I'd like to think that Gustav's rat is Remi's Mum, and the reason his Dad is against Remi cooking is because it eventually led to his Mother's death (I suspect someone from the kitchen would've seen her and killed her, because rat in kitchen)

@malcolm32 3 years ago (edited)

Ok but rats aren't inherently good at cooking. The first 15 minutes of the film is devoted specifically to the fact that Remi is an anomaly in this regard, both in terms of his interest in food AND his ability to finely distinguish ingredients based on smell. That's why he becomes the poison checker. No one else in the colony has a keen enough sense of smell for the job. This is further emphasized later when Emil tells him the rats have been suffering without him.

Edit: I realize there's a possibility that Remi isn't the ONLY rat in existence that shares his abilities. That's not the point. The point is that Remi, within the established rules/logic of the film, is RARE, and it's odd to me that SCB didn't even touch on that in their theory, making it seem like any old rat would've been able to do for Gusteau what Remi did for Linguini.

gusteau lost his star because his rat died and he died of heartbreak not because he lost his star, but because his companion died

@kbwaterbug29 3 years ago

I think it would be more likely that the bad recipe came at the end of gustoves career because his rat had died and so he was trying to hang on to his success and when he died of a broken heart it was cause he missed his "little buddy" not because he was sad about the review

@MovieMadness23 3 years ago (edited)

I’ve had this theory for a while now that Skinner killed Gustau to gain ownership of his restaurant that’s why Skinner felt threatened when it was revealed that Linguine was Gustau’s son and it would’ve been really easy for Skinner to kill Gustau since we see in Skinners office a picture of the two of them so it’s heavily implied that they not only knew each other but used to work with each other and as for the whole thing about Gustau dying because of Egos review? That was a cover story by Skinner to make himself look innocent. But anyway that’s just a theory I came up with so you can take it as you will.

@CGaboL 3 years ago (edited)

I've always had the theory that Remy is actually Auguste Gusteau's reincarnation and they've been, unknowingly, pulling an Avatar talking to their past selves for advice.
Like Gusteau is not fully aware of how this happened (like Remy doesn't start seeing Gusteau until after he learns he's dead, so it may be the case that he hadn't been at peace with that fact), but he's been subconciously leading Remy towards what was familiar (i.e. his restaurant), and since he passed before Renata could tell him that Alfredo was his son, he didn't know that information, hence his surprised expression at learning he had a son all along. When it comes to fixing the sweet bread, it was Gusteau, subconciously, fixing his own screw-up.

@amesstarline5482 3 years ago

Relating to art/Art and rats, Remy's name can also come from an actual artist- Rembrandt. An artist who went beyond the expectations of being a painter, like how Remy's own skills go beyond one type of cooking.

@derpycows671 3 years ago (edited)

Now THIS is a theory that's caught my interest. I had never even thought of the idea of OTHER people having animal helpers to do things for them. Good video

@charleslee8313 3 years ago

Perhaps Remy's mother or grandmother (grandmother is more likely) happened to be Gusteau's rat? We only see Remy's father, but know nothing about the mother.

@dontich 3 years ago (edited)

Or what if the reason the restaurant started failing was Gusto’s rat died — he tried to keep it going but he lost stars and the place entered a declining road — which is when the bad dish was created.

Also it wasn’t the restaurant review that killed him but the death of his secret power and best friend that drove him to depression

I haven’t watched supercarlinbrothers in a few years, and it’s nice to see their style has stayed consistent over the years. Brings back memories

@FlorencePapaeftimiou 3 years ago

As a French speaker, I would never have come up with the meaning of taste from the name Auguste 😅

@brooklynvlogs9396 3 years ago

Originally Gusto was supposed to be alive in the film while the business was going down the tubes and In a deleted scene Skinner was talking to him explaining that the sale of frozen burritos is what's keeping the restaurant going. Most likely Gusto's rat died and that's why the restaurant started falling apart and why he wasn't able to serve anything good to Ego. It's something Linguine will eventually have to deal with as. well.

@gamergirl1035-m1h 3 years ago

What if Remy’s dad was Gusteau’s rat? Because it could explain why he hates humans so much (if Gusteau betrayed him after he got successful) and that could also be why he’s angry that Remy likes to cook. Remy keeps saying that his dad knows nothing about food, but maybe that’s just a cover because he doesn’t want to go back to chef life? Not a theory, just an interesting thought lol.

@stegosaurs5432 3 years ago

I like the idea of Gusteau being reincarnated as Remy. If Gusteau did have a rat help him, then I’m gonna assume that something happened to the rat that spiraled Gusteau into depression and eventually his death when he lost a star while grieving the loss of his friend that helped him achieve his dream and not having the skills to continue alone. Remy being the oddball of the rest of his clan, kept going to cooking as his passion and eventually having a little ghost of Gusteau giving him advice. It’s like Gusteau’s past life is helping his current self (Remy) go back to his dream now that he has the ability to do it himself (in a way). That’s when the cycle started over with Gusteau’s son, Linguine, only this time Guesteu is the one pulling the strings/hair. He was helping his son but eventually decided that it was not what was best for either of them given how it ended the first time, instead he let Linguine stand on his own feet doing something he was actually good at (serving) while still being there for him and able to be in the kitchen doing everything he couldn’t when he was human.

Film Theorists need to cover this ASAP!

@mathieufredrickson 3 years ago

I agree with this. When I was younger I noticed the lawyer’s line about the rodent hair and thought that he was talking about Guestau’s rat’s hair, until I watched it again and heard the lawyer say that he needed a hair sample from Linguini. But the saliva from the wine makes so much sense. I think this is also the real reason why Guestau died. Like Linguine, he got caught up in his fame, his rat resented him for it, they fought , parted ways, Guestau lost his cooking mojo, Ego came and gave the restaurant a bad review, and the rest is history.

@oftengruntled5432 3 years ago

First off, that hair the lawyer presented (and held with his bare fingers, good job smearing your own dna all over it) was too long to be any rat's fur and second, if memory serves dialogue confirms that Remy is an outlier in terms of culinary prowess. In fact, it's what gets his father to value him, because he (and he alone) can smell toe difference between poisoned food and clean food. Now obviously that grey blob that you so eloquently called "grey matter" is in fact actual grey matter! Gusteau's brain is so big and full of gourmet ideas that it is bursting out of the top of his head and that's why he wears the hat all the time.

@bluebunniz 3 years ago

I wholeheartedly believe Gusteaus rat was Remys mom, and he died of heartbreak after she did because he lost a friend and couldn't cook anymore.

@reddotproduction1823 2 years ago

One overlooked fact is probably chef skinners reaction to the rattatouile. It's weird, if the food was incredible he would probably not say "it can't be". What I think: Ego and gusto might have been brothers or something like that, ego wanted to be a chef but was never a good chef, just like gueso. However when gueso met his rat he turned in to a great chef, making Ego jealous, witch explains why ego seems to hate gueso so much.

My belief is that chef skinner once ate guesos rattatouile, probability something casual, like a little dinner between two friends. Something great but forgettable in the life of a fine dining restaurant staff.

However, getting the rattatouile makes him a little bit surprised, thinking it's a joke. BUT, tasting it, makes him remeber: It's just like Guesto made it, witch makes him run to the kitchen, demanding to know who cooked it (who cooked the rattatouile just like Guesto made it). Because Remy changed it a little bit chef skinner didn't recognize it as guestoes either until tasting.
