Ratatouille follows the story of Remy, a rat who has a unique ability to taste and smell food in a way that far surpasses that of any human. Fascinated by the art of cooking, Remy dreams of becoming a great chef someday, much to the chagrin of his family, who sees the pursuit of culinary excellence as incompatible with their rat-like existence.
When Remy finds himself separated from his family and stranded in the sewers of Paris, he eventually finds himself in the kitchen of Gusteau's, a once-great Parisian restaurant that has lost its luster since the death of its founder and namesake, Auguste Gusteau. Despite his trepidation, Remy sneaks into the restaurant and is thrilled to discover that he is able to communicate with Gusteau's new garbage boy, Linguini, who is struggling to make a name for himself in the cutthroat world of French cuisine.
Remy and Linguini strike up an unlikely partnership, with Remy using his incredible sense of taste and smell to guide Linguini's hands as he fumbles his way through the kitchen. Soon, the two are creating dishes that rival the finest gastronomic delights of Paris, and the once-faltering reputation of Gusteau's begins to soar once again.
However, their success is threatened by the manipulative and scheming head chef, Skinner, who will stop at nothing to steal Linguini's newfound fame. With the help of his newfound friends in the kitchen, including the sharp-tongued cook Colette and the mischievous rat colony from which he hails, Remy must navigate the cutthroat world of gourmet cuisine and save the restaurant he has come to love.
