another easy to miss detail: one of Ego's lines is "if I don't like it, I don't swallow" and throughout the movie, he's shown as almost uncomfortably underweight, but at the very end when you see him in Remy's restaurant, he's noticeably heavier because he's actually *eating* that food

This is one of those movies that doesn't even need a sequel It ended with quite a twist. Instead of Remy becoming a chef at Gusteau's, he becomes head chef in his own restaurant under secrecy, still being able to live his dream. Ego finally gets to taste real quality food he's long forgotten about, Linguini finally got himself a job he's good at, Collette gets treated with the respect she deserves, and the rats don't have to go hungry and be afraid of poison, now that's an ending

*Fun Trivia:* -Showing devotion to art, one of the animators actually jumped in a pool while wearing a chef's outfit, so they could animate it properly. -To make sure things were as accurate as possible, Pixar brought in Thomas Keller, the greatest chef in America and one of the greatest in the world, to help with the film. The producer interned at his restaurant, The French Laundry, and asked Keller how he would prepare ratatouille if the biggest food critic in the world were to visit his restaurant. Keller invented the version seen in the film, his own version of a variant known as "confit byaldi." -Colette mentions having had to work extra hard to reach her position because she's a woman. This is a sad fact of the industry, particularly in France. Yet as soon as Ego sees her, he assumes she's the one who prepared the dish... because the greatest chef he ever knew was his mother.

My favorite part as someone who had worked in the business. Was when Collette was going over the background of all the kitchen crew. It's the most accurate thing about the movie. Most high end restaurants have a motley crew of ex criminals, drug addicts and weirdos in the back who normally can't function in society but within the structure of a kitchen, work in sync to craft the perfect dining experience.

This film gets the "I never knew my Grandmother had a shotgun" award.

I know you might not want to know this but here we go, rats do not have a gag reflex therefore linguine soup was so bad it broke the laws of nature

As someone who’s experienced the flashback of a dish from childhood, noticing that Ego’s face gets color back in it is a wonderful detail!! The warmth comes from your chest and quickly makes its way to your cheeks and your ears grow warm, it’s a wonderful feeling :)

Hes a critic critiquing his critique, that'd like......16 walls

You missed a win: Despite Colette voicing how much misogyny she had to fight to get where she is, Ego doesn't think twice about her being the Chef (he's wrong of course, but his reaction at the idea is one of delight rather than incredulity). And this makes perfect sense, since the best cook he ever knew was a woman: his mother.

wait did he just say he is going to have a baby and NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT IT 4:47

I also love how Ego in the end is less emaciated and more fattened. "If I don't like it, I don't swallow." He likes everything Remy makes and never liked anything from any other restaurant before, hence his near-statved physique. It's a perfect echo of his entire outlook on life. Once you criticize everything, there's no enjoyment anymore but now that his entire worldview has been shattered by Remy's reveal, suddenly he's far happier and more fulfilled. Instead of critiquing everything in life he now enjoys everything in it.

I’m still mad at you for not including the AMAZING sound of the bread crunching as a way to see if it was still good or not. SOOOO SATISFYING

Congratulations, I wish you and your wife the best!

“Everything great about Ratatouille” *plays the entire movie

8:39 My native language is French, and I gotta say, although his french accent is very accurate during the whole movie, this "everywhere" is especially spot-on.

10:14 The inclusion of the "oH" that real Africans place at the end of phrases to emphasize something or express general distress is such an AMAZING touch here

When the pregnancy announcement is so smooth that most people miss it.

i feel like there’s a win missed in the learning-to-cook-properly montage: Collette introducing other staffs’ various not-so-glimmering back stories is like a foreshadowing of “A great artist could be from anywhere”

special note: ratatouille is a stew not a soup.

I am amazed that when Linguini turned off the light in the storage room he was actually still being animated, picking Remy up and stuffing him into his hat..never would have expected the animators to care

So no one is gonna talk about how he casually mentioned that his son is getting a little sibling? Those are such wonderfull news and i am so happy for you, also this is one of my fav animated movies, one of the reasons why i got into that field of work in the first place

“Where will you go Remy!?” “With any luck, forward.” Words that hit harder the older I get.

