Rating: 9/10 (13 December 2018)

Remy is an idealistic and ambitious young rat with highly developed senses of taste and smell who dreams of becoming a chef like his idol, the recently deceased Auguste Gusteau. When his family are forced to flee their home he becomes separated from them and eventually finds himself at a skylight overlooking the kitchen of Gusteau's restaurant.
He sees garbage boy Alfredo Linguini spill a pot of soup and attempt to recreate it. Remy sees that he is ruining it and fixes his mistakes. Skinner, Gusteau's former sous-chef and new owner, confronts Linguini for tampering with the soup, but while they argue the soup is accidentally served and proves to be a success. Skinner retains Linguini who is assumed to be the soup's creator, and orders him to kill the rat. Instead, Linguini hides Remy under his toque where Remy guides Linguini like a marionette by pulling on his hair. Skinner assigns the female chef Colette to train his new cook.

Remy discovers that he can control Linguini's movements by pulling his hair.
Skinner and Remy learn that Linguini is Gusteau's illegitimate son and the rightful owner of the restaurant. Remy gives the evidence to Linguini who deposes Skinner as owner. The restaurant thrives, Remy's recipes are hits, a romance develops between Linguini and Colette, and Remy feels left out. He visits his clan in their new lair but he and his father Django fall out over his admiration for humans and Remy leaves.
The critic Anton Ego, whose negative review precipitated Gusteau's death, announces he will dine at the restaurant. Remy and Linguini argue, and Remy leads his clan to raid the restaurant's pantries but Linguini drives them out. Remy is captured by Skinner to create a line of frozen foods but freed by Django and his brother Emile. Linguini apologizes to Remy, having been unable to cook without him, and reveals the truth to the staff who leave in disbelief. Colette returns, recalling Gusteau's motto, "Anyone can cook."
Impressed by Remy's determination, Django and the clan offer to help. The rats cook while Linguini waits tables. Remy creates a ratatouille variation, confit byaldi, which reminds Ego of his mother's cooking. The rats tie up Skinner and a health inspector to prevent them revealing that rats are cooking, and when Ego requests to see the chef, Linguini and Colette make him wait until the other diners have left before introducing Remy. Ego is stunned and writes a positive review for the newspaper, stating that Gusteau's chef is "nothing less than the finest chef in France."
Upon the release of the health inspector Gusteau's is forced to close due to the presence of rats violating health regulations and Ego loses his job as a critic. He then funds and frequents the popular new bistro, La Ratatouille, created and run by Remy, Linguini, and Colette. The rats settle into their new home in the bistro's roof.
