Spoiler Alert for Ratatouille 2 (2025):
“Ratatouille 2” picks up several years after the events of the original film. Remy, now the celebrated head chef of La Ratatouille, has turned the once-humble Parisian bistro into a world-renowned culinary destination. Linguini and Colette are happily married, and their young daughter, Amélie, is starting to show an early talent for cooking.
The story begins when a rival restaurant chain, La Révolution, opens across the street, threatening La Ratatouille’s success. The chain is backed by the mysterious and reclusive chef Auguste, who is revealed to have been Gusteau’s long-lost apprentice. Auguste is determined to reclaim his mentor’s legacy by any means necessary, including sabotaging Remy’s restaurant.
Meanwhile, a new challenge arises for Remy as a younger, ambitious rat named Marcel arrives in Paris, dreaming of becoming a chef. Marcel idolizes Remy but quickly becomes frustrated with his inability to match Remy’s culinary genius. In an attempt to prove himself, Marcel makes a deal with Auguste, unaware of his true intentions.
Tensions escalate when Marcel’s reckless actions lead to a health inspector shutting down La Ratatouille, causing Remy to question whether it was right to follow his dream in the human world. As Remy contemplates giving up, Linguini and Colette remind him of the impact he’s had on their lives and the culinary world.
In the climactic showdown, Remy and Marcel must work together to create the ultimate dish to win back the restaurant’s reputation and expose Auguste’s treachery. The dish, a fusion of Remy’s classic ratatouille and Marcel’s innovative techniques, astonishes everyone, including Auguste, who realizes that cooking is about passion and creativity, not rivalry.
The movie ends with Remy mentoring Marcel, passing on his knowledge to the next generation, as La Ratatouille reopens to even greater acclaim.
