Ratatouille is a video game based on the Pixar film of the same name. It was developed at Heavy Iron Studios and released by THQ, on June 26, 2007, two days before the first theatrical release in Russia. Ratatouille was initially released on twelve systems—Wii,Nintendo DS, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, PSP, Xbox 360, Xbox, Nintendo GameCube, Game Boy Advance, Microsoft Windows, OS X, and J2ME—making it the most comprehensive simultaneous cross-platform launch in THQ's history, It was the last Disney•Pixar game to be released for the Nintendo GameCube (which was discontinued a few months after the release date) and for the Game Boy Advance.
Similar to the plot of the movie, the game starts in a farm setting. Remy goes off with his brother Emile to retrieve apple cores for his father. On the trek he is taught the basic skills he will need to know so that he can accomplish what he faces later on. After the task, the old lady living in the farm catches Remy and Emile, alerting the colony, thus forcing them to escape. After Remy successfully escapes the shotgun-wielding woman, he is caught in the rapids of the sewers, and he wakes up in front of Gusteau's restaurant, where the rat witnesses the garbage boy, Linguini, attempting to fix the soup he accidentally ruined by scrambling in a bunch of random ingredients. Remy drops in and fixes the soup, but Linguini witnesses him, thus beginning a chase outside with Linguini on pursuit. After that, Remy joins Linguini and helps him with what he is forced to do for Skinner, the head chef. The next day Remy helps Linguini cook the food for the customers while also helping his colony that he has reunited with by stealing the kitchen's food. Skinner catches Remy, and another chase is on, ending up with Remy discovering a letter that proves Linguini's right to inherit the restaurant, leading to Skinner's firing.