Man, I love this movie. Ego’s Flashback is one of my favorite scenes in all of cinema. Huh, for some reason I always thought that he had been beaten up while riding his bike, maybe cause at that time I was beaten up a lot at school.

I think when Anton Ego flashes back to that memory he is not remembering how his mom cooked ratatouille but more of the moment where he decides that he loves food and Remy's cooking reminds him of why he started critiquing.

Another win: Remys movements, when he is on all four, is so much like a rat. Same with his ears twitching, nose moving, his fast breathe and his tail. I only noticed this after owning rats myself, he just straight up has characteristics like some of my boys. So many movies with animals as a main character don't take into account how these animals move so it was actually so amazing to see a movie focusing on little behaviours that real rats do

"The average piece of junk being more meaningful than the criticism designating it so" seems like a close sentiment to the CinemaWins ethos, which I absolutely love

Egos monologue has such an effect on me in a way that i cannot describe. It gives off a feel that anything can become great even if it is just your general piece of junk. Everytime i hear that monologue i end up nearly crying because of the profound message and feeling it gives. It shall forever be my favourite monoligue

8:23 One of my favorite part in a movie. I haven’t seen someone stop in a mid spit take like that.

Just like UP, this is one of those movies that doesn't need a sequel. It's perfect all by itself. Not good for studio business who like to 'milk' a franchise dry these days.

The "A" scratches could be that the cookware is Amoretti Brothers, a very expensive line of kitchen pans that happen to be copper coloured

Ego read the quote as “everyone can cook.” This is why we need literacy. Now an amazing chef is dead

You didn't mention my favorite part: Ego drops the pen in slo-mo, and it lands with a mighty sound. One of the few times in adulthood I laughed out loud in a theater.

I recently discovered a theory which states that Ego's mother, the one who cooked the ratatouille, is actually the grandma from the beginning. Which explains why Ego is so touched by the dish, it's because it IS his mother dish. You can compare the views of the house between the beginning and the flashback, there's a lot of similarities.

One thing that is a possible theory, the house the rats were above was Ego's mother. A few details can be seen that show the exact same thing for each, and also showing how Remy got the recipe the way he likes it

Another win: I feel like Colette is the first one to try helping Linguine because she saw her in him. Someone who didn't had confidence in herself to face it and do what she likes.

This movie makes me hungry for foods I don’t even like that much 😂

Also, no other movie has made me hate a character so much just for me to care deeply towards the very end. The voice actor for Ego (appropriate name btw) is truly a national treasure

I've always seen this as sort of a subtle tribute to Bob Ross, just with cooking instead if painting. Afterall, his iconic catch phrase was "anyone can paint".

Ego's speech (article) at the end always makes me emotional. It's just so well written and delivered. Also congratulations to you and your wife!

As someone who works in a kitchen, "every second counts" and "making a dish like a mommy" are complementary. Spend every second you have making sure it is perfect.

"and being pregnant will do that to you" ?! holy crap congrats

I loved how when Skinner asks Linguini if he ever had a rat for a pet, Linguini honestly says "no" because he sees Remy as more of a friend and cooking partner

0:28 So I just wanted to point out the insane little detail of the old timey television- that ringing frequency. They captured that so damn well. My mum's still got got a new mode of that in her room- and every time I come over it just- gives me a headache :'D Props Pixar. Yall did good. Attention to detail never disappoints.

Idk if anyone has mentioned this yet but in the scenes with the strawberry and cheese tasting the animator Michel Gange has synesthesia (most often associated with seeing music but in this case seeing taste) and based the art on what he was tasting which was then handed to the composer to make music from that art. In my opinion this is filmmaking working on all cylinders to make one perfect experience!

God I didn't even draw the connection between the delicately made dish and Collete's "You cannot be mommy" comment. This movie is beautiful.

