* A minor one is how suited Remy is to being a head chef. Not only does he have his highly developed sense of taste, but he also is rather good at directing and give orders. The brilliance behind this is the fact that his dad is the leader of their pack. Naturally, Remy would've inherited his dad's talent for leadership.

** And this part is some excellent attention to detail as the concept of "France restaurants" like Gusteau's was started after the "Révolution française", by former chefs that had served royalty, as a way to make a living after losing their job, and were sold as "a way for peasants eat like a royal for a day" kind experience. Of course, the cuisines will have to be much more "high end" than "the way mommy makes it" and Remy's strategy is closer to the concept of the menu of an Italian bistro or Chinese restaurant (or to be more accurate, like a local Taiwanese diner around the corner).

* Ego's SignificantWardrobeShift at the end of the film, in addition to marking the change in his character, is a genius StealthPun. Ego spends the majority of the movie in [[DarkIsEvil black]], with only the occasional bit of [[PurpleIsTheNewBlack purple]] to break up the pattern. But in La Ratatouille, he's wearing a warm brown ensemble with matching beret. Brown is an earth tone--not only is Ego CloserToEarth after sampling Remy's cooking, he's returning to his ''roots'' by remembering his love of food!

* Even though he's already been fired and put through the wringer by Skinner, Linguini's stopped by Horst when he tries to leave the restaurant. It's not because he's angry, though as sous-chef he'd have every right to be. It's because he realises that something's up. Someone doesn't ask for the head chef just because they don't like the soup. Horst, the man who hired Linguini to begin with, realises that there's a possibility that they can save the kid's job.

** This is actually addressed in the film's accompanying short film "WesternAnimation/YourFriendTheRat". In this short, Remy says that lab rats are "helping advance science." He also mentioned pet rats and didn't appear to send any negative connotations about it.

He also mentioned pet rats and didn't appear to send any negative connotations about it. In the movie, when one of Emille's friends called Remy Linguini's pet as a joke, he didn't seem offended (only annoyed that his brother invited friends over again).


Added DiffLines:

*** Probably not Remy, though. Infections from bites usually come from the fact that animal teeth contain bacteria from their last meals (along with anything else they've had in their mouths). The movie takes a second to address that Remy has a better understanding of hygiene than other rats (understanding the importance of hand-washing, for example). If would make sense if he found a way to clean his teeth, too.

* Gusteau died shortly after Ego's negative review, and Linguini says, "I know [Ego] probably killed Dad." This probably means that Gusteau either A.) killed himself, B.) went into shock and died, C.) turned to [[DrowningMySorrows alcohol]] or substance abuse, which did him in, or D.) was too depressed to care about his health and safety and eventually succumbed to an illness or other heath issue that could have been treated had he sought it. Either way, it's dark.

* When Linguini and Collette present Remy to Ego as the chef who prepared his supper, Ego's reaction is different from every other character in the film: he smiles at the idea that it's a playful pun, but he never shows the same panicky, disgusted reaction as everyone else. Whether because the meal legitimately changed his mind or because he has a wider perspective, Ego was one of the few people Remy ever met who did not automatically associate rats with disease.
* Remy gets into an argument with Gusteau about the importance of a garbage boy to the kitchen. Since Gusteau is just a figment of Remy's imagination, this is an internal conflict Remy is having with himself -- he looks down on this kid because of his job and presumable lack of any important contribution to cooking, but he knows he shouldn't.
