The rats evacuate, but Remy returns to get the book. The roof breaks open, revealing the colony, shocking the old lady even more. She succeeds and shoots the roof but fails to kill the two. Remy saves Emile and return to the colony as the old lady tries to reload her gun. Emile tries to run back into the colony, but the old lady shoots the roof causing Emile to hang loose on the chandelier. She grabs a shotgun and shoots at the two. The old lady wakes up and is shocked to see both Remy and Emile. But the document reveals that Gusteau has passed away, shocking Remy. As Django gets impatience waiting on Remy and Emile, Remy shows the document of Gusteau to Emile on the television. Aside from his great sense of smell, Remy also reveals that he can read and have watched television, something rats never do and approve of. As Remy searches for it, Emile is feeling really uncomfortable being in the kitchen, scared that the old lady will wake up. Remy wants to add saffron to it, but it is in the kitchen. However, lightning strikes the two, but it also cooks the mushroom Remy was preparing, in which Remy takes a huge liking too. The next day, Remy discovers a mushroom, and with the help of Emile, Remy cooks the mushroom with the cheese Emile found on the rooftop of the house. But Remy ignores it and goes into the kitchen of the house and watches a document of French chef, Auguste Gusteau, in which Remy is heavily inspired by. Django forbids Remy to go into the kitchen (where all the food isn't poison) and away from the humans as they are dangerous. Unlike the other rats, Remy disliked garbage food and is fascinated by the humans, to Django's dismay.

Remy felt pleased about this, until Django gave him the job of being poison checker, which involved smelling all the stolen food to tell whether it was poisoned or not. By this point, Django suddenly believed that Remy's gift was great. Remy is gifted with a keen sense of smell and taste, which he used to save his father from eating food that was covered with rat poison. The movie then shifts to Remy, a Parisian rat who lives in the attic of a French country home owned by a old woman with his brother Emile and a pack led by his father Django. Throughout the years, Ego tries to put down Gusteau's reputation as he doesn't believe in his motto, "Anyone Can Cook." Everyone loved Gusteau, except for food critic Anton Ego. The movie opens with a televised document about French chef, Auguste Gusteau, who is the owner of 5-star restaurant, Gusteau's, being the youngest chef to ever have a 5-star rating and having a best selling book, Anyone Can Cook.

He sets out to make his dreams come true, and soon he and a young human chef named Alfredo Linguini end up working together in a race to foil the schemes of Chef Skinner. Ratatouille is set in Paris, France, and focuses on a rat named Remy who dreams of being a chef.
