An animated movie from Creator/VideoBrinquedo.
Marcel Toing is a talking rat living in a world of talking rats. He owns the famous restaurant, Ratatoing. After spending time talking about the food, he, his assistant Carol, and Greg get the food from other places. Meanwhile, a group of villain mice plan to find out the secret of the recipes.

* LostInTranslation:
** The Brazilian original was obviously supposed to take place in Rio de Janeiro. The English narrator refers to it only as "The marvelous city, land of sun and heat." This leads to a restaurant patron casually saying she'd come from "a great distance" (instead of, say, "all the way from Brasilia") to sample the delicious food.
** In spite of the film itself seemingly going out of its way to avoid mentioning Rio de Janeiro, its English trailer does.
* LullDestruction: Watch the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDa15wEhqQI preparation scene]] and the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTOpoej-TZE dancing scene]] in their original Brazilian language, and then take a gander at the English version.
* TheMockbuster: ''WesternAnimation/{{Ratatouille}}'' with a bit of ''WesternAnimation/FlushedAway'' to boot.
* NoNameGiven: One of the villains is just called "Brown Haired Rat" by the credits.
* PaletteSwap: Most of the rats are recolors of the same two models with hair pieces added.
* PinkMeansFeminine: The girl main character is pink.
* ShoutOut:
** On the food raids, Greg wears a black beanie hat, which gives him the appearance of having WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse ears.
** One of the paintings is a mouse version of the Mona Lisa.
* StockFootage: The scene with the trio prepping to raid the human kitchen is reused in its entirety later in the movie.
* StupidStatementDanceMix: [[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} U.N. Owen Was...]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i28MqNRG5O4 A Mouse!]]
* ThrivingGhostTown: The narrator describes Rio as, among other things, full of people, while showing an empty street.
* VillainProtagonist: Marcel is a liar, a thief, and sends the rats who know his secret off to a lab to be test subjects... and he's the main character.
* YouDirtyRat: Subverted - rats are both heroes and villains.