"Paris seems like an amalgamation of different times throughout history" is the best recap of Paris' architecture I have ever heard

This movie always brings me to tears because it helped spark my love for cooking in the kitchen with my family as a child. The scene with young Ego taking a taste of that Ratatouille reminds me of every time I eat my mom's cooking. I get taken back to days when I was sick in bed and my mom would take care of me, giving me oatmeal, toast sticks, and sweet cold tea made by my grandpa. This movie makes me smile and reminds me of just how much I love my mom. We watched it a lot when it first came out and it's one of our favorites. It's also one of the few movies I never grow tired of and feel personally connected to.

8:30 i didnt even notice that last time! i got chills now...😦

I made a very unholy but pleased noise when I saw this in my subscriptions page. Thank you very much again, Cinema Wins :D

Ratatouille is Pixar’s Mona Lisa in terms of story, just overall animation and story, also the tone that’s what really makes this movie amazing. Watching this when I was 8 compared to now when I’m 17 is such a big difference.

11:04 “This isn’t my fault.” “It takes a strong man to deny whats in front of him”

I really think that details in older movies are highly underrated just because they aren’t new

When I saw this movie as a kid, I noticed that Remy combined a piece of cheese with a strawberry. So I tried it. Vermont Sharp and Strawberries have been a staple of my snacks ever since. It's stupid good.

This is one of those movies that makes you wanna eat everything u see in it.

Nice way of thinking of why he kept the wine in. I've always thought he was checking to see if it expired or something....I was like in elementary school and had no knowledge of wine

Ego's flashback always brings a tear to my eye. such a beautiful scene and done without dialogue needed to explain his feelings because pretty much everyone has something similar in their life to relate to that.

“Not everyone can be great but greatness can come from anyone”- great theme for a movie

People talking about how Ratatouille is 10 years old... Of course it took cinemawins 10 years to fit eveything great about this masterpiece in under 20mins

Ratatouille is an amazing movie about two unlikely friends going through everything together, and beating what seemed like an unstoppable force. Not through physically fighting, but by providing their strengths and working together to perfect their craft, even when ego takes over! And for anyone who loves this movie, I suggest Schaffrillas's hour long review!

One of my favorite little details about this movie is that when we first see Ego, he is pale and rail thin, almost skeletal. This falls in line with his statement to Linguini, 'I don't like food, I love it. If I don't love it, I don't *swallow* .' But when we see him again in the ending, there's color to his face and he's visibly filled out. He's eating more thanks to Remy.

One of the things I like about the dish Ratatouille in the context of this film is that its represents the theme (which is why I think the title suits it well, plus the pun). Ratatouille is not some fancy, high-end dish, its a stew-type meal that "peasants" make (hence the cut to the French countryside, this is something they probably had all the time). But despite this the Ratatouille that Remi makes is still delicious and something new. Much like Remi, the dish comes from humble origins, but can still become something special.

Can I just point out that the final song during the credits is titled "End Creditouilles"?

not to mention the DVD version has one of the funniest pixar shorts ever included, fans of the alien vs. sleeping man know

I love this movie. Seeing it as a teen it has stuck to me like glue, I still regularly have scenes from it pop into my head. I found it extremely inspiring and the message that "the best can come from anyone" is a motivation I carry to this day.

"Ratatouille is a soup"... my grandma would be severly kicking your arse right here 😊 So we're not exactly south french (were the dish come from) but she's still been making it for over 50 years and it's time for a precision lesson : a ratatouille is a sort of pot thing. If I found liquid in mine I'd be worried haha

okay who else saw this and thought "FINALLY!" also congratulations on soon having a kid CinemaWins thats a win.

