Ratatouille2007Ratatouille
2007
Remy is a rat with an extraordinary nose and a dream of becoming a chef in Paris. Hidden under the hat of a hapless young kitchen worker named Linguini, he secretly cooks his way into one of the city's great restaurants, but the partnership depends on a secret that can't last.
The default: films the whole family can watch together; any scary or intense moments for the littlest viewers are flagged in the Context Notes.
Why it’s here
A rat with a gift and a hapless young cook learn that honesty and partnership matter more than credit. The critic Anton Ego's final review is a lovely reflection on humble, true craft.
Context notes
For parents, before you press play.
A grandmother fires a shotgun at rats and chefs throw knives. Linguini hides the truth about Remy for a long time; when it comes out he loses his friends until he confesses, which is a natural talk about honesty; wine with meals and some flirting.

When the credits end, go around the room. Each person gives the film a score out of ten and says why.
- Why did Linguini hide Remy? Was that right?
- What happened when Anton Ego tasted the ratatouille?
- What do you think "anyone can cook" means?
- Was Remy's father right about humans?
Content advisory
Common Sense Media 6+: chases, a gun-toting grandma, knife-throwing chefs; one "hell"; wine with meals; kissing.
