"Eat your garbage!" commands Remy's father, Django, obviously a loving parent. Remy is a member of a large family of rats (a horde, I think, is the word) who ply the trash cans and sewers of a Parisian suburb, just like good rats should.

I think running for office might not be beyond his reach, and there's certainly something de Gaullean about his snout. Remy, the earnest little rat who is its hero, is such a lovable, determined, gifted rodent that I want to know happens to him next, now that he has conquered the summit of French cuisine. Directed by Jan Pinkav and Brad Bird.A lot of animated movies have inspired sequels, notably " Shrek," but Brad Bird's "Ratatouille" is the first one that made me positively desire one. He learns the truth about friendship, family and having no choice but to be who he really is, a rat who wants to be a chef. Remy finds himself torn between following his dreams or returning forever to his previous existence as a rat. They strike a deal, ultimately setting into motion a hilarious and exciting chain of extraordinary events that turns the culinary world of Paris upside down.

Despite the apparent dangers of being an unwanted visitor in the kitchen at one of Paris' most exclusive restaurants, Remy forms an unlikely partnership with Linguini (voice by Lou Romano), the garbage boy, who inadvertently discovers Remy's amazing talents.

When fate places Remy in the city of Paris, he finds himself ideally situated beneath a restaurant made famous by his culinary hero, Auguste Gusteau (voice by Brad Garrett). A rat named Remy (voice by Patton Oswalt) dreams of becoming a great chef despite his family's wishes and the obvious problem of being a rat in a decidedly rodent-phobic profession.
