Short description
Remy, a rat with an unusually refined sense of taste, dreams of cooking rather than scavenging. His colony does not share his interest, and his chosen profession is one that actively works against rodents. A twist of fate leaves him in Paris, beneath the kitchen of a restaurant once made famous by the chef Auguste Gusteau, and he begins sneaking in to watch and to cook. There he meets Linguini, a young man hired only to clean up, and the two form a secret partnership that upends the restaurant and the wider Paris dining scene, drawing suspicion from the head chef, Skinner.
The film is directed by Brad Bird, who also wrote the screenplay, with Brad Lewis producing, and it sits between The Incredibles and Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol in Bird's directing credits. Patton Oswalt voices Remy, alongside Lou Romano, Ian Holm, Brian Dennehy, Peter Sohn and Peter O'Toole, among a credited cast of 27 and a crew of 387. It was released in June 2007 and runs 111 minutes.
Made for 150 million USD by Walt Disney Pictures and Pixar, it took 624 million USD worldwide. On IMDb it holds 8.1/10 from 935,000 votes, on TMDB 7.8/10 from about 19,000 votes, while a critics' rating of 8.7/10 from 251 reviews is the highest of the three.
What's left behind the scenes
- To create a realistic look for the manure pile, artists photographed and studied real decaying matter. Fifteen different types of produce, such as apples, berries, bananas, mushrooms, oranges, broccoli, and lettuce, were left to rot and then photographed.
- During the initial character design, a sculptor created nine clay sculptures of Remy.
- In one of the street scenes, a mime appears in the background, who also appeared as Bomb Voyage in The Incredibles (2004).
- Remy has 1.15 million hairs rendered, while Colette has 115,000 hairs. The average person has about 110,000 hairs.
- A shop with a display of dead rats actually exists. It is located at 8 Halles Street in the first arrondissement and has been there since 1872.
- Colonel Remy was the alias of Gilbert Renault, a hero of the French Resistance during World War II.
- In the trailer, the French waiter describing cheeses is voiced by director Brad Bird.
- To understand how to draw the scene with the wet chef, artists dressed a specially trained little person in chef's clothing and threw them into a pool to see which parts of the outfit stuck to the body and which were see-through.
- Several changes to the rats’ appearance (mainly their noses and ears) were made after rat expert Debbie Daumman brought some of her pets to the animation department for reference.
- The animated film WALL-E, also produced by Pixar, features rodent-like robots inhabiting a landfill inside a massive spaceship. They are called REM-E.
- Linguini wears underwear with the Incredibles’ emblems. This can be seen in the episode where he is trying to hide Remy.
- Pixar animators worked with chef Thomas Keller at his restaurant, 'The French Laundry,' to learn the art of cooking. Keller also voices one of the patrons of 'Gusteau's' restaurant.
