relatable =)
Your reactions are always so adorable ☺️ u are definitely one of my favorite movie commentators and TH-cam channels at that
Aw thanks so much
Watching your reactions invigorates me every time. You just emit so much positivity. I think you are made for this kind of presentation.
Yes continuing from part 1😍Am i the only one thinks Chef Skinner is hilarious? I know he’s horrible but seriously his scenes are so funny.
Yes th-cam.com/video/dDpR_UQSOlc/w-d-xo.html does anybody what name is the movie in video opinion and what genre and year is
The way he's dressed when we see him on streets is the stereotype of the french man
I know right? He’s like one of those comic relief villains who ends up winning, sort of. Ian Holm did tremendous with playing the character.
I have watched this movie probably over a dozen times and I never put together how Ego and Remy were so alike until you commented on it!
The Ratatouille that Remy and Colette prepare for Ego is a proper dish and the method of cooking displayed is pretty much accurate, the only thing that gets left out is that this dish takes over 4 hours to prepare
Your discussion near the end explaining your personal connections with the film made me tear up. I’m glad you’re so passionate about TH-cam and love doing it! Your reactions are so genuine and heartfelt 😊
I love how in this movie Ego it’s meant to be intimidating, and you’re trying to hint that he was obviously based off of vampire. The way his room is shaped like a coffin, the fact that it’s time for your looked like a skull.
Your reactions makes me feel moved every.single.time
Fun fact: the rat killer shop that the father shows Remi in this movie is inspired on a real shop they saw when walking throu Paris.
I love how they portray two diferent kinds of people: the kind that sees something like that and decides never to even question It, and the kind who's reaction was to go against It.
Like, the father was so sure that showing him this would be the thing that would definitly convince him, but It only makes him stand up prounder than ever
If you don't cry at least once during this movie, I will doubt you are human. Nothing to be ashamed about here.
That is a REALLY expensive wine. 1000s of euros, shows how desperate he is to get in Linguine’s way
Something I've heard several chefs say is this movie is one of the most accurate for depicting what it's like to work in a kitchen.
One of my favorite movies. I loved seeing your reaction.
The review at the end and how you linked your personal life to the movie. My heart!!! We support you wholeheartedly Nick! Thank you for sharing such a personal perspective and for gracing us with your commentary and being one of the most genuine TH-camrs out there who isn’t afraid to cry or show how he really feels in response to the media he’s watching.
Nick, your story at the end really touched me so I just have to let you know that your videos are what I look forward to every week 😊 you’re amazing and we all believe in you!
I think this is my favorite of all the Ratatouiille reactions I've seen. It was really like getting to experience a favorite movie as new all over again through you. Thanks, Nick!
There's a short featuring Remy and Emile called "Your Friend the Rat".
I've been watching your videos as of late, and this is the first time I've seen you shed tears. Or atleast have watery eyes.
So glad you enjoyed this Nick! I had a feeling the story would move you! 😊💙
And I speak for many when I say we are happy you chose to peservere and start your channel despite the lack of support. We truly love you here ❤❤❤
16:09 nice little detail here: Ego checks the wine's vintage, then stops himself from spitting it out.
Maybe try "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" (1970), "The Year Without a Santa Claus "(1974), and "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer "(1964). The holy trinity of Christmas specials when I was a kid
Oh god, if Nick watched the original Rankin' Bass Rudolf it would likely be the highlight of my December.
My all time fav is “the year is snowed in south town”
The songs in that one are THE BEST
Thanks so much for sharing! I love watching your videos because it feels like I get to re-experience all of these films with a friend for the first time. Your genuine nature and reactions are what keep me coming back, so please don’t give up on your dream, you’re the real deal ❤️
I like how you made a connection with remi at the end. Your little speech about you doing TH-cam because it makes you happy despite what others say. I get it as well. I'm a painter so I get what your saying.
So many people reacting to this recently, really gets me in the mood for a Disney/Pixar/ DreamWorks binge
That flashback is _such_ a powerful moment.
"You're right! I should *listen to you-!* (slaps himself) ...ouch. (continues to cook)"
It was always hilarious to me, like Remi and Linguini are arguing while Linguini is pretending to act by his own will, it's just too funny
Have you seen “A Secret Life of Walter Mitty”? It’s a MUCH watch!! ❤️
I have!
Yes part 2!
I seen this movie before, but I missed a lot of it, and this reaction filled in the banks of what I missed. thank you for making a grat video.
Glad it worked out for them but real talk I still wouldn't eat at any food rats had touched lol
I'm so excited for Sweeny Todd!!!!!
When are you reacting to Maleficent 2? The second one is way more better and darker than the first one waiting patiently for you to react to it, Thanks! 🖤
It’s coming!