•Even when I first watched this movie on DVD when I was about 4-6, I could tell the rats were probably living in the attic from the background furniture. •I think Remy’s overall appearance is enough to show you he’s different; while almost all of the rats range from reddish brown to grey, Remy is blue and a bit smaller overall. •Ok, I think it’s safe to say that because of every detail and plot beat, this is the absolute best Pixar movie. If not, then it’s definitely the most beautiful or highly detailed. •It wasn’t until I was a teenager that I realized the painter was making paintings of naked women. •Even though I’ve never learned to properly speak French, I’ve always associated plongeur with plunger, used for cleaning toilets, which is cleaning something, which is the exact job of a plongeur: to clean things up. •I never actually noticed the A113 scratched onto the fridge door or on the giant rat’s ear tag. •I also never noticed the “NEMO” on the caviar lid… dark. •The burns on Linguini’s hands and the stains on his outfit are so true when it comes to serious cooking. I took a culinary class my senior year of highschool (which was this year) and let me tell you… the amount of people who burnt, stained, or cut something was expected. I myself cut a tiny piece of skin off the tip of my thumb, and it bled for about 30 minutes straight. The injuries in the cooking world are so relatable. •I actually used some of the skills that Colette taught Linguini in my cooking class, such as keeping your hands close to you and keeping your station clear. •I was actually surprised when you said there were no French actors in this movie, I always thought a lot of the characters were actually played by French people. Granted, I did learn earlier this year for the first time that the big waiter was the same dude who voiced Hamm, and that Ian Holm also wasn’t French, but I could’ve sworn that Colette and many other character’s voice actors were French. •I’ve always found it neat how the rats use everyday human objects for instruments, vehicles, and many more things that they use in their lives too. •The moment where the dude ran into the car after looking at Remy always made me think, “Could he understand what Remy was saying?” •I never really noticed until this year or so that Colette looked at Linguini’s pants as if he was referencing his dong. •I never realized until watching this video that Remy forced Linguini and Colette to kiss. •It actually took me a few years to realize Anton Ego’s office was shaped like a coffin and that his typewriter looked like it has a skull on it. •For years, I always thought Ego almost spit out his wine because he was shocked by what Ambrister told him about Gusteau’s popularity coming back. Then I heard he looked at the bottle because he was trying to see if the wine was a bad year and made him drunk to be able to hear something good about Gusteau’s. But I guess your way of seeing it as “he keeps it in to see if it’s even worth spitting out” works too. •In the scene where Remy steals the documents from the office, the moment where Gusteau responds with, “This used to be my office”, to Remy’s question, “Why would Linguini be filed with your will?” has some people confused. But, I would actually like to point out that, since this version of Gusteau isn’t real - he’s just a figment of Remy’s imagination - it makes sense that he wouldn’t have a good answer to the question because he’s a part of Remy’s imagination, which kinda affirms the fact that Remy himself doesn’t know the answer (until he reads the letter and will). •It took me a few years to realize that a Mr. Incredible reference was in this movie. •I never noticed until now that the dude on a date with a woman on the boat was the same dude who asked what was knew. •It took me a few years to realize that Bomb Voyage was the mime. •I always knew that Linguini’s speech was kinda bad, but I never noticed it took him 17 minutes to say it. •I never knew until now that wine can be worth thousands of dollars. •I also never knew until now that Ego hated Gusteau’s because he was served foie gras. It can’t be THAT bad, right? •I never knew until today that Ratatouille is a soup. It also took me a few years to realize that the red bits of it were tomatoes, I always thought they were pepperonis when I was little. •Four years ago, I wrote down the entirety of Ego’s newspaper speech for… some reason. I don’t remember why, I just wanted to write it down for some reason. Maybe it’s because I always like it. •I also never knew until today that Ego’s voice actor is Peter O’Toole. Neat. •It took me over an hour to write and edit this comment over and over to correspond with my thoughts on what you’re saying. Not to sound passive aggressive, but I hope that you and all people reading this enjoy it.

what a bloody masterpiece. one of my favourite movies of all time.

_how dare you not win the "remy making soup for the first time" scene._

Me: *thinking about Ratatouille* Cinemawins: Everything GREAT About Ratatouille! *posted 15 minutes ago* Me: The internal machinations of my mind is an enigma.

