From Academy Award®-winning director Brad Bird (The Incredibles) and the amazing storytellers at Pixar
Animation Studios (Finding Nemo, Cars) comes RATATOUILLE, this year’s most original comedy about one
of the most unlikely friendship's imaginable.
The film's protagonist is a rat named Remy (Patton Oswalt) who dares to dream the impossible dream of
becoming a gourmet chef in a five-star French restaurant. Undeterred by the obvious problem of trying to
make it in the world's most rodent-phobic profession, not to mention his family's urgings to be satisfied with
the usual trash-heap lifestyle, Remy's fantasies are filled with flambés and sautés. When circumstances
literally drop Remy into the Parisian restaurant made famous by his culinary hero, Auguste Gusteau (Brad
Garrett), Remy finds the one thing he needs, a friend to believe in him: the restaurant's shy, outcast garbage
boy named Linguini (Lou Romano). Remy and Linguini form the most improbable partnership that will turn
Paris upside down, leading them both on an incredible journey of comical twists, emotional turns and the most
unlikely of triumphs, which they could never have imagined without each other.
Disney•Pixar presents RATATOUILLE, written and directed by Brad Bird, the film is produced by Brad Lewis
and executive produced by John Lasseter and Andrew Stanton. Bringing to life a wide-ranging roster of
memorable characters is a voice cast that includes
popular stand-up comedian Patton Oswalt, Golden Globe®
Award winner Brian Dennehy, Emmy® Award winner Brad Garrett, comic star and Emmy® nominee Janeane
