“I don’t want there to be a sequel just to do a sequel. I want it to be if Brad Bird comes up with a truly great story. Then we’ll do it,” Patton explains, pointing out the 14-year gap between Bird’s The Incredibles and its upcoming sequel.

Q: You recently tweeted your support for the idea of a Ratatouille series. Would you ever do it? Or a film sequel?

Patton Oswalt: Oh absolutely. Any sequel to Ratatouille hinges on Brad Bird coming up with an idea that he likes and would want to pursue. I love that Pixar goes with the pace of the creators. They wait until something amazing happens. So, if he drew up something, that would mean that a truly big inspiration had hit him and he wants to do it. I would absolutely run and do that.

"You just said the key to it," Oswalt responded when asked if he'd return if Bird found a way to continue the story. "The world where that exists is where Brad thinks of a great idea, and until he does that, it's not gonna happen. So I'm totally happy with no sequel unless he comes up with something amazing. And I trust in Brad."

‘Ratatouille 2’ Is in the Works

On the latest episode of The Hot Mic, Jeff Sneider revealed that Pixar is developing a sequel to “Ratatouille.” Reps denied it at the time, but that was long ago—well before Pixar’s current wave of sequelitis took hold.

Yes, nearly two decades after Remy first stirred his way into the kitchen, the beloved Parisian rat chef is apparently getting a second course.

Sneider, who’s been consistently ahead of the curve with industry scoops, seems to hint that the project is in early development over at Pixar. Regardless, the mere existence of the sequel confirms what many in the industry have long suspected: Pixar is going back to the well. Again.

This is yet another in a growing trend for Pixar, which has been leaning harder than ever into sequels and legacy IP. “Inside Out 2” dominated last year’s global box office, crossing the $1.7 Billion mark, and up next are “Toy Story 5,” “Incredibles 3,” “Coco 2”— it’s clear Pixar has decided its future might just depend on the past.

And honestly? It makes sense. Their recent originals (”Elemental,” “Onward,” “Luca,” “Turning Red,” “Elio”) may have their fans, but none have quite recaptured the cultural cachet — or financial dominance — of Pixar’s 2000s golden age. Only “Coco” truly stuck the landing.

Combine that with Disney’s streaming-era identity crisis and a theatrical audience that’s grown increasingly sequel-hungry, and the studio’s current strategy starts to look less like nostalgia-bait and more like survival.

Still, “Ratatouille” is a sacred cow. Brad Bird’s 2007 film is considered by many — this site included — to be among Pixar’s finest, a work of visual and emotional elegance that only deepened with time. The idea of returning to that world is dangerous. There’s no word yet if Bird is involved, and without him, it’s hard not to wonder if the sequel risks missing the original’s quiet, beating heart in favor of something louder, broader, safer.