I love this movie so much it's definitely in my top picks for Pixar movies along with The Incredibles and Inisde Out. Another Great Reaction :)
For the record, ratatouille is delicious. It's simple, wholesome. It can be as humble or as haute cuisine as you like. It's supposed to be a summer stew but I prefer it in the winter.
I wonder what the next movie is
“I killed a man. With Dis Thumb!”
The diner that asks what the chef has that's new is actually the movie's chef consultant, legendary chef Thomas Keller.
The recipe for Ratatouille they use at the end is his own recipe for a variation of it, called confit biyaldi.
amazing reaction as always
the entire scene with Ego towards the end is very powerful. mainly because they made it feel so natural and non preachy, that is art of itself
Since You're seeing Christmas films, I suggest you see Raymond Briggs's The Snowman. It's absolutely beautiful ❤️
Your work and videos are valid. You have a community of people who support you and your passion. The othes will come around eventually :)
Thank you for sharing how you related to the film ♥️ I am so glad you are doing TH-cam and have stuck with it!
Fun theory with a lot of evidence to it. If you pay attention the house at the beginning with the old lady is the same house Anton Ego used to live at. The theory goes that the old lady is either his grandmother or his aged mother.
nickflix with no beard i like it🧑🏻👍and i love ratouile🐀👨🍳❤ its soo underrated but it is one of my favorite pixar movies and yes nick this movie make me hungry when i saw this movie today love you nickflix❤ have a good day✌☀️😎🤙
Jesus... I had never seen this movie but that scene with all the dead rats in the traps hanging there by their broken necks is a new level of DARK for a Pixar movie.
You should watch Kipo and The Age of Wonderbeast, and Amphibia. They are really good shows.
Not everyone can be a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere
The store with rat killing stuff actually exists in Paris, including the rat traps with stuffed dead rats in them in the window display.
To be completely honest I ignore critics like that because they always expect to find something wrong, and the brain is powerful and will create that problem because that person is already planning on what to write about the meal even before he gets it. And of course everyone wants to keep their job so they do what people wanna see or hear. Complaints. We are cruel creatures and sometimes love to see someone get bashed. I listen to local reviews and reactions. Because the locals, especially in Paris, are gonna be careful on what they claim is good food. Locals are the best critics because they can eat those foods regularly and be able to give an honest review because they know the good and bad days and how often things happen.
This movie feels important to me on an important level as well. Growing up as a special-needs child, though no one knew it until I was nearing 17 years old, was very trying. People always demanding me to be something that I simply couldn't be.
I rode the Ratatouille ride at Epcot tonight. It was really really cute.
You’re the best Nick 👍🏻
Fun Fact: The patron that asked for something new was voiced by the Culinary Consultant for the film.
Fun fact : The dish in the movie is not a ratatouille but a "tian de légumes" 😄
I'm french and I feel like Ego when I eat ratatouille, it's a dish from my youth so i'm very nostalgic ^^
"Confit byaldi" is what Thomas Keller called it.
"[The film's producer, Brad] Lewis asked Keller how he would cook ratatouille if the most famous food critic in the world were to visit his restaurant.[1]"
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confit_byaldi
15:07 did you notice how Collet looks down when Linguini says "I have this tiny... tiny..."
It's a split second, but bwahahaha that is so hillarious
Hi Nick!! I wanted to reccomend the movie Wolfwalkers (2020) , im sure not many people is even mentioning it ,. but i wanted to reccomend since the animation is simply SPECTACULAR THE SAME WITH STORY, at least for me. I want to believe that you'll love it , is so unique and i considerate a must watch.
Anyways I wish a lot of success for you, i love all your reactions, specially for the way you connect with them and enjoy them is so contagious i love it!!
All the Irish trilogy is amazing, really.
This film never fails to make me hungry
There is a theory with arguments that Remi chose Rattatouille as the dish fr Ego because the house with the granny we see in part 1 of the reaction is the same house Ego was living in. Remi was living in the same household as Ego. That's how he made the dish that brought him back to his childhood.
I forgot all about this theory
Never change my friend, one of the realest reactors out there!
I wish Ratatouille 2 was released on theaters June 13, 2014, and released on DVD and Blu-Ray September 15, 2014
Have you ever noticed that is too much probably the old lady from the beggining is in fact Ego's mom?? Maybe that's the reason Remmy wanted to cook the Ratatouille, because he knew that Ego's mom used to cook it for him.
I loved the reaction! I am so happy for you that this movie spoke to you in a personal level! May God Bless you greatly and have mercy on you so that he may do so. Again, I love watching your reactions and I am about to see your reaction to Rise of the Guardians! Movies are amazing and impacts so many! Again I am grateful this one did.
