Could Ratatouille two cook up a fresh adventure with legacy, family, and bold new flavors? Here’s what we think in Screen Rant.

Patton Oswalt, the voice of Remy in Ratatouille, expressed his excitement over a motorized recreation of the character. Directed by Brad Bird, the 2007 Oscar-winning Pixar film follows a rat named Remy, who dreams of becoming a chef in a prestigious Parisian restaurant. With the help of a young man named Linguini, Remy secretly controls his cooking by tugging on his hair – a detail that became the inspiration behind this innovative and adorable creation.

Sausage Party: Foodtopia and Ratatouille aren't two animated projects that would be expected to be compared, but the sequel show to 2016's Sausage Party movie proves it isn't afraid to be inspired by the 2007 Pixar classic. Seth Rogen's series is a continuation of the R-rated animated film that featured other stars like Kristen Wiig and Edward Norton - both of whom are returning to voice their original characters. The reunion of the Sausage Party cast is an unexpected one, but not more unusual than one of its additions to the world's canon.

Master chef and restaurateur Paul Liebrandt breaks down the lessons about food that are taught in Pixar's Ratatouille. The 2007 film, which won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, remains one of Pixar's most critically acclaimed films, with a 96% critical score on Rotten Tomatoes. Its legacy lives on in other ways, ranging from the popular Remy's Ratatouille Adventure ride at Walt Disney World's EPCOT to being the basis for one of the many universes in the Academy Award-winning Everything Everywhere All at Once.

Rats have a bigger cinematic presence than many people might have expected, based on the number of fantastic movies about rats (and mice). Given that rats (and most rodents) are seen as harbingers of disease and filth, it would be easy to assume that they would show up only as symbols of squalor, and yet, many of the best rats (and mice) on the big screen show up in kids movies. Only a few of the best rat movies show them as dirty or villainous.

A Ratatouille video brings all of Remy the rat's delicious-looking food to life for an epic full-course feast. Released in 2007, the animated Pixar movie follows a young rat with expert culinary skills and dreams of becoming a chef at a famous French restaurant who forms an unusual alliance with the restaurant's hapless garbage boy, Alfredo Linguini, who is also the illegitimate son of the famous chef Auguste Gusteau. The Ratatouille cast includes Patton Oswalt as the voice of Remy and Lou Romano as Alfredo Linguini.

Pixar movies are full of Easter eggs and references to past and future movies, but Ratatouille went a bit too far with a dark Easter egg that connects to one of Pixar’s biggest box-office hits. Pixar is now a powerhouse in the world of animation, and it all began in 1995 with Toy Story, the first entirely computer-animated feature film. Since then, Pixar has brought a variety of stories exploring different cultures, settings, and worlds, and not all of them have been human. Falling into that category is Ratatouille, set in a world where rats have the same aspirations as any human.
