Remy is a rat who dreams of becoming a great chef despite his family’s wishes and the obvious problem of being a rat in a decidedly rodent-phobic profession. When fate places Remy in Paris, he finds himself ideally situated beneath a restaurant made famous by his culinary hero, Auguste Gusteau. Despite the apparent danger, Remy forms an unlikely partnership with Linguini, a young kitchen worker at the restaurant. Together, they create culinary masterpieces, impressing critics and customers alike.

This movie is old enough and popular enough that I’m assuming most viewers have already seen it. To my knowledge, Ratatouille is not woke.
I’ve heard rumors that the staff working at Pixar Studios had tried to include woke elements in the movie, but Disney’s censors had nixed the idea early on, which in this case was a good thing. Censors get a bad rap, but they exist for a reason. Just as a health inspector exists to inform restaurant owners that it’s probably not a good idea to have a rat in your kitchen preparing the food (unless he’s conscientious enough to wash his paws beforehand, keeps all his fur carefully secured under a chef’s toque and uses the bathroom away from the food storage areas), censors once existed to inform movie producers that certain elements may not be appropriate in a movie intended for all audiences.
(I’ll spare you the remark on which elements Disney considers censor-worthy these days).

My kid was obsessed with this movie and watched it multiple times a day for 4 months, still watches it on occasion now, so I think I’m qualified to make an honest review 😅
Not woke, appropriate for kids. The ONLY thing I guess that people may not like is the whole shotgun scene in the beginning where the old lady is shooting at the rats in her kitchen. Could be considered violent I guess, but I don’t see a problem with it.

If a foodie rat pulling the hair of a dumbass kid sounds woke then believe me, you need help. This is a classic born before this septic ideology. Well worth a watch, funny and enjoyable. It is one of those uplifting, feel good movies to enjoy with the family.