11:36 Wait, Ratatouille is not a soup right? Its a dish if stewed vegetables. Confit Byaldi is a variation on Ratatouille, right?

Don’t forget the line “Appetite is coming, and he has a big Ego.”

"Le Festin" - the music playing over the last scene absolutely makes me choke up it's a BEAUTIFUL piece.

Glad you did this masterpiece, but we still need “Everything great about The Prince of Egypt”.

2:58 “If you can’t stand the heat, then get out the kitchen”

11:11 Oh... I thought that was a cut implying Colette was depressed at some point. Dang.

It's always a lovely sight to see one of your videos. I emphatically enjoy enjoying things alongside people C:

Ah yes we finally talking about a true cinematic masterpiece

8:25 I like to think ego was checking if the wine had gone bad or had a higher alcohol content then he thought, and once realizing he wasn’t getting drunk off it, swallowed. Kinda like that aristocats scene where the man pours out his wine bottle after seeing something absurd (a mouse chasing a bunch of cats)

5:18 - 5:27 If I can just add to this? Note that, in Kingdom Hearts 3, he can kinda do the same thing with Sora. I think, in a similar vein to what you said about Linguini, Remy isn't so much taking control of Sora as he is getting in sync with him. Sora is so used to working together with his friends that it probably wouldn't take long for him and Remy to sync up like that.

13:25 something that i only caught rewatching this movie half a year ago: Ego was the sponsor of the restoraunt! i somehow never caught that line about him being successful in small business now

That’s weird, this video isn’t two hours long

Will you ever do hunchback of Notre dame? It’s one of my favorite movies!

1:05 Remy: “I don’t want to survive. I wanna live”

Ego's flashback to his childhood home shows several similarities to the old woman's house at the beginning suggesting that was his mother. ...and Congratulations!!!

"I don't 'like' food, I LOVE IT. If I don't love it I don't SWALLOW👿" to this day, one of the creepiest things I've ever heard in a Pixar movie. The delivery alone was...chilling

Should make a Everything Great about the Planet of the Apes trilogy, they’re so good.

if you ever wondered why egos mom has not only a shotgun (and a lot of ammo) but a gas mask, this movie is set around the 1960, and seeing that she could be around 70 years old, it means she lived through WWII and the nazi ocuppied france (seeing how close she lives to Paris)

Although the Internet's websites would like to dispute this fact, we know the truth. The best content in the world is made on KZfaq. The best content on KZfaq is made on CinemaWins. And the best content on CinemaWins, some say, is made by Lee.

I hope this channel gets more popular than CinemaSins. Well deserved.

3:36 aaaaahhh why do I love this part so much! especially the "..ya goof"

11:25 There’s that SAME couple

"I'm going to take a quick break to block every hole in my house" fun fact, while mice can fit through a dime gap rats have to have a quarter size. But rats can chew through concrete and mice can only do wood soooo... yeah. Block up those gaps with copper mesh and caulk (wish I wasn't speaking from mouse experience. In a BRAND NEW HOUSE no less, I thought that was something that only happened to old crumbling homes!).

"That, and being pregnant will do that to you." HOLY FETTUCCINE CONGRATULATIONS!! 💞💞💞💞💞💞

10:05 *cough*

I like how when the intro to 'Everything great about___' I can hear the old lady scream in the background. It just makes me chuckle

If they make a life action of this is honestly going to uninstall life

I've never been so offended when you said that ratatouille is a soup lmao. Although the movie version isn't quite the real recipe it's still near the real deal. It's a blend of tomatoes, courgette ( or zucchini) and a few pepper thinly cut, it has some vegetables juice in the end but that's because those liberate some water usually

Finally he did Ratatouille! I love this movie and grew up on it. I love it even more now that all these details have been pointed out! Good work noticing ALL of these, you really deserve more recognition for all your effort! Keep it up man!😀👍🏼

The shapes and colours + certain music when tasting the foods has always been one the most satisfying and descriptive things in any movie ever.
