Ratatouille (film)

Ratatouille
Protagonist Remy is smiling nervously as he clings to a piece of cheese while he is pinned to a door by sharp knives and forks. The film's tagline, "He's dying to become a chef", is displayed along the top. A logo with the film's title and pronunciation is shown at the bottom, with the dot on the 'i' in "Ratatouille" doubling as a rat's nose with whiskers and a chef's toque.

Ratatouille (/rætəˈt/; French pronunciation: ​[ʁatatuj]) is a 2007 American computer-animated comedy film produced by Pixar and released by Buena Vista Pictures Distribution. It is the eighth film produced by Pixar and was co-written and directed by Brad Bird, who took over from Jan Pinkava in 2005. The title refers to a French dish, "ratatouille", which is served at the end of the film and is also a play on words about the species of the main character. The film stars the voices of Patton Oswalt as Remy, an anthropomorphic rat who is interested in cooking; Lou Romano as Linguini, a young garbage boy who befriends Remy; Ian Holm as Skinner, the head chef of Auguste Gusteau's restaurant; Janeane Garofalo as Colette, a rôtisseur at Gusteau's restaurant; Peter O'Toole as Anton Ego, a restaurant critic; Brian Dennehy as Django, Remy's father and leader of his clan; Peter Sohn as Emile, Remy's older brother; and Brad Garrett as Auguste Gusteau, a recently deceased chef. The plot follows Remy, who dreams of becoming a chef and tries to achieve his goal by forming an alliance with a Parisian restaurant's garbage boy.
