Remy jumps into the water with the book as a raft, calling out for help, frantically pushing forward with his hands. By the time he makes it out, everybody’s already on the boats and they’re all heading into a sewer tunnel. Meanwhile, the woman is still shooting every which way she can while Remy goes back for a cookbook penned by Gusteau. The rats make it outside, into the rain, and hop into emergency miniboats stashed in the bushes. They end up on a chandelier and a final shot from the woman sends the ceiling crashing down, revealing hundred of rats that had been hiding in the attic.Įverybody goes into panic mode and it’s a dervish of fur and feet bouncing towards the door. A comic action sequence follows, very exciting (and very loud), as the two rats scurry around, dodging buck shots. Remy’s friend, the whiny voice of reason who had been trying to convince Remy to return home, is the first target. In a very Pixar-ish moment where the TV mesmerizes a character and proceeds to deliver horrible news ("Not a flying toy," anyone?), Remy is instantly seduced by the sight of the screen, and learns that Gusteau is dead and his restaurant is on the rocks.īefore he can mourn, the old lady of the house wakes up and starts blasting away with her shotgun. A program about Gusteau, Remy’s favorite and inspirational chef, comes up on TV. The first clip (the longest but best one) opens with Remy, the wannabe chef rat, sneaking into a house to filch some saffron. Our verdict? Either " Ratatouille" is going to be superb or Bird made some astute choices in choosing which clips to show, because what we saw was classic Pixar and their ability to juggle comedy and tense action scenes on full display. Back in March, Rotten Tomatoes was invited to hang with " Ratatouille" director Brad Bird at Pixar to screen select scenes from the forthcoming summer pic.
